I think JJ. is saying this things because he think now he would gain more money if he had reveled more about Ben Character being Khan. He lost audience and money he could attract with the Khan figure considering he had a twist anyway.

And Ben not agree with it because lately JJ. had been sorry for lens flares, now for the late revealing of Khan, is like he is sorry for been in the franchise at all. and make the sacrifice all the actors, producers, makeup artist and everyone involve in not tell like it was a stupid thing. So I think Ben is defending that, not only for him.

about the whole Khan thing I think the mistake was not making Ben simply John Harrison the prince augment of part Europe, making himself passing at Khan in order to make sure his leader was not used as he was been used.

I think that would had give the character more layers and more realistic, because he is not Montalban who was Mexican or any really Hindu person(like Khan must been).

They can save that part yet in the next movie, but i don't think they do.

and JJ. please do your other movie and stop saying stupid things abut what you already did! you made that decisions good or bad, they are out there, taking it back now make you seen bad!

yup, absolutely agreed!

i was hoping the real plot twist would be when Jim wakes up the real Khan sleeping in one of those torpedoes and he is then pissed off at Harrison for pretending to be him ;) .

Abrams lost money because the movie is a pile of crap, not because the reveal backfired. He should face up to that and stop pretending it was some kind of masterpiece.
