#im rewatching rn too and i keep GASPINGGGG when i notice a detail

[bikerboyfriend]

but yeah Nope was definitely made for lovers of cinema, books, comics, etc. Just to name a few references that I noticed on first watch:

Jordan paying homage to AKIRA(1988) having Emerald do the iconic Akira slide which has been referenced for over three decades (cr: oldschoolfrp)

Jean Jacket's design and 'transformation' being reminiscent to many ppl of the Angels from Neon Evangelion Genesis (1995)

The house covered in blood taking a lot of people back to the elevator scene from The Shining (1980)

The shot of Grody and Jupe's fist bump is also probably a reference to E.T. (1982) ....which is obviously then referencing the The Creation of Adam by Michaelangelo

like this was so fun
