Prometheus

[Wrathborne]

The guy destroyed 40 years of Trek canon, he left his mark.

He made an alternate universe that allowed him to do so, without affecting the original cannon.

The feedback the rumor got was almost universally negative in nature. DO NOT WANT was the most common reaction to having Khan in ST2.

Fans felt that Montalban had nailed the part and there was no point in going there anyway. I agreed.

Why not introduce a new bad guy? I mean, JJ has to add something to the series other than lenseflares. I mean, in 10 years from now and when you look back at his ST movies.... What did he added to the franchise other than a nice visual update. He needs to add some unique characters IMO.

I dunno, wouldn't mind seeing Khan played by an actual Indian actor though...Minus the Indian actor 'Khan', guys an intergalactic douche.

I'm pretty sure that Khan fans did not want him to appear in ST2. And I bet Paramount knew about the hate brewing within that base sparked by the rumor.

It would've helped if the rumor had been debunked a lot sooner.

[Wrathborne]

Naw,letting Khans fan base know early would have saved all kinds of money on advertising later.

They never said they were going to do Khan though, makes me wonder who else but me was paying attention when the rumors began, it sounded interesting yes...but in all seriousness the fact that paramount never said anything about the rumor kind of confirmed it wasnt going to happen. Lets face it, if they did do Khan, Paramount would have announced that shit ASAP due to how large the characters fanbase is.

More than happy to see Benedict Cumberbach as the villain,whoever he is.

Well, to be honest I only skim through all the info from the movies I have yet to see. Most of the time I stop at the headline. So I didn't try to find out more on that rumor. But the fact that they went after some Hispanic actors before they settled with Benedict, made me think maybe there was something to the rumor...

Well sometimes you need some hype here and there. Like the new Star Trek 2 flick... just found out that the villain is NOT Khan.

HYPED!

[Wrathborne]

No need for hype, the space ship feature looks interesting...but with the film a few days away its better to just wait patiently.

Collider has a new Prometeus article... don't know what it's about (didn't read it) but for those users that don't mind getting hyped (spoiled) with it, here is the link:

For fuck's sake. Why do people have to do this? How many times have people said not to post spoilers in here? Christ...

[Wrathborne]

I guess that fabled "ignore" option this forum has would come quite handy right now, doesn't it.

Don't always need the 'ignore option' to not respond to someone, doing pretty well without it.

[Pikminister]

or ignore each other

Problem is that now that I know what the films about, I wont be able to forget it when I watch the movie. Gonna be stuck in my head when I watch it. Unlike LOTR, which has been around for so long that everyone knows it, this is different because of the type of film it is.

Its kind of like a murder mystery film, If you know who the murderer is before you watch it..does it really matter what his motives are?

Well, have you seen Columbo? You see who does the deed during the opening credits. But the awesome part is seeing how Columbo got his man/woman at the very end of the show.

[Wrathborne]

You can still enjoy the movie, though.... I already knew how TLotR would end for instance. I bet Harry Potter fans knew how the HP movies would end too.

Not saying that this justifies people spoiling a movie for others, but only that you can still enjoy it.
