    The problem is, they have to detract from awesome villain fighting time to explain why Johnny Storm is a black dude now. Even though I know it's based on the Ultimates universe, 99.999999% of everyone else in the world is like, why not recast Chris Evans MIRITE, oh yeah, he can't be Captain America and Johnny Storm at the same time.

    Well, just wait til the world finds out Idris Elba is being cast as the next James Bond..... that should make some heads explode.

    He'd make such an awesome Bond! Love him in Luther.

    Oh, me too. I think it's a great idea. but I think there will be an uproar.

    Bleggh it's 2015. Hopefully we've all grown up just a bit. I want to see Donald Glover as Spider-Man too.

    Not in Alabama.... or parts of Texas and Mississippi

    Wars > Trek if you're talking old school.

    Trek > Wars if you're talking new renditions ( 1-3 vs Trek 1-2)

    George Takei had it right, Star Wars and Star Trek fans shouldn't be hating one another, they should be hating on Twilight series together.

    They're totally different animals - I refuse to pick just one. Both are fantastic in different ways (although I prefer some ST series drastically over others). At the gym I'm usually wearing SOME piece of clothing from SW or ST (sometimes both :p ). I own a 60's style Star Trek dress but also have an R2D2 collection. Why pick sides?

    I adore them both, even played SWTOR ~ Papatoad Jedi Consul/ Jedi Sage
    STO ~ Papatoad Engineer. I am banking the New SW will be pretty rocking. If I had to pick a verse to live in. I don't really know. Federation Captain or Jedi, tough call indeed. if I had to pick a better movie or movies at this time right now. Abrams wrapped it with a bow, where Lucas burrowed from the middle of Frankenstein. ~ IMHO

    I worked at Marvel but before that I wrote some comics for Valiant Comics ... Specifically Magic: The Gathering and Sliders (the TV show). So do I win the nerd crown or something? ;)

    What happened to Sliders? I loved that show and then it just....stopped.

    The original creators moved on and the show kinda just lost steam. The cast started dropping out and it became a patchwork series after that. It had its moments :)

    Good point! Star Trek for me, I went to a Star Trek convention way, way back in the day (late 70's), before those sorts of things were even a thing. I like Star Wars also, but Star Trek first.

    Both, and sometimes neither, depending on my mood and what I want to watch.
