Early Jim Kirk: Why So Serious?

To the people who said that Paul Wesley's Captain Kirk was "too serious" or that it "wasn't our Jim Kirk":

Let's have a kiki, shall we? :)

A lot of folks seem to forget who Jim used to be before meeting him in TOS.

In an interview, Paul Wesley discussed how different Jim's early character and life was from TOS Kirk. Wesley's study of Jim and his early characterisation was in fact based on TOS descriptions and relevant lore surrounding it. I was not at all phased by the Jim we saw, as early Jim is described as quite a departure from our flirty, confident TOS Jim. Wesley did his homework.

From the chat that Kirk has with Gary Mitchell in TOS (Where No Man Has Gone Before 01x03) and Bones in Shore Leave (01x15) re: Finnegan, we learned in Jim's younger years, Kirk didn't always have that swagger. In fact, Jim used to be a rather serious nerd.

Kirk in the academy was described as "a stack of books with legs", "positively grim", and "watch out for Lieutenant Kirk. In his class, you either think or sink".

He also adhered to Starfleet rules far more in his early years a la Boimler. For example, he reported an error that older officer and very good friend of his Benjamin Finney made on the USS Republic, leading to Finney's demotion and later the events of Court Martial (01x20). He reported one of his own besties to HQ and got him demoted. Quite a departure from how often Kirk violates Starfleet orders and directives for Spock on TOS. Again, he is not the same Jim. Character growth.

I think folks get so wrapped up in Spock being the thinking guy and Kirk being the action guy that they forget: You kind of have to be a brilliant genius and thinker to even get a starship command, let alone the flagship. Jim is not dumb and never was; he is exceptionally smart. Spock is just a freaking GIGA GENIUS and anyone standing next to that might look less bright in contrast. But make no mistake, Jim is also brilliant as a military man and diplomat.

Jim is often stereotyped as a swaggering meathead when he is actually an intelligent and capable diplomat even from his earliest years with Starfleet. As a cadet, he was decorated by Starfleet with the Palm Leaf for his peace mission work on Axanar (Court Martial 01x20). As a Captain, Jim helped to complete just as many successful federation member recruitments as he did take names and kick ass.

Jim loves chess. He loves his dad's old books and classic literature. He memorizes quotes from those texts and references them constantly in TOS. How many jocks do you know out here memorizing classic literature to reference even now in our time? One of Jim's most precious, prized possessions is an old text copy of "A Tale of Two Cities" he got as a gift for his birthday from Spock.

There are still those glimpses of old Jim planted throughout TOS and the movies.

As you examine him and his past, every description of him as a young man in the original series was that he was a nerd. Kirk, as a character, shows how much we change as people from high school/uni to adulthood.

The early Jim Kirk is not the Kirk we knew and loved, and he often comes as a surprise to folks accustomed to the Jim he later becomes. He grows into his own over time and finds himself, like many of us. But Wesley's portrayal seemed surprisingly apt to me, considering early descriptions of James T. Kirk's character.

TLDR: Jim Kirk was described in his early years as "serious", "positively grim", "a stack of books with legs", top of his class, and would report you to HQ for a crumb. This is not the Captain Kirk you knew who took command of the Enterprise in 2265. Jim Kirk used to be a serious, passionate Starfleet nerd.

All in all, I thought Paul Wesley's character study with all this considered was

Anyway, thanks for coming to my Ted X Talk about baby James Tiberius Kirk.

I'd love to hear from you folks, feel free to chip in, add to this or correct any errors. :) LLAP.🖖

EDIT: See Part 2 of this Jim Kirk SNW AU Analysis where I respond to an ask from @letteredlettered​; we get into the importance of the Triumvirate for Kirk Prime, as well as the relevance of why Jim Kirk being assigned the Farragut would be a poor choice of command commission for him. It further solidifies that this is not “our Kirk”, but an AU where we see what would come of our Kirk if he did not get the flagship commission or meet his boays to form the Trek Trinity.

Bro, seeing all the age swap is making me think of an AU - I need help.

Hughie is the one who lost someone close to him (cousin instead of a brother maybe) and Billy is very similar to them in personality.

Instead of Butcher corrupting Hughie and turning him against Supes. Hughie slowly teaches Billy forgiveness and sets him on a path of healing.

Supes are still Supes, but with heroes like Homie and Solider Boy being younger, they still have time to repent.

So, the show is about healing rather than hurting.

Also, love the idea of Billy calling Hughie Mr. Campbell like Hughie calls Billy "Butcher."

😭😭 it's so crazy that people make a whole au out of my stupid sketches nhfjhjfbh the thought of hughie comforting young billy.. making him feel loved and cherished is so sweet.....it's about healing rather than hurtING WHAT IF I CRIED. i love this thank youu

Honestly the implications for the Byers family dynamics if Jonathan gets taken to the UD instead of Will are staggering.

#I’m assuming an AU where he’s saved from the UD #obviously the dynamics would change in a very very sad way if he died #but will getting taken to the UD and being sick/possessed afterwards #kind of prolongs and exaggerates a pre-existing dynamic in the family #where will is the primary object of concern and Jonathan is the provisional second parent #but if Jonathan’s the one to basically acquire a long-term if not permanent disability in a really traumatic way #(which is in broad strokes what happens to will) #just as will is becoming older and more independent #a lot more has to change #and I think they would all feel so weird about it! #also if Jonathan’s too sick to work #or people don’t want to hire him because of the weirdness around his disappearance #that has more material consequences #idk it makes me think of Joan of Arcadia #where the star athlete older brother is paralyzed in a car accident #and the younger kids #(a slightly dirtbag-ish average teen girl and a nerdy teen boy) #are like yeah remember when our mild teen brattiness and social ineptitude were this family’s biggest problems? #guess no one is too concerned about that now! #that said will is still not allowed to ride his bike at night

Thank you so much though! That's pretty much what I wanted to know, I feel way better knowing that I didn't really miss out on anything lol. But YES his drunk-in-love jealous side...I LIVE FOR IT! I thought we'd be getting all that in this card but *sigh* the devs let us down...is anybody surprised though...we'll get through this fellow solovers 🥹🌻

You are very welcome, anon! I'm happy I could provide the answer(s) you were looking for ^u^

You definitely didn't miss out on anything, that's for sure lol But... I'm hoping the Christmas event (which I assume the devs will make) will turn out to be amazing.

Personally... I really wish the devs would make all non-holiday events cater to each specific character. So one event could focus on MC and Solomon, the next event could focus on MC and Mammon, the event after that focus on MC and Satan, etc. until all of the boys get a turn. And then the cycle could repeat, just with different scenarios/dates/bonding experiences.

That way, everyone could have plenty of special, romantic experiences with their favorite boy(s).

I know that idea will probably never become reality... but I'll keep my fingers crossed lol

And same here, dear anon! I absolutely love and adore Solomon's jealous side so much! >w<

Needy Solomon is everything, Jealous Solomon is perfection~ ✨

Again, thank you so much for the ask, anon! I hope you have a wonderful day 💙

#I dont normally complain about the devs #but I agree with you anon! #we deserve more romance with our boys! #I also do have one major complaint that I will be posting about later #but that will be later later lol #anyway thank you so much for reaching out anon! #please have a great day <3 #lovely anon #nerdy replies #nerdy answers #nerdy responds #obey me #obey me shall we date #obey me one master to rule them all #obey me nightbringer #obey me solomon #obey me nightbringer solomon
