I’m more inclined to like a Klingon who’s just got a different personality than someone like Worf who never shut the hell up about Klingon tradition since he was always trying to prove he was a warrior.

We already had this in the "exchange program" ep of TNG, when Riker goes on the Klingon ship they aren't acting like Worf, especially the "Klingons do not laugh" bullshit.

It's because Worf has a chip on his shoulder because of his human upbringing and his father not dying a warrior's death
