Because Prime universe is the best universe
Discovery Size Argument™ thread

I don't think "is it worth it" is a valid question
If it could be done, it would have been done already, whether it was worth it or not.And I don't know if anyone truly hates Discovery, not in the same way that morons hate TLJ (they once that are collecting money to "fix" it)
Hating anything is definitely "not worth it". Trying to make all the different timelines/universes fit, is kinda fun, even if ultimately futile.
So you allow for there to be more than one if it is the Best.
I don’t have to allow anything.So you allow for there to be more than one if it is the Best.
Alternate realities have existed since TOS
And STD is one of them
I know I know, circular argument. I am done for the day. About to start binge watching Stranger Things Season 2, see ya all tomorrow
Best as it was in TOS or best as it is now in DSC?
Considering they're both in the same universe, both of them.
So the visual reboot made the best better? Or are they both equally the best and the visual reboot was pointless because the prime universe was already the best?
I'm not talking about the visuals.
Ah ok. Sorry I’m being awkward for the sake of debate
The visuals are part of the universe though aren’t they? Insofar as the universe cant exist without the visuals or else we’d have nothing to look at?
But but... "Regeneration" directly ties into FC, and Generations to the classic movies so there's crossover and it's like... which branches connect to what? It's a total clusterfuck. The ENT producers said it was an altered timeline in one interview, then made direct TOS prequels which contradict that. The guys behind the first two Kelvin movies say the timeline split in 2233, the guy behind the third says the dawn of time.Well, I figure all of that stuff happens in the Enterprise Universe, which is completely different from Prime. Does it make it easier to explain?
And I am not touching VOY with a 10 foot pole
Here's what I ended up with:
Let's merge it with the Enterprise on Discovery thread. They cover a lot of the same ground, and a lot of the same off-topic ground too
Here, I'll throw some fuel onto the fire
By Doug Drexler's scale, I mean his MSD, which IIRC is scaled to the TOS set height.
Noice!
Count me firm in the camp that says the TOS Enterprise was always heavily underscaled with it's (unofficial) length - Doug Drexler's scale really is the minimal possible scale, probably even a bit larger.
So for me, I not just hope that the Discoprise is scaled up accordingly to fit better with the size of the Discovery - NO, I want the Discoprise length (~450m) to slowly become accepted as the official length the original Enterprise always had!
Everything else always made no sense, and the ridiculous 289m were simply only ever repeated as often because changing the scale on all (non-canon) works would be a pain in the ass - but NOW is the chance to correct that original mistake, and get much more real!
Hell, the original show itself only really works with the bigger scale. They just never changed it in the supplementary mterial out of laziness and the discussion it would create.
Now, they HAVE to! And boy, do I hope they do!
I'm fine with the changes they have made, it's somewhat necessary considering times have changed.
It's like playing skyrim and then saying "oh this isnt cannon" cos solstheim is slightly different size and shspe to what it was in Morrowind.
I think discovery has been a lot more respectful than JJverse
