Where the hell do people get the idea James T. Kirk is a punk-ass rebel like JJ has him in this movie?

In episodes of TOS, We are told how a young James T. Kirk was.

In "Where no man has gone", Gary Mitchell who is a long time friend of kirk's says Kirk was a book-worm and basically a nerd. Then in "The Corbomite Maneuver", Bones talks about how Lt. Dave Bailey is like Kirk in his early years in Starfleet. Lt. Dave Bailey is nervous and inexperienced. Also in "Shore Leave", Finnegan is a bully who picked kirk in his academy days.   

Kirk likes to play chess with his best-friend Spock in which Kirk can out smart the vulcan.

James T. Kirk is a Nerd and more so in his early years then as a captain.

I hate to say it but James T. Kirk in his early years in Starfleet was more likely like Wesley Crusher.

Wesley Crusher would have more like became a Captain because of Captain Picard teaching on the USS Enterprise-D just like how James T. Kirk became a Captain because of Captain Garrovick teaching on USS Farragut.

Kirk cheated the Kobayashi Maru test by reprograming the computer so that it is possible to win which is more like Matthew Broderick's computer nerd character in War Games then James Dean as Jim Stark in Rebel Without a Cause.

These things about the young Kirk is more likely some of the reasons why Gene Roddenberry hated the idea of Star Trek: The First Adventure back in 1990. Star Trek: The First Adventure was going to be a Top Gun like Star Trek movie, in which Gene's Kirk character would have been rewritten into a young rambunctious (rebel) farmboy goes to Starfleet Academy.

Gene Roddenberry and the regular Star Trek actors (including Nimoy) hated this idea.


Just because James T. Kirk bends the rules sometimes does not mean he is a James Dean-type Rebel.

Newsflash: Everybody in Starfleet bends or brake the rules. Hell even the programed android Data has bend the rules.

James T. Kirk is not like James Dean or Han Solo or Luke Skywalker or Anakin Skywalker .

James Dean is James Dean, Han Solo is Han Solo, Luke Skywalker is Luke Skywalker and James T. Kirk is James T. Kirk. 

 

JJ Abrams and his writers are just dumb-asses who need to steal from other movies.

The Kirk in this movie is just a Anakin Skywalker/Mutt Williams copy (JJ Abrams and his writers have their heads high up in Lucas' butt).

I hope this movie fails.

I also hope Harve Bennett and David Loughery sues JJ Abrams and his writers for stealing their Star Trek: The First Adventure.
