The Kratt brothers are a Sun and Moon duo, but which one is which is probably not who you think.
This isn't related to or inspired by anything in particular, it was just a random thought that popped up in my head one day and I figured I'd share it thinking maybe somebody else might be inspired to do something with it.
People often think of Martin as having a sunny personality, which is understandable, though I would argue he really has more of a moon-like personality overall, with Chris being the true Sun-brother.
The moon is constantly changing, going through phases, every single night being different than the last, even changing color from time to time. The moon is supposed to be a staple of the night, but it can often be seen during the daytime too, breaking the rules as if it doesn't want to obey structure and hates the idea of monotous routine. Spontaneous, rebellious, unfettered, fluid. Sounds like Martin, and how he bounces from one thing to the next, how he's so random and unpredictable, going with the flow and doing his own thing regardless of others expectations, but is not always the most reliable.
Meanwhile the sun is always the same, never changing, always bright, always warm, day after day after day. The sun is only out during the day, because the sun defines the day. The sun makes its own rules and follows them religiously. Sometimes it warms you and gives you energy and comfort, and sometimes its heat is overbearing and light blinding. Dependable, rigid, single-minded, strong-willed. Sounds like Chris and how he loves predictability and order, but can be incredibly stubborn on occasion, and when he sets his sights on something, he will power through until he gets it, for better or for worse.
Chris' favorite color is green because it reminds him of plant life. He's the climbing brother who loves being in the trees. What do plants feed on, and will even bend themselves over backwards just to follow? The sun.
Martin's favorite color is blue because it reminds him of the ocean. He's the swimming brother who loves being in the water. What force controls the characteristic relentless push and pull of the tides? The moon.
On a more face-value note, Chris explicitly prefers hot environments and has a lower cold tolerance, while Martin prefers cold environments and has a lower heat tolerance, just like how the sun is hot and the moon is cold.
