You’re all overcomplicating a simple story that you heard from a third party and injecting a lot of your own personal bias into it.

Yeah, how strange it is that Marvel would create a group of teenage superheroes that actually look like a typical group of teenagers in the 21st Century. And THEN cast them accordingly for a TV adaptation. What were they thinking trying to actually appeal to the demographic they’re targeting?

What rules are they running roughshod over besides that one?

Except, it wasn’t a religious-free society. Starfleet was rife with religious and fundamentalist belief systems, including ancient human belief systems (There was a practicing Hindu on the Enterprise D and the original had a nondenominational chapel), they just learned to better respect and manage crewmembers who

The Kree have been messing with humanity since the dawn of man, so Skrull interference at any point in history wouldn’t be unusual.

Because this is totally working.

Yes. <—-

There’s crossover to be sure. That’s unavoidable. Especially if you factor in Trek films, which have to be different to satisfy box office demands. But my overall point is that people treat the two as if their diametrically opposed choices. Heads or tails. When there’s more to either than such simplicity.

Of...space?

Your missing the basic point. Everything on the structure is susceptible to phaser fire without shielding. An entire saucer section of the ship can be punctured (and has) if shields aren’t up. Not to mention, engineering often is deceptive in what is and isn’t fragile. “It looks flimsy” doesn’t mean it definitely is.

The problem with that supposition is that it suggests they are basically two sides of the same coin. That they are essentially the same ice cream with different flavors. But that isn’t as apt a metaphor.

And every engine in Star Trek is one phaser shot away from dismantling. There’s a reason they have shields. It’s because EVERYTHING is susceptible to being detached by well placed phaser fire.

If your shields aren’t up, a singular placed phaser or photon torpedo does that anyway. Considering this series has been predicated on the idea that starships can have engines just sitting on pylons, and it not be a problem, this is not a valid criticism.

Geez, bit of an overreaction there, guys. Especially over a detail that could have been missed while skimming, and clearly wasn’t phrased in a trolling manner.

This is not about power. This about messaging. Feige himself has made the identical statements about the TV crossover. “That’s definitely a possibility.” That’s Feige-speak for “that’s a dumb question, of course we’re doing that.” But Marvel has been in remarkable control of their messaging for quite some time. They

You also have to consider how Marvel BS’s us when it comes to projects their “thinking about”. Black Panther, Captain Marvel, Inhumans, they were all projects that they were “definitely considering”...which is usually Hollywood-speak for is never gonna happen. But if Kevin Feige or Jeph Loeb ever say “we’re thinking

I was going to make an obvious “Uncle Ben killed by Chitauri” joke, which is obviously a joke, because we know Ben dying years before Peter gets his powers would be kinda stupid.

I would be bored if it were another Sony Spider-Man movie. But this an MCU Spider-Man movie with the Spider-Man we saw in Civil War. In other words, it’s the Spider-Man I’ve been waiting for.

It’s weird how you guys take this so hard. Because you’ve never met someone that cares so little about a subject, or just despises a subject, that they don’t use, or possibly even know, the proper terminology.
