“Let’s see you do any better” is such a nonsense retort. People don’t have to produce better output in order to have a valid opinion. I don’t have to be able to sing well in order to tell when someone else is singing badly.
You seem to have missed my point. It doesn’t matter if the fans can come up with better ideas or not. Their opinion is 100% valid even if the fan can’t create anything better.
Also, it’s almost definitely not an actual invitation for fans to submit ideas. It’s very well known that for legal reasons writers aren’t allowed to read fan ideas because then everything the writer writes in the future would be ripe for plagiarism lawsuits
No. I really didn’t. You missed his. The only thing you’ve quoted so far is the line in the headline. Let me quote the entire chunk of text.
“I see fans who say, ‘We own the IP. We own the property because we’ve watched it for so many years.’ Which is kind of not really true. The property is kind of owned by the studio, and the studio decides to invest in a particular pitch and a writer. And if you can do better, then I encourage any Star Trek fan that has a vision for Star Trek in the future — by golly, come to Hollywood, go in and pitch CBS Paramount with your vision for Star Trek, and definitely write a part for me. That’s all. That’s my best advice.”
As demonstrated… no. It is not a “nonsense retort”.

You’d have a point if he didn’t literally invite people to send in pitches for stuff they want to see. It wasn’t a dismissal, it was a challenge.
