Canon ages in cartoons piss me off because what do you mean this guy is 16? Have you seen a 16 year old?And don't tell me people age faster because they have a shorter life expectancy, there are several named characters who lived until 80-100+, and there is evidence that the average life expectancy is very similar to our world today, especially for royalty.
>>150196807I'm pretty tired of this recent online phenomena where we pretend a teenager/adult is way older than the age they are stated to be in canon. By 15 I had a beard dude.I reckon this all comes from a fear of aging and pushing milestones forward so by pretending Zuko actually seems more like he's 27 or something it makes you (OP) feel better about your lot in life.
You're those fags who go ALL CHARACTERS ARE 18+ in your fanfics ain't ya? Or ALL CHARACTERS ARE 18+ in your fanart
This is an 18 year old.
>>150196845No this is mostly because they want to fuck the underage character and do not want to be marked as the pedo they areLoli/shotafags have a lot of ways they try to pull out justification
>>150196880Most lolifags and shotafags don't care how old the character is because they're confident in themselves enough to not give a shit unlike normalfags.
>>150196807Stress ages a person like crazy
>>150196845> I feel selfconscious about a fictional 16 year old cartoon character being more handsome than meYes. That's totally why I made this post, retarded nigger
>>150196807The cartoon is for 12 year olds he’s supposed to be older and hotter to them
>>150196864She needs to wash her hair.
>>150196807Zuko is canonically 5'3. Are you 16? I recently rewatched the show and was taken aback how short all the main cast and Zuko are. They legit look like the kids they are. Either you're an underage fag and think they look mature from your perspective or porn and out of character fan wank has warped your perception of these characters. Zuko is a boy and looks like it. At least to normal adults
>>150196845In high scholl i met 15 yead olds who look like they're 30 and I met 15 years olds who like they're 10. People age differently, it's not that deep.Pic related is John Cena with a disney actor who are the same age, they're both 31 in the picture.
>>150196807Zuko' hairstyle in the first two season make him look older than he actually is.
>>150198237It's probably intentional so the viewer has less sympathy for him early on in the series. People tend to sympathize more with kid characters than adult ones in these kinds of shows. It's also probably why Azula looks and acts a lot older than she actually is.If Zuko kept the bald look for the rest of the show he would not have had a fraction of the fangirls he has today.
>>150198171>>150198225>canonically 5'3you do realize he spends the majority of the show around his very short uncle, and a bunch of 12 year olds right? Him being short won't be noticed by most viewers.But even then, he does not sound or act like a 16 year old, and I should know, me and all my friends were one once (am 22)I also don't watch porn
>>150198358>Is constantly angry and angsty>Insults his elders, Iroh, constantly >Is impatient and desperately wants to be taken seriously >Acts irrational and doesn't think things through at the worst times>spergs out when he doesn't get his wayThis is not how a well adjusted adult acts. This is how a maladjusted teenager acts. Hell it's how a typical teenager acts if we're being honest. >am 22This explains a lot. You don't actually know how an adult is supposed to act like. Being angsty and broody is not a sign of maturity, only teenage girls and emotionally stunted manchildren think otherwise.
>>150196807>>150198171why is iroh such a midget when every other male in the royal family grows up to be like a solid 6'4 anyway
>>150196807Azula is even worse. An 18 year old looking 14 year old.
At a certain point you must realize that what you're doing is no different than looking at Bugs Bunny and getting upset because rabbits don't look like that.
>>150198816Maybe different moms? Maybe Azulon liked fucking around and accidentally got a servant pregnant or something and had to put one in his fire lady to make up for his oopsie daisy. Maybe Iroh's hypothetical commoner mom probably had trash genetics
>>150198879It's the makeup
>>150199017if that's the case then it's kinda ironic how the father seemingly ended up treating the bastard child better out of the two
>>150199287Maybe Azulon geniunely loved Iroh's hypothetical commoner mom and only married Ozai's mom out of political obligation. I know this is just pure head canon but it would explain a lot about why Azulon had a hate boner for his younger son despite him being stronger.
>>150196807He looks 16, he just doesn't sound like it.
>>150196807He looks his age when his hair fully grows in.
>>150198748So you are simultaniously saying that it is perfectly reasonable for him to be 16, since he acts like it, then you say I am still basically a child, while I'm 22. So why tf didn't they make him 22 then if they're the same to you?
>>150200805Kek. That flew over your head huh? I'm saying you are an emotionally stunted man child which is why you can't recognize that Zuko is and acts very much like a teenager.
>>150196807>Have you seen a 16 year old?Have you? Men shave at 16. They drive and drink and go to war at 16.
>>150199388Eeh, I think that's a tad bit too far-fetched, since we know jackshit about Ozai's past, but I dont picture him as a guy with many friends or relationships either considering he only goes out of the palace like twice in ten years, you've got to take in mind stuff like that Iroh was the only one between the two siblings that went out to defend his country and despite his past, he's clearly always been a better person than Ozai.
Twitter has completely brainwashed the easily influencedThey used to be called “teenage dreamboats” for a reason. One Direction were all 16/17 when “what makes you beautiful” came out
>>150196807friendly reminder that according to zuko's statements in the show, he was actually in 15 at the start
>>150196807Zuko is 5'3. He'd better be 16 at that height, otherwise that's pretty sad.
>>150201731I mean he's also technically asian. That's like average height for them.
>>150198816he grows sideways instead
>>150201731>>150201927he is but wasnt he taller than korra when he showed up as an old man anyway? or we're not counting TLOK as canon again?
>>150201631...#notallmen
>>150196807You is upset about the ages?
>>150196850/thread
>>150202091They all had late growth spurts, even Aang, who only ate vegetables and onions products. He should've been a manlet due to the lack of nutrition.
>>150204624It was at the cost of fucking up his entire skull structure just so he could look like you know who
Tiny little firebender girl
>>150205533She will get bigger when she grows up (cope)
>>150198358He's got plenty of interaction with his crew and Zhao in season 1, and he's small compared to them. >>150198879She looks roughly the same age as Suki(who is 15).
>>150196807Out of the many examples you pick the one show where everyone actually does looks their age. You are a complete retard OP
>>150205891It would be kinda funny of she was stuck at 5' while Zuko got his LoK growth spurt that put him at 6'5" or so.
>>150198816>why is iroh such a midget when every other male in the royal family grows up to be like a solid 6'4 anywayKorra is not canon.
>And don't tell me people age faster because they have a shorter life expectancy,That's not how "shorter life expectancy" worked. People weren't shriveling up and dying of old age in their 30s, its just that high infant mortality rates drove down the average. Even lower class people had good odds of hitting their 60s/70s if they survived early childhood.
>>150196807Yes. He looks 16 to me.
>>150198358>he does not sound or act like a 16 year oldHe does. He's been through a lot, so that's why he carries himself differently.There's plenty of introverted, broody 16 year olds.
>>150196807He's Chinese, they look the same from puberty until they turn 65.
>>150196883This. The "SHE'S ACTUALLY A 1000 YEAR OLD VAMPIRE" meme didn't come from lolicons/shotacons defending their fetish. They were mocking hypocrites who think 17 year olds with D-cups shouldn't be sexualized but petite adults are also problematic.
