What he should have said was "Kirk, if you do this, I'll never sit in the captain's chair again" lol

Yeah I agree

So far it's not too bad. I'm interested to see where it goes. I'm prepared for disappointment but only because we've been burned so many times before lol

Overall, it's not too bad, but the plot armor does get annoying in episode 2.

They would need to do something different, but Hollywood hates that.

Lol it would be a mess for sure

Yeah I totally agree. That felt like it was meant for a totally different movie.

Yeah and I think those portrayals are kind of mean spirited in a way. It's like they are saying only a fool would have such a strong moral compass, so they make him dumb.

Yeah but sadly some still view him as having no more than average intelligence

I don't think they do. Everything has to be turned into a joke.

Exactly. The movie feels like it's constantly contradicting itself in terms of its messages.

Yeah that's a good point. It's just been a while since we've seen him be smart. And he doesn't really defeat Lex's "brain beats brawn" comment in this movie. All he did to counter it was whistle for Krypto to come save him.
