Phase II FedCon Vignette - Amusing

Yep. It's hilarious.
Obviously the Enterprise crew has better luck with ACME products than Wile E. Coyote!
I keep saying that JJ Trek is set in the Road Runner Universe...
It's hard for me to read a vignette that depicts destruction by an Acme product as representing a serious form of criticism. I wonder how Abrams et al. took it.
I thought it was inoffensive. And they got the relative sizes of the Enterprises right!
It made me want to see a video like this 2009 Fedcon intro, but with the two Enterprises teaming up.

According to posts I've read here, their "Origins" script had the working title of "Eleven Sucks."

Kudos to Mr. Tobias Richter for the CGI--which includes not only the TOS Enterprise but the ST '09 Enterprise as well.
Our original thought was to have the TOS Enterprise restore the timeline by arriving on scene and destroying the ST '09 Enterprise--with full phasers and photon torpedoes. In the end, we thought that would be pretty mean, so we went in a "silly" direction--with the help of ACME.
No harm, no foul--just silliness.

Is there another link to the OP video?
Here's the original thread featuring this short film:

Here's the "making of" video. It's mostly a cool close-up look at Tobias Richter's excellent new movie Enterprise model while James Cawley just sort of boos and hisses.

Honestly, I don't get the hate for the nuTrek ship design. It looks like the Enterprise to me. Sure, not the one I grew up with, but it's still the same ship. And the interior design is fantastic.
And yet from the clips that were released from that unfinished production, they were still going for a similar take on young Kirk as in the Abrams' film. But then again, it's really hard to judge from one little scene.

Unfortunately, from this little clip, the Pike in "Origins" is not nearly as interesting as the one in the Abrams' films.

Yep. Also, it's the most cliched choice — the over-the-top military dress down.
Don't see how that scene overlaps in any real way with NuTrek's treatment of Kirk, though; if it did, Kirk would have been interrupting Pike and trying to answer back and justify himself.
As for the NuTrek ship design, looks a bit souped-up space-hotrod to me but if you dig the action-movie aesthetic of JJTrek there's no reason it would bother you. Using a brewery for the engine room was the bigger crime for my money...

I appreciated what JJ was trying to do by using the brewery. Trying to use a "real world" location to make up a set. The shear volume that was the brewery, you can't recreate that in a set. My only issue was he left the tanks unchanged and they were painfully obviously tanks from a brewery. With all the use of GCI in the movie, they should have changed the tops of the tanks into something more spaceshippy. I think that would have kept the look he was going for and hiding the obviousness of the brewery.
I wonder if, instead of full disclosure that the location shoot was a Budweiser brewery, it was leaked that they shot in an undisclosed nuclear facility or something equally ludicrous, fans would have accepted it and moved on. Or at least have demanded to know where it was.
