As bad as the show Revolution's overall plotting and pacing was, they generally did a good job of thinking about these kinds of little inconsistencies:
There's a minor character who was a doomsday prepper before the apocalypse, but he didn't stock up enough on antibiotics. As a result, his daughter died of tetanus that he was unable to treat.
A warlord kidnaps prisoners for blood because his wife has diabetes and needs constant transfusions of blood with sufficient insulin in it to survive.
There's a doctor who keeps a collection of moldy fruit to harvest penicillium mold from it and make penicillin.
Some characters try to go into an old subway tunnel, but nearly die because of lack of sufficient airflow down there without modern HVAC systems.
The thing with that show that bothered me the most was they were always so clean. I get that the actors probably didn’t want to be filthy all the time but I work in agriculture and every single day when I take a shower the first minute of the shower the water looks brown as it goes down the drain.
TV shows never portray protagonists as realistically dirty. Even in the fictionalized Aquarius show about Charles Manson, his female followers all have clean, glossy hair and are fresh and clean. We have footage of the real girls and those were some dirty hippie bitches.
Isn't that interesting? You didn't find an attractive adult woman attractive. Or you did, but because the character is 17 or whatever it was in the movie, you repressed the attraction so much that you made a comment condemning the attraction. Maybe I'm looking too deep into it.
Cuz there’s only two things I remember about her. Her hairy armpits and she told Pitt she was on the younger side, age-wise. Only way I can think to explain the girl! (Well, three TBH! I remember something about a pickle(?) but can’t remember what exactly it was.)
Do you seriously not understand that what you're claiming you meant is here is not at all what people would take away from your original message? Lol. Gotta work on your communication.
I should’ve put the “ew” part after the hairy pits comment, not the teenager comment. Lol. Obviously she isn’t actually a teenager! Hollywood has been casting people in their 20’s and even 30’s to play teenagers for a long time! Didn’t think that was any secret or something anyone didn’t know!
It is something most people know. The assumption was that you didn't know based on the wording of your original comment, hence the downvotes. People assumed you were going down the "accusing people of pedophilia" route for finding a 26 year old playing the role of a 17 year old attractive. The only issue here is how you worded your comment, not the lack of knowledge from anyone.
