Aged Down

Aged Down is a term that refers to the practice of portraying a character in a work of art as younger than they are in their original canon. This can be done for a variety of reasons, such as to explore the character's backstory or to create a new interpretation of the character. Aged Down can be applied to any type of character, from superheroes to historical figures to fictional characters from popular media. One of the most common ways that Aged Down is used is in fan art. Fans of a particular character or franchise will create their own artwork that depicts the character as a child or teenager, often with a different personality or backstory than what is presented in the original canon. This can be a way for fans to explore different aspects of the character's personality or to create their own version of the character that they can relate to more closely. Aged Down can also be used in professional works of art, such as movies or television shows. For example, in the movie X-Men: Apocalypse, the character of Jean Grey is portrayed as a teenager, even though she is an adult in the original comic book. This was done to explore the character's backstory and to introduce her to a new generation of fans. Overall, Aged Down is a creative tool that allows artists and writers to explore different aspects of a character's personality and backstory. Whether it is used in fan art or in professional works of art, Aged Down can provide a fresh perspective on familiar characters and help to keep them relevant for new generations of fans.
