I think 09 is a great movie, but more than that, I'd like to see Abrams do the multimedia push.
Same with Star Wars-let him have all 3.

Spoilers Variety about the future of Star Trek
- Thread starter Visitor1982
- Start date
Paramount built and OWNS one of the studios in Canada that it's producing the current slate of live action Trek series and is renting space at another Canadian studio.
Could care less if you take my opinion seriously or not, I am speaking facts rather than parroting studio exec PR speak.
You're taking my words a bit too personal, chill out man.
I LOVE the Pine movies, though I initially hated STID with every part of my being, but over the years I've mellowed about it and actually kinda appreciate it a tiny bit.
I just wish we got more of the Pine/Kelvinverse movies, the comics I guess will have to do.
Better than what the last three movies brought in with the box office.
So, financial consideration is the only sign of success?
Nothing you wrote is factual. You even threw an "IMO" rider in there.
Also, "couldn't".
No. What is it? Teach me.
I mean, technically yes. It's show business not show charity. There were movies and shows I loved that flopped or were cancelled because of low viewership. Bummed me out but I understood why it was done.
Good god, are you actually serious? You've been here since 2008 and don't know how to multiquote? And moderators haven't issued you a warning for spamming yet?
You obviously know how to quote another post. So do that with more than one post, within the same post you are currently writing, and you'll have multi quoted. It's literally super easy, barely an inconvenience.
Then apply that to prequel preferences of Hollywood.
Ryan! You post here?
I've been warned before but never for spamming, guess I didn't break any rules hopefully
Wish I could, at least the new Apes movie has moved the story forward not backwards.
All I want is a proper classic style Trek series set after the 25th century, perhaps 2430s to 'sync up' with our current year. Brand new characters and new stories, make the galaxy big again.
We tried that with Disco.
The fans had a cow. ("You'Re dIsRESpekTiNg CANON!"
)They hated Michael Burnham ("Spock never had a SISTER!"
)She could've existed all along and Spock simply never discussed her. ("Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.")
There's no pleasing some people. They're now picking apart Strange New Worlds ("Nurse Chapel done gone woke! Pike's a wuss! The Enterprise needs a MAN in the Captain's chair! When's Kirk going to take over?"

Nobody liked Sybok either, Spock never mentioned him before and Star Trek V is reviled more than Nemesis and equally as ST:IDWe tried that with Disco.

And you're absolutely right, but all of that could have been skirted over with some simple tricks, for example:
- Set DSC a few years after the Romulan supernova (2390's?)
- Write Michael Burnham as a brand new character and by that I mean no relations to anyone with legacy Trek
- New galactic turmoil because word got out from top secret department that Starfleet has had future tech for over two decades but kept it hush hush unlike Federation policies
- Hilarity ensues as Klingons, Breen, Gorn and remnant of Borg and Romulans become Federation Enemy No.1 again
- But Starfleet now has something called a 'spore drive', reverse engineered from Janeway Future Tech, and makes short work of every "dreadnought class vessel" of any of the fleet with their new flagship named Discovery.
There. I saved DSC
I haven't seen those complaints but most complaints on other sites are about SNW literally stepping over long established beloved fan approved canon, like the entire ship knowing Spock was married or having Gorn First Contact long before Kirk first saw them.There's no pleasing some people. They're now picking apart Strange New Worlds ("Nurse Chapel done gone woke! Pike's a wuss! The Enterprise needs a MAN in the Captain's chair! When's Kirk going to take over?"
It's always the Prequel conundrum. Happens with other IP's as well like SW or Transformers.
Pike's too touchy-feely for some people (too sensitive). Also, they don't approve of Chapel swinging both ways.
Then there are the people moaning about Robert April being the "wrong" skin color (up until SNW, he was a character in a cartoon from the 1970's
).

I feel like it's unfortunate that the 'Get out of continuity free card', in the form of the Temporal Cold War hasn't really been used to its full potential in the prequel shows. You had Sera in Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow casually drop it in, but thats all really. I'm surprised fans never latched on to it in a bigger way.
All the arguments over ship designs, character personalities and alien encounters wouldn't really be necessary.
It's one of the things that the Kelvin prequels got right, as you'll never need to worry about contradicting the events of Wrath of Khan or wondering if The Menagerie is still canon etc.

Define "classic." SNW seems to fill that niche and it's still panned
That's a rather narrow definition of "moving forward".
For POTA to "move the story forward" in the sense that trekkies keep talking about going beyond the 25th century, they'll have to set a movie after Beneath. So Kingdom doesn't move it forward.
I've seen enough of what passes for "forward" after the 23rd century now to be bored by the prospect of more.
