Re: The Reboots Improved Literally One Thing

[(Anonymous)]

Maybe because "I'm Chaotic Good, dammit" was classic McCoy's schtick, so it fit what the audience expected off a younger, less responsible version of that character. And, it happens early enough in the movie that some viewers hadn't realized that everyone is Chaotic now (because that's darker and edgier), so McCoy was given the benefit of the doubt.

I can see that. I think people might also give McCoy a pass because the movie clearly doesn't try to hide that he's breaking regulations. Whereas with the Spock and Uhura scene, since we don't know that they're a couple when it happens, it does strike the viewer as INCREDIBLY disrespectful on Uhura's part at first glance. I think this does explain why so many people are so hung up on it. I just wish that they would re-evaluate the scene with the relationship in mind because I think that makes it clear that Spock is the one who should be catching the fandom's flak rather than Uhura.

Oh, if Spock's and Uhura's roles were reversed, the flak would be thrown in the right direction (Uhura's, in that case.) Uhura usually catches the flak in all scenarios because she is either the Woman In The Way or Letting Down Team Minority, depending on what fandom spectrum the complainers come from. Straight-up series purists tend to be equally annoyed at everyone for everything. :)

My flack has always been mostly directed at the writers and directors for thinking that scene was okay in any way. But it also made me think more 'ew Spock you are gross don't date students' than anything about Uhura.
