NuSpock calls OldSpock and asks "Dude, how did you beat Khan in the other movie?" 

Did that make anyone happy?


I'm on record as enjoying the new movies. I'm also on record as literally throwing my hat to the ground in frustration at that scene in the IMAX theater.

 Yeah by that point I had pretty much given up on the movie but even i felt bad for the new cast when I saw that scene. Out loud I said "Really Paramount, Can't you let these guys stand on their own?!" that was just so cheap.  Oh and how does Spock know Khan is bad in this universe any way?  I mean in the prime universe he was never pure evil before he went insane and in the AU Khan's main goal seemed to be to just save his people and destroy the weapons he had been forced to build, that is not really the height of evil and even if Khan is pure evil he is clearly a completely different person and thinks in a completely different way so what would make either Spock think that any advice old Spock would have to give could be of any help?

Not only is the scene rude to the new cast but it doesn't make any sense in the story. Thank goodness the guy who wrote it isn't writing the next movie.
