It’s because the Earth isn’t ready for the Captain (youtube link)

…but that’s like 78% of why I got one

For me, it was Archer using any, and every, excuse to talk down to T’Pol. I’m not sure who was writing his character, but I would’ve preferred if they’d gone more towards Picard (TNG) or Pike (SNW), and less Kirk/Sisko. As the first human explorers in that part of space, I would preferred more reverence for what they were accomplishing, and less whining about Vulcans. The other characters were were way more enjoyable to watch

TNG and SNW captains brought/bring a sense of awe with their exploration of the unknown, Archer just seemed like a kid who’s parents told him he couldn’t have ice cream for dinner

Obligatory (there are several versions of this, but this is my favourite 😁 ):

A World War II RAF pilot is reminiscing before school children about his days in the air force.

“In 1942,” he says, "the situation was really tough. The Germans had a very strong air force. I remember, " he continues, "one day I was protecting the bombers and suddenly, out of the clouds, these fokkers appeared.

At this point, several of the children giggle.

I looked up, and right above me was one of them. I aimed at him and shot him down. They were swarming. I immediately realized that there was another fokker behind me."

At this instant the girls in the auditorium start to giggle and boys start to laugh. The teacher stands up and says, “I think I should point out that ‘Fokker’ was the name of the German-Dutch aircraft company”

“That’s true,” says the pilot, “but these fokkers were flying Messerschmits.”
