Will Kirk get his shirt ripped?

[pookha]

the first rule of the kirk is that the shirt must be ripped.

did anyone ever wonder why only kirks shirt ripped so..

but as for shatner.
really how well he was in shape shifted all through the series.

some episodes he was in fantastic shape and others less so.

heck kirks shifting weight is even made fun of in corbomite manauver.

the tradition of the ripped shirt started right away with where no man has gone before

the betheren thought it was good when the shirt was ripped part
way through an episode were it couldnt be replaced..

His shirt should get ripped.

His chest will be hairless.

I concur. Canon is at stake!

I mean, look at that Pine kid- is he even fully grown?

Yes. You might be confused due to his lack of a pot belly, which we have come to associate with Kirk. We'll all have get used to a leaner, meaner (and significantly taller) Kirk.

Also with hair.

Leaner, meaner, taller, and with hair? You mean sort of a fully erected marten? No thanks, I'll go with the authentic Kirk!

 

[pookha]

actually from some images i saw pine looked good in smokin aces.

I'm not sure I understand the reference to Mustelidae.

Changeup. Looks like he split his trousers instead.

If no ripped shirt, I'd settle for some blood coming from the corner of Kirk's mouth. While his hair is PERFECT.

 

[indranee]

well I for one can't wait for the UST fanfics 'bout the leaner meaner taller Kirk and lean mean tall Spock to start up on fanfriction.net

Okay. So what we really need is Kirk in a ripped shirt, showing his hairless chest, with a trickle of blood coming from the corner of his mouth, with perfect hair and perfect, pointy sideburns. And while he is in this state he must (a) bed at least 3 women within 5 minutes of meeting them, (b) inspire the crew to victory with an inspiring "risk is our business" speech, and (c) trick a superior form of artificial intelligence into self-destructing with some infallibly logical wordplay.

Anything else?

As long as his shirt rides up over Kirk's midriff then I'll be happy. Or they could just shrink it in the wash. That could work. Also, I think I'd like to see Kirk meet a computer that is actually a child and/or god.

Or both.

 

[Swarles Barkley]

Oh and Kirk's stuntman should be at least six inches shorter (or taller) than Chris Pine, and really look nothing like him. If the stuntman is Pine's height, I will boycott this film!!

 

[Jon1701]

I also think I'd like the stunt doubles hair to flip upwards slightly during combat. Especially When he's doing a Kirk flip, or the one-two stomach punch.

And Kirk needs to use the patented "slap your combatants ears" maneuver to immobilize them.

Speaking of Kirk's shirt, we need a scene where he steps into the turbolift wearing the green tunic but steps out in the gold. Or vice-versa.

 

[Jon1701]

Oooh yes.

He needs to lose his emblem at some point as well, only for it to be back in the next scene. Maybe he puts it in the sonic space wash and it goes missing. I think this could be a key moment in the script, maybe at the end of Act two.

YOU HEAR THIS ABRAMS? THIS IS WHAT THE FANS WANT!!!!

How about if we see it change while he's wearing it - one shot, no turbolift?

Sounds to CGI-ish! No CGI! CGI is teh debil!!!11!1111!!!!!1!

 

[PKTrekGirl]

Before I answer this question in good faith, I would need to see Chris Pine nekkid.

Or almost nekkid.

Or something.

I agree with Iowagirl. Say what you will about Shatner being chubby now. Back in his day, Shatner was pretty damn fine, and pulled off that whole ripped shirt thing very well.

I became a Star Trek fan because my mother was a fan and had us kids watch with her when we were toddlers. So who knows? I might be a Trek fan today because of 60's Hot Shatner and His Ripped Shirts.

Pine marten...

 

[M'Sharak]

I was afraid you were going to say that. Didn't think they had any of those in Iowa, though.

**cues up 'The Pine Marten's Jig'**

 

[DrTaylor]

You are emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

 

[pookha]

the kirk shirt should be ripped after he went flying thorugh the air in the midst of one of those martial art leap kicks.

He has to meet an old girlfriend, make a speech about how humans don't need gods anymore, and tease Spock about having emotions, after all.
