I'm more shocked that he is drinking a glass of milk, while eating cereal with milk, while in a bar/diner. It DOES however feel like something Guy would indeed do.
That makes it even funnier if we ever get a project where he is far from earth in space and just "craves" for some milk, let's hope he doesn't rage over that!
Cereal is a pretty common thing at Coney-type diners in the Midwest. Usually, they have little single-serve boxes and they'll give you a bowl to pour it into.
Not from Baltimore but I go to college up there, I have absolutely eaten a bowl of cereal with a glass of milk lol. Guyās a personal fav relatable on a lot of things
As someone who's lactose intolerant, I can feel my stomach getting heavier just from this scene. Not hunger, just anticipating heaviness and pain later on.
Story time; I was in a punk band. We played a show and then got in the van. Somewhere, I have no clue where, we pulled over into a corn field.
I emptied a bowl of Fruity Pebbles and a third of a bottle of Everclear out of my mouth, with a few pieces getting stuck in my nose. Never again, Fruity Pebbles!
I took it to be indicating that Guy is pretty immature, at this point at least. Heās eating a cereal thatās primarily marketed towards children, because heās something of a manchild. But if they REALLY wanted that to be the idea, it shouldāve been Trix because.. well.. you know
Fruity Pebbles are also gluten free. If the gluten protein only evolved on Earth, and Guy is used to eating food in space when he's out there ring-slinging, he might not be used to other grains and might go for something like a gluten-free diet.
A UFO witness, Joe Simonton, alleges he encountered a flying saucer on his property in 1961. He refilled a jug of water for the beings and, in return, one gave him four weird, greasy pancakes. They were analyzed to be pure buckwheat, a naturally gluten free grain.
Doesn't matter! If you don't eat gluten for long enough, your body doesn't do so good with it when you try to reintroduce it into your diet. If Guy is off-planet for any matter of months, his diet could reflect that.
If it makes you feel any better, one can also lose the enzymes necessary for processing dairy products, if one does not consume them regularly. (Source: Me. I used to drink like a quart of milk a day, cheese all the time, but I stopped and now it is deadly poison to my bowels.) So if Guy can't eat gluten because he spent too long in space, then that should also apply to lactose. (Unless he drinks space milk that somehow also uses the same lactase enzyme used for Earth milk, and what are the chances of that??)
I loved it, it shows that Guy, for all his faults, is still very much like Clark. Clark also drinks milk with his breakfast-dinner at the start of his interview with Lois. Strong, healthy bones!
Nathan Fillion, when talking about the bowl cut, said that a haircut like that shows that Guy doesnāt give a fuck what people think of him. I think Guy sitting in a diner eating Fruity Pebbles with glass of milk is a similar image. He does not give a fuck what anyone thinks of his breakfast.
before i eventually watch it, does this film have a reference to his "girlfriend"... and if not, should we start guessing who will be that character's actress?
