There's 0 reason to have conflict between Khan and Kirk in this movie, which is why it completely falls flat in the end.

You want to have Khan in the movie, fine...but don't make him BE the movie because that's weak ass storytelling, lazy ****ing writing and bullshit...if they really wanted to impress me, have Khan be the guy who dies saving the Enterprise just because his people are on board. ****, that would have really turned shit on it's head.

And then can really dig into this metaphor for 9/11 with Peter Weller being a warmongering dick and Klingons and Section 31. Khan can really be turned on it's head with him being an ally the whole movie, just wanting to save his people...and you can still have him doing superman shit and having a vendetta against Marcus...and at the end you have Kirk staring off into space and wondering what it would be like to have Khan as an enemy...and the audience nods and smiles....

**** you Abrams. **** you very much.

Stop, just stop. The only reason you are so infatuated with that idea is because you were the one to think of it. Ready for your response if had Abrams proceeded with your idea? "**** YOU ABRAMS, THE ORIGINAL KHAN WOULD HAVE BEEN TOO INTELLIGENT TO HAVE EVER BEEN MARGINALIZED INTO THIS SITUATION. WHO IN THE ***ING THEATER CARES THAT KHAN SACRIFICED HIS LIFE AT THE MOVIES CLIMAX? RATHER THAN FEEL ANY EMOTION OVER HIS SELF SACRIFICE, THE THEATER BREATHED A SIGH OF ****ING RELIEF THAT THIS CHARACTER COULD NEVER SHOW HIS TRUE POTENTIAL."

The truth is, this movie was dead in the water for you the moment Khan was selected as the villain. Don't deny it, you made a myriad of posts about your belief of the movie's inevitable failure if they had made this selection for the antagonist.

Someone mentioned earlier that this movie may have cemented Khan as a Joker like figure in the Star Trek universe. Honestly, this may be what extends the life of Trek franchise in the future(Whether it be a TV series, movie or otherwise).

Trek fans were starting cry foul over how "derivative" the franchise was becoming with each new series taking place in the Trek universe. Well, it's not perfect, but this current franchise is probably Trek's best bet to stay relevant in the newer generations. This idea is underlined by the average age of people (+30) who are attending Into Darkness. While this series may be unsuccessful at reviving the Trek universe, it was probably its best hope of rejuvenating the franchise.

I feel that Abrams is probably one of the most overrated directors in Hollywood, but Clay's incessant fanboy trolling over Into Darkness pushed me over the edge. This was a fun adaptation and re-visioning of one of the best storylines of Trek history. You admitted this much before going all Hulk troll inside the thread.

I'm not going to waste my time responding to any of your trollboyant retorts to me, so instead I will direct you to your own post directed at those raging about Iron Man 3's Mandarin Storyline.
