Another character in Young Sheldon season 7 further proves that The Big Bang Theory's premise and its original portrayal of Sheldon was a lie.
- Young Sheldon season 7 episode 2 reveals Sheldon's struggles, proving he isn't as special as The Big Bang Theory made him out to be.
- The Pasadena gang tolerated Sheldon's bad behavior because of his high level of intelligence yet low EQ, showing their patience with his social ineptitude.
- With just 12 episodes left before the finale, Young Sheldon continues to challenge the original premise of The Big Bang Theory .
Young Sheldon season 7, episode 2 just further demonstrated that The Big Bang Theory's premise was a lie. In 2007, CBS launched another ensemble sitcom, marrying the class with nerd culture, which was on the rise then with films like The Dark Knight and Iron Man dominating the movies charts a year later.
The Big Bang Theory focused on a gathering of geniuses who were also self-confessed social outcasts. Banding together through their shared interests and hobbies, as well as their high intellect, it was easy to pull for them as they navigated their way into various challenges.
Despite its extraordinary premise and impeccable timing, The Big Bang Theory's backbone was its always characters. During its earliest years, it was a genuine gathering show, however it eventually became clear that Sheldon was its actual protagonist.
This was eventually solidified by being the main character who got his own spinoff in Young Sheldon, also the events of The Big Bang Theory finale. As the prequel tackles its final year, nonetheless, it continues to contradict its parent series premise, particularly the original character description for the socially-inept genius. Young Sheldon season 7 just has 12 episodes left before its May finale.
Sheldon Isn't As Special As The Big Bang Theory Made Him To Be

While the rest somehow had similar traits, Sheldon was exceptional because he was presented as a generational genius. Growing up in Texas, he supposedly stood out because the state wasn't known for its academic institutions, which meant that he wasn't exposed to similar minds during his young life.
The prequel has already dispelled this with Paige's presentation — an individual kid wonder who unfortunately fell through some hard times as of late. Young Sheldon season 7, episode 2, "A Roulette Haggle Piano Playing Canine," doubles down on this as Sheldon struggles in Germany for his summer study program.
Sheldon is humiliated when the teacher tells him that he needs a mentor. While he is still skeptical about it, meeting another youngster wonder, who already has an undergraduate added to her repertoire, convinces him that he isn't as smart as he thinks he is.
Worse, he even admits that she is more knowledgeable than him. This makes him look so ordinary, especially since Sheldon himself realizes the harsh truth about the level of his intellect. At least with Paige, he is still serious, yet he learns immediately that he is no match for his German rival.
Why The Pasadena Gang Tolerated Him In Big Bang Theory
There was an idea that Sheldon's brain just didn't have a balanced turn of events. While he had a high level of intelligence, he also had disappointingly low EQ, which made him unable to engage in even the simplest social interactions — as demonstrated by a specialist's visit in Young Sheldon.
It was also the supposed reason why he can be discourteous and frightful, even to his friends. The Pasadena gang assumed, notwithstanding, that Sheldon's bad behavior wasn't intentional. Instead, being socially-inept was just simply the way that his brain worked. Because of this, they were more than patient with him despite various transgressions throughout the long term.
