I've seen what happens when franchises go dark and take away all the humor. See Quantum of Suckatude and Terminator Salvation. It's not a pretty site.
Star Trek didn't go dark for its recent film and it revitalized the entire franchise.
One, the TERMINATOR franchise has always been dark. Always. I've recently watched all four movies. And by the way, although it wasn't a hit here in the U.S., it was a big hit overseas.
As for STAR TREK . . . I find it sad that a movie with such bad writing is responsible for the so-called revitalization of its franchise.
