Hope everyone isn't getting too bogged down by the holiday season! Here's a prompt to hopefully liven things up around here some! What is your favorite METHOD of age progression from TV, film, stories etc.?
Some examples might be like an AGE RAY; An AGING CURSE; An AGE SWAP etc. Get as specific as you can - use examples if you've got 'em!
I think one of my favorites has to be the UNIVERSAL REMOTE as means of aging people. The Chronos Continuum by Nomdreserv was one of the first stories I ever read that involved age progression and the idea of having a remote that could change anyones age or any aspect of their age gave me goosebumps! I love the infinite possibilities that a remote provides in terms of the transformations.
If you're interested in reading the story I mentioned above you can read it here it involves multiple Male and Female AR & AP of various types: old.ararchive.com/classic/nomdreserv/nomdreserv.html

Age ray, without a doubt, is my favorite. I love when a monster/villian/supernatural is able to age a women with a ray. Charmed, Power Rangers and numerous others have done this very well. Coming in close at second is aging through physical contact, as in age draining. While not exactly aging, the Supergirl episode featuring Parasite as the villain has a nice effect towards the end of the episode where Supergirl is drained. During: screencapped.net/tv/supergirl/albums/season2/206/spg206_1676.jpgAftermath: screencapped.net/tv/supergirl/albums/season2/206/spg206_1691.jpgAge curse is interesting, but usually results in the "next-morning discovery" which takes away from a good transformation. However, one of my favorite age curse scenes is from "House of Anubis," where one of the main character girls is aged via prosthetic makeup. It's not the best, but still very effective. The actress actually does a pretty good job of making her voice sound slightly older without seeming goofy. visibletime.ararchive.com/_House_of_Anubis1_.jpg

While I do like the ray and curse aspects to the aging of an individual or group, a reverse AR virus type deal I also really appreciate; honestly this aging fetish for me started with a movie called Do or Die. Essentially a virus that causes intense aging in individuals runs rampant and a young woman has to save the world. Problem though, there are only a two good sequences in the movie...still decent though.

Problem though, there are only a two good sequences in the movie...still decent though. I LOVED this movie. I taped it when it first aired and still have it on VHS somehwere in my parent's basement. The two scene's you're talking about are the ones at around the 10:30 mark and the 57:30 mark correct? I'm thrilled that the full thing is viewable on youtube but I agree, I wish there had been more transformation scenes. It was kind of fun in the scene around 25 minutes in with the middle aged woman clearly acting like a 15 or 16 year old. I also wish there had been more of that. Mark - thanks for sharing the Supergirl episode. I hadn't been aware of that and it definitely is reminiscent of AP even if it isn't as blatant as the comic book fight between Supergirl and Parasite: vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/marvel_dc/images/6/61/Supergirl_Vol_4_35.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20090111164407

The best would be an inborn age controlling ability.
