[Image ID: A monkey team comic. Chiro is out walking with the hyperforce in his civilian clothes. He turns and asks them, "So...I'm the only human you guys ever talked with?"

"Indeed," answers Antauri, "I believe it is due to our mutual connection through the Power Primate that allows us to understand one another."

Nova remarks, "It sure makes things a lot easier!"

"Then how did you communicate with people before?"

Gibson explains, "Oh, you would be surprised by how far simple gestures can carry a conversation."

The scene shifts to random citizens close by with shocked expressions. It is revealed that they are watching the hyperforce's conversation, only they see the entire team, including Chiro, jumping around and acting like feral monkeys all the while jabbering "ook ook eek eek ah!" /end ID]

And was upset by the first sentence!

I know it is possible that the person who created the design is not a heart fan of SRMTHFG, but I thought about it and I thought - do other fans think that about him?

This idea actually seems very sad to me, and perhaps even sadder than it seems at first glance, and I will tell you why.

Otto is a mechanic. I think if Gibson is a real scientist (probably at least an experimental physicist and chemist), Otto will probably be an engineer.

Mechanics is the basis of physics. Anyone can't handle it and it's very important. Most fields of engineering and mechanics basically fulfill the dreams of physicists. It is the creations of engineers that fly in space and allow us, for example, the Internet. However, engineers are very underrated in a real world even when they are so important for us. You can see it in TBBT in Howard’s case where nobody cares about him because he doesn’t have a doctorate.

And I think we can agree that Otto's creations are essential.

Otto sometimes manages to build things before Gibson finishes talking about them - for exapmle there in ep. “Planetoid Q”:

Sometimes he seems to understand the theory logically. Maybe he doesn't just understand technical terms. I think the inability to recognize sarcasm or take everything too seriously may give the impression that it is a little slowed down. To me (as an autist) it looks like autism. However, don’t be fooled. - These people often discover their talents in exceptional fields. Just like our Otto.

(Note: I saw something, but I’m not sure if Otto being autistic is confirmed. I judge by my feelings.)

So don’t any of you ever dare to call him dumb or even “not the smartest” anymore!

It may be bold to say that he is as intelligent as Gibson. But I'm sure he's a lot smarter than Sparx.

Have a Angy Nova! I was practicing angry faces and this happened to be one of them. It made my monkey brain go burr.
