I don't think it's 100% fair to blame a director when you're dealing with a massive franchise with countless moving parts.

It is when he is also the lead writer who owns the production studio doing all the work.

In fact, its 100% fair to blame him. Hell we should probably blame him more.

yeah tbh I didn't mind Flare Trek 1, and felt strongly he would be a good hand for a Star Wars sequel from it, but I def felt it was a JJ joint

Abrams has a habit of starting movies before the script is done. He's everything wrong with modern Hollywood.

If Majel were some Spanish name, it'd be something like "mah-hel"... 🤔

Anyway in katakana it's メイジェル, so I guess it's "may-gel" in English.

yeah def may-jell
tbh I should use katakana more often
I'm not sure if that's a statement about me or all the different batshit attempts at roman-ish phonetics

English spelling should be consistent, like Italian or Spanish.

Instead, English pronunciation works sort of like "Calvinball".

Its one of those strange lingual quirks where western languages have very specific spelling for words, but the enunciation is all over the place. While Eastern languages have very specific enunciations for words, but the spelling is all over the place.

Nah, that's just space computer magic*universal translators. Computers think everything sounds best in Good Ole Mid-Western American English. The Language of Jesus and Mickey Mouse. Even the Tamarians spoke it, for fuck's sake.

Shaka, and the walls fell, indeed.

At least the babel* fish was explained beyond "computer magic..."

*Also, quantum immortality would be kinda neat, at least until you turned into Wowbanger. BBC Radio, not the books.

To be fair, Starfleet has always primarily operated from the US of A, and the Universal Translator was implied to have been a Starfleet invention, so...
