“The way they defeated the aliens in Star Trek Beyond is unrealistic!”
For your convenience, here is a list of some other ways Star Trek villains have been defeated:
- By Kirk reciting the Declaration of Independence really passionately
- Kirk literally fighting himself
- Kirk fighting himself again (this time while Spock watched)
- Fat tribbles eating the problem away
- Dr. McCoy applying mortar to an acidic rock creature
- Spock mind-melding with a probe
- Literal whales
- The power of love defeating V’ger
- Spock killing Kirk instead of having sex (Kirk got better)
- An omnipotent being got his ass grounded by his parents
- By doing literally nothing and history happened the way it would have anyway (plus there was a cat who turned into a hot lady)
- The crew dressed up in suits and threatened to shoot gangsters
- Kirk explaining birth control to an overpopulated planet
- By making children cry
So you see, Beyond is actually well within the Star Trek tradition of ridiculousness.
