well, well, well, you could be my fandom soul mate lol , though we have too many differences in shipping, but I can see most of your point. forgive my poor language, i have dyslexia  so I i write crappy,
first let me just say that yeah, I get your take on x-men, i love x-men and read most of the comics. You are right Angel was gorgeous. he was rich, fine and a ladies man. he and Gambit were the hottest and sexiest guys in x-men and in the fandom there wers debate of who were the hottest couple Angel/Psycloke or Rogue/Gambit. In the series when Warren moved on to Paige Guthrie which was controversial, her first attraction to Angel was that he was a very fine good looking man. Angel was hot. I use to have a crush on Cable (Nathan Summers) growing up. he was my fav.
I think X-Men 3 went for Ben Foster   because he was not in the leading role  but a supporting role, if Angel  had been a main character they may have cast a Brad Pitt look alike. Although I find Ben kind of cute. i will not have cast him as Angel. infact  one of the reason i am happy we never got a gambit movie was because i hated the idea of  Channing Tatum as Gambit.   Gambit was a sexy handsome charming and alluring fine cajun, Channing aint that. so no i wont cast him either. this is how i feel about ceelia gooding.
 She is quite avergae outside the  star trek hair and make up, I even think with the right hair styling and a good amount of weight loss on the face, she could be as cute as Jess Bush but she is no Uhura. I even found zoe saldana too skinny as uhura but at least, she was feminine enough and had a gorgeous face with sex appeal and also in the same age group as Pine and Quinto. 
Ceelia is way too young for the role, she is 22 while most of the actors in snw are in the 30s. This is just another proof they downplayed uhura in snw so she will not be a threat to Chapel. they should not have screwed with an iconic black character that way. pair chapel with spock, keep uhura as she is in tos with a more believable younger actress of Nichols.
star trek or x-men are fiction  and fiction sells fantasy. one of the reason K/S was huge is because girls were turned on by Nimoy and Shatner been so into eachother even as friends or that fight they had in Amok Time. It helped both men were handosme in their own ways. girls always find two hot guys been devoted to eachother as a deeper thing than just friends. I get that as a S/U shipper.
We also cannot pretend nichelle nichols been a good looking woman with a very sexy body was not part of the reason uhura became famous in the 1960s. it was not only because there was a black female character who was not a maid or a slave girl on tv, but also she was very beautiful and had male gaze. that was rare for black women in mainstream america or in other words white america during the 1960s.
SNW removed  the male gaze from Uhura because they did not want anyone to code her as a love interest who will be another potential het pairing choice from tpring or chapel. they were that insecure they had to ugly up uhura and down play her age. to me that is just a no no.
As a person who is many fandoms, trek, star wars, buffy, x-men.  I welcome all shipping pairing to be explored as long as the characters are respected and uhura has been direspected in SNW.
As a S/U shipper, I have accepted that K/S is the OTP of trek and no spock or kirk  het pairing will come close to that.  K/S is an unstoppable pairing  in fandom, however the trek writers will never go there and make it canon. they will always pair kirk and spock with women but clearly snw has done everything they can to make sure, uhura is not coded to be one of those women.
Uhura is not meant to be desired by the male audience in SNW unlike her Kelvin counterpart, which means she will never be desired by Spock or even Kirk or any other prominent guys because let face it, it is hollywood. they sell fantasy and ugly has never sold.
As I said I know I sound shallow, but some things to me are more than just shipping. Uhura was such an icon for a black character been the complete pacakge like Lara Croft or Princess Leia and now this is what we are left with this.
Tumblr media
it is so lame and as a black woman, so racist too because it is when they wanted us not to see uhura as pretty or to be desired by men that they chose a dark skin black girl.
As a black woman, Jodi Turner Smith would have been my Uhura, if they wanted to cast a black actress with a darker shade than Nicelle Nicohls or Saldana.
However they won't cast her as she will be too much of a threat.
Tumblr media
This is my SNW UHURA.
Strange New Worlds S2
I don’t get how Strange New Worlds can still be sold as a TOS prequel at this point. Just admit it’s an AU and so be it. I swear.
People who spent the most part of the recent 10s shitting on the Kelvin Trilogy for changing the characters, insulting J.J. because he didn’t stick to TOS characterizations and relationships (despite the movies being officially marketed as an AU from the start)… have nothing to say on Strange New Worlds retcons and blatant ways of ignoring TOS-canon?
More behind the cut, in case you haven’t seen promos/trailers.

365 Marvel Comics Paper Cut-Out SuperHeroes - One Hero, Every Day, All Year…
May 12th - Polaris
Lorna Dane, the heroine known as Polaris, is a powerful Mutant and the daughter of Magneto.  Years ago, Magneto had a brief affair with a young woman named Suzanna.  When this woman discovered she had become pregnant with Magneto’s child, she decided to keep the matter a secret.  She married another man and led him to believe he was the child’s father.  This secret maintained until Lorna was a adolescent and her Mutant powers first manifested.    Her hair turned green and she discovered she possesses the ability to mentally control magnetic fields.  As these powers further developed , Lorna found that she could use them to fly and control any object containing metal.
Later in her young adulthood, Lorna was abducted by the mind-controlling Mutant known as Mesmero.  Mesmero manipulated Lorna into becoming the super villain known as Polaris, directing her to destroy the X-Men.  Fortunately she was rescued by The X-Men and Mesmero was defeated.  In the aftermath, Lorna retained the name Polaris and briefly joined the ranks of The X-Men.  Yet the lifestyle of being a superhero did not fit for her and Lorna left the squad so to pursue a doctoral degree in geo-physics.
Contrary to her wishes, Polaris was constantly dragged back into the perilous affairs of The X-Men.  She was possessed for a time by the Mutant parasite known as Malice and herein was forced to act as a member of Mr. Sinister’s team of villains, The Marauders.  Polaris was eventually rescued by The X-Men and purged of Malice thanks to the help of Psycloke.  
Thereafter, Polaris became romantically involved with Alex Summer, the X-Man known as Havok, and the two created and co-led a new iteration of the X-Factor team.  Sadly, the pair’s relationship eventually soured and they broke up. Later, Polaris helped tend to a wounded Magneto and, after running genetic tests, discovered that he was her biological father.  She would later join her father at the Mutant nation of Genosha, where she was heralded as a princess.  
Polaris was able to survive the Sentinel attack that decimated Genosha; yet the experience left her psychologically traumatized.  She rejoined the X-Men and even rekindled her romance with Alex.  The two became engaged to marry, but Alex broke it off, further compounding Lorna’s compromised mental state.  
After temporarily losing her powers and falling prey to the manipulations of the villain, Apocalypse, Lorna regained her wits and confidence and led a team of X-Men that aided The Starjammers in the cosmic War of Kings event.  Finally returning to earth, Polaris would lead a new iteration of X-Factor sponsored by the conglomerate known as Serval Industries.  
More recently, Polaris relocated to the Mutant Nation of Krakoa.  She has grown closer with her father, having put past animosities aside.  Soon after proposing the reformulation of X-Factor as an investigative agency, Polaris was elected by her fellow Mutants to be a part of the new flagship X-Men team situated in Manhattan.  
A version of Polaris featured in the television series, The Gifted, portrayed by actress Emma Dumont.  The magnetic heroine first appeared int he pages of X-Men Vol. 1 #49 (1968).
