cornplate

When you're so obsessed with a piece of media that you start pointing out useless things. Derived from a popular tweet about Encanto that said, "I never noticed she was holding a plate with corn in this scene."

Not to cornplate but the thing in the bg in the mirror is a metaphor for how this character feels like the only person she can trust is herself and she's carrying the weight of every problem she's ever had because she can't bare to show any kind of weakness

cornplate

Used to describe pointing out a useless or insignificant detail in a piece of media, usually because of lack of new content from that media or because of the level of obsession one might hold for it.

The term derived from an Encanto fan account, in which they tweeted a screenshot of the movie captioned "I never realized she was holding a plate with corn in this scene", hence the term "cornplate".

Not to cornplate but i just think its cute that this character was eating in the background of this scene

cornplate

To point out an uninteresting or meaningless detail in a film.

The phrase originates from a Tweet in which someone was pointing out that in a specific shot in Encanto, Dolores was holding a corn plate.

This is my cornplate moment but I never noticed that she was holding a tennis ball in this scene

Cornplating

To point out irrelevant details when there's nothing else to say about something, usually a movie.

"I'm cornplating but did anyone notice this?"
"You guys are running out of things to say about this movie, y'all are cornplating"

Cornplating

A point in a fandom's life cycle where fans examine the tiniest, usually insignificant details in an effort to gather new information. Stems from an image on twitter of the character Dolores from Encanto holding a plate of corn in her hands, and the caption "I never realized she was holding a plate with corn in this scene."

"I was so desperate for hints at her backstory I started cornplating..."
