Exactly so. One thing for me, more so than other franchises, is that Star Trek is an imagining of humanity's future. It isn't just its own separate thing, a world imagined outside of Earth. It is very much tied to current humanity, technological development and growth.
Thus, a re-imagining is inevitable, because humanity has grown in the past 50 years in technological know-how, understanding of science and capability.
I get it. People love the aesthetic of TOs and would like to see it. But, the aesthetic has always taken a back seat to moving forward with technological abilities. I know it's a worn out argument but I keep going back to it because it demonstrates the principle in action. Both TMP and TWOK demonstrated a moving forward of aesthetic, either uniform or ship, because more money was available to do so.
I might not agree with the design choices. The TMP uniforms are fairly ugly, aside from a couple of exceptions. I certainly would not have gone the way with the Discovery style uniforms. But, their mere existence doesn't automatically make it a problem.
), weak hull reinforcement equal to high-density graviton distortion fields far away from the hull, bulky hatches and small spartan rooms no different from thin and wide doors and large comfortable rooms, a thick and massive warp core just as thin as an actually thin warp core, polarized outer hull plating just the same as internal forcefields, Hoshi's translation work as non-existent, and Erickson's son as not tragically lost the way he was - and then I can find all of that insane.
