Just going to rant about something I think I noticed in the new season, I am very very sleepy so this probably makes sense to me
-spoilers for the new season-
During the first season of the reboot Brain was very composed unlike in the third season. Where season one Brain wouldn’t be seen crying, even when he explained his backstory to Pinky, in seasons 2-3 he is shown as much more emotional. But in season 3 this guy seems to be actually loosing it
In their last segment (How the Brain Thieved Christmas) Brain’s eyes were always uneven and look a little crazy
He was irrationally mad throughout the entire episode and couldn’t seem to focus at all, which is uncharacteristic of him, especially when in season one he would never lose his train of thought wouldn’t happen
Brain definitely was getting more ‘emotional’ during the second season and let it slip a few times but I think what started to get to him was the episode Talladega Mice, with having to talk with Pinky and help him work through with his stress, having to contain some emotion. Then the episode Groundmouse Day happened and I think it really got to Brain and caused him to go a bit mad. After that, Brain has been saying and doing things spontaneously and is showing a completely different side while trying to maintain his ‘stern monotone’ facade. Its surreal to see
And with this, its also obvious how much he has changed in the physical touch area, whereas in season 1 and 2, he would grab Pinky’s hand a lot, pull him really close without having a second thought, season 3 Brain is completely different
He gets flustered over just a hand hold that is no different from every other time from the past 30 years
Then there’s the kiss from Groundmouse Day that has him stunned while (probably in season 1) Brain gets kissed but he shows only aggression
Brain’s affection, or more just interacting with Pinky has decreased in this season and he seems to keep getting flustered over something Pinky has done a million times
So I think with all this information combined, I believe that Brain has been getting more insane if you will, or is in an odd headspace, and the suddenish change could be Brain has been getting unstable and could be causing his slip up in affection, or he knows about his blatant love for Pinky that it in turn is causing his insanity
Who knows which one it is, honestly I think its the latter
But hey thats just a theory
a Film Theory
