In the episode Rottenbeard, the LazyTown Big Book of History contains pictures of a pirate and hero that look VERY similar to Robbie Rotten and Sportacus. Why?
Pure coincidence
Robbie previously modified the book for Rotten Plan™ purposes
Milford saw what the kids were playing and quickly wrote a story to go along
Bessie was writing slash and accidentally left it in the mayor's office
Robbie and Sportacus are immortals who periodically reinvent themselves
Something something time loop
In every age, there is a born a Rotten trickster and a hero sports elf…
All Icelandic men happen to look like either Stefán Karl or Magnús Scheving
Episode writers wanted to make the parallels extremely obvious to children
It's just a show; you should really just relax (la la la la la)
~Actually~, I don't think they look very similar at all
Other (???, please share your headcanon in the notes)
Incidentally, when Milford opens the LazyTown Big Book of History, we see a page with several paragraphs of text. I assumed these would be Lorem ipsum, but in fact it seems to be Milford's to-do list repeated over and over and over. So that's kinda weird.
Buy Bessie some flowers. Call Bessie for dinner. Walk in Park with Bessie. Eat Lunch in Park. Exercise and loose weight.
The odd capitalization and misspelled "loose" are repeated every time as well.
