    Yeah too busy on building lore to tell a good story. It’s like all writers these days are from the fanfic community.

      Right — that, or rehashing the hero’s origin story for the nth time. Or expecting you to be neck deep in a cinematic universe to understand why the audience is excited.

      As others have pointed out, the reveal in the newer Star Trek movie that the villain’s name is Kahn means nothing if you haven’t seen a movie from the early eighties, and even then isn’t terribly interesting in and of itself.

        Yeah i remember a interview with Terry Matalas about star trek picard season 3. Where when he talked about writing the season he was all about not going on about the story beats but however to weave the story from one legacy thing to the next.
