The age-bracket mismatch with Thomas Jane is glaring. Casting a 56-year-old to play McCoy a decade before TOS when Kelley was playing him closer to mid-40s creates a timeline compression problem that compounds with each prequel. The continuity flexibility you're describing tracks with most modern franchise management where momentary fan servicetakes precedence over internal coherence. Had similar frustrations with how Scotty showed up way too early. Once you start bending established chronology for roster completeness, the shared universe starts feeling less like a timeline and more like a highlight reel.
Is the new actor playing Sulu a preening butt pirate who has coasted for years on one lame "Oh my..." catchphrase?
Strange new worlds has always been trash

I don't watch any Kurtzmannnn.
He has demonstrated consistently that his "vision" is one of destruction.
Same for Abrams.
I’m praying for Thomas Jane, that he makes it out of Alex Kurtzman’s tyranny.
