I love Tarantino films; major fan. But I don't think he's capable of nuance or subtext, both of which are heavily used in the franchise. I would also abhor a "hard R" Star Trek film. It would be right up there with the Kelvin films. There's no way in hell the fan base would allow something like that to be canonized. The only alternative I could see is if it involved time travel and all of the "hard R"s were from humans from the past.

Issue Updating (hexbear.net)
submitted 9 months ago by Lucien@hexbear.net to c/jerboa@lemmy.ml

I mentioned in a comment a few days ago that updating to the new version broke for me. I tried updating again and managed to get a screenshot of the errors I see. Uninstalling the app and reinstalling fixes it, so it may be a JSON format change or something causing it.

It helps that Stewart is such a fantastic monologist. It's like hearing something complex about biology or ecology from David Attenborough. They both have such an effortless ability to communicate difficult subjects.

Another key point I feel is often overlooked about Star Trek is the "Gulliver's Travels" component of (at least pre-Kelvin) Star Trek. Every show, every race was secretly a fun-house-like caricature of humanity's worst traits, with the humans of the show demonstrating growth past that point. You laugh at or shirk away from them, but really it's modern humanity that is being depicted (Ferengi as capitalists, Klingons as warmongers, Romulans as subversives, etc.) And then we see what we could be, the hope that you talked about, in future humanity
