He prefers mature, responsible heroes who are wise above their years. And his paragraphs there were more easily followable there.

My rebuttal to you not wanting them to be concerned with things like relationship drama and fitting in is baseless in this show because that's simply what people in their age range deal with, things they honestly should deal with at that age, being a natural part of life (and when done right, can give us glimpse into their character).

When you have a child/teen character that acts the way you are describing, that character usually has had horrible shit happen to them to make them that way (either that or they were sheltered, and that doesn't make them mature by default, if anything it'd make them timid and/or self-righteous), and it's not as normal as you'd think. A child character who is like that has been robbed of a happy childhood in that scenario.

Remember Batman in Justice League Unlimited when the League was turned into children? Wonder why he was the only one still acting like his older self? It was because he was never a child because he saw his parents get gunned down. And that's not a good thing, it's terrible for him to live through.

TL;DR: Don't expect teen characters to always act like adults when they aren't/shouldn't.
