Since it is going to start, it is inevitable to show evidence. The original work of STXI is TOS, so allow me to use TOS as the basis to speak. (JJ, even if you use a parallel space-time net to block the bricks on your head, you can't deviate too much, right? Otherwise, what else will TOS diehard fans look at.)
Let’s start with Kirk, a character who has never played in TOS. , By the way, when I watched XI for the first time in 2009, the role of George Kirk left me the best impression, much better than his owed little bastard son. She has a good face, a face of loyalty and honesty, and she is so young. The heroic death is really embarrassing, although I don’t understand that the Kelvin and the Romulan mining ship are so close, can simple suicide missions be controlled by computers. What is the use of sitting on the bridge at this time? It’s a pity that George’s appearance is just a short-lived in the beginning. If Kirk is replaced by this actor, I might be more satisfied (you don’t want to see CP then?)...
The legacy that George left to his son is a doomed will. Inscribe the name of the star history, James Tiberius Kirk. The name in the middle is his ancestral heritage, but it is actually the name of Tiberius, the second emperor of Rome. No one knows what Tiberius has to do with the Kirk family:)
However, George's early death made Jimmy a child without a father, and his mother often ran into the sky. Unexpectedly, the little Kirk, who has no father's image, and lacks mother's love and discipline, became a naughty mischief who loves cars when he was a child. Unexpectedly, when he was a child, he evolved into a little hooligan who loves to pick up girls in private life. It is a problem teenager who is stunted because of the lack of family. So much so that Miss Uhura, the future communications officer, had a very bad first impression of him. She thought he was a playboy who could only think with the lower body, and she looked down upon him with disdain. This dwarfed contrast became more apparent when Mr. Spock, a young and promising elite model Vulcan, appeared. Uhura's focus on Spock was the most logical development.
Although Kirk in TOS is also suave and loves to twist flowers and grass, and his romance is all over the galaxy, he is definitely a young captain with integrity, noble thoughts, calmness and maturity, courage, determination, responsibility, courage, and charm. Then watch Looking at the little captain in STXI, can you recall your half thoughts about the wise Captain Kirk in the past? That ebullient, mellow speech? That stubbornness that is so persistent that it is difficult for all the powers to recover? Is that sometimes unpleasant blind arrogance? That domineering arrogance? There is real prestige? James T.Kirk in TOS can make you realize that this is a captain. Since the age of sailing when humans explored the world and tried to conquer the ocean, every crew member on board is looking forward to meeting such a captain. , Imperfect but true and reliable, respectable, or likable. Compared to the captain WS created in TOS, CP is still just a kid after all.
Of course, Kirk, a kid who just debuted in XI, is more unfair than Kirk, who has been in his career for ten years when he took over the task of commanding Enterprise in TOS for five years. After all, the starting line is different. Then I will grab an example that does not require the starting line.
This is Mr. Spock, the science officer played by Zachary Qunto in XI. It is said that ZQ's performance in XI has greatly appreciated and praised him for his radiance. It is true that ZQ is very eye-catching and brilliant in XI, but unfortunately, the role he played is good at everything, that is, it has nothing to do with Vulcan Spock. I refused to convince myself that it was Spock, and even I had a hard time making myself believe that it was a Vulcan.
When he was a child, he fought with classmates. This is nothing. In Vulcan society, the most severe punishment for children who are too emotional is to remove him from the home and school and hand him over to a selected master for special supervision. This Called Nath-Pal-Nahr, this kind of special discipline generally has a low probability of failure, because few children can withstand the ensuing consequences: being expelled from the family and normal Vulcan society. After Nath-Pal-Nahr is successfully completed, the children who have been corrected have the ability to control their emotions and will be accepted back to their homes and schools. I don’t know if Spock ever accepted Nath-Pal-Nahr when he was a kid, at least it’s not a decent thing. But after Vulcan children reach adulthood, they need to be trained in adult control of emotions, namely Venlinahr. Vulcan children reach adulthood very early (Spock is 7 years old, see TAS). How can a young man who is practicing Venlinahr choose to enter the Academy or the Star Fleet at an important juncture in his life, just because his human mother was "insulted" by the master (in Vulcan logic, this is not an insult, because The master explained the fact that there is a human mother who has always been Spock's disadvantage.) With one or two sentences, he will leave the Academy of Sciences in anger and take the fleet, which is completely like an immature child's arrogant behavior. And you know, Spock shown in the episode of Journey to Babel in TOS, in order to perform his duties as a commander, would rather ignore his mother's plea and the safety of his father's life.
There were also two violent counterattacks in the face of Kirk's provocation, the first time with a Vulcan pinch, and the second time with a human pinch directly. Nimoy's Spock can't imagine that he would perform similar violent behaviors without interference from external forces. You might say that he just lost his mother and witnessed the destruction of the home planet. This is not a blow that ordinary people can withstand, and it is normal to collapse. It is normal for other races, but for a nation whose restraint is the best and logic is the best, the emotional breakdown is precisely their shame. The Vulcans are a self-respecting and self-conservative people. They would rather lick the scars by themselves than expose the scars to the public.
The biggest damage to ZQ's Spock is undoubtedly the introduction of Uhura's relationship with him. In TOS, there are two women on the ship who have a clear interest in Spock, one is Nurse Chapel, and the other is indeed Uhura. Uhura is happy to molest their science officer in public, and she is also the only human who has learned the Vulcan harp from Spock. But judging from various clues, their relationship only ends here. Chapel's favor with Spock has been maintained until the film age. By the time of the movie, Uhura had turned to an ambiguous scene with Chief Engineer Scotty.
Intermarriage among Vulcans is rare. According to Vulcan customs, Spock must have been engaged to a Vulcan girl when he was a child. Before Pon Farr arrived and completed kun-ut-kali-fi, it was impossible for him to develop a romantic relationship with women of other races. . The prerequisite for Sarek and Amanda to marry is that his bonding and T'Rea, the mate partner of Pon Farr for the first time, have divorced him.
As for the behavior of blatant kiss on the bridge, it goes beyond the reserved and conservative nature of the Vulcan tribe. Putting a knife on Nimoy's first mate's neck, he must not be able to do such a thing.
In addition, the first officer's symbol of the original era, Vulcan's neck pinch technique, fusion of thoughts, and Vulcan salute ZQ version were used once, Nimoy's signature eyebrow raising movement ZQ was done once, and it was done...so-so, his eyebrows are obviously not flexible enough. It is said that Vulcan greeting is also mixed with moisture. Neck pinch technique is done very well...extremely vicious == Nimoy originally invented the nerve pinch to make the first mate fight more elegantly, like a member of a logical race rather than a barbarian. So when the chief mate wants to attack people, the most common thing to do is to walk up and hold out his hand
calmly ... ( The murderous version of ZQ is good for humans to pinch!) Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy of KU, behaved It's quite satisfactory, not particularly outstanding, but it doesn't deviate much. If you don't take DeForest's doctors as a reference, KU's McCoy is pretty pleasing, but have you noticed that this young version of McCoy is more gentle. Compared to the habit of pinching the first mate (or the habit of pinching each other) that DeForest has gradually escalated in the third season of TOS and TAS, the doctor in XI even publicly revealed to Kirk that he likes Spock. The doctors of the original era simply love it in his heart. Okay, even if he wants to apologize to the chief mate, he has to be eager to talk about it. There is also the damage to the dead and the vulcan such as making the first mate. The type of restraint is too much to disturb the bitter thoughts that are forced to ridicule each other. DeForest's doctor is clearly a sweetheart warm baby (when facing the captain) and a thorny rambutan (when facing the first officer). KU's doctor is still a warm baby, but the properties of long thorns are severely weakened. In the whole film, only Spock was worried about McCoy after throwing Kirk to the Vega ice hockey and approached him to talk secretly on the bridge. The KU version finally restored the look of a doctor in the TOS era. Some commentators used "like possession" to describe the KU version of the doctor at this time.
Two famous words of Dr. De, "He's dead, Jim!" and "I am a doctor, not a XXX!" Only the latter was used by KU once, and he said "I am a doctor, not a physicist."
New edition Sulu came as a temporary substitute because the original helmsman was ill.
By the way, the USS Enterprise NCC1701 in XI is a new ship on its maiden voyage (panic...). This puts Captain April and two five-year missions under the command of Captain Pike and Spock’s 11-year service period on Enterprise directly. It was obliterated, so that Spock’s Cmdr rank made me suspicious. A rookie who had just graduated and had no actual combat experience could not be responsible for the programming of the Kobayashi Maru test anyway. The chief mate in TOS did not serve as a starship until 2284. College instructor. His service period has been nearly 30 years, deducting the period of Kolinahr practice in Gol. And XI tells us that in 2258, 28-year-old Spock has been responsible for Kobayashi Maru's programming for four years!)
New version Sulu feels pretty good. What's impressive about the technical error that just appeared on the field is his calmness and composure. The fencing fight on the drill also deepened the impression of the new helmsman. The original George Takei's Sulu is a very cute character. He likes to grow flowers, and he likes hot and cold weapons. He speaks fluent and clear English with a slight accent. He guards the steering platform and weapon launch console all the year round. Sitting next door is his best friend and navigator. Substitute science officer Chekov. He occasionally disappears in one episode, but will soon reappear in the next episode. There are not many outings, but also a lot, and there are a lot of jokes. Overall, it is a loyal and reliable field team choice (definitely more reliable than Chekov, a Russian kid who has been in repeated situations). Probably it was the appearance of Sulu in The Naked Time that he was shirtless with a sword and stab after being infected with the virus, which made the screenwriter of XI have the association of his proficient swordsmanship, adding this new skill to the new version of Sulu.
The old and new versions of Scotty's character are not comparable. The new version patronizes and emphasizes that it is funny. In addition to the last throwing (curved speed) core to escape the black hole, it is also reminiscent of the original Chief Engineer. Although Grandpa Doohan's Scotty is so cute and often makes people laugh at the table, it must not be funny...
Both old and new Chekov have cute baby faces. Chekov was a role that only appeared in the second season of TOS. In TAS, this role was cut for cost-saving purposes and replaced with an alien pilot, Erics. In addition to his responsibilities as a navigator, he also serves as a science officer during Spock's field work or when he is not on duty, monitoring sensors. His mantra is "We Russians...", he would talk about the great achievements of his Russian ancestors. Of course, this excitement was often interrupted mercilessly by his captain. Chekov's own favorite TOS episode is the third season of Spectre Of The Gun. In this episode, he is the main accident center (Chekov was originally an accident physique). He had a relationship with the girl in the illusion and kissed affectionately. It's been a game, and it's been a death. Of course he lived again. He has an accent, regardless of W and V. But the accent of the new version of Chekov is horrible, even a computer speech recognition system can't pass, so how do people who are not standard in Federation standard English learn at Starship Academy? In addition to the horrible accent, the new version of Chekov shows the characteristics of a genius boy, so sloppy can match the original Chekov's ability to replace science officers.
Finally, it is emphasized that nearly half a century has passed. The main actors of the original era are either old or withered. It is inevitable to update, although TOS diehard fans will inevitably have more or less resistance to the new lineup. , But recognizing this fact helps us to accept the younger generation as soon as possible. After all, not accepting means having trouble with ourselves. No matter how beautiful the older generation is, they can only be treasures left in memory, and it is very likely that in the future, we will have to look at these young faces and look forward to a long period of time. All we can do is to watch this generation grow old. (You are trying to convince yourself, isn't it that you are the most complaining about the new lineup?...)
