Talk:Ernesto de la Cruz/@comment-43718828-20200209123328

I have a theory that there were two brothers, Ernesto de la Cruz and Ernesto de la Cruel (the villain's real name).

at the beginning there were two twin brothers, Ernesto de la Cruz was very kind, he loved people and loved playing for them and Ernesto de la Cruel was evil, he hated everyone and all he wanted was fame.

Ernesto de la Cruz knew a musician named Hector and they were the best friends, Ernesto de la Cruz wanted to know how to sing his songs but those songs were secret and Hector said that he will only teach him later and Ernesto de la Cruz agreed to wait, Ernesto de la Cruel saw everything and after Hector went home, Ernesto de la Cruel asked Ernesto de la Cruz if he could still gain fame and he said that not because of his cruelty, so Ernesto de la Cruel murdered his twin brother in cold blood (probably made a toast with him and poisoned him), after that Ernesto de la Cruel put on Ernesto de la Cruz's clothes, used his nickname to hide his real nickname and started acting like him to avoid being discovered and when Hector returned, Ernesto de la Cruel saw his chance to gain fame and the rest happened in the film.

if that theory is true, it explains why he looked so sympathetic while hiding his true nature. (ask the Lee Unkrich)
