AND ALSO (about the issue with Benedict Cumberbatch’s casting):
…IT IS VERY OBVIOUSLY WHITEWASHING and also just plain stupid? I don’t know much about Star Trek, as is painfully obvious, so I don’t know if the original Khan had anything at all in common with Cumberkhan (except for the superpowers), but…I gather there was no point whatsoever in having him be Khan other than to…to WHAT? It’s not like anything actually changed after the big reveal, other than…they started referring to him as Khan. That’s it. Just…wah.
If they ABSOLUTELY HAD TO have Cumberbatch as Khan, which apparently they did, could they not have added some throwaway reference to him changing his features, or that the other baddie whathisface changed his features in the process of super-weaponing him, or…something? Which obviously is a terrible solution to the actual problem, like putting a band-aid over a sucking wound, but…it might be a little less erasive I guess? Cos now with this movie I gather they’ve pretty much erased original!Khan altogether?
