FiskFisk33 ( @FiskFisk33@startrek.website ) English20•1 year agoJJ Abrams already directed three star trek movies
I mean, I’m not really a fan of them, but it is what it is
FoolishBrainiac ( @FoolishBrainiac@beehaw.org ) English21•1 year ago*directed two Star Trek movies.
Beyond was directed by Justin Lin which is why it was better than the JJ movies
As well as Star Wars movies
ThenThreeMore ( @andthenthreemore@startrek.website ) English2•1 year agoDidn’t direct beyond. And it’s by far the best of the Kelvin films.
driving_crooner ( @driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br ) English19•1 year agoI used to work as an assistant editor for Fox Channel in Argentina many many years ago. And there was this trailer for a star trek movie that had the name on text of the crew on the trailer and the scriptwriter wrote “Zulu” instead of Sulu in the script (my knowledge about star trek is limited to the memes of this community) so I complied and wrote Zulu on the trailer. Nobody else notice and was aired like that. the next day it aired some guy I have never seen on my life entered my island with my producer and the screenwriter and the guy was furious, asking me why I wrote the name wrong and telling me that they had been receiving calls from all latinamerica saying thay we were fucking stupid and had to pull off the trailer from air. I show him the script as it came to me in the email and the screenwriter facepalmed in shame. They asked me to correct the name and re send the traileds asap. After thay I learned thay the guy was like the director of costumers relationship and the poor screenwriter was demoted and transferred to write the trailer of the cooking channel.

bleistift2 ( @bleistift2@feddit.de ) English7•1 year agoDisney would never have allowed Kirk to kiss Uhura.
Doug [he/him] ( @Doug@midwest.social ) English3•1 year agoYou mean the Disney that conservative groups got mad at because two women had a split second “kiss” in a movie, or the Disney that made Song of the South?
ILikeBoobies ( @ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca ) English6•1 year agoOr the Disney that didn’t let the cops be gay in Gravity Falls, or the Disney that doesn’t let gays in Pixar films, or the Disney that relegated Finn to a minor character for being black
Doug [he/him] ( @Doug@midwest.social ) English4•1 year agoDidn’t watch Gravity Falls but as far as I knew they were confirmed gay, admittedly in the finale.
There was also a gay cop in Onward
I also don’t agree that Finn was a minor character, he was a regular focal point in two movies much to the annoyance of the same conservative groups.
I’m by no means suggesting Disney is anywhere in the neighborhood of acceptable. Gay characters have a tendency to be tiny roles or unpromoted movies (I watch a lot of movies and I hadn’t seen anything for Strange World before it released). I’m just saying “never” is probably inaccurate for modern Disney.
Nath ( @Nath@aussie.zone ) English2•1 year agoUm, there was a gay couple in Lightyear. That’s a Pixar film.
Nath ( @Nath@aussie.zone ) English2•1 year agoThis news article does not change the simple fact that there was a gay couple in Lightyear - a Pixar film.
nxdefiant ( @nxdefiant@startrek.website ) English1•1 year agoDon’t forget the Disney that sent a Terminator after Owl House.
ILikeBoobies ( @ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca ) English2•1 year agoSuch a good show but they got a gay relationship and AFAIK it was cancelled for having a plot which the exec thought wouldn’t work in a cartoon
nxdefiant ( @nxdefiant@startrek.website ) English2•1 year agoFirst same sex kiss between two main characters in a Disney property. Then “the show doesn’t really fit our brand”
it was amidst COVID cuts, sure, but probably an easy win for some exec to axe.
