Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Piccolo, etc. barely look any different after the timeskip. The only major changes are Goten and Trunks are young adults.
Well, Bulma would also look noticeably older, which I guess wouldn't be too good for her "sex appeal".
I was gonna say the same thing
Most likely this is actually the case. Although, I don't see why we couldn't have newer younger characters to fill the spaces needed to appeal to different crowds. But even Tenshinhan, Piccolo, Yamcha, Krillin, and others would also be very old and probably not be able to play the roles believably like they could if they were younger. Although, I would love to see the cast aged to that extent. It's kinda like growing old with them.
EDIT: Dark Prince got this exact point from the source! There you go.
Also, 50 year old women still look really old. Sure make-up and digital camera filters can hide age (these days), but seriously, 50 plus people tend to age very quickly (think of it like puberty, but for older folks). Men and women, if exercising and keeping a decent diet can still look fine into their 40s, but generally by their 50s, tend to age very quickly within that decade. And even if the body is kept fit, skin still wrinkles and sags, some worse than others, but it is impossible to prevent completely (as is with hair greying/thinning/balding). Also, by their 50s, the average person tends to lose 1 inch of height.
Look at Ric Flair. He looked fine up until he hit his 50s. He had a thick head of hair, his face barely aged when compared to how he looked in his 20s when he was in his 40s. But, in his 50s he aged rapidly. Within a year of his 54th year it seemed as if he aged 10 years (this would be 2003). By 2005, he looked like a different person. His hair was thinning rapidly and his body became compressed. I believe he had surgery on his face to get rid of wrinkles in late 03, there is still a massive amount of aging he did in his 50s. Compare him from 2002 (he looked as he did in the 80s) to 2006. His aging process took over considerably. It is quite shocking actually.
Another person who aged rapidly in their 50s was Dave Mustaine. Same thing happened to him as Flair. Rapid aging within his 50s. It almost seemed like he never aged while he was in his 40s. Yet, by his 50s, experienced massive aging (especially in the face).
I implore anyone to check out people from 49 years old to their late 50s. I assure you that this quick aging process happens to everyone. Hence, it's why people in their 40s experience a 'mid-life crisis" for their youthful looks and physical conditions will deteriorate rapidly in their 50s even if they are healthy.
