STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS Writer Damon Lindelof Apologises For Carol Marcus Underwear Scene

How many female Star Trek fans are there to piss off anyway? This is a 98% male franchise, of course we appreciate hot women in this, there was no need for an apology

@Hellsing she looked hot, her job was to look hot and she did that marvelously

This is why WB better not put Wonder Woman in a star-spangled bikini, you wont sell it to women or children....

Only 13 year old boys...and men with a 13 year old mentality will watch.

@CavEl
I'm all for Wonder Woman in a two-piece

Look, I have no problem with seeing a gorgeous half naked woman in a movie, but the scene WAS completely out of place and made no frackin sense. If they wanted to show Eve in her undies, great..stick a love scene in there between her and Kirk, or have him walk in on her unexpectedly as she's changing (even that would have been gratuitous but at least made a bit more sense).

Why in the hell is it that other women complain about something like this? I don't complain every time I see a guy on-screen in his undies and shirtless. She was in the middle of changing her outfit and asked Kirk to turn around as to not see her. He looked because he's a pervy man (but who isn't? :P), that's what he saw. Were women expecting that it was going to be an oiled-up Channing Tatum instead? Jeez...

Get the hell over it, people. There are more important things in the world than a woman in her bra and panties in a [frick]ing movie.

it just seemed like it was just shot for the trailer, as to maybe conjure some Fast and Furious fans.

"Sorry for showing a beautiful woman in her underwear to comical effect, that was our bad."

I [frick]ing hate this planet sometimes.

She needs less clothes on not more, same for spock.

Okay, not that I don't like seeing Alice Eve in her underwear (damn, do I ever), but seriously, they likely could and probably should have made a "look, it's Alice Eve in her undies" scene that had ANY purpose at all besides presenting her body.

There is gratuitous and then there's gratuitous and lazy. ;)

Yeah it was random but so what? I don't hear women seeing anything wrong with Kirk being in his underwear. Some people complain at anything. Just enjoy the movie, that scene only lasted a few seconds.

@Moohika - You obviously never been to a Star Trek Convention in your life, women Trekkies make up at least 30/40% the attendance. I was at the recent Destination UK convention and out of the 5 of us that went, 2 were female.



Stripping to underwear for no reason in this Star Trek is not surprising because this isn't Star Trek. Its just action movie template crap to pull in non Star Trek fan. Your average action movie viewer gets bored if there isn't a fight, a one-liner, a joke, an explosion, a sex scene or at least some gratuitous unclothing like this every 5-10 minutes of a movie. These guys are just playing the numbers.

You can count on one finger the amount of times a main character stripped for no reason but to please a neanderthal crowd in ST:TNG. Real Star Trek is supposed to be lot more intelligently written an purposely driven than his crap they've regressed to doing for easy money. Lindelof knows, and that's why he's apologizing for selling out the integrity.

And Carol Marcus was never a Star Fleet officer. She was an independent scientist who's research like many others was part funded by Star Fleet, retard writers!

Rofl. [frick] the stupid feminazis and overly PC pussies.

Pathetic.

Did George Lucas apologize when he showed Leia in metal bikini ?

@TheDickRises: there was a logical reason there ("Jabba is a pervert"), but here?

making a big deal out of nothing..

Also I found this scene in the movie incredibly random, and a little annoying. I'm glad he apologized for it. I have no problem with nudity in films when it fits, but when something like this is in there for the sole reason of giving 13 year old boys erections, and holds no narrative value, it mildly irritates me.

We should be use to these shenanagins. For year feminist have complained about the depiction of women in comics. We hear things like"why are all the women in comics six foot, busty, and in a bikini" and "not all women are built like models". I think they skipped the first hundred pages of all the men built like gods, running around in spandex and underwear. If they want to talk about personalities and other real problems with female comic characters, I'm all for it. As soon as they get into the way they dress or look, I have to tune them out. Sex sells and there is nothing wrong with that. It is just the way it is.

Its funny how people let their kids watch all the violence in the world, and then get up in arms when a breast pops out at the superbowl. It's funny how I see kids in a r rated movie with their parents and anorld wielding a shotgun blowing people away is fine, but cover there kids eye when the sex scene pops up. So worried about your thirteen year old [frick]ing, but not that hes in his room beating hookers with baseball bats in GTA. Then you wonder why when he turned sixteen he murdered his whole class, when he should have been out chasing tail.
