SPOILERS!!! NEW AICN RUMORS (APRIL 30)

Man! Rehashing Khan?!

That's like the Batman franchise rehashing The Joker! There's NO WAY they could make that work a second time around. I mean, The Joker IS Nicholson, and...

... wait, what?

Nicholson? JACK Nicholson? You're kidding me. You mean there was a Joker after Cesar Romero?

The next thing you're going to tell me is Adam West is no longer Batman.
 
Exactly. Plus, Montalban didn't look Indian. Neither in TOS, nor in TWOK. I'm sorry, but I'm Indian and he had a very distinct look, but it wasn't "Indian".

And, yes, people, please don't tell me "Indian comes in all shapes and sizes etc". I already know that and I stand by my statement above.
Yes, but that Indian Portuguese girl...D'Silva was her name, looked Portuguese, not Indian. KNS could look like hispanic donor rather than his Sikh donor. I don't look like my parent who is 100% Slavic. We all come in different shapes and sizes.

That them there crazy talk, boy.

It'd be like reviving a 45 year old TV show by making it into a movie.

Oh but she DOES look Indian ;)

But Montalban doesn't... er, didn't. Bless him.

And, no, don't ask me to explain myself 'cos I can't. It's just a look. Nicole D'Silva does look Indian.
 
FYI boborci posted over on trekmovie today "No rehashes. No remakes." Probably had been dying to say that during the hundreds of "OMG it's a remake/rehash!!" posts. Wonder why he is doing it now...

The difference is each time for Batman its a reset, with no acknowledgement or consequences with what goes before or after.

Adam West didn't turn up to hand the keys to the Batcave over to Keaton.

Trek, through Nimoy is at least pretending to be a constant, when it suits it.
 
The thing that surprises me about some of the folks who believe Khan as the Villian is rehash/same old-same old, are some of the same people who got so wound up about destroying Vulcan.

The sheer act of destroying Vulcan, tells us that we can't count on anything playing out the same, so, even if they do a remake any of the TOS episodes or movies, we can be sure, almost nothing will be the same but, the names.

Bzzzzzt. Can I see your data, please? I, for one, loved the destruction of Vulcan. I'm less optimistic about the return of Khan.

Then you are not amongst the "some" I was speaking of. No offense was intended and no fingers were intended to be pointed, and using "some" when describing both groups, was meant to show being a member of one group, doesn't automatically make you a member of the other group.

Doesn't dispute the point that we have been very clearly shown that anything goes, and it's not logical to automatically assume "Khan" means rehash/same old-same old.

Okay but he didn't say it isn't "Khan", right? :brickwall:

Difference is, these guys aren't Chris Nolan. From their track record alone, I have zero confidence in their ability to do anything with this idea that I'll like. :lol:

Trekmovie made it's assumption that the villain was going to be Khan Noonien Singh based on the actor types that had been approached prior to Cumberbatch (they were all Hispanic), just as they based their assumption that Leonard Nimoy was making as appearance as Spock Prime again because he said, "We're talking, we're talking." I'd like to see him back but I think he's only been consulting with the writing staff. No one has come out and confirmed these rumors. So we're left to wonder exactly who the villain is, again. And we probably won't find out in July with the next Comic Con because a trailer won't be ready, darn it. The villain might be a Khan, but I doubt that it will be KNS.
 
Assumptions?

I thought the rumors were "confirmed". Meaning there was inside information or something.

So it was all just rehash and exaggeration of things we already knew?
 
But this was a little different.

People went along with this as if it were the Word of God.
( Nonbelievers were called quite an interesting array of names in the process. )

None of that is true. In fact in that very "Spoiler" article Anthony made it clear what that he was basing on his information on inside sources (which TrekMovie DOES have) and also made it clear that AICN was reporting it as well.
