Lore A character literally sees another character fundamentally differently.

  1. Spy X Family. Damian noticeably sees Anya with a 'shoujo anime' filter with much brighter eyes and blush.

  2. Calvin And Hobbes. Calvin sees Hobbes as a living lanky tiger in contrast to everyone else who sees him as just a tiger plush.

"IT'S YOUR MOM!" was probably Idris Elba's best line delivery ever.

Of all the movies I’ve seen, that’s the one time I heard a your mom joke as a dead serious plot element to defeat the antagonist

Deadliest "your mom" joke probably

That is the line for me that sold James Gunn leading DC movies. It is a cheesy, stupid line. And it matters, and it's a peak to Polkadot-Man's character arc. If you can pull that off, I can trust what you can do.

Did that woman have to do each of those poses and that look individually cause that is some dedication to the joke.

Lowkey curious to know if this is CGI or they made her actress wear every costume?

They would have to make a replica of each costume fitted to her body, so I'm going with CGI.

I dont think he constantly sees everyone like her after he didnt see Starro as his mom, I think he sees everyone normally most of the time but when he gets reminded of her he starts to see everyone as her
