Other franchises, like Star Wars?
Well, I was kind of thinking about how Star Trek jumps back and forth in terms of modernity. Stories that aren’t set apart more than a few years can have vastly different looking technology. And some times when they make prequel stories or go back in time they try to semi-upgrade the look of how things looked.
Aliens kind of also did this. Despite having prequels that take place only a few years prior to the originals the tech is suddenly much more modern looking.
