Are you saying we need to use older actors to help our imagination? All it did was cause people to not understand how people should look at certain ages as when actors started matching ages suddenly we noticed how much like babies teenagers are

The first complaint re fidelity I can remember was Bertolucci’s Sheltering Sky and the last was Death in Sandman. Creative works often require a surrendering to the material that some refuse prima facie due to whatever, this refusal disallows the truth fiction can contain. An obvious reminder that
this is fiction but contains truth, such as incongruous age correspondence, can serve as such a reminder. Or using an obvious puppet and ugly cgi for animal violence, bad physics in sci-fi. The point is people today aren’t as willing to surrender to the imagination as readily eg YouTube detractors.
Teen shows have way too much forbidden romance between teachers and students and people actively ship them because the actors are actually the same age so looks fine have age appropriate actors suddenly you see why it's gross and don't push that storyline
I don’t think people write things because they think it’s a good idea in real life. Otherwise Steven King would be in prison for encouraging people to become haunted cars.
I'm saying the audience never sees it as a problem due to the fact the actors are actually close in age making it easier to buy the "they're mature for their age" but having the actors match the age of the character then suddenly it's more visible
