Discovering [Star Trek] on Netflix

Not saying he can't do something good with Star Trek, just that I would never have picked him to do something with Trek. And that he's far from a death sentence for the franchise, given some of the truly turdmendously bad stuff that's been done with it.
But considering the wildly inconsistent quality of the franchise, I'd bet Paramount would let any filmmaker known for making money take a swing at the series. They don't give a shit about the quality, they just want the money. I don't know much about Tarantino's interests, but I'd bet that at least he has some personal liking for Trek and that he pursued the chance himself, which is something positive.
Even more bonus points if they get McAvoy in there to be Mirror Universe Picard.
That's not necessarily what happens with every director. The same director of Book of Henry gave us Jurassic World.
Very true, but in this case we already know Tarantino is actually talented.
He is talented, but this is something else entirely outside his signature style. Either way it'll be entertaining.

Paramount is a separate company from CBS now and doesn't have any particular stake in Discovery
The first seasons of TNG, DS9, Voyager, and Enterprise were all controversial if not outright derided. Fan opinion didn't really solidify until the third or fourth season on all but Enterprise.
That said, the only way I want to see the TNG crew again is if they finally do a Q movie. I'll never understand how we got "hippie immortal luddites" and "literally an evil clone" before we got Q in a movie.

Then again, the Emoji Movie was good enough for Patrick Stewart...
Unfortunately they were on the right track with Beyond, but Into Darkness thwarted their attempt at soft rebooting the franchise.
Beyond came after Into Darkness. And I agree, it's on a much better track.
phasers create lots of gore, 20 minute long conversations about the prime directive with witty dialogue, an extended close up camera shot of a female ensign's bare feet
sure why not
Wait, we're involving Joss Whedon now too?
I think what he means is that Beyond underperformed because people were expecting a bucket of warm dog vomit like Into Darkness.
And Beyond had Scotty's "stick in a bundle" line.
Which, honestly, if the whole movie was just opening credits>that scene>end credits, it would have been a better, less nonsensical Trek movie than Into Darkness.

it felt more like a star trek adventure to me than about half of the original 10 movies
The trailer really didn't help it there.
Sure, you could do that. But why?
I don't know. Why does the thread do it every time someone doesn't like something in Discovery?
I also really enjoyed hearing my mother audibly sigh and roll her eyes with the tiny tiny bit of gay rep in the film so that was worth it as well
Because it's tiresome hearing "this has never been done in Star Trek" when it has, and I'm perfectly certain you knew that already.
Also: the universal translator introduced in the episode is obviously the series' new MVP. I didn't mind the subtitles, but I definitely minded the actors playing Klingons struggling to make their scenes dramatically interesting while fighting the prosthetics/language combo.

It was this close to being directed by Orci.
Written AND directed by Orci, no less. Close call with that dark future timeline.
