12 Biggest Inconsistencies Between Young Sheldon and TBBT, Ranked
When you're making a show about a young genius based on the fan-favorite show about him as an adult, you have to do your homework very thoroughly.
Otherwise, you'd be torn to shreds by the enthusiasts who know the lore better than themselves.
And we're here to provide you with some inconsistencies in Young Sheldon that don't take into account the events of The Big Bang Theory.
Sheldon in The Big Bang Theory perfectly fits the archetype of a nerd who can be so annoying it becomes amusing, and his kid version adds cuteness to that equation, making him more loveable (but sometimes even more insufferable).
That's why seeing the deviations in the depiction of certain events and traits between the two works feels a bit like a betrayal.
The showrunners certainly adhered to the major events that were mentioned in The Big Bang Theory, but these little details that add the spice to Sheldon's character (and humor) that were mentioned in anecdotes were seemingly brushed off — and probably it was done to make his younger version less comedic and more dramatic: young Sheldon doesn't end up as a butt of a joke as often as his adult version is.
