JJ, when the lens flared.
SeductiveTortoise, his fists clenched.

What director is that supposed to represent? JJ flares are horizontal, sometimes have multiple occurrences in a single frame, and often are accompanied by a briefly blown out image in case the viewer doesn't notice the insane distraction.

DISCO? SNW? SFA? I guess with concerted effort I can use context clues to figure it out but like, how often are you typing these things?

For better and worse, Discovery took a lot of cues from the Abrams films, being more action focused, with flashier effects and cinematography, for example.

It got toned down as time went on, but there were parts here and there in Discovery where you can tell they were trying to replicate the films.

He would probably announce a trilogy, spend the first movie setting up some mystery in Pandora's core and then would never follow up.
