eww?

[tiina]

Why in clean slate Ron say " And she's older than THAT,eww a LOT older" what was that eww? This is allready the second time whe Ron got lines about Shego's age. Why?

[Guru Mandi (will return)]

Hm. Not sure, actually. He was probably either being imature or trying to tick her off at the moment.

[proudnintendofan]

Shego always struck me as being older than early 20's for some reason... maybe it's Nicole Sullivan's voice? *shrugs*

[zoza]

Just to make clear that she's old enough for even the more conservative viewer to not find it objectionable (age-wise) if she decides to date Drakken.

Ron thinking of Shego practically at his age grossing him out, considering she is pretty much older than he and Kim are, and also considering they're total enemies. ;D

[Whisper from the Shadows]

You know the river in Egypt, it's called "De Nial". Besides, Kim would so kick his arse if she caught him checking out Shego since they started dating (note: I haven't seen "Clean Slate" yet).

We know Ron isn't blind, remember when he first saw her:

Wade: OK. Look. I took that freeze-frame from the security camera. Her name is Shego. She?s wanted in 11 countries.
Ron: Make that 12. Grrr.

What confuses me more is Shego's comment afterward, "So I like the sun." What was that supposed to mean?

[jinxs]

i think it goes to her comment about she being a senior at HS not sure..

[Ninnik Nishukan]

Copy and paste from my FF net account (because I'm too lazy to write it all again):

As for Shego, I’m mostly basing her age on the fact that in Stop Team Go, she was actually interested in dating Steve Barkin, who has to be at least thirty-five or forty, and that Ron described her being older in such a way that it sounded like a big deal, but I’m also basing it on her voice, her looks, her confidence and attitude and her life experience. I mean, I really can’t see her as a teenager at all, like some people seem to think. One might say she acts kind of juvenile with how she’s always lounging about reading magazines, filing her nails or listening to hip hop, but if we were to put the character’s age down from their general behaviour, Drakken would be about thirteen-years-old; occasionally five. *smirks*

Shego’s at least twenty-five, but most likely older. She used to be a super hero for a good while, and she’s obviously been in the villain business for quite some time considering she’s wanted in eleven countries by season one already and considering how Drakken and Shego seem like they’ve known each other for a while. I wanna go out on a limb here and say that she’s twenty-nine, going on thirty. Call it the artistic liberty of a fanfic writer.

I agree-- Nicole Sullivan has a lot to do with it. Shego does sound older because of her. I'll amend my statement by saying 28-29 instead of 29-30, however.
Definitely late twenties, though, not mid or early, I'd say.


...and no, I'm not saying that because I support D/S, either.

Being in the sun too often might wrinkle your skin, hence making you look older. I LOL'ed at that. ;D

PS: The last little picture of Dr. D in your sig, hugging the PDVI, makes me squee. Cute.

Oh, that makes sense. But, wouldn't that imply that Ron is wrong though----that Shego's actually NOT that much older? You'd just think she is because of the wrinkly skin?

It's actually the can of synthoplasma, but thankees! ;D

[Ninnik Nishukan]

Nah, she doesn't actually have wrinkly skin, she's just worried that she does because she was thrown off balance by his comments.

No one likes to be told they look old, least of all by some kid. ;D

[Whisper from the Shadows]

I'd guess her to be 26-27, 8-9 years older than Kim and Ron. That would make her old enough to have graduated college with a teaching degree (while working with Team Go), and have established herself with the villain community. Young enough to still want to kick back and enjoy life, but old enough to respect maturity. And someone that is 26-27 would have no moral qualms about dating someone in their 30's (Mr. Barkin's age by my guess).

But number's are actually irrelevant in the exception of legal issues. You are only as old as you feel when you wake up in the morning, some days you feel 18 again, and others you feel 118.

And love is bad at math, so numbers really play no factor in love IMHO.

Oh, right, right *slaps forehead*. I knew it was from Mother's Day, so why on Earth did I think it was the PDVI? *double facepalm*

It doesn't play no factor, it does tend to complicate things at least a little, but it does matter a lot less than some people think, yes.

Yay, I'm someone's hero!

But, I'm serious, age has no bearing what-so-ever on whether or not people fall in love. The only time I feel age should be taken into account is for legal purposes, maturity (physical, mental, and[/b] emotional) is the only real factor.

EDIT: to Ninnik Nishukan, I do mean it plays no role. It only complicates things if people who don't have the maturity to accept the fact "love knows no age".

True that, brother. *slaps high five with you* You tell it straight up, G! Love conquers all! ALL I tell you!!

Anyway, I don't want this to get into a philosophical discussion about love, even though you and me are obviously right ;D , so, let's go on. Why would Ron be repulsed by the idea of Shego being close to their age? Maybe he dislikes her so much that he doesn't want to see her as relatable? I'm the same way with people I don't like.

I'm sticking with my denial theory, he's a red-blooded male, and Shego is obviously their world's personification of seduction.
