if you aren't already. As we move forward in time, these characters' birth dates will be retconned to be more & more recent, so that they can perpetually remain in their 20s & 30s. In the next 15 years, Batman will have been born in 2002 and spent much of his youth on social media.

The thing that really fucking blew my mind was that, when I was 14, April O'Neal was 28. When I was 28, April was 14.

There was never a point in my life in which we would've been compatible. :(

Yep. They're generally vague on Spidey's age but he's probably still not hit 30 yet.

At least for Punisher he will ALWAYS be older. He's always going to be a Vietnam vet, no matter what.

I don't think this will be an issue for Steve Rogers.
No they just have him frozen in the ice longer.

A lot of us will be older than Homer and Marge Simpson in a few years.

According to Nintendo, Mario is younger than me.

Nintendo can fuck off with that.

It's weird to think of Mario as having an actual age. Especially since Bob Hoskins was around 50yrs old when he played him.

Yeah - I always thought of Mario as in his 40s when I was a kid.

But apparently he's in his 20s.

Kind of on topic...
I'm now older than pretty much all the doctors I see.
It was really odd the first time it happened, I'm used to it now.

This is the one that comes to mind most. A lot of us were either very young or not even born yet when The Simpsons first aired. We grew up looking at Homer--this bald, beer-guzzling fat guy with a wife and kids--and saw him as someone deep into his adulthood -- not exactly old, but not particularly young either. Even as 20-somethings, we saw characters like Homer as being comfortably older than us; we were young and full of life while folks in his age group were more world-weary and settled-down. But now...

Yeah, as shown in Yoshi's Island DS, he's around the same age as Peach, who is definitely in her 20's at most.

I actually dislike that Mario is canonically 25. I feel he should be AT LEAST 30, but ideally 33-37.

"Oohhh my back, Mama Mia!", exclaims Mario as he jumps on someone's pet turtle.

Lmao Mario could be out here proving that you can still be in excellent shape even well into your 30s, but noooo. He'd rather just be another typical, as-expected 20-something.

You don't get facial hair like that at 25.

It's probably for the best though. Otherwise, people would complain about the age difference between Mario and Peach.

Maybe Peach should be 25 and Mario should be 30? I think that would work out.
