From YKTTW Working Title: Tall Dark And Handsome
Also Sprach Odin: Someone brought up a good point:
- Lelouch and Suzaku are 5'10" and 5'9" respectively... Unless that's suddenly not considered tall.
Seven Of Diamonds: Well, I can only speak for Americans, but average height for white and black men here is about 5'10", and for Asian and Hispanic Americans it's a little shorter (5'7"-5'8"). Personally I think of 6'2" as the cut off for "tall" but that's not going to work for this. I would say the minimum (at least for white and black guys) should be 6 feet (though most people I know would still consider that fairly average). Also, it should be mentioned that people look taller on camera than they are in real life, and most movies intentionally use camera angles, wardrobe, etc. to make the leading man look as tall as possible.
And of course, Lelouch puts on enough inches to stand eye-to-eye with Xingke (6'3") when he puts on his mask. Or maybe that's the wonders of high heels...?
Man Without A Body: Removed the picture, because it was confusing, over-reliant on what I assume to be inside jokes, not a picture of Sirius Black in any way I could understand, and, frankly, Nightmare Fuel. Why can't we get Clarke Gable or someone?
