[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [QB] [QUOTE]Again, the difference is that Batman was generally accepted as being 'new' without going out of its way to 'poo' on the Adam West series.[/QUOTE]I don't see this movie or its creators "poo-ing" on the old series. [QUOTE]Batman had also had quite a few restarts and reimaginings by that time too.. but, yes, there were Adam West fans that screamed bloody murder when Nicholson put on the Joker makeup...[/QUOTE]There were? Those people really need to get a life ;) [QUOTE]This 'new' Trek, though, has a more hostile tone towards the older material, actively saying 'the old stuff sucked, here's 90210 instead', rather than really trying to be respectful. It's wanting the names, the Trademarks, and built-in 'base' for the sales, but not really paying an ounce of attention to why that base exists in the first place.[/QUOTE]I respect your opinion, Vanguard, because you state your reasons eloquently instead of the usual canonista bullshit excuses, but honestly I fail to see how this movie and its creators have a hostile attitude toward TOS. If anything, Berman and Braga had more of a hostile attitude toward TOS when they created Enterprise than JJ Abrams has toward this movie. [QUOTE]For the record, I never expected nor wanted a return to the 1960s for the sets and props.. but, who, may I ask, was asking for a 'relaunch' with Kirk anyway? Most of us had long ago accepted TOS as part of history and just wanted something new that didn't, for once, just suck. [/QUOTE]Abrams chose Kirk, Spock, and the rest of TOS because that's what the average person equates when the word "Star Trek" is mentioned. If he had made a movie with yet another new crew on yet another new ship, people would just say, "Oh hell, not another new Trek" with the requisite eye-rolling. [/QB][/QUOTE]
