For me it's Alex Kurtzman.
I mean, look at this guy. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0476064/
He could be an emoji in his own right, for any time some movie or TV slop is dolloped out that is carefully protected from being called garbage because there are culture war markings on it that make you sound like a chud if you don't like it.
Maybe obvious but gotta be the capital-L arch-Liberal Justin Trudeau.
Smug, vacant, good-looking but in an incredibly generic way. Like he was designed by an algorithm.
Santa Ifigenia must be shaking to the ground with how hard his father is rolling.
you know who really grinds my gears? Steven Pinker ! Pinker brings out my inner bully. I just want to give him a wedgie then hang him up by his undies on a coat hook in the boys locker room.
Here is what he said about music:
Pinker asserts that humans could do without music and undergo no significant loss in our capacity to function: “Compared with language, vision, social reasoning, and physical know-how,” Pinker states, “music could vanish from our species and the rest of our lifestyle would be virtually unchanged.<
lol what a joyless fuck
No wonder he was a frequent flyer with :epstein: . Creepy fuck could only derive pleasure from human suffering.
Kurtzman genuinely failed upwards with Star Trek. '09 was a generic action flick but it was cohesive for the most part, but Into Darkness is violent nonsense. Third one doesn't make much money and the film franchise is basically in development hell.
Then he essentially gets handed the entire franchise forever on TV where he makes violent nonsense that falls apart logically if you think about it for more than one second. There have been D&D campaigns made up on the spot with more narrative cohesion.
He also put magic curative blood as a plot point in two of his scripts, basically back to back. He's a hack.
It's like a bodycount of franchises wrecked by his smirking smug "reimaginings."
He directed People Like Us and the panned 2017 reboot The Mummy starring Tom Cruise and Sofia Boutella. He wrote Transformers 1 and 2, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Star Trek, The Island and Cowboys & Aliens. He also created the TV show Fringe.
lmao you mean the same The Island that got sued by the writers of Parts: The Clonus Horrror for plagiarism and won
Yeah, I knew about that.
He's a hack, an incredible hack, but from what I understand of show business, he is, quote, "easy to work with." In short, he's a suck-up that will do anything the suits ask of him and lick their footwear while he's at it.
That "popcorn" meme of his inspired some of the most insufferable SubRedditDrama edgelords for years.
