Threw out everything that made the game good

Why did Chris Roberts throw out everything that worked in the games? The ship designs, sets and costumes worked great in the game. Why did he go with the submarine, ww2 fight jet look, right down to the stupid flight caps?

Wing Commander was always a nice simple story of humans defending against the Kilrathi, why add the extra nonsense about the pilgrims etc. Why can't movies just have regular characters in them , why does every main character have to be the choosen one.

Some of the best scenes in Wing Commander where the Bar scenes , where you get to see the camaraderie of the characters.

The thing that always got me about the game is how many human traitors there were-the mandarins; the retros; the pilgrims (not canon?); I swear you'd think fighting an enemy who wants to eat you or sacrifice you to Sivar would stiffen your spine somewhat.
