Certainly, but being amazed doesn't mean "impossible." I fail to see the issue with Kelvin ships being bigger.
USS Enterprise (eventually) on Discovery?

Certainly, but being amazed doesn't mean "impossible." I fail to see the issue with Kelvin ships being bigger.
The issue isn't that the ships are bigger. The problem was they are ridiculously bigger! And also, the VFX didn't match their size, at least in ST'09, since someone just dragged the model to be 2x the original scaling without adjusting the details.
To be honest, I'm OK with Discovery's upscaling of the ships, including the Enterprise, because I've always felt the 289m was too small for the interiors. But the Kelvin ships are almost twice as big as the DISC ships too!
Anyway, in the end, who cares. It's science fiction. Maybe 700m starships in 250 years won't be a surprise.
the kelvin timeline enterprise is 725 meters, the USS discovery is 750 meters.
I see nothing ridiculous about their sizing...again.
The Federation was facing down the threat of a massive Romulan ship invading their space. Sure, keep building ships the same size makes perfect sense.
the USS kelvin is 457 meters. the USS gagarin is 506 meters.
Except that is untrue. There is an enourmous thread about it somewhere where each and every detail is examined, from hull aztecing to airlocks...
The details aren't even the same things anymore. What used to be the light source for the registry (which shone at an impossible angle) became the bridge window, the sensor domes became observation domes, airlocks became trash exhauat hatches and escape pod launchers
... so insisting one is the wrong size for it's function makes no sense.
Ah, so you're an eaglemoss collector.
Says the guy who takes pot shots at a model built in the 60s and compares it to a CGI model with a million dollar budget from the 2000s.
Daniel, if the ship hadn't been so large to begin with the city wouldn't have been leveled.

I've commented that the neck and pylons are thin, the bridge an obvious target and overall shape silly, but I like the original Enterprise.
This Enterprise by Dan Uyeno, in Daniel Broadway's trailer is so similar to yet infinitely nicer to look at than the Discoprise, IMHO.

I did make that trailer, but Dan Uyeno designed and modeled that Enterprise.
Corrected.
I think they take the best of the Kelvin universe Enterprise nacelles and merge it with the old.
i think it's a great looking ship. she's clearly the kelvin enterprises' long lost sister.
