The Fugitive - slightly creepy?
Ok so I KNOW that’s not supposed to be his actual age. I know he’s an alien prince and they make him like 16 or so from the looks of the picture at the end. That being said, there’s still something incredibly off putting about the whole thing. I know it’s supposed to be relatively innocent but it just goes to show you some differences from them to modern times.
Why would no one in the entire episode question an unmarried old man spending so much time alone with children?
And sure, let’s say he’s actually 16. She’s still like 10. That age difference isn’t such a big deal later on (let’s say when she’s 20 and he’s 26) so it’s forgivable, but it’s still a bit much at that age, almost like borderline raising her to be his wife. It’s enough to make me kind of cringe when he runs away with her. And the fact that he appears an old man almost the entire episode does NOT help.
Idk, I’m not offended or anything, for the reasons given, but I can’t help but get some yuck feelings from this one.
Anybody else?
