I just watched Super Giant Robot Brothers on Netflix (great show, please watch it [well if you’re seeing this you probably did watch, but just in case, please check it out it’s awesome!]).
Anyway, after watching it and going on Tumbler to see what’s happening here with it, i’ve come here to do a bit of a brain dump on an idea I have.
Like what most people on Tumbler do.
So this is kind of an idea that I think would make a great episode or fanfic.
Ok, we all agree the Thunder is smart. Like insanely, right? That is a fact. (I know he’s a robot just roll with me.)
But then I remembered a fact about smart people. The thing is, people with higher intelligence have a harder time doing new things because they’re so used to things being easy for them that when something starts to challenge them they get frustrated and stop doing it. (I think this is mainly towards doing creative things, but I could be wrong don’t quote me on that.)
Because of that, I thought it would be a funny idea if Thunder tries to pick up something new, I don’t know what you can pick whatever you want, and him getting frustrated over the fact that he can’t do it.
And to rub a bit of salt into the wound, let’s make it so that Shiny can do the thing.
Just have Thunder trying so hard to do something but sucking at it while Shiny being amazing at it.
And we all know that the second Shiny finds out he’s better at something than Thunder, he can and will poke fun of Thunder for it. Just Shiny’s normal teasing that drives Thunder up the wall.
To the point where he says he thinks the activity in question is stupid and he doesn’t want to do it anymore, when in reality he’s just doing it by himself in the dead of night to get better at it and show up Shiny.
You know, just plain simple sibling rivalry and jealousy.
Bonus if Shiny realizes that Thunder is really struggling with this or he catching Thunder late at night and decides to help him out with it.
