No, this trend isn't new, and it occurs outside the US as well. Older actors playing younger characters is the RULE, not the exception. This is especially or also true for MALE roles, not just females.

Yes, girls become more feminine when they get 14-18. In the first movie she was like NINE or ten years old, so.... Her style moved naturally with both character and actress.

Why do you have a problem with multi ethnic and strong female story lines? Strong females have in fashion for the last 25 years, ever since Xena and Buffy, and perhaps before that too. And maybe YOU live in a lily white town, without people of color, but most ofthe world doesn't.

Why is this worrisome? Don't worry, you're not ACTUALLY beng colonized by America, they can barely manage their own country. And it doesn't sound like you live in a country where political correctness is a thing, so again: don't worry.

The ESSENCE of PC is to be POLITE to other groups who have DISPROPORTIONATELY less power. Yes the idea is powersharing, why would that be so bad? This means all groups but white males (and some types of christians) who even in 2020 have 90% of the worlds cash and power and top jobs. Yes, other groups demand their piece of the pie. Which is a good idea, seeing how Us white males have thoroughly screwed up this world
