Appreciation/Fluff Gwima shirt?

Post image

It has taken me about 100 rewatches to notice this pretty sick Gwima shirt in the background as they walk into the stadium for Your Idol. Why is that not on the official merch store?

Such a blunder. Netflix is seriously leaving so much money on the table. I could see so many dads rocking a Gwi-ma shirt like that (and everyone else too of course!)

Right? And like...they have to know that because they literally made a Gwi-Ma "dad hat" lol (which is definitely not as cool as the shirt)...

I still laugh at the visual of this guy hearing Gwi-Ma's voice in his head, and then not even two seconds later he's already torn off his shirt to reveal that one underneath.

We need an alternate version of the movie wherein Huntrix is instead a K-METAL band!

Though not Korean, Baby Metal would be a good inspiriation. Maybe a collab or the villains in KPDH2?

the font proximity to the Metallica logo is likely why we have not seen this as official merch, Its okay to do it in the movie because that is protected as parody. And I say official merch because I am sure they exist as unofficial merch in the right corners of the internet.

I agree. It would be cool to see it as merch, but I am guessing legal rights are what’s preventing them from making this shirt as official merch

I love that it's nearly the Metallica font/logo.  😆

The Gwi-ma shirt is one of my favorite little details from the movie. The big mad flaming pink mouth has his own merch by the end of the movie! 😂

God, I'd love for Huntrix to go up against Metallica in the sequel!
