I know that having Colt as this protective a little aggresive cool old brother and Ryland as this nerdy anti-social and clueless little brother is nice. However, there are here some details and ideas that could be also nice to have into account:
They are both losers. It isn't just Ryland been the loser, no no, Colt is also a loser, he is a loser that knows how to do cool things? yes, but he is still pretty much a loser.
If Ryland rants about science, Colt rants about movies and special effects.
If Colt is physically violent, Ryland is or at least was verbally violent. Colt through the movie kinda of tries to keep the things calm, he knows how to fight, he doesn't like to use it as a first option. Ryland, at least in the book, was a infamous diva that would through comments here and there to the other scientists, nothing too aggresive, but clearly judgemental.
Can we please acknowledge more the fact that Colt is a hopeless romantic? a very awkward hopeless romantic? He is not smooth, he doesn't know how to really flirt, if Jody wasn't already interested in him, Colt would have very little chance, not because he is not handsome or kind, just because he is a yearner.
Colt also was crying in his car listening Taylor Swift, let him be the loser he is.
Colt may have some kind of media training, Ryland, until he become a teacher, may have no real filter.
Colt does dangerous things in his stunts, but less not forget that Ryland is literally working with astrophage dairy.
Ryland, at least in the movie, had mention to have received pills from strangers before, meaning that he could have had a very wild time in colleges. He could even still using recreational drugs but in a more control way.
Let them be brothers, like, I know that the connections and bond are beautiful, but sometimes siblings would be evil with each other because it is what it is, sometimes the Cain instinct is too strong. It can be just Colt been teasing and Ryland been a poor victim, no, siblings tease each other, maybe not in the same way, maybe not at the same degree, but it is an exchange. Colt steals Ryland glasses? Ryland has show Jody an embarrassing photo of Colt as payment. Ryland has been sharing too many embarassing things to Jody? Colt has to show everyone that video of Ryland with 16 years old, practicing his discourse for when he wins the nobel prize in front of the bathroom mirror. It is fair play, because that is how fair play works for siblings.
Let them be scary, twins have been a scary element in the popular culture since The Shinning, and Colt knowing this would totally take it to his advantage to make jokes around with Ryland.
They are BOTH salty, it isn't just Ryland the one with back luck, the bad luck runs in this family, it is part of their DNA.
Also it would be nice to have more Ryland as a tired older brother, and Colt as a gremlin little brother, but I will not push it.
I think that Rocky would be amazed by the idea of human twins, he would be excited to learn more about Colt and how he was, but in the end he would realize that Colt is also a loser and think that maybe humans in general are just losers (They are not, it is just the genes in this two.)
Also if Rocky and Colt ever meet, Colt be 100% determinated to recreate the scene of the bike of E.T with Rocky.
If Rocky meets Jody he would finally meet a person who is not the disaster twins and understand that humans can actually be kinda of cool.
This has nothing to do with the rest of this post, but can be make more content of Simon and Jody Moreno been friends? Like I think I have never see or read an interaction between this two. It is always Jody telling Colt to relax and let Grace decide with who to be, but there is no real exchange between them.
I wold love Simon and Jody sitting down and talking about the twins just to realize that somehow the Coltland twins have the share ability to get involve in astronomical problems, to be presumed dead and look good while doing so.
