Missy Calls Out Sheldon’s Big Bang Theory Friends’ Behavior… And She’s Absolutely Right

Amid Sheldon’s latest crisis in Young Sheldon, Missy calls out his friends in The Big Bang Theory, and she is exactly right about her criticism.
Missy Cooper calls out Sheldon’s friends in The Big Bang Theory on Young Sheldon, and she is exactly correct in her criticism. Elevating the character of Sheldon’s twin sister far above her brief TBBT appearances, Missy (Reagan Revord) has demonstrated emotional maturity and great judgment in the past. While she has made many mistakes and missteps in her journey, she has been generally relatable, dependable, and incredibly smart. Missy shows just how intuitive she is again in Young Sheldon season 6, episode 19, “A New Weather Girl and A Stay-At-Home-Coddler,” when she rightfully exposes Sheldon’s The Big Bang Theory friends.
Originally, The Big Bang Theory was an ensemble series focusing on all seven main characters. Over the years, however, it became increasingly clear that its true lead was always the socially inept genius, Sheldon Cooper. The Big Bang Theory leans on Sheldon’s quirks for humor, but he could be very frustrating, especially when he was being unreasonable. While the best of The Big Bang Theory’s cast of characters accepted this behavior as part of Sheldon’s quirks, his own sister Missy took a much more intelligent assessment of him years earlier in Young Sheldon.

While young Sheldon can be annoying at times, The Big Bang Theory shows that he grows meaner and more inconsiderate by the time he’s an adult. Throughout The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon had inconvenienced, demeaned, and hurt his friends over the most mundane things. Given this, it’s curious why they still decided to not just tolerate him, but stay friends with him. It was Bernadette who actually explained why in The Big Bang Theory season 5, episode 21 titled “The Hawking Excitation.”

Missy goes deeper in her character analysis of her brother, claiming that he uses his social struggles to always try to get what he wants.

According to Bernadette, she and the rest of the Pasadena gang have been quick to forgive Sheldon for his transgressions because he doesn’t know what he’s doing. “Sheldon doesn’t know when he’s being meant because the part of his brain that should know is getting a wedgie from the rest of his brain,” she says.
This isn’t really accurate, and Missy Cooper points that out in Young Sheldon’s “A New Weather Girl and A Stay-At-Home-Coddler.” As Sheldon deals with feeling being left behind in life, his sister comes in and calls him out on feeling pitiful about himself. Then, Missy goes deeper in her character analysis of her brother, claiming that he uses his social struggles to always try to get what he wants. Sheldon surprisingly agrees with this assumption, essentially debunking Bernadette’s explanation of his bad behavior.

Missy recognized her brother’s ploy is impressive, but it shouldn’t be surprising. Young Sheldon has proven that she is the most intuitive in her family. When Mary was having issues at church on the heels of Georgie and Mandy’s unexpected pregnancy news, she was the only one who noticed her mother’s struggles.

Something similar happened when Georgie was getting crucified for the aforementioned incident. Couple that with having to deal with Sheldon being her twin for years, and it makes feel that Missy understands her brother. Young Sheldon’s continuity is very bad, but at least it is making up for The Big Bang Theory’s poor depiction of Missy.
