Honestly, I saw the 2009 film first and I was freaking shocked when I checked out TOS at how little Kirk resembled the pop culture depiction of him.

Yeah he broke rules, but after due consideration and always while trying to do the right thing, not because he thought he was above them.

Yeah he kissed lots of pretty ladies, but often times there was a secondary reason involved -- mind manipulation, he needed something to save the crew/Enterprise, because he genuinely fell for them, etc. And he never would have disrespected them the way Kirk does to Uhura and Marcus in the new films.

I can't stand the way they've mischaracterized him.

Nothing to add, but this is a good comment, and I'm glad you checked out the 'real' Kirk in TOS. :)

Yeah, pop culture Kirk is pretty much an invention of later parodists. Jim Kirk was married to his ship, but a real romantic when it came to women, rather than a lothario as such.
