Is Courage The Cowardly Dog Based on Real Couple

The animated show has a unique plotline that has captured viewers attention since the beginning. Many theories related to the show have been circulated throughout the years.

Some of the fan theories make sense and are relatable to the context while some are straight-up creepy and strange. Here are some of the fan theories that will make you rewatch the show with a new perspective.

1. The Bagge Couple Had A Son, But They Lost Him

As we watch the show we realize that Eustace and Mural don't bear any children. As per the theory presented by the viewers, the pair actually had a baby boy but lost him while he was young.

Some fans suggest that he was eaten by the Cajun Fox. Later, Muriel adopted Courage to fill the void of her lost son. Sadly, Eustace was unable to move on from the loss so he showcased his pain and anger towards Courage.

2. The Trio Are In A Post-Apocalyptic World

This is one of the most creative fan theories that suggest that the Bagge family is living in a post-apocalyptic time where the world was destroyed after a nuclear fallout.

The aliens and monsters showcased in the show are said to be mutated creatures and the UFOs are sports-model hovercrafts. The elderly pair are being protected by the military vault from radiation.

3. The Spooky Creatures Only Exist In Courage's Eyes

As we see in the show since his childhood courage has only interacted with the elderly couple only. So, the purple dog is not accustomed to new people or the events happening around the world.

The viewers believe that the monsters are all in Courage's head and his imagination sees the worst happening.

4. The Bagge Couple Are Still Puppets From the Season 1 Finale

In the season one finale magician Fusilli turned Eustace and Muriel into puppets. Even though Courage was able to use Fusilli's magic against him, it doesn't undo the curse on the Bagge couple.

The fan theory suggests that the purple dog has been pulling the strings since season two. They believe that Courage couldn't handle his owner's disappearance, so he keeps them alive by puppeteering. 

5. Eustace Displays The Signs Of Domestic Abuse

It is pretty clear how Eustace is verbally abusive toward Courage and Muriel. Keeping that in mind one of the fans came up with a theory that suggests Courage appears as a young kid who is trying to save his mother from an abusive dad.

Eustace Courage the Cowardly Dog quotes that showcase signs of verbal abuse toward Courage include, "Stupid dog! You make me look bad!"
