    I feel like that’s letting JJ off the hook

      We can’t have that after what he did to both franchises can we? Maybe we can find out what he drives and hide a large dead fish in his hub cap? It’s about to be warmer weather in Hollywood and all!

        I say we get cinematic and go with a horse’s head in his bed

            Lucas, Spielberg, and Coppola were all boys in the 70s and 80s. I thought it’d be appropriate to use something from Francis’s film considering what JJ did to George’s baby and stealing and bastardizing Steven’s style

        I’ve always thought this take was unimaginably short sighted and just… Dumb.

        I liked the sequels (generally) but see why people don’t like them. See why people say that they ruined Star Wars. Again, I don’t agree but I see the point. It was a continuation of the story and did whatever.

        JJ made an alternate universe for Trek though. Literally the only bits of canon he added to Trek was that the Romulan star went Supernova and Spock prime was flung into the alt timeline in an attempt to help save the Romulans. That’s it.

        People keep saying JJ ruined Trek but the dude did literally nothing other than make an alternate universe. Trek was still untouched. Spocks attempt to save Romulus is even super in line with Spocks character after Unification II as well.

        JJ may have “ruined” Star Wars but the only thing he did to Trek was make a couple movies people didn’t like (that can be COMPLETELY ignored) and reinvigorate life back into a franchise that had been shelved.
