Why does she talk like she's half her age?

because out-of-touch writers dont know what young girls actually sound like

Because it's written by people like this.

Give it a few decades and comics will start using words like "Fleek".

The writer has probably not had a child or has ever talked to one for more than two seconds

Because her parents are psychics and she learned to manipulate people.

Why do you?

>>85274684
autism

>>85274684
Molly pretends to be a dumb toddler to disarm people.

>>85276824
That may have been true at some point
But writers forgot that and now she is just an annoying idiot

They didn't really touch on this much and you'd think she'd act less fake in front of the other Runaways if that was the case.

>>85274684
How old is she?

>>85278394
ten I think

>>85276956
I stopped reading this pretty early, so I can only really comment on the first two volumes or so.

>>85274684
I think one of the points about her was that she was coddled compared to the others.

Preach. I now wish she was in Avengers Arena, they wouldn't have offed her, and all her appearances since then have been shit.

She was 11 in te first series, IIRC.
Must be at least 12 by now, even in Marvel time

>>85279236
It was pretty funny when Wolverine pretended not to recognize the name of the 12-year-old who pushed his shit in.

>>85278394
About 12

>>85274684
So they'd care for her?
She might be supersmart and superstrong, but this seems to be the only family she's got.

Because writers, by and large, suck at writing kids appropriately.

I like how she was totally flat-chested for a few volumes, then some random manga-esque artist came in and gave her a huge rack.

Seeing a kid with huge tits talk like a six year old is just disarming.

>>85274684
looks like downs syndrome to me OP

What's a comic that has realistically written child characters? IE not retarded like Molly, or not just wise-cracking midgets like every other depiction

>>85274684
Originally it was her way of seeming cutesy or just kind of regressing or whatever; it was mostly an act. Naturally subsequent writers completely missed this and treat her like she's a 6-year-old.

As far as writers are concerned if you're under 16 you behave like an eight year old, and if you're 16+ you behave like you're 25 until you hit 90 and either become senile or behave like you're 40.

-unless it's a jap writer, then you're 30 as soon as you hit 10, until you die.

Because she's developmentally disabled, obciously.

She was Marvel's first Riri.
