So who was Han Solo modeled after? Kirk?
Jonathan Archer was Han Solo's boyhood hero.
Only because of that thing with the airlock.
Kirk--young Kirk especially--had none of those Solo-esque qualities Pine is talking about. He was, from all accounts, a tightly wound, laser focused wunderkind who, even when he broke the rules (Kobayashi Maru), it was only after exhausting the possibilties within the framework of the rules and even then, it really didn't matter. He has little in common with a cold-blooded drug smuggler who reluctantly joins the Rebellion, the "grumpy, accidental hero" aspect.
... and all your examples are from the movies, when Kirk was an older man.Franklin said:Kirk didn't seek out the confrontation with Khan. He didn't relish the idea of going back in time to find humpback whales, but he knew he had to do it. He wasn't thrilled about being the olive branch to the Klingons in TUC, but it was forced upon him and he did it.

Just so I can hear the cheerleaders howl...
The "cheerleaders" aren't that easily baited.![]()
i get what he's saying, so i'm not going to over react to this
Maybe Pine's just not steeped in science fiction lore, and Han is the first cool character that came to mind.

Yeah he should have said Mal Reynolds and then we'd all go oooo, he's so cool.
Alternatively, it would cause a humongous shitstorm. Either would be good.
The master baiter.
