True and valid. It's just that they made him such a schlub I'm the TV show. This Fred Flintstone seems like he could go toe to toe with a superhero.
That's just Clark Kent in a post-apocalyptic timeline/universe.
I think people just got tired of the schlubby guy with the smoking hot wife trope, but they also don't want to see a schlubby wife so you just make Fred ripped instead.
The in-comic explanation, IIRC, is that their entire society had transitioned in a single generation from hunter gatherers to… whatever you would call the setting of The Flintstones, lmao. So he grew up being menaced by wild animals and constantly being on the move and shit.
