Homelander Effect

When an actor, like Antony Starr, melds into their role so perfectly, like Homelander, the two identities are inseparable. May or may not dictate acting career to similar characters in other movies, shows or videogames. Other examples are Giancarlo Esposito as Gustavo Fring, RDJ as Tony Stark, and Arnold Schwarzenegger as The Terminator.
Friend one: I saw Antony Starr across the street last week and was lowkey scared that he was going to fly into the air and Lazer eye someone
Friend two: ah, classic Homelander Effect.

Putin Effect

Unintentional reverse psychology, where threats made to get someone to obey you instead causes them to go against you.

Origin: Putin threatened to use military force & nuclear weapons against Finland & Sweden, to prevent them from applying for NATO membership. The two countries realized that they could not defend themselves against nukes & the entire Russian military if they stood alone, leading to them joining NATO.

Ergo threats meant to subdue these countries caused them to stand up against Russian imperialism.

-"Well, that's the Putin effect for you."
