Which Kirk is more badass?

[TREK_GOD_1]

Classic Kirk, of course. This is the man--a real man--not someone who looks like he was just booted from the Teen People demographic. On the physical side, Classic Kirk who battled gods (or near gods), a genetically enhanced tyrant with 5 times the strength of a normal human, a man thought to be immortal (with superior strength), the Gorn captain, Klingons, Romulans, and just about anything else the galaxy could throw at him.

On the captain /"book" side, he took down planet killers, androids, evolved a.i. computers, captians of species more invested in the tactics of war than humans, etc.

Clearly, there's more, but there's no need to go into it: nuKirk is a lightweight compared to the Shatner classic, who defined being a sci-fi badass.

So, with 2 twins you have a twin from each set, two different people. Twins, the two identical folk need only be called twins.

I can have 3 twins if I want. One from each of three sets.

Does "iconic" mean "old," now?

oldKirk fought a gorn, I guess that has to count for something.

To be fair Pine Kirk did fight a heck of a lot more Gorn in the game.

Pine has to start using Kirk Fu, though, if he wants to take the spot.

This....I was waiting for a flying kick or two-fisted punch in this film...

To be fair, we've seen ninety hours of Kirk Prime vs. four hours of nuKirk.

That would be 2 twins and a only child .

Pine Kirk cried (not that there's anything wrong with that), Shatner Kirk would never do that. He's not in touch with his feminine side

Hardly conclusive since William Shatner has no tear ducts.
