Dude, his daughters comment to him about his mental age was NOT meant as an insult or accusing him of being mentally handicapped..she was reffering to the fact that in their dynamic family of just the two of them, she was the more MATURE one and he sort of stayed immature, like a big kid, not adopting the “Father” persona but more of a “buddy” “Big brother” relationship..again, you are reading WAAAY too much into this shit and you have that DEAD wrong bro lol. It was never mentioned again in the movie because it was NOT a plot point to be “explored”..it was a daughter telling her Father that he is very immature and to give him an example of how immature he acts sometimes, she says she became MORE mature than him (figuratively speaking of course!!!) by the age of 11. Fore real dude, how do you enjoy any movies you watch with this kind of mind set of picking apart EVERY single TINY inconsequential thing?

Most of that’s actually Ben Affleck picking it apart, not me, and he was in the thing. Also this is a quote, “I understand that you were handicapped by a natural immaturity and I forgive you.” So “handicapped” “natural immaturity”… I think I’m right buddy; he was supposed to be mentally handicapped.
