Vulcan Society - Tumblr Posts

Back on to complain.

Watched the kelvin timeline/aos/2009/JJ Abrahams movies recently. I enjoyed them (not as much as the tos movies but that’s because they are my babies). However, the scene where little Spock is getting picked on and then punched in the face by the other vulcan child really pisses me off. Why? Well he started bleeding green from his very clearly pink/red lips. WHY COULDN’T THEY HAVE PUT EVEN A LITTLE BIT OF MAKEUP ON THE VULCANS?? (Obviously they probably are wearing makeup just not the right stuff but that just makes it worse so I’m ignoring it) I don’t want them to be like bright green or anything but their blood is copper based and is meant to be green. NONE OF THESE VULCANS SHOULD LOOK EVEN REMOTELY PINK TINGED. If they can smear Data silver in the 1990s and put makeup on the tos vulcans (not to mention Keenser who is literally in the same movies), why couldn’t they do it in 2009? Why are my vulcans even a little bit pink??? Their blood isn’t red at all man. Like was this meant to make them seem more attractive or some shit? It feels weird to me and makes the vulcans feel less interesting. This isn’t even mentioning the fact that the vulcans seem a lot less controlled. The vulcans are meant to be a cool society of people heavily different but no less interesting than us. Why are we making them seem more human?
