Personally, I was 6. Hence my extreme love of the Original Jeffries' Enterprise.
BUT... young minds; fresh ideas- we must be tolerant.
It ALL has to do with TOS, just like we ALL have connections to our parents. All is one, and change is the essential process of all existence.
My Dad loves Jazz.
I love techno/industrial.
My Son will love something else.
IDIC.
JJprise is crap, but it's a reboot and its own thing and nothing to do with TOS.Question for those that care not for the remastered episodes:
Which is worse- CGIing Original Trek, or the JJPrise design?
How they remade the TOS f/x isn't a complet
e write-off, but it's botched.
That "crap" got a Writers Guild nomination, Producers Guild of America Award nom, National Board of Review award top 10, Producers Guild of America Awards nomination, Hugo nomination, ST's first Grammy and many others in every phase of production. You may not think its "Star Trek" but its a respected movie in the industry, with crtitics, and yes..most fans.
In fact, it IS an alternate history of TOS, but now the dominant one...TOS is another alternate history.

If you show the TOS-R episodes and TOS episodes to 100 people...98 of them will say TOS-R is better...doesn't matter if they are 6, 12, or 47 years old. Guaranteed.
RAMA
That's me on every ep!
But less chunky & more hair...
I would accept that as an axiom.

Are you saying the target group changes entirely just because the VFX are updated without doing ANY changes to the story and characters? This makes no sense.
And Brutal Strudel is right:
Little kids and young adults have always been the main target group of TOS.
Do those who object to the remastered versions do so because they don't like the quality of the remastered and think they could have done a better job or do they simply object to TOS being touched at all and feel the original effects are crucial to their enjoyment of it?

For me, it's the first. But even if it was done right, the originals should always remain intact and available.
The JJverse may be considered the dominant one, but not in my mind, and a few others.
I think the TOS-R intent was well meaning but did not get implemented correctly.

Awesome!
As far as I'm concerned, the JJverse has as much to do with TOS as Burton's Batman films have to with the Batman of Nolan's films and either has to with the Batman of DC continuity, the fig leaves of Nimoy's Spock Prime and a throwaway Porthos gag notwithstanding. I think of the movie as a really awesome Gold Key Comics version of Star Trek and that lets me enjoy the holy living fuck out of it. I heartily recommend that approach to the so-called haters out there. Looked at that way, it's a blast.
Brutal, you rutal!!
I'm a stinkah!
