I really don't get why people have a problem with new Star Trek looking different to old Star Trek.
Like, I see it as similar to how a new videogame sequel might have a different level of graphical technology than a previous game in its canon, or how comic books pass through different artists and visual styles.
You can just let go of the visual differences, and account for them just being an artifact of the time the story was told in.
Like, do people really want SNW to look like TOS?
