When I was a kid I always thought that Kirk was a dick for cheating on the Kobayashi Maru. Because he so was. This movie doesn't even leave that ambiguous.
Dude, dude, dude, all I want these days is to explore the differences between the two Kirks and the difference scenarios they envisioned for themselves to win, because it is seriously, seriously so warped for a guy who lost his dad in the destruction of an entire ship, to be so goddamn blase about blowing three Klingon Birds of Prey to kingdom come, while Kirk Prime took every pain imaginable to ensure that little life was lost, even in a simulation. Like. Still a dick move! But man, just how. Nu!Kirk is so much more...he's all sorts of unarticulated damage, huh?
