(they match each other’s freak)

my thoughts on sharkface/temple under the cut:

Sharkface and Temple have similar character motives and morals. They're both hellbent on getting revenge on PFL for killing the people that they cared about, except they go about getting this revenge in different ways.

Sharkface experiences the death of his teammates indirectly. He hears about it while going through physical therapy and recovering from the injuries he sustained in season 9. He wants to get revenge in a direct way (fighting them head-on). Conversely, Temple watches Biff die explicitly in front of him and gains his revenge in a less direct manner (freezing agents and leaving them to die, or getting the other blues and reds to do the dirty work).

Also, while Sharkface is always clearly coded as a villain (physical appearance, dialogue, actions, etc), he doesn't refer to himself as a villain, but rather just a person who is rightfully angry and out for revenge.

Temple on the other hand, while also being just as angry and vengeful, is introduced in the opposite way. While it is left mostly vague as to whether Temple has malicious intent in the beginning, he actively wants to present himself as a theatrical villain (calling their base a "lair", having evil monologues, his search history "how to villain")

I’d like to think that if they had ever met, their goals would align perfectly for a team-up, but their methods of getting revenge probably wouldn't work out unless they figured out a compromise. there's no way of telling if they would actually get along, but they could have an interesting dynamic since they seem so different (sharkface is fearless and actively seeks violence and physical combat, temple is cowardly and delegates more violent tasks to others, which honestly could be complementary to one another) but have a lot of similarities (a flair for the dramatic) which could potentially allow them to work together really well.

tldr: they're two guys who are super angry, super dramatic, and want revenge on the same people. if they teamed up, their personalities would either make them hate each other or make them get along really well.
