nine-gear crow posted:Loathe as I am to defend Into Darkness, Quinto's Spock is at the very least a guy who's explicitly stated as letting his emotions rule his character more than standard in the wake of multiple tragedies OG Spock never had to endure, so Kirk dying on top of that would definitely cause him to just loving snap and try to murder Khan out of revenge. And the part where Khan no sells a Vulcan neck pinch is legit a great "OH poo poo!" moment. "WE NEED KHANS BLOOD!", McCoy screams, while tending over 72 other equally-enhanced people already at-hand.

nine-gear crow posted:lol @ casting Benedict Cumberbatch as Khan when Dev Patel was right loving there the whole time and even he's the lazy choice out of literally every other English-speaking Indian male actor on the planet. Was Dev Patel even a legal adult at that point? Could have gone with one of his Airbender co-stars, Asif Mandvi.

Jimbone Tallshanks posted:Was Dev Patel even a legal adult at that point? Patel would have been 21 in 2012 when they were filming Into Darkness. For reference, he was filming The Newsroom for HBO and The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel around this time. So he would have been about 10-ish years younger than Pine and co, but probably easily able to still play against them. It's funny though, I thought Patel was in his 40s and was just able to play young characters, but lol no dude's only 33.

I swear I can't get over how big of a self important wiener Eddington is. "Oh you're just so obsessed with me Benjamin!" "... suuuuure. Anyway can we stop this silly poo poo and you stop attempting genocide?" "You would just love to defeat me wouldn't you Valjean!?"

Cumberbatch was a pretty last minute substitute after Benicio del Toro bowed out. I guess del Toro would've been following Montalban and establishing that Khan's ethnic appearance actually was latino. MikeJF fucked around with this message at 10:18 on Mar 29, 2024 |

Lil Swamp Booger Baby posted:It's literally set up in the first movie that Spock struggles with his emotions, anger especially. Not like it came out of nowhere, especially when he does it to Kirk after his race got genocided and Kirk intentionally goads him. This time he thinks he's lost his best friend Also, Prime Spock should logically have gone "my timeline has diverged from this one in a major way with the destruction of Vulcan, so there is no reason not to use my knowledge of future events to protect the Federation and save potentially billions of other lives."

gimme the GOD drat candy posted:it's hard to believe that the epitome of genetic engineered supermen would be a lanky british guy with a weird face. Dont forget that research colony that gave Polaski the super aging virus. The one where their premise was " what if Khan was also psychic." Then by accident their test subjects just happen to have immune systems that passively convert normal viruses into deadly bioweapons. How the gently caress were they allowed to go about their business when Bashirs parents go to jail for getting the deluxe package for their special needs kid?

Why is a lifelong civilian being tried in a military court? It's a complex legal mess that started with Bashir being at-fault and being in hot water for lying about being genetically engineered when he joined Starfleet, and you could handwave to assume they've pulled some strings so his Dad'll stand trial in a civilian court and get a lenient sentence.

Powered Descent posted:Serious note: it always kind of bugged me that the judge who sent Dr. Bashir's dad to prison was a Starfleet admiral. Why is a lifelong civilian being tried in a military court? It's bugged me since "Measure of a Man" showed that the Starfleet justice system can make rulings on personhood. That's something that would probably end up at the highest court in the quadrant and take years to sort out. I guess in this situation with the Bashirs it was some kind of handshake agreement between Starfleet and the Sector Attorney or whatever that Julian wouldn't be prosecuted if his Dad pleaded guilty, and the Admiral is just delivering the news. Edit: drat, Admiral Bennett isn't just some JAG Officer, he's the JAG. Sisko must really have some pull at HQ if he can get that guy overnight.
