I am all for new Trek, but they need to fuck right off with the prequels.
Every studio: “What if we instead just go back and write ourselves into a corner and risk pissing people off by breaking continuity.”
Edit: For example, I love SNW. But knowing what happens to half the cast removes a lot of the tension. I know putting Pike, Uhura, Scotty, Chapel, M’Benga or the ship in jeopardy will amount to nothing. Even Una. Because we know from “Those Old Scientists” that she later becomes the literal poster girl for Starfleet.
Edit 2: I have a lot of problems with Discovery, but one thing it absolutely did right was stop being a prequel and send the window of storytelling so far into the future that it can’t cause story problems for other Trek.
It’s previously been reported that Haynes and Grahame-Smith’s movie, produced by Simon Kinberg, "will serve as an origin story of sorts for the main timeline of the entire franchise
I’m not sure why you’re arguing. YOU linked to the article I responded to. Did you actually read it? And did you notice that the article now redirects to a different article than the one you linked to?
It really wasn’t hard to find a different source that for the same article you originally posted. Many other sites reposted.
The article I shared is the original source and does not contain a mention of prequels.
The link you shared just now appears to be an AI slop summary with added hallucinations.
I am arguing with you because from the perspective of someone reading the article I shared, you brought up an entirely unrelated topic in order to complain.

The title of the article you posted is clearly not the same article given that it’s not the same headline or the fact it’s not even about Star Trek.
You’re clearly a troll, and I’m done wasting time with you.
The article that you are commenting underneath is the original source for the quote about Star Trek and does not contain any mention of prequels.
