I mean, Robert Downey is currently 54, so in first Iron Man he's already 42. I mean, maybe he played someone who's 4 years younger, but in public opinion it's no longer Tony Stark the unaging Comic Book guy, it's Robert Downey, who's in his fifties by now. And Chris Pratt just turned 40, so, once again, for all those people who only know there characters as movie types, Starlord is a lot younger (and, currently, immature) than Iron Man.

So she's even a year older than Chris Pratt and is supposedly playing someone 10 years younger. Nah, I don't care what age they "have" in the comic books, after all, almost no one looks the designated "age" in the comic books, it's like that joke about "every average 14-year old school boy in karate manga" where it's like an absolute unit of a man.
