Star Trek Trailer

Mostly I am meh.

Let's be honest here, Cumberbund does not have the voice to do growly. Dear JJ et al., he can do plenty evil without growling.

Secondly

No, just no. At least 9/10ths of the punch of Wrath of Khan comes from having known those characters for years. You can't recapture that in two films. And killing off McCoy would also not work.

And if they're pretending this isn't a Khan re-hash, why are they making it look like one? Lying to your audience is not good. And unfortunately I have seen too many action movies to be impressed by generic stuff blowing up.

Whether Cumber turns out to be Khan or not, they've already soured me. They're prioritizing marketing over not looking like total assholes. Way to live up to the spirit of Trek. Urgh.

And yeah, there are indications they might recreate Spock's death scene and it's like... That was meaningful because of yeeeeears of history. Reboot has ONE movie where Kirk and Spock fought for 75% of it.
