Star Trek Beyond

[Prime Clone]

I don't think it needs to be a new character to be tokenism. If it feels forced or put in there for no particular reason it's the same thing.

I'm all for gay rights and representation, but there seems to be an obsession with "retrofitting" characters' sexuality lately. I think it's from the media reporting on fans' gay memes.

Ah, who cares what that old queen thinks. Old gay people are as irrelevant as old straight people. EQUALITY NOW!

Next thing you know, they'll announce Spock is really Jewish, not Vulcan as a tribute to Nimoy.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Gay Sulu has a nice ring to it.

Happy to hear Takei's take on it all. I hate when they change things just for the sake of changing them and pandering to society. Create new characters of different race, gender, sexual orientation.

Rumor is the movie is really bad and they threw this in it to try and help ticket sales. And it looks like it back fired since George is pissed about it. Although I'm a Trekkie, I wouldn't go see this crap. JJ Arams already ruined it and also star wars.

Why not make Captain James T. Kirk gay?

He isn't?

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Why not make Captain James T. Kirk gay?

Considering the amount of sexual partners he's had, he should be the first HIV positive ST character.

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Is that one of Kirk's many conquests?

 

[kryptonianmutie]

WTF. That thing looks like a petite Japanese woman should be running from it.

 

[YoNoSe]

Space Herpes, gentlemen.

 

[Brainiac]

This movie looks great ;clap Gonna skip it though, the disappointment of not seeing it at sdcc kinda killed my interest.

Hope it does well at the BO though ;clap

Seems no matter what there's going to be complaints from someone.

Oh that's just BS. Probably being said by people either don't like the movies, or don't like the idea of Sulu being gay.

Too many Chris's in Hollywood.
Early reviews seem positive, and I'm guessing they got some good reactions from test audiences to announce another movie this early.
