Yeah, pretty much.  And as they say, "The future is not set. There is no fate but what we make for ourselves."  But then in the 3rd movie, they said they couldn't change the fact that Judgement Day would happen..

That would have made a mess of things in Star Trek - or more of a mess than it already is..  There have been some continuity errors in Star Trek already, and one could also argue about whether the appearance of the original Enterprise in the original series vs. the Enterprise in Discovery & Strange New Worlds is a change in canon or not..  I think the updates to the Enterprise's appearance in Discovery & Strange New Worlds is cool, but sometimes I find it hard to think of reasons why it would be different than how the Enterprise was in the original series.
