Yup. It takes away from the overall message and leaves me scratching my head. Any interest in the show is diminished greatly.

Additionally I think he's just not a good fit for Kirk.
Like, he definitely looks the part.
But everything I have ever seen him in, he always looks brooding and serious. Kirk had a great deal of swagger.
Anson Mount has that. I'm missing that from Paul Wesley.
Could totally be wrong though. When I saw Anson Mount in "Inhumans" I was pretty sceptical too, and he turned out to be absolutely awesome. But so far I'm just not seeing it here.

As extremely skeptical as I am I have no issue with his acting. The whole point of actors is the ability to act out a role.
Yeah, I hope I'm wrong here...
If you watch the MechaRandom42 video which has a mystery guest on it the reasoning is explained why it could be George Kirk even though you say the actor has admitted he playing Kirk he may have got confused between J Kirk and G Kirk if has never seen ST.
The timeline is analyzed and it has videos of Wesley going into his trailer and live shooting footage.
The video is long but some of it is about other things. Watch the first hour and 15 mins.
He met William Shatner on the plane. How dense and confused could a person be?
ETA: Here's the post in the other thread linking to whatever social media page it's on.

That sounds about as inviting as taking a swan dive into a pool full of broken glass and used hypodermic needles, so I think I'll pass.
Perhaps he saw something on the wing?
True. He might be struggling with staying in the zone.
Weird things happen at twilight.
Mecha is a professional troll who's been spreading lies about Trek for years. No thanks.
The official Trek social media pages have referred to him as playing James Kirk.
We're talking about Robert Pattinson as Batman now?
Pretty much. Actor X played character Y in Movie Z and I hated it.
Rightfully so. My childhood and all that.
Only to people who overreact and blow things way out of proportion.
Jesus Christ, it's been one day. Give them some time and I'm sure more answers will be forthcoming. Or, do the normal fan freak out and jumping to conclusions instead of having a little patience.
Regardless of Kirk's role in this, I am absolutely 100% sure Christopher Pike will continue to play a substantial lead role in the show for a long time. Anson Mount's take on the character is too well-received and had too much build-up on Discovery to have him only play a minor part in this series to pass the baton to Kirk. He will be around whether as captain or fleet captain.
Took a survey, did ya? Well, my bullshit anecdotalometer reading says otherwise.
The photos leaked, so they had to quickly get out in front out it. This was not a planned marketing event. Give them some time and more information will be forthcoming.
