Help This Pitch Come To Life

The Issue

The She-Ra finale gave me hope. Lots of it. That's why I'm doing this.

Spock and Kirk had serious romantic interaction in the original series. Analysis of the relationship supports the concept. It would impact not only the LGBTQIA+ community by displaying a unique situation, but it would change how we define love. It would incite fervent support, and it would stand out among the rest of the typical(and very boring) straight relationships commonly addressed on screen. If you wanted to put out media that would garner attention, then do this, let Kirk and Spock kiss, let it be meaningful, and depict it as normal. 

After all, Star Trek already has a rich queer legacy, amirite

Here's a pitch to the official sequel to Star Trek Beyond.

Whaddaya say, fellas? Give the gays all they want. 

Essentially, this is a team-up movie about how two very misfit people(Benedict Cumberbatch's Khan and Sofia Boutella's Jaylah, the co-stars of the movie) and three warring factions(the United Federation Of Planets, the Klingon Empire and the Romulan Star Empire) resolve their differences to become something truly remarkable. I wish you would use this, since it might sound selfish but this is the best way to show what infinite diversity in infinite combinations truly means.

I mean, just think about it!
2 mlw couples (Uhura/Scotty and Bones/Carol)
2 mlm couples (Kirk/Spock and the Sulus)
1 wlw couple (Jaylah/Charvanek; since Jaylah is one of the two co-stars, this is really important)
2 basically impossible couples(Keenser/Gaila, mentions of past Vengeance/Khan)

Can y'all imagine the impact of all those pairings put together, with Kirk/Spock at the epicenter? It will be awesome, but I cannot deny the controversy that it will bring by featuring prominent same-sex couples and odd, weird, unheard of and beyond interesting couples. (In fact, I'd love to rejoice in all that.)

But perhaps, the most controversial out of all those pairings might be Vengeance/Khan, since it's a man and a starship. And I've been wondering:Why didn't they put Marla McGivers in the movie? And why use an entirely different ship? Why not just bring the Reliant back? But then, suddenly it all made sense when I actually began to connect the dots. So I deduced, "A-ha! Having both Marla and the Reliant proved waaaay too difficult for them, so they just decided to combine the two!"

And since none of you actually came forward to confirm or deny anything, I decided to go straightforward with this one. Also there's the fact that I gave the Vengeance he/him pronouns to have /him/ stand out, so that essentially gives Vengeance/Khan an achillean vibe. There's also the issue of the Vengeance being destroyed, therefore depriving Khan of the love of his life. And since Kirk and Spock's roles were reversed in Into Darkness, it seemed only fitting that Spock be the one that tasks Khan in Monsters Unleashed since the whole deal is kind of a second remake of The Wrath Of Khan. But instead of going all Captain Ahab, Khan softens out while working with the Enterprise crew and learns that his own crew is safe and secure. Eventually, his wrath subsides, and he talks it all out with Spock, and with Kirk, and finally decides to come to terms with reality and continue to live on.

Finally, I wish with my whole heart for this idea to be accepted. If it does happen, then we can give the best gift to LGBTQIA+ Trekkies by holding up the biggest middle finger ever to all the PEOPLE who said "K/S ain't gonna be canon" and giving Hikaru & Ben Sulu time to shine. Also, my idea seems to embody various types of love(Khan's undying love for the USS Vengeance, Kirk and Spock harboring unspoken feelings for each other, Charvanek being torn between her duty and her feelings for the ever-innocent Jaylah, and Keenser having a crush on Gaila), but perhaps, the message I wish to deliver through Monsters Unleashed might be that of unity and reconciliation, considering how Kirk happily accepted Khan, the murderer of his foster father, into the gang and how the Federation races, the Klingons and the Romulans all enjoy the victory party together as one in the end. And through that, we all know that every single bit of hatred between the Enterprise crew and Khan is now all gone and the Federation and Klingons and Romulans really began to respect each other as allies, all thanks to them being united against a common foe. Although there's still some hard feelings left and even after he loses all intention to exact vengeance for his Vengeance on the Enterprise crew, Khan has to work REALLY hard to earn his redemption(with Jaylah assisting him through it all), but everything turns out fine in the end. Ain't it great? 

And if you fear no one will watch it, then worry not. A lot of Trekkies will flock to the theaters just to see how weird it is/to see Kirk/Spock finally canonized, which means you'll make a lot of money. 

Until then, live long and prosper.
