A great idea never fully realized due to the writers' inability to fully *embrace* it.

OTD, the season 3 premiere of #StarTrekDiscovery, "That Hope Is You, Part 1," which started with Michael Burnham's arrival in the future, 930 years after the events of the season 2 finale. What did you think of the decision to leap forward? ##StarTrek

I'm seeing this poster making the rounds and it's being identified as an unused Star Trek V poster by Drew Struzan. I disagree. It's a little cropped, but the bottom right shows Drew's signature and you can make out "91" which would mean this is an unused Star Trek VI concept. More in alt text.
Unused Star Trek VI poster by Drew Struzan. Lower right has his signature and what looks like a "91." He dated his "Hook" concept posters the same way, and that was also a December 1991 release. Star Trek VI also has an exploding planet, which Star Trek V does not have. Star Trek VI was the first Trek feature film not to have a one-sheet illustrated by Bob Peak. The final was by John Alvin. It makes sense then that Paramount was searching for alternatives.

the entire conservative project these days is built off of making it illegal to dislike them or say rude things about them even in private

it is not enough to be in charge, or even feared, they must be adored

And that's kinda the thing, right, like he didn't "lead" Suicide Squad or Blade Runner, he was a side character in both. Morbius and now Tron are not successful but are also *single entries*, so you can't even say he led those franchises even if he's the lead in those two movies

"Some at Disney were always concerned only die-hard fans would show up, which isn’t a Leto issue but an IP problem. They were right; 18- to 24-year-old males, the sweet spot, badly underindexed."

Since the announcement of Tron 3, I don't know who this movie is aimed at. Teens & young adults or...
“No One Asked for This Reboot”: ‘Tron’ May Mark End of Jared Leto’s Franchise-Leading Days
As 'Ares' disappoints, insiders question whether the self-styled boundary-pushing A-lister can still be counted on to carry a franchise vehicle to the bank.

More recently I have only heard it used to refer to young people who dye their hair, seen as an indicator of being liberal. Last year I heard a guy in a comic shop warning his kid about "the blue-haired Nazis that work at Starbucks."

I've received a ton of messages about this issue, so thank you so much to everyone who has helped spread the word.

And don't worry, #25 is not the end. I'm signed on to Conan the Barbarian until at least #50 (end of 2027), so there are many more adventures to come.
