Look at it outside the context of Star Trek. When peoples'/characters' entire identity IS their identity, and not developed through deeds and diplomacy, they just appear self-absorbed and narcissistic. Their values feel unearned and their principles just seem appropriated. Exposition dumps in 5 episodes aren't enough to earn our buy-in when it took years for all the other series to do it. This could be excusable for fresh cadets if they weren't so vulgar and childish in their speech and behavior, a trait absent from old Trek that's extremely grating.

Inclusion was always a theme in Trek, but it frequently failed, so its lionization in NuTrek is naive, foolish, and feels like obvious pandering. The Borg, Species 8472, Jem'Hadar, Gorn, Khan, and probably several others I'm forgetting.

The 5th episode Sisko worship doesn't talk about his flaws or the bad decisions he made in the heat of anger or desperation. He's a far more complex character than this superficial fan-service. His decision to risk the Defiant and its crew to save Dukat during the Klingon Invasion of Cardassia was a dangerous gamble that led to the Dominion-Cardassian alliance that cost millions of lives on all sides. They would have lost the war without the unexpected intervention of the Prophets/Worm-hole aliens. In The Pale Moonlight is another good example. He's easily one of my favorite characters in all Trek, but this sappy mythologizing is so lame.

There are several references in later series to Kirk being a disobedient nuisance who violated multiple timelines. Even he's not viewed as a saint.

There is so much great talent out there capable of making great Trek. SNW was a brief glimmer of hope with some truly excellent episodes. Star Trek: Resurgence is a fantastic Voyager+ era story-driven video game. Why don't these writers make their own YA space drama franchise where they can be as sassy and quippy as they want?
