Here's a question for the Nerd Rage about "ripping off Wrath of Khan"
Was the Dark Knight a ripoff of Batman89?
I didn't think so.
I did have some nerd rage during the warp core sequence because it is so similar to TWOK with even the same lines being uttered by a different character. Why go over the same scene so exactly? I didn't like it but maybe I will get over it with repeat viewings.
EDIT: It doesn't help that I have seen TWOK dozens of times over 20 years.... ! I think TWOK did that scene better.
