Fiddleford's Inventiveness Explains The Supposed "smartness Gap" Between The Stan Twins

Fiddleford's inventiveness explains the supposed "smartness gap" between the Stan twins

Ford absorbs things like a sponge- he can construct things based on what he knows: theories, machines, etc. but he can't make anything new. we've seen it before: he gets stuck in one world of thought and doesn't think to look outside it.

in the BoB and J3, Ford frequently remarks how Fiddleford is instrumental in working with machinery. they're working on anomalies, which doesn't have almost any precedence or prior study- they have to make things up as they go. Ford will have an idea, then get stuck on something that doesn't exist yet and be unable to complete it- which is where Fidds comes in.

Stan is clever, he has impeccable logic. he doesn't have to learn something to know it, and we see him use novel ideas constantly. in completely new situations, he can deduce what kind of logic to apply: is it ruled by societal expectations or a list of rules? how can I break the system they've made? what loopholes can I find to subvert all the negative consequences?

these two ways of thinking can't easily coexist, which is why the Stan twins are so powerful when they're together: they are two halves of a whole genius

“I wanted to create a dialogue about equality by taking the two most alpha male superheroes and placing them in this embrace.” — Rich Simmons

“It shouldn’t matter who a person is, who they love, what they believe or where they come from, being a hero transcends all that. We should judge our fellow humans by the way they treat others and not by who they share a bed with."
