I hate the false stereotypes of Kirk that informed Abramstrek’s depiction of him.

I don’t doubt Kirk was a ladies man. There is on screen evidence for that. It’s the perception he got jiggy with every woman he met in every episode. Eddie Murphy even had a bit in his 80’s standup act about how Kirk did it with an Orion slave girl. That never happened. Casual viewers somehow mash up Vina seriously turning Pike on with Marta, who would kiss Kirk as she attempted to knife him in Whom Gods Destroy.

Still, it doesn’t seem out of character for Kirk to be getting jiggy with an Orion slave girl in Star Trek 09, especially considering his younger age and the slightly different personality that comes with the alternate upbringing.
