I honestly couldn't care less. ST:ENT has a lot of fan service, sometimes within canon, sometimes stretching it, in this case explaining something that didn't need an explanation but neither suffered from it. I don't see how it's revisionist but I haven't watched it in years.
Top left is the result of a failed enhancement virus whose cure left a large portion of the population without ridges. A weird means to explain the transition from TOS to TNG Klingons.
Well, it is the one where they spend entire episodes talking in a language nobody understands.
Also, if you want to film people speaking in a foreign (or "foreign") language, make sure that the actors are very well trained. Seeing characters speaking badly what is supposed to be their main language is a huge setback for most people, even if they have no idea how that language should actually sound. (And yes, people are really good at perceiving that.)

Had to remind myself who middle left was. Parell from DS9 s5e22 "Children of Time."
Weird how often someone's existence is simply erased in the various Trek timelines.
The actress who portrayed that character married the actor who played Duras, apparently.
Do bottom right and top right count? I mean, I'm pretty sure top right does, less sure about bottom right given the extent of procedures
Klingons of Theseus
I always fail these stupid captchas/philosophy questions 😭
They still count. Voq/Ash Tyler from DISCO is Klingon "at heart," just wildly altered and brainwashed.
What happened? Some kind of genetic engineering?
To quote Whorf: We don't discuss this with outsiders
That entire bit is one of my favorite scenes in all of Star Trek. It's so well cut in to the original episode footage, it's great.

That's not the right line.
Jaysus... 🫠
But clearly Discovery was the one with “wrong” Klingons… 🙄

I don't think that was the main problem for the majority of the push back.
