Did Star Trek Strange New Worlds go too far with changing the Gorns? Let break down what they did with my favorite Star Trek aliens!Want to support the chann...
You know your alien design standards are low when you consider humanoids to be non-humanoid lol. I think Species 8472 is the first major non-humanoid species introduced.
When you have such a long-running franchise, it's OK to experiment with new designs. You don't need to make up an in-universe reason. That's dumb. If the new design is better, just use that and continue on like nothing happened. If it's worse, go back or try something else. Pretty simple... You don't need to fetishize The Canon.
Star Trek is camp, though - even compared to Star Wars. When 99% of the aliens are just humans with a prosthetic, more alien aliens can ruin the vibe.
I don't have any thoughts about how the Gorn are characterized.
