    Like I get it for kids shows. It's empowering for kids so whatever. But it gets weird in the shows for adults.

    huh

    this megaman zero kit claims the figure stands 5 inches tall and is 1/10th scale

    that means Zero is like 4 feet tall

    that seems... super short

    Is the actual toy manufacturer American? Might've been a rough estimate converting units.

    I see a kit that's 1/10th scale and 160mm, which translates to 5'3". Still short, but IIRC Megaman is supposed to be fairly young, so pretty reasonable.

    the manufacturer appears to be Japanese.

    MegaMan is a cyborg sort of thing, but Zero and X are full robots

    in japan if you make a robot child it is always more powerful than an adult sized robot

    Unless it is a giant sized robot piloted / controlled by a child.

    And also that robot will have a theme song sung by Ichirou Mizuki.

    What's the fascination with extremely young characters in anime?

    I guess it's just a cultural divide thing. As a kid, all my heroes were characters that were grown adults for the most part (or at the very least, teenaged as well as being mutants and ninjas).

    But so many anime titles (as well as Japanese games) feature really, really, really exceedingly young protagonists, and yet their age is rarely all that critical to the story being told. It's kinda weird.

    Like, as an example, most of the characters in final fantasy 12 were adults and had interesting stories or political motivations

    and then they make you play as a teenage boy who could not be less interesting

    actually this can be said about a lot of Japanese video games, it's really bizarre to me since this is media primarily consumed by adults. I assume the teenage protagonist is supposed to be kind of a cipher for the player, but idgi

    I really want to get to House of Cards but then again True Detective isn't gonna rewatch itself

    it really quickly became a show I like the feel of enough to just run it while I do other things.

    but I do wanna know what happens to kevin spacey.

    I'm sorry, Vice President Kevin Spacey

    Bart is normal and punk-ish. Lisa is normal and the reverse. It would be pretty typical japanese-y if they were child prodigies or savants.

    Raleigh-Durham isn't actually a bad place to be, if you're a tech person. NC is working pretty hard on getting a tech corridor set up there.

    Of course, I'm still disappointed that Orlando didn't get a highlight.
