Well, that's just it -- I'm a fan of those works as well, and despite the rather controversial things each of them has done lately, in my experience none of them has ever faced such a monumental level of vitriol being directed at them on a daily basis.

It can certainly be argued that Harry Potter, Star Wars, Doctor Who and other fictional series have simply done a more tactful job at approaching and handling significant changes. The writers and producers on DSC sure seem to have been more \"our way or the highway\" about things, but regardless of their PR approach, there\'s no way a 2010s-era TV series would ever survive today being produced the way that TOS did back in the 1960s. Our culture and our standards have evolved too far for that.
I grew up watching TNG, [=DS9=], Voyager and Enterprise. Every new installment of Trek has made changes, and even if I don\'t necessarily agree with all of them or think they\'ve all been good ideas, at the end of the day, enjoyment is what\'s important and what needs to come before obsessing over minutiae.
So ships and uniforms look different on Discovery. Characterizations aren\'t entirely the same as what they used to be in past series. Things are DarkerAndEdgier and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Spock has an adopted sister]] we\'ve never heard about before. And yet, for all these surface-level changes, deeper down, the writers seem to have plenty of respect for the history and the universe-building that already exists in Star Trek -- but [[SarcasmMode oh no]], heaven forbid that storylines are serialized instead of episodic and things look different. Skewed priorities much?
If anybody needs a live-action demonstration of TheLawOfFanJackassery, I know where to send them ...
