I think one of my favourite things about billy is that he is simultaneously babey and a little badtard (affectionate). Also love how despite poking fun at other characters for not aging you cant really age him up? Defeats the whole point in a way if he's not a ridiculously powerful 10 yo
literally like if that freaky little fella isn't an absolutely overpowered little baby god thing then i don't want him!
also there's the original idea behind billy that kids are our most distinguished heroes! they're wise and strong and they want to do the right thing, and we can learn from the youth in areas of kindness and empathy and that's billy's whole thing. which is way more philosophical then this calls for i think but it's also real and i know you'll understand crumpet <3.
but yeah if that guy who wields the power of the gods isn't also a tiny little fella just a devious little guy then it's not billy
the idea of a dude just becoming a different, bigger dude isn't NEARLY as incredible as the baby becoming a fuckin demigod. billy batson is genuinely the character ever for real
