This movie was not for you!

Is something I keep reading and apparently now even one of the actors more or less stated it.
Honest question;
Who was it for? If it wasn't for Trek fans, was it for viewers who don't know Trek?
If so, why skin it as a Trek movie and not just make a regular action sci-fi?
Was it for people who don't know Trek and the goal is to get them interested in Trek?
If that is the case, how do we imagine getting people interested in Trek with a low budget movie that seemingly has very little to do with Trek?
Also why do we think that new generations of viewers and sciFi fans need something very generic and copy paste from Marvel to get into Trek? Do we have so little left in Star Trek as a lore and IP and what it was about?

IDK, but it seems to me that people who argue "It was not for you" towards the fandom like Mr Kazinsky for example did, more use that line as an excuse to explain the obvious shortcomings of the movie and why it was so badly received as a movie period not just as a Star Trek movie.

Yes fandoms, Star Trek included, are always difficult to please. Especially everyone in it. There will always be resistance to change in some corners and personally attacking producers or actors of new Star Trek movies or shows is completely wrong.

However, Section 31 did not fail because of the fandom or because the fandom just wants TNG (what a nonsense take) it failed because it was objectively not a good movie as so determined by the majority of critics AND fans alike.
Disco has may critics but check the scores on that. imdb still has it at a respectable 7.0.
