Lt. Marla McGivers still being alive with Khan in WOK

Nope. We didn't. That's just maudlin.
If she was still alive after all those years, she would be a nagging bitch that Khan would be happy to send back to Kirk in a box.

So sure, why not be stereotypical about half the population just because you had a bad relationship.
No offense meant. It was just a joke. I guess in bad taste.
Actually, I was stereotypical about the other half of the population too.

No, you were just stereotyping yourself.
Guilty, as charged.No, you were just stereotyping yourself.
I would have preferred the line replaced "my beloved wife" with "my beloved Marla" with Montalban delivering her name with some serious edge. It would have further cemented that it was Marla McGivers and it so deeply affected him.
Actually, there is really nothing at all in the film that affirms his "wife" was McGivers.
Why should we think it would be her anyway. Relationships don't always work out. He may not have really loved her anyway and could have been using her to take over the galaxy. And, she eventually betrayed him in the Space Seed episode. Even if he loved her long ago, she might have ditched him because he was supposed to be this great superior human that would take over the galaxy. Instead he got stranded on a deserted planet. Lots of resentment could have been built up on both sides.
It doesn't really matter to the story. Someone he did love was lost. That's all the motivation he needs in the movie.

I think Kahn let the ceti eels off the hook far too easy. lol
