Person 1: Hey man, what’s wrong?
Person 2: I don’t know man, I’m getting mad barista syndrome from that girl at the bar.

A storytelling phenomenon in DC movies where the audience is dropped into a fully-formed universe without context, explanation, or emotional setup. Instead of gradually building the world, the film simply shows a snapshot of it and expects viewers to care — like staring through a cinematic window into a timeline that’s already been running for 10 seasons you never got to see.
Symptoms include:
Characters appearing fully developed with no origin story
Emotional payoff scenes with no emotional setup
Lore that’s clearly important but never explained
Constant feeling of “Wait, did I miss something?”
Needing to consult YouTube lore videos just to understand what you watched
