I would have liked to see that movie.

[nyxelestia]

This is a good point, and one I wish the movie ran with.

Because from what I remember, TOS had these guys as all being the best in their fields and with extensive careers under their belts by the time they came together on the Enterprise.

I wouldn't have minded them being total screw-ups in this movie, if it had really gone for a "before they were famous"/"before the legend" angle. It would have been fantastic to see them go from being total screw-ups who do stupid things like sleep with superiors, hack databases, and violate medical ethics, to the highly-competent and well-trained people we've seen in the show, especially if it went with a "screw-ups but also geniuses" attitude.

Not only did the movie not go that route, but it played them off as already being the good Starfleet officers we see in the movie, but without any career or much training to back that up. It takes their imperfections and instead of analyzing, deconstructing, or otherwise utilizing them as flaws, the movie tries to legitimize them or dismiss them outright.

I would love for the movie being about Spock learning to control his latent rage into the serene calm from TOS, watching Uhura going from someone who sleeps with superiors to standing in her own right and maintaining professionalism despite awkward pasts, and I would definitely have loved to see Kirk go from being a wild child for the sake of it to learning how to follow the rules unless they are actively wrong. And seeing Pike come to regret his referral, only to be proven wrong/right-all-along, would have been a fantastic story-arc.

Instead, we got STID.
