That gave the creative team involved an excuse to disregard most of the previous lore to make a funnier, faster-paced movie out of this serious, slower-paced IP. But they had a secret weapon on their side: the movie was filled with some of the most recognizable characters in pop culture history.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>Star Trek: The Original Series<\/em> barely lasted three seasons on the air in the 1960s, but reruns made it an unexpected hit with college students in the 1970s.

Now, Paramount wants to make a new Trek film that ignores all of these years of NuTrek momentum by severing any connections to those shows, and they are doing so with characters that nobody has ever heard of. Simply put, this is the worst of both worlds: established fans will hate that this movie has turned its back on decades of lore, while casual audiences will ignore the latest film in this nearly 60-year-old franchise because it has no recognizable characters.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Paramount has assembled a really great creative team for this new Star Trek movie: Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley wrote <em>Spider-Man: Homecoming<\/em> (one of the best movies in the sprawling <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.giantfreakinrobot.com\/topic\/marvel\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Marvel;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\">Marvel<\/a> Cinematic Universe) and directed <em>Dungeons &amp; Dragons: Honor Among Thieves<\/em> (an insanely great adaptation of the most popular tabletop game in the world).
