Working Title: Really Seven Hundred Years Oldsplit: From YKTTW
Kriegsmesser: Moved the stuff about Ultraforce to Younger Than They Look, because that's what it is.
- Minnie-May Hopkins from Gunsmith Cats took "growth retarding" drugs in order to appeal to a certain type of clientele in a brothel. However, this is supposed to be squicky to the viewers. In the English translation, it squicked out the American editors so much they reversed it so she's taking drugs to COUNTER an unnamed medical condition. This editor finds it easier to stick to the later theory for peace of mind.
- This troper finds the above to be examples of sissified anime enthusiasts who won't work to oppose and reveal evil. People trying to look like lolicon bait is better than dissected-chan after all... (shudders) and may avoid such evil in the future.
Can anyone explain/translate the second post, preferably without my having to visit Encyclopedia Dramatica? —Document N
The following example was moved to Really 700 Years Old:
- Wuya from Xiaolin Showdown is over fifteen-hundred years old. Yet, she is very voluptuous, nubile and attractive. She even makes suggestive poses on the hood of a car she made for Raimundo after he joined her. Ironically, the other characters still refer to her as an old hag.
BritBllt: Removing this bit of natter...
- Of course, those toons don't age at all. He could have been created a few months earlier, with much the same behavior then as now.
Because, well, it's natter. But also because I don't remember the movie ever saying they don't age, or saying how they're created (since they have their own culture, segregated district and relationships, it seems to me like they can probably have children - just really zany, anthropomorphic-animal children). If we take Baby Herman at his word, then he's about 50 years old, but hasn't stopped looking like a baby.
I was considering adding the Mel Brooks character "The 2000 Year Old Man", but don't know where it would fit. The character has appeared in film, comedy albums, live TV, and animation. Or would this be better placed somewhere else? —Mighty JAK
