Written & Directed by James Gunn

[Note: copious sub-titled profanity]
Chef’s Note: Judomaster is a highly skilled martial artist. We get to see him regularly take down foes much larger and stronger than him.
I feel like we get to see the absolute peak of his skills here where he seems to just casually weaponize Flamin’ Hot Cheetos with searing pinpoint accuracy – right in the #@(&; eye!
Those of you who have accidentally wiped an eye with a Flamin’ Hot Cheeto cheetle-covered finger know just how painful this can be.
Then again, he does eat them all the time, and his original job was as a bodyguard, which means a lot of waiting around, so it’s probably pretty likely that he’s spent a good amount of time practicing with them. Perhaps then not as casual as it appeared?
Still, most impressive! I think we may need a new catalog tag for weaponizing food, yes? There’s this moment, Starfire with the fork, Blue Raja, also with the forks…
What to call it though, as “weaponizingfood” seems a bit of a mouthful? And should there be a separate category for cutlery? These are the kind important questions I must ask in my role as a comic-book food archaeologist. You’re welcome.
Update: Decided to go with the catalog tag “food-fight“.
