TOS purist fans, what do you think of this scene from Star Trek Beyond

I know what Spock thought of it...
"Those future uniforms look swank."
They really aren’t the same individual the moment they meet. Meeting and getting to know your older self is likely to completely change your worldview.
Or olive oil strangely.
More on topic, I do not understand the pushback against this moment. It was Spock mourning the passing of both a mentor, a fellow Vulcan, as well as himself. Whatever one thinks of the Kelvin films themselves Spock Prime had a huge part of it, and an impact on his alternate self. It's a beautiful moment both inside the world and in a meta way as a long time TOS fan.
"Put aside logic. Do what feels right." You're right, Spock. And so I cry for missing Nimoy.
Marilyn Chambers approves.
Not really. Spock-Prime was Spock's older self from an alternate timeline, who he had met in the flesh and had a personal relationship with.
So, yes, in a world where time-travel and alternate realties exist, one could reasonably mourn an alternate version of yourself whom you knew personally and had grown close to.
Just as you would miss anyone who was part of your life and who you would never be able to see or talk to again.
Not that any of us are likely to ever encounter such a situation in real life.
My take: Hey, William Shatner finally made an appearance in a JJ Abrams' Star Trek film.
Trek's had bad movies before. I just hold out for the next one and keep my fingers crossed it'll be better.
It's a movie. They didn't vandalize anything. If the original still exists, intact and undamaged, then there is no loss.
Dude, SPOILERS!!!So, yes, in a world where time-travel and alternate realties exist, one could reasonably mourn an alternate version of yourself whom you knew personally and had grown close to.

And already encountered with Spock in the TAS episode "Yesteryear".
Sorry that was incorrect. But thanks for playing. So you don't go home empty handed, here's a copy of the home game.
And Rice-A-Roni!
And some Mitch McConnell Wax.
