Is Mercury... A SURVIVOR PLANET?!!!
Hi Everyone, VickRacker here! And I have a theory based on another about Mercury, since they've covered both the subject of collisions and now the Earth's core.
One of the 10 planetary catastrophes is "The Mercury Mantle Disaster," in which Mercury collided with another protoplanet, causing it to lose much of its crust,this not only reduced it to its core, but also pushed it to where it is today, close to the Sun.
If this were to be made into a TV series, it would be as if it had suffered a very serious accident that left lasting scars until the Sun welcomed it and cared for it, hiding its survival from the planets in an attempt to keep them in their orbits (I think the collision occurred between Jupiter's accidental attack and their introduction to the gas giants in Theia's flashback).
That's why he is so dense, literally, his core is disproportionate to its size and he didn't die or reincarnate in the case of Earth, he himself tells Venus that he has known the Sun all his life, and this together with the toxic behavior of the Sun "who saved him" shook him so much that that's why he was shy at first, didn't impose himself or say what he feels and acted in a passive aggressive way with Venus (besides the planet not having volcanoes to release everything) and even so after all this he acted like a good friend/therapist.
