Interestingly, quite similar to the FASA model of Klingon culture. I hope they use it, or some variant.
All they did was add hair. The makeup was still essentially identical. There was a picture if Worf, but it was a screencap from TNG
They did quite a bit more than "just add hair", they softened them up, got rid of the skull elongation, monster claws, and removed extraneous details from newly introduced characters, like K'vort missing the extra nostrils. Disco Season 2 Klingons are in an apparent transitional state between Disco Season 1 and the TNG style.
Not for all of them, just the ones with a full head of hair. There was a Klingon with only a pony tail in season 2 that still had the elongated head. And K'vort did have the double nostrils, you just can't see them from the angles he's shot at in the episode. I personally never thought they had four nostrils, I saw it as an exaggeration of that extra skin flap some Klingons had on their noses in Late TNG/DS9. Like Martok here.
"Back to a franchise where he was a little more celebrated." Into Darkness got a LOT more flak than Rise of the Skywalker ever did. And I say that as a fan of both movies.
J.J. Is doing a TNG reboot (or maybe Kelvin timeline with TNG characters). You heard it here first (from a very dubious source).
I too am directing a Star Trek movie. On my phone. With my action figures. I’m hoping JJ will produce.
Not that I would ever in a million years side with GFR on anything more basic than whether or not to appear nude in public, assuming of course their answer is in fact no, but I genuinely believe the mainstream apathy toward The Rise of Skywalker is more of a damning indignation than a smaller fandom's vitriolic attitude toward Into Darkness.
So am I! Dude, we should totally have a crossover! *Waits for GFR to report Epic Star Trek Crossover in the works, citing this page as their source.*
Just make a very convincing thread on 4Chan. That seems to work. Note: No one should ever visit 4Chan.
JJ directed Star Trek movies are better than his SW movies, so there is some logic for him going back. He is maybe too much of a SW fanboy to make a SW movie that doesn’t feel like a rethread.
Ironic, since I clearly recall many fans lambasting him after ST09 back in the day, claiming he'd be better suited to be in the Star Wars franchise because of all the "frenetic action" and "pew-pew!" How we've come full circle...
The only thing I believe in that article, is that PARAMOUNT would love to get him back doing something (anything) to make them more money. Either Producing and/or Directing. The rest is most likely BS.
One of the crucial differences between his Trek movies and his Star Wars movies is in Trek he was working with established characters...and he wrote coherent arcs for them as well. Kirk/Spock/Uhura had way more growth and coherent sense of movement across ST09/STID than Rey/Finn/Poe ever did.
So Luke, Leia, Solo, Chewbacca, Calrissian, C3PIO, R2D2, Yoda and Palpatine weren’t established characters? Hmm.. Guess I saw a different trilogy of movies.
