When anyone gives an opinion on a movie or television show, we don’t expect to hear from anyone who actually worked on it. So there we are, freely expressing our feelings and then suddenly– an actor steps in, a director steps in, or in this case, a writer.
After TrekMovie.com wrote an article on how to fix a broken STAR TREK franchise, Orci came in to share his feelings on the article as well as the fans who had given rather strong opinions on STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS and where the franchise was going.
Here’s how it begins:
One fan going by the name “Ahmed” weighed in on what he thought would be best for the series, and gave that opinion that Orci respects. The writer then responded:
Someone then compared STID to RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK…this is when Orci starts to get colorful:
Then he kind of apologizes:
There’s a fine line here, and this is me speaking out of honesty which is all I would ever want from anyone, also tact. Orci has to be the bigger person. Sure, it sucks when people are complaining especially if you put a piece of yourself into something. No one wants to be told what they’ve done wrong constantly. As you all have noticed, fans tend to quickly get up in arms about a certain movie or show that they have strong feelings about. It happens. We’ve all done it. But Orci is in a different position here. This kind of thing comes along with the territory, you either have to roll with the punches or learn when to pick your battles and do so in a different more thought out way.
Then again, that’s just my opinion.
