Kid Hero vs Enfant Terrible age-wise

Now, Kid Hero is the opposite of Enfant Terrible, yet kid hero can go as high as teenage age. So shouldn't Enfant Terrible be extended to teenage age?

Opposite tropes are often not exact opposites, and there's no reason for them to be either, unless they actually depend on each other.

Besides, changing tropes is TRS matter.

Enfant terrible refers to babies and that, methinks.

It sounds like it's referring to a baby, but I checked the laconic and it says, "An evil youngster (usually from 8-17 years of age)." This is a small issue so I don't think we need a TRS to resolve it.

Laconics are always wrong, but the description isn't better.

This would be TRS work, yes.

I don't understand what that page has to do with laconics or why we have them if they're always wrong but oh well. So this is worth a limited TRS slot?

Laconics aren't literally always wrong, but enough of them are that it's turned into a borderline running gag on the forums.

Laconics are to get a quick idea about what the trope is about. It's not about defining the trope. Laconics are often wrong in the details, but they still usually tell you what you should try to get from the sometimes obtuse description of the trope.

Fetus Terrible is about evil babies, not this trope.

Sounds like "infant", but "enfant" means "child" in French.

So, should we add Jack Spicer from Xiaolin Showdown here?

We also have Teens Are Monsters and Kids Are Cruel.

Holy necro, Batman!
