I'd personally prefer that to the tone Discovery took

That was my thought, I'm quite up for this. I enjoyed The Voyage Home, I enjoyed The Trouble with Tribbles - I wouldn't want all Trek to be like that but there is absolutely a place in the franchise for light-hearted takes on Trek.

I have nothing wrong with lighthearted takes on Trek, but choosing to make the movie about "fascist space emperor joins the CIA" lighthearted seems like a dubious choice. I guess we'll see how they portray it but given how Trek has handled S31 so far, I don't want to get my hopes up.
