Message: <blockquote data-quote="squirk" data-source="post: 5270767" data-attributes="member: 127">I agree.  TCW very much grew with the audience, in terms of both maturity and complexity.  I'm not saying this is Shakespeare, but DF made me a believer.And yes, whatever shortcomings the PT had, GL came by them honestly.  It was his vision, through and through - no Iger, no Kennedy, no studio notes and no story group hemming him in - and I always admired the purity of that, even if the execution often fell short.I'm not sure I'd call the ST a non-honest failure (thought I 100% understand where you are coming from), but it very much felt like moviemaking by committee - with Iger, with Kennedy, with studio notes, all putting corporate "guard-rails" around the IP - and it didn't feel like Abrams had any passion or creative vision behind it.  Whether he never had passion for the IP in the first place, or if the passion got sucked away by the suits, is a conversation for another day.Say what you want about the PT, but you knew that GL had been thinking about that story for a very long time and really wanted to tell it.</blockquote>
