Who is your favorite reimagined "NuCharacter" from the Reboots?

[Dales]

Nu Uhura filling a gender lead role that was missing in TOS is good as well and I hope they make Nu carol another lead female. her character is likeable.

I hope they tell the Carol Marcus story. She and Kirk fall in love and do something that starship captains probably aren't supposed to do with the officers under their command. She gets pregnant and decides a deep space mission is no place to raise a child, so she transfers off the Enterprise back to Earth, leaving Kirk to choose between his ship and his family.

it would be great to do a character back story on carol but sadly the film wont have much time to do that.

I don't get the impression that the 'Abrams' counterparts of Kirk and Carol would ever end up together - they don't seem to like each other at all. In this timeline, Carol seems to have more chemistry with McCoy than with Kirk!

When I first started reading the X-Men, Magneto was a neo fascist Mutant supremacist

that hasn't changed

agreed. after STID one certainly gets the impression that Bones & Carol will be an item in the next movie

Huh? McCoy was driving hard to the hoop but clearly didn't have an open shot. Kirk and Carol seemed to have a developing chemistry.

Honestly, outside Alice Eve's looking preternaturally awesome in a bikini, I don't really see what the long-term appeal would be for Kirk given what we see of Carol in STID. But I suppose that doesn't preclude their at least having a fling at some point.

He's been an actual X-man! A misunderstood anti hero! The mutant Malcolm X! A fighter for Mutant rights!

Magneto actually winds up leading the X-Men at one point in the comics IIRC. And don't let's get started about Genosha, that gets... complicated.

And Wolverine, of course, eventually became so popular that they started putting him on the covers of books where he didn't even appear.

trying to understand why this sounds SO FAMILIAR to me

you missed the look Carol gave to Kirk in the end?

I tend to agree that them getting together isn't more set in stone than her being single or ending up with Bones or another character.
Kirk/Carol seems to be too much a given and predictable because of tos and I DO think that the writers wanted us to take for granted they'd end up together but I don't know if they wrote themselves into a hole or were just baiting us ala Kirk/Uhura in the first movie.

either way, I'm indifferent about it. I think I got my interest for romantic subplots already filled by one alien/human romance. Trek movies don't really have a structure that gives to writers this huge chance to truly develop the characters and relationships the way you would in a tv-series or another genre of movies. Spock/Uhura works mainly because, I think, the fact that he's a vulcan gives to them the pretext to make their relationship subtle for the most part (but still meaningful and with some more in your face moments) in a way they never could with Kirk or any other human character IMO Spock's vulcan side works like blessings in disguise.
Tbh, I'd rather have them further develop the existing dynamics and characters than introduce too many new ones.
I also like that in the reboot they seem to at least try to make both Kirk and Spock the main characters. Now, Kirk already has his own dynamics with Bones, Uhura, Scotty and, of course, Spock. Spock has only Uhura basically, and the other secondary characters have no dynamics. Adding one more Kirk relationship to develop would compromise the balance and make it all a Kirk show.
But who knows maybe the writers can surprise us. I doubt it (especially with Pegg who honestly doesn't give me the vibe he's a big expert at writing relationships) but everything is possible.

yeah I agree that smile she gives him in the end...my heart melted. I cant really put my finger on it but I really like carol maybe it the away Alice eve plays her I don't know.

The obvious answer is that it's basically the Jim/Carol/David backstory we get in TWOK. Are you referring to something else?

I didn't see any chemistry with Carol and Kirk at all. On the contrary, I found their scenes painful to watch.

I was kind of hoping that McCoy and Carol would do some more flirting on their away mission, just because yes, I thought she had no chemistry with Kirk.

Then his arm got trapped.

I am more interested to know how the Genesis project will come into play in this universe.

Yeah, you could see it all fall apart from there. Poor Bones.
