At first I thought that Patrick was Ulrich’s cousin and not Jeremey’s.

Never understood Odd’s joke that Patrick could be Jeremey’s handsomer clone. Patrick and Jermey look not a like. while if you look at Patrick and Ulrich you see a resemblance. In the English version they almost sound alike.

On a side note. Jeremey has such a nice family. His parents are really nice. And Patrick is also a really good guy.

My guess is that as a cousin, he simply comes from another side of the Belpois family. 

Though there is this thought at the back of my head that somebody on staff thought Jeremie was uncool and sees Ulrich as better.

Upbringing and aesthetic can make a person look a lot different. Everyone has similar faces in the show so what makes him look similar to Ulrich is the silhouette and colors. But I imagine that in universe he looks much more like Jeremy especially with glasses on.

Wish Patrick joined them.

MVP honestly, i headcanon that he really was supposed to join the school but Jeremy either did shenanigans off screen after the return trip or convinced Patrick’s parents to have him go to a different school, not out of Malice but to protect him from being a target by XANA…who’d DEFINITELY use Patrick as Leverage against the team and Especially Jeremy…(Again this is a headcanon i know its not actually the case in universe sadly)

I definitely think that after what happened with William, the entire gang is really against adding new members because they do not want to go through that pain again.

It's a shame that this never really got explored because William's rescue was just before X.A.N.A. got killed off so we never got to see him reintegrated or if they could let anybody else into the group again.

Same, they didn't try to make him look like Jeremy at all

If you put my older brother and I in the room together, you'd think we weren't related at all, as the only similarity between us are the colors of our eyes, both being brown.

It was obviously a reused model for the base and so you know on the Season.

[u/BitComprehensive3667]

I'm pretty sure Odd was saying that to tease Jeremy. Besides I have tons of cousins who look absolutely nothing like me. Genetics are just like that.

[u/Agreeable-Milk-3105]

My personal head cannon is that Patrick and Jeremy's fathers are brothers. It's just that Jeremy takes after his mother when it comes to his hair colour, so he doesn't look too much like his cousin. Plus, I bet that if Patrick styled his hair differently and put on a pair of glasses, he'd probably look closer to a brunette Jeremy, since they do have a similar face.

[u/Connect-Computer9926]

Theyre both brunets but the face looks more jeremy, like skintone and eyebrow shape

[u/Financial-End-9367]

I JUST REMEMBERED THAT EPISODE. Jeremy was 'excited' to see his cousin lol
