Thought: All the insanely hot people on #StrangeNewWorlds, the characters aren't nearly that hot by current mainstream beauty standards, that's just how they represent a future where people can find beauty in a wide variety of body types.

This thought is wildly not canon, but given how progressive that world is in other ways, the idea that
no traditionally ugly people get on the Enterprise is just less realistic than Q magic

Everybody being pretty I can ignore (Hollywood SOP) The part that's grinding my gears is that the crew of the enterprise, esp Kirk & co, while occasionally mavericks, were canonically professionals, top in their fields.

The #StrangeNewWords crew is...so very much Not That. Bad writing, random tropes, regurgitated TOS scripts—Dunno if the studio execs refuse to take #StarTrek seriously or what, but these people would be better placed on the Nostromo than Enterprise.
