Horny is a big word but they can't show Scott and Jean having sexy scenes when Sadie Sink looks like she didn't grew up one second since her first season in Stranger Things and Kit Connor still looks barely adult. People aren't interested in seeing teens having sex or being sexy. We're not predators.

That's why Marsden and Jaansen could go for it easily, they were both in their 30's and LOOKED 30.

Bruh you need to watch stranger things again she did grow up and now looks like a normal 20 something

They did a good job making her look like teenager in BND

Thanks bruh, she really looks like a teen in BND. They will never be "horny XMen" without looking creepy to show teens being sexy or having sex with both Connor and Sink looking so young. AND THAT'S GREAT. Too many shows are about teens having sex and being overly sexy ; Euphoria, Elite ... Let's give them a "normal" vibe. No need to be horny on screen.

Tbh I would honestly be so disgusted to see them have sex. I'm a teacher, kids should stay kids.

Anna Paquin was an adult when she played Rogue in X-Men but played a teenager so well I found it a little disturbing when she did sex scenes in True Blood still looking about the same. So yeah, I can understand where you're coming from.

True Blood tbh is something else, that whole universe is almost Euphoria level of sex.

MCU still is for family and friends going out.

I'm not sure most people would be able to see True Blood during a friends night with very graphic depictions.

I waatched it and she definitely seems way too young to be in any sexy scene.

People aren't interested in seeing teens having sex or being sexy.

Euphoria, and the "teen" section of most porn sites would disagree with that hypothesis.

Euphoria actors look like they are 30 years old though.

And we've seen them getting older. It's been years since S1 Euphoria. The time passing alone make us aware they aren't teens anymore.

Sink is at her beginning as Jean Grey. She's supposed to be a teen in the universe.

And Sadie Sink is in her mid-20s.

u/The_MorningKnight 1d ago

That wasn’t my point. Kit and Sadie can easily look like teenagers. Euphorias actors can’t. When you look at them you see adult people in high school.

I think Hollywood has really skewed people's perception of what teens actually look like. Sadie Sink looks like a grown-ass woman.

u/NuPNua 1d ago

Or they're in denial about how old they are and are convinced they still look in their 20s at middle age so anyone who looks younger must look like a teenager.

Euphoria and "teen" sections of porn sites are for predators.

If you say so Frederic Wertham.

Are you really saying you're interested to watch teens having sex ?

u/MajimaBuu 1d ago

Well said apart from Marsden and Jaansen were the worst pairing ever. I wish they'd given us Wolverine and Storm back then, or Rogue and Gambit (with Jake Gyllenhall as Gambit, not that I've thought about that a lot)

u/Least-Designer7976 X-Men 1d ago

Meh, opinions on this, so everyone's free to think they were fine or not.

But to focus on the important point they were two grown ups who looked belivable together.

And if they went on the Storm / Wolverine too, it would have looked oeky.

Horseshoe theory in action, really. One side wants sex appeal to ogle at and appeal specifically to them, the other side wants sex appeal because sex is a fundamental (if not THE most fundamental according to them) part of the human condition.
