Roberto Orci : The Amazing Spider-man 2, Star Trek into Darkness, Transformers, Mission Impossible 3. Luckily they've shuffled him off to TV doing the Scorpion and Hawaii Five-0, but for a while they kept giving him major franchises, where he would bring the franchise to a screeching halt.
Rian Johnson : Star Wars.... it's still too fresh, can't talk about it.
Alex Kurtzmann : co-written everything Orci did. It actually took two of them. Plus the Mummy and Star Trek Discovery. Now they are giving him Bride of Frankenstein, when the original was so incredibly good. He will ruin that, and he's the head of the whole WB Monsters Universe. He did the Mummy Cruise.
These three have screwed up soooo badly, and keep getting hired on for new projects, that you just know are going to be badly done. Literally a guy off the street can do a better job, but these three get credit for box office return, as if they were the reason people go to see a Star Wars film, or a Star Trek movie.
If you have a character or series that you love and grew up with, and then one of these three get their hands on it, it will be made to crap. It's very frustrating that they continue to exist.
I will be interested in this thread later to see if there were a litany of missed opportunities in the Picard show, or if it's the unicorn that sidestepped Kurtzmann's horrible ideas.
