Absolutely. It’s like people watching Psycho for the first time and recognizing it before the scene happens.
Although I have to say that my favorite missed reference, is the Akira ending. Something similar happens in a bunch of animated shows(South Park as an entire episode about it, which most fans don’t realize is a direct reference). And so many people have a huge “Oh shit” moment when they see the movie and realize.
Are you talking about the trapper keeper episode? I never made that correlation until you just mentioned it! And I’ve seen Akira many more times before and after that episode originally aired many years ago.
For sure. I bet there’s a substantial number of people who only know of it from the references and haven’t seen the show.
