I do. Obviously I wasn't being subtle, just using the pictures to effectively convey the general idea. I don't think Spock actually looks like the 2nd picture either of course.
anyway T'Pring isn't that shallow.
Everything we've seen in Amok Time regarding T'Pring, including purposefully trying to get people killed, would indicate that she is. Admittedly SNW T'Pring seems to be a different character, but in the end she ultimately becomes TOS T'Pring so...
I find the thin guy cuter than the ugly neanderthal
No, she's not. In Amok Time she makes it clear that she chose Stonn both because of his close proximity to her as well as the fact that Spock had "become a legend." We see in Episode 1 of SNW that Spock is already torn between his duty to his betrothed and duty to Starfleet. This isn't just a matter of physical attraction but also that Stonn was readily available and meeting a need that Spock logically was not meeting.
or maybe SNW is overwriting TOS.
just my opinion.
just my opinion.
TOS is just a dramatization of Kirk's logs.

I gotta argue your interpretation again. Her decisions were not shallow. Not made merely because she wanted to be with a guy who's no more or less aesthetically pleasing than the guy she's engaged to. Even she pointed out she could have married Spock and still had her bit on the side. It was much deeper than that. And I'm super excited to find out how we go from where they started in SNW, to her trying to get to know his human side better, to her willing to risk her career and honor to save him, all the way to Amok Time and her ruthless logic, choosing the challenge and her unexpected champion. I mean, it's so juicy!
Not sure you get Spock. T'Pring, Stonn, Amok Time, Star Trek, Vulcans, humans...well, the list goes on.They say a picture is worth a thousand words so I'll let pictures convey what I think SNW should've gone for in regards to Stonn vs Spock.
Stonn:
Spock:
We know why T'Pring's relationship with Spock fails.
She's Vulcan through and through. Vulcan the planet, the people, come first for her. Vulcan traditions, customs, its way of life - and it's not something Spock shares. He's Starfleet. He's half-human. He will never be what she wants in a partner.

"I could never be the consort of a legend."
TOS T'Pring summed it up excellently. Spock by 2267 was a known name on Vulcan and T'Pring was tired of the drama. Stonn offered little or none. She logically opted for that kind of life and while what she did was savage and uncouth for humans it was just how Vulcans roll. Spock knew it. He didn't like it, but he accepted it because it was, in his own words, flawlessly logical thinking.

This thread now has me thinking of that meme about guys who are "Chads" and guys who are virgins, with Stonn as the Chad and Spock as the virgin.
T'Pring. Though the idea of T'Pau /Stonn is intriguing.

Muscles are no substitute for a perfectly landed double fist punch
I’m more into arm bars and wrist locks, but yeah, technical ability really is the way to go. Nothing is more satisfying than the look on the face of a roid-raged thumb head when he realizes that he’s all twisted up like a pretzel and has no idea how he got there.
