The Mag7 fandom needs glasses.

Seriously, the Magnificent Seven fandom? Still crazy.

Going by Michael Biehn and Anthony Starke's ages, Chris Larabee is 41 years old when introduced on the show, and Ezra Standish a mere 7 years younger at 34 years old. Also, while Chris is 6 foot (= 1.83 meters), Ezra is 5 foot 10 inches (= 1.78 meters) tall. Plus, if I remember that scene from episode 2x09 - "Achilles" correctly, Ezra is astonishingly muscular and bulky and most likely weighs at least as much as lean, rangy Chris, the few centimeters in height difference notwithstanding.

So where do these misconceptions come from?

Ezra isn't all huge green eyes and younger than even JD, neither is he small and delicate. He's a fully grown man who should pack a harder punch than Chris, if push came to shove. Or knock Chris on his ass if need be.

We're not comparing Frodo Baggins and the freakin' T-800 here, so please, writing Ezra as a slender maiden and Chris as a brick shithouse? Is totally OOC or, to put it bluntly: entirely divorced from reality.

That always makes me curse out sycophantic cliques in fandom, fanon that develops a life of its own, and superficial authors.

Are you sure you're not my evil twin? Maybe we were separated at birth?

OTOH, perhaps I'm the evil one ...

Seriously, I agree utterly, entirely and wholeheartedly!
