You guys noticed the word SPOILERS in the title - right?
Right?
No, it's not going to give people clues, I kept it as vague as I possible... Ahh! Fuck it! Let me just get on with it.
Anyways, massive spoilers AHOY!
So, Khan... now if you read into the history of Star Trek, you'd find that Khan was suppose to be from India. Now even though Ricardo Montalbán wasn't exactly that either - and some might even call that Latinwashing (as stupid as that would sound) - it's no where near as annoying as it was seeing an English actor run around with the part; no matter how good his performance was.
So, I guess the question is, did it take you out of the movie (it sorta did with me), or would you give it a pass?
Now I'm not going to go so far as to call anyone racist; the production team, JJ Abrams... no I'm not going to do that. But was Benedict Cumberbatch really their best choice? I mean, didn't JJ Abrams do his homework when it came to Khan? I mean his full name is Khan Noonien Singh, wasn't that a clue in enough? Anyways, I regress, what do you guys think?
