Your own post belies the problem: It's not about the looks...
We know looks always change over time, even in ENT. People didn't stop people from laughing at most of its content.
The fast majority of the posts are about the looks. About the lighting, the shape of Discovery, the shape of the Enterprise, the shape of all Starfleet vessels, how the Klingon ships don't line up, how the Klingon make up doesn't line up, how holograms don't make sense in universe, how Spock looks (a beard!), how the Terran Empire looks, how Mudd looks. On and on.
If content is the problem then why is surface level details the first complaints I read in most of the threads?
Is there... a light sabre bat'leth in the trailer??
Probably a pain inflicting device used in some ritual, because that's how Klingons roll.
which ship in which cave?
At the very begining you can see a crashed ship as the camera pans over a hill.
It's probably the Hiawatha

Ah cool, thank you. Don't know how i missed this.
ORLY? Is that why the Pilot episode pretty much featured a more mature 'Squire Trelaine' (see TOS - "Squire of Gothos"); and the FIRST regular episode was a 100% remake of TOS - "The Naked Time""?
Also, remember that GR wanted to do MORE outright TOS script remakes; but the fan (and Press) backlash to "The Naked Now" was so severe, Paramount Execs said "No more TOS remakes...do original scripts..."
Seems some people forget just how TNG started.

With all this focus on angels, I keep thinking about the fact that Spock had Chagal's "Adam and Eve Expelled from Paradise" hanging in his quarters in TUC. I always felt it was a bit out of place but after this season, we might see that painting and scene in a new (retconned) light.

Not encouraged by the storyline of "Spock and others have visions of angels." Seems hackneyed and too reminiscent of evangelical entertainment. I'm further alarmed by the fact that the show hired Vaun Wilmott, creator of a series about a war between the archangel Gabriel and the archangel Michael. This season was set up, in part, by the fired Aaron Harberts, who said he wanted to explore the theme of "faith vs. science." Harberts also described himself as an "Iowa-born son of a preacher."
Now, of course Star Trek can explore themes of faith and religion. Deep Space Nine did so admirably. But I've seen nothing from Discovery's writers/producers that leads me to think they can handle this complex and potentially problematical subject admirably, especially given their penchant for action, melodrama, and shallow twists.

It's been like this forever. You'll never be able to make everyone happy.
Agreed. And hopefully they don't TRY to make everyone happy. That's usually the worst course of action. Just tell your story with your themes and tones. Don't chase the pie-in-the-Sky of making "the fans" happy, because it's unachievable.
