This is why I supported a Tarantino Star Trek, to forever tarnish the brand with violence and language so much that Disney would be afraid to add it to their monolithic catalog of IPs
I used to work as an assistant editor for Fox Channel in Argentina many many years ago. And there was this trailer for a star trek movie that had the name on text of the crew on the trailer and the scriptwriter wrote "Zulu" instead of Sulu in the script (my knowledge about star trek is limited to the memes of this community) so I complied and wrote Zulu on the trailer. Nobody else notice and was aired like that. the next day it aired some guy I have never seen on my life entered my island with my producer and the screenwriter and the guy was furious, asking me why I wrote the name wrong and telling me that they had been receiving calls from all latinamerica saying thay we were fucking stupid and had to pull off the trailer from air. I show him the script as it came to me in the email and the screenwriter facepalmed in shame. They asked me to correct the name and re send the traileds asap. After thay I learned thay the guy was like the director of costumers relationship and the poor screenwriter was demoted and transferred to write the trailer of the cooking channel.
I mean, the first one was a fun popcorn flick. Into Darkness was... Eh, not the worst movie I've ever seen. I can't adequately judge Beyond because it came out about three months after my dad died (who introduced me to Trek and sci-fi in general) and he would have loved the ending.
My dad was a film historian, and there have been so many discoveries and so much movie news he would have loved to know about since he died. I think about that every time something new in the classic movie world comes up.
You mean the Disney that conservative groups got mad at because two women had a split second "kiss" in a movie, or the Disney that made Song of the South?
Or the Disney that didn’t let the cops be gay in Gravity Falls, or the Disney that doesn’t let gays in Pixar films, or the Disney that relegated Finn to a minor character for being black
