Like, I'm fine if you want to be this young, beautiful wizard lady, but I don't care how talented you are, I will not accept your character to be stronger than my old grumpy sorcerer who has been practicing the dark arts for twice the years she has.
This, actually.
I'm more likely to squint at characters who are still incredibly young/etc and are somehow these masters of a craft. Not that it can't happen, of course, it's just a major story-telling pitfall I think a lot of people fall into... Plus the "child prodigy" angle can get very precariously OP very quickly if not handled well. (And it almost never is.)
