Screen Rant: It's Possible KIRK Becomes Strange New Worlds' New Number One

Screenrant is out here making up guesses.
And even if it is true, some of you need to learn what is actual canon and what you assume is canon. Kirk was an officer at one point on the Farragut. We know NOTHING about his time on the Enterprise before Season 1 of TOS.
I hope they do this just to upset people who don't know the difference between their headcanons and actual canon. The outrage will be hilarious.
It's one line in an episode that was only made to save money.
Pike also says he can't get used to a woman on the bridge, and Lester claims women can't be captains. One-off lines should and are ignored to make better stories.
Does Kirk not meeting PIke until he becomes Fleet Admiral matter? Does it change Star Trek in any way that is consequential? No and no.
It is overwriting others work for no reason other than a lack of creativity. If they can’t play in the sandbox as presented then they should go create their own.
Which is cool. We’ll all base opinions of the shows based on what we see on screen, both then and now.
Nah and nah.
Screenrant likes to frequently throw speculation articles out there. You could possibly look at them as almost editorial pieces, but it's still basically just "this is what I think could (or should) happen" stuff.
Take with a grain of salt.

More likely a handful.
But he isn't wearing Enterprise insignia.
Which is why I said I doubted he was first officer.
Kirk should not have any relationship with Pike, as it would alter The Menagerie, non trivially.
Is Kirk even a Captain right now? I thought that the Enterprise was his first command, and he gets it when Pike leaves. He was a Captain in the alternate future, because he was obviously a Captain during the time Balance of Terror takes place, but in the "present" of SNW he's almost certainly at least a few years away from being a Captain.
To be clear, I do not want Kirk to serve on the Enterprise at all prior to becoming Captain, I'm just saying that I don't think his rank at the time of SNW is the problem.
Would it? Maybe the interpretation of a line or two. Kirk may not be as close to Pike as Spock and less likely to go along with Spock's plan. No one on the Enterprise seems to be aware of Pike's fate, even though there has been sub-space chatter about it for months. Given Spock's other actions, it's easy to assume that Spock has blocked any mention of Pike in the Enterprise's comms until the time was right.
He's being referred to as "Lt. Kirk" in interviews with writer/producers.
I could swear there is a publicity still with him and La’an in a red tunic where he is wearing captain’s stripes.
Although, this is confusing since he's wearing captain's strips in the on location pics taken by bystanders. But maybe they'll address that.
In any case, it'd make far more sense to have him be LCDR Kirk, someone who's had at least one small command under his belt. So he's already on his way to captain... since supposedly he rose through the ranks quickly.
I don't see any of this happening.

And not just Captain's braids on his sleeves but the insignia of a completely different ship, station or Starbase on his breast. That tells me that in the original, unchanged timeline between the tragedy at Tycho IV and TOS that Kirk was either Captain of a Farragut or another ship with a completely different insignia or this is more time travel or alternate reality shenanigans.
