I guess to me it felt more like there was three versions of them as an alpha, as the two of them separate and in their merged form and by killing him their alpha spark was sacrificed to keep them alive.

However, I definitely see your point and what you're saying absolutely makes sense. It just feels strange to me that they would still seemingly be alphas separately too if only the big guy was one - in terms of their eyes still being red etc. What you're thinking probably does make more sense than what I am lol. No, your theory makes sense too, but.....I don't see why their eyes wouldn't be red if the Voltron Wolf was the only Alpha -- they're both part of it. But, power-wise, they had to merge to compete with any other Alpha, even Derek. (The first thing they did when they were going to fight Derek was merge. They didn't even attempt fighting him separated.)

Going off of what the guy/gal/whoever-that-is right above me said, a little bit, it doesn't make sense that they'd be the bitches of the Alpha pack because they couldn't shift. We saw them shift more than we ever saw Kali shift. She was second-in-command. But, it would make sense that they'd be lowest on the totem pole if they weren't really Alphas, just parts of one Alpha. I think they just became use to fighting as one. Even when they attacked isaac they decided to shift. Also they still would have been the weakest of the alpha pack because unlike the others they never killed their own betas. Also they were the youngest alphas of the group. You're right, it would make sense that they were the lowest on the totem pole if they were parts of one alpha, but I do tend to lean more towards them 1) being the youngest alphas and 2) potentially being the last alphas to join the alpha pack.

I also agree with the thought they probably just became used to fighting as one. It's a strength boost either way- why wouldn't they take it? Even if we do see that they're efficient at fighting seperately (but still together) later.

Also, I just wanted to say thank you for being polite about this discussion and your opinions. I've had some unfortunate experiences where my head was nearly torn off because I put my thoughts out there but everyone involved here has been patient and polite about expressing their opinion and this has been a really enjoyable discussion that has given me more to think about regarding the twins and their ability to merge/alpha status. So thanks, Grahamburglar and Bigwolfonbase :)
