Well, I've always said the first thing to do when reimaging the Borg is make every single cube the size of the Death Star.
If the Borg show up in the JJverse big screen...

Agree, I think that would need to happen. Make it even more imposing and threatening.
I'm torn with this. I want to agree with you. Bringing the borg back is a ballsy move, but I really don't think general audiences, especially the ones under, say 30 won't know who they are. I think they had their time in the 90's to a degree, so I think the films potential success would be down to it's execution and marketing rather than any nostalgia for our cybernetic friends. I could be wrong though. I'd convinced myself beyond was going to go 500 million worldwide before it's release.
What is it with you and the hatred of this incarnation of Star Trek?
Or am I in error?
People are entitled to express opinions concerning Star Trek. It's kind of the reason this forum is here. They may be asked to explain their reasoning for said opinions, which is fine and part of the deal, but "What is it with you... ?" questions cross a line into unnecessarily personal.What is it with you and the hatred of this incarnation of Star Trek?

Please think before asking those. And then don't ask.
People like stuff or they don't like stuff. They are under no obligation here to answer for it personally, either way.
Why not kill two birds with one stone? Instead of a (supposed) box office draw like the Borg, why no have the Borg AND Q? A Kelvin mashup of Q Who and The Best of Both Worlds would be pretty epic to see unfolding on screen with the Kelvin universes sleek visuals and production values. Maybe even have Kirk get kidnapped halfway through the movie and become Locutus.
For some reason, I'm trying to picture who would be a good Q, and for some reason (hear me out), Zac Efron keeps popping in my head. He can be funny, and he can also be a bit of a dick which are good qualities for a Q.

I think they should stop recreating exact scenarios from other trek. Trek Beyond worked for me despite not blowing up the box office.
I think that's shoving too much TNG stuff in for me. If we're going to the well of established characters, then I'd rather them pick from TOS really. The Borg is the only TNG adversary I'd be happy with seeing ultimately, not them and Q (which I never cared for as a concept in the first place).
They got wiped out by species number 767645762387. Done.
Glad I reread the thread because this is my point. There is nothing about the Borg that hasn't been done before. People complain about revenge plots in Star Trek films, yet that is exactly what the Borg's big screen showing was all about-Picard's revenge on them for assimilating them.
That is neither interesting or enticing to me for this film series.
Although I don't hate the JJ movies, (I view them as imaginary stories and can enjoy them on that basis) I do despise reboots and "moderizations"
so the above comments do make me happy.
Here, here! Imagine if TNG kept dipping into the TOS well, the Naked Now was bad enough.
Forgot the Borg, go save some bloody whales! Oops done already....
Dolphins?
maybe just show an actual natural disaster and how a ship like Enterprise and her crew would have to respond to it. the drama is there, don't need an antagonist, nature generally does a better job. people are either at their best or their worst in situations like that, sometimes
The antagonist need not be bad bad, just conflicted or with a different idea of what should be done. Two very different sides uniting around a shared threat that does not have a person's face attached to it.
Make the Borg tougher to defeat....
I am so sick of the borg. I really hope they never bring them into the Kelvin verse. I would be so disappointed. I've read enough Star Trek fanfic to know there are people out there capable of coming up with new story ideas ppl would love to see on film. So they should be able to hire writers to do the same thing. I think I'd do this 
if I had to watch a story about borg in the kelvin timeline.
