I actually disagree. One of the things that annoys me most about Nue Trek is their tendency to just introduce a monster of the week and then forget about it.
The Gorn are an established species within the lore, but are not very well explored and there aren’t many stories about them. But what we do know about them is this; they are supposed to be dangerous, they are supposed to be hyper aggressive, and they are supposed to be eating people, nothing about their new depiction changes any of the fundamental properties of the species. It’s far less egregious the redesigning of Klingons for example.
In other words I feel like the Gorn are faithful to cannon, and would probably have been depicted the way they are currently depicted had the budget and technology existed to do so back in TOS era.

Which redesign are we talking about here? Space Mongolians to Rubber Foreheads, or Rubber Foreheads to Monsters?
