I hate to be a wet blanket, but if Pegg's remarks re: writing women characters are going to be the subject of an ongoing discussion, that dialogue should probably find a thread of its own, rather than repeatedly taking over threads which are about something else.
Well, yes. I wasn't interested enough to open a thread about my personal opinion about Pegg (isn't that against the rules?) everything began here because I made a random comment (that was in topic for me) and some had a problem about it and apparently felt the impellent need to try to 'convince me' that their own interpretation of Pegg's quotes is a fact while I apparently are the evil person 'hating' on poor innocent Simon because I have absolutely no reason to worry about his writing for some aspects he himself
admitted he is not the best at writing about. And again, I really hope I'm wrong anyway because if I'm right I won't like the movie.
The original point, that was derailed, was that those who hope to see more of the original trinity maybe will get that because Pegg seems to be pro that direction to me. Although, both Uhura and Mccoy will continue to be secondary compared to k/s anyway, but I still think that if it were for Pegg alone you could maybe hope he'd give more space to the original trio than the dynamics which are more unique to the reboot.
I don't necessarily agree with the 'myopic' (cit) focus on kirk/spock (I might argue that stid is much more about kirk than spock but I digress) for a modern reboot too (which, instead, could have been the perfect opportunity to develop the rest of the characters too) but I don't think that will change that much and I get why though I think they can still find a balance if they want.
Though, if the rumor about paramount wanting trek to be more like the marvel franchise is true then that might mean that some producers want the next movie to be a bit more about an ensemble now. The director is good with big casts too.
