Do you believe in the theory/headcanon that flug and goldheart are brothers?
super old ask but
I used to believe in it more than I do now. but I am not against it entirely yet.
like if there is a different plot twist to it at the end, I ain't bouta be surprised.
it would be very predictable currently. and that's mainly why I'm suspicious. it's... TOO predictable almost...
especially with Villainous' complex lore, I doubt they'll make any plot piece this easy and obvious. but who knows. maybe that don't matter and is intended to be like this cuz there will be more than enough other plot twists to this arc.
the way Goldheart speaks abt Flug, there's 2 options. he is either Flug's (older?) brother, or he an old best friend turned sour.
same goes for how Flug speaks abt Goldheart in his notes and how he reacts to seeing him on TV, lmao honestly his reaction looks a bit silly childish which would kinda fit a siblings dynamic. the thing is, I'm an only child. so I can't entirely say what the relationship is like, I can't fathom how you typically interact with siblings. but from what I observed around my peers in my childhood that looks on par.
now ppl say that evidence against them being siblings is for example that we found out they have different last names.
I'd not agree that this has to say much.
here's a few scenarios:
• Goldheart has married before. he is either as old as Flug or there's only a few years ±1-3 between them. I kinda think Flug be the younger one idk. so late 20s early 30s, you can easily have married by then.
• they are half brothers. I believe on which side doesn't matter.
• they are not related by blood, just step brothers since a young age. whether one of Flug's parents remarried and that partner already brought an existing child into the relationship too or maybe they even adopted Goldheart also doesn't matter so much.
I actually think the latter 2 options would make the most sense cuz they'd be the most hurtful considering Flug's implied past. imagine your bio parent starts to love their stepchild/adopted child more than you... always compare you to them, even tho you actually objectively achieve more, even tho you were there first, you're their actual flesh and blood. yet you have to prove yourself harder to get even a slither of the same recognition and love.
I would not listen to Gerry (crew member) who said "yeah I heard of that theory, it's always funny when ppl think that" and take that at face value "oh so they debunked it" nah that mf is just playing around. don't listen to nothing he says seriously. he purposely wants to cause chaos and confusion, he always says that.
I mean what else is he supposed to say except lead us on a wrong path, he would never confirm it if it WAS true. he not gonna spoil the story. so I think it's still possible.
EITHER WAY... even if Goldheart is not Flug's brother... it honestly doesn't matter to me at all cuz it's still clearly confirmed that Flug HAS a brother and heavily implied that his relationship to his entire family is very strained. the only anecdotal interaction we know of is that Flug's mom made him dance at prom even tho he didn't rlly want to cuz he can't dance. so his mother sounds like that odd controlling type, I could explain in depth what kind of vibes I get off her. he dreams of begging for her forgiveness and attention in episode 3. he cries at the strained story abt siblings in the Powerpuff orientation video.
if Goldheart is not his brother then that simply means he is only ONE of MULTIPLE grievances/betrayals in Flug's life. smth's wrong with his connection to his brother too. and we haven't even scratched the surface with Goldheart and Heed in his past.
TLDR: I still lean towards it, wouldn't be surprised if it's not true, don't exactly think it's as simple and straight forward as it looks with them being full blood siblings, but either way I don't mind if I'm wrong cuz I am definitely right on the last part. either way Flug don't have a good tie to his brother whoever it is.
