Summary of ""KURTZMAN FINISHED" Paramount To ERASE Entire Woke Star Trek Era In SHOCK Hard Reset"
Short version
The video claims Paramount/Skydance plans a total “hard reset” of Star Trek — erasing the entire Alex Kurtzman era and rebooting the franchise with Simon Kinberg in charge. A new trilogy called Star Trek: Origins (set after Enterprise, before TOS) is said to be targeted for Christmas 2027 / early 2028.
Main plot (what the video says happened or is planned)
- Paramount’s new owners (Skydance / David Ellison) allegedly view Kurtzman’s decade of Trek as a liability and intend to remove it from franchise continuity.
- Simon Kinberg (producer associated with X‑Men, Deadpool, Logan) is reportedly hired to architect a fresh start: three mapped-out movies internally titled “Star Trek Origins.”
- The trilogy would ignore Kurtzman-era plots, characters, and events (examples cited: Discovery’s jump to the 32nd century, Picard’s Romulan supernova, Section 31 mythology, Picard S3 Borg twist, Starfleet Academy).
- Corporate “year zero”: the plan is described as a deliberate purge of the past decade of canon.
- Paramount allegedly refuses to negotiate with Kurtzman’s Secret Hideout for rights to those creations and would rather walk away from a decade of material than pay for it.
- Production reportedly moving away from Secret Hideout in Santa Monica to Pinewood / Toronto (cheaper sets and physically away from Kurtzman), framed as a deliberate “divorce.”
- Even Strange New Worlds — a fan favorite — might be excluded from the new film continuity because it bears Secret Hideout’s fingerprint.
- Target timeline: Kurtzman’s contract ends at year’s end; the first Kinberg film aims for late 2027 / early 2028.
Highlights, jokes and memorable lines from the video
-
The narrator frames the plan as an “execution” and uses the dramatic metaphor of a
“year zero” purge (compares it to totalitarian deletes of the past).
-
Kinberg is repeatedly billed as “the Deadpool guy / the X‑Men guy,” presented as the opposite of Kurtzman (hits vs. alleged cancellations).
- The video mocks Kurtzman’s track record: “If he was a baseball player, he would have been cut,” citing recent cancellations as evidence.
- Comic bit: a recent Kurtzman interview is characterized as rambling — “10,000 hoses,” repeated “support” four times — making him sound like “a man pretending everything’s fine.”
- The narrator treats the rumor-mill origin like a cinematic leak unfolding (Tachyon Pulse Podcast → trade outlets confirming fragments).
Key reactions and tone
- The video is celebratory toward the idea of a reset, claiming it will restore the classic Star Trek feeling (“the thing they used to feel when they watched The Wrath of Khan”).
- It presents the plan as corporate and cold but ultimately good for fans: a way to salvage the brand and make money again.
- The narrator urges fans to pick what to erase first (Discovery, Picard, Section 31, etc.) and invites viewers to follow the channel for breaking news.
Sources and evidence cited in the video
- Insider leaks originating with the Tachyon Pulse Podcast, followed by fragments or confirmations reported by The Hollywood Reporter, Variety, and Puck News.
- Reports of hiring and briefings with Simon Kinberg, internal memos labeling it a “hard reset,” and production moves (Santa Monica → Pinewood / Toronto) presented as corroborating signs.
- The claims are presented as leaks and industry rumors rather than officially confirmed announcements.
What would change on-screen (if true)
- New films set in a largely unexplored period (post‑Enterprise, pre‑TOS) with new characters, ships, and conflicts.
- Decanonization of Kurtzman-era elements (Discovery, Picard, Section 31, Starfleet Academy, possibly Strange New Worlds).
- A break in franchise continuity intended to reorient Star Trek toward broader mainstream appeal.
