this is how i see it. do you know how when the orville came out, everyone was “hey, new star trek!”?
now imagine discovery gets the same treatment as orville. you change the names, united federation of planets become interstellar union, warp drive becomes super-duper-engine, you change the shape of the ships little bit.
how many people would look at that and say “hey, new star trek!”? i think not that many. it would be c-grade show on netflix no one would give a fuck about and wouldn’t be picked up for second season.
it is one thing if you do some minor stuff that may not be completely in line with the canon, and it is another if you are parasite who just hijacks the name of the franchise. and that’s what discovery and abram’s movies are.

Ok, fair enough. That actually makes me inclined to agree.
