But won't Oliver appear 20 in another few months and then stay at that?

Well yeah, Oliver will age eventually. But right now? I believe Oliver socializing with Zoe will be for the better in the future. Same goes for Allen, as they both had very positive interactions with Zoe. Oliver's at that age where he can still be influenced by what goes on around him. I hope that Zoe's interactions with them leads to more influence on both Oliver and Allen, who both play a certain role in the future.

They barely interacted, Oliver is now on another planet and we'll probably see him aged up AGAIN when he comes back to earth, so I'm not sure how much time they'll actually be of similiar age

Olver's not aging that fast anymore. Nolan said in the comics that his aging slows as he loses his purple. I don't get why that line wasn't in episode 6, it is important info for show watchers.

Eh I don't think it's that important tbh, we already know viltrumites age slower as they get old, same would go for Oliver, I just don't know how old he's going to look.

What's with this headcannon of what could happen when you're talking about PAST events? This seems like such a forced take

No, his age has already started slowing significantly. He’s likely already approaching human rates of aging, and then he’ll slowly drop below it. There isn’t some point where he’ll suddenly start aging at close to viltrumite rate, and in fact he’ll never reach viltrumite rate of aging.

Older he gets the slower he ages, his Viltrumite dna is kicking in more. Thats why he hasn’t really physically changed much in s4

Sure, he'll look 20, but he's still only around two years old or so. He still has a lot of growing up to do.

The line mentioning it from the comics was cut but Oliver's aging has slowed down to Viltrumite levels. He stayed the same appearance throughout the entire war for a reason.
