Starfire was always going to be a controversial character due to her in-your-face sexuality,
Isn't that a new(ish) take on her character? I thought Starfire was meant to be "the naieve one" or somesuch.
(Disclaimer that I'm really not a comics/superhero guy, so my knowledge is really lacking there.)

These are clearly photos taken from the Teen Titan actors out of scene, not in character, wearing jackets over their costumes to keep warm. Of course they are going to look rubbish. People said the same thing (Moviebob included) when they saw leaked photos of catwoman from The Dark Night Rises set, only for her to go on and become the best thing in the movie.
Um, really? She was okay, but I'd say Bane stole the show characterwise.

You know it makes me wonder how the hell are the gonna make this show work in Live Action because the 3 of them have powers that are way too pricy to make work in live action, especially on TV/Steaming service.
Beast Boy turns into every animal from a micro-organism bacteria to a Whale.
Raven has all these shadow powers that she eminates.
Starfire flys and shoots starbolts and her hair is on fire.
And Robin...um...fights with a metal rod?
...why is he even here? It's like Batman being a member of the Justice League and making just as little sense. 0_0

Yes DareDevil is the de facto flagship series of Netflix now given the fact it's the most popular orignial series on the service, but that's because the old flagship died.
Um, since when?
Most popular MCU show on Netflix? Sure, I could buy that. But as far as "de facto flagship series" goes, that's the first I've heard of it, and a quick search has people citing everything from House of Cards to Stranger Things as a "flagship series."

While the initial reaction to the teaser trailer had the show postponed by a year, the ship redesigned and the cast shuffled (and four episodes thrown out and production restarted),
Source?
the design we got in the end still sucks,
Nup.
the uniforms are still horrible,
Nup.
the characters are still horribly written,
Nup.
Does it?

The Star Trek teaser on the other hand was given hug a budget to draw not just attention not for the show, but for the newly created CBS All Access Service. When the teaser was the talk on the web and on forums/ TV, they pulled back from it. Eventually using radio and cheap web ads to keep people talking.Eventually, CBS pulled back much of the budget from Star Trek Discovery and leading it to look as the way it does.
Okay, again, source.
That two people are claiming the same thing does lend this credence, but this is the first I've heard of it. I remember the teaser trailer back in 2016, watching it with a bit of interest ("huh, they're making another Star Trek show. That's nice I guess."), and bemusement ("wow, people really hate the ship design."). Then you had the 2017 trailer, and while some negativity remained, the like:dislike ratio is far more positive. As for budget, again, first I've heard of it. I looked up the budget ($6-8 million per episode), which is pretty much the norm for TV (e.g. Daredevil has about 4 million per episode).
As for "looking the way it does," I don't know what that means. If we're talking about aesthetics, that's a different kettle of fish, but in terms of fidelity, it's probably the best Trek's ever been. Or even the design of the ship, compare something like this:

to this:
http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/File:USS_Discovery_in_Klingon_space.jpg (final design)
Might be down to opinion, but I think most would agree the final version looks a lot better than the original version.
