NovocaineThe cast also includes Jacob Batalon, who plays Ned Leeds in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, along with Smile 2It's Ray Nicholson.

What does this mean for novocaine

It seems like no one knows the boys

Novocaine looks like an action movie inspired by Bob Odenkirk's film Nobody and The boys. Although Nathan is not a former assassin like Odenkirk's Nobody character, there's a similar sense of a seemingly ordinary character becoming an action hero who does brutal things to save his loved ones. Nathan's temperament is similar to Hughie's and NovocaineThe cartoonish use of violence and violence also recalls The boysas is how often Quaid's character is covered in blood.

While there's plenty of high-octane action, as The boys, Novocaine It also seems like it won't take itself too seriously. Nathan's inability to feel pain is useful in his quest to save his girlfriend, but his condition is also a laughing matter as it leads to many absurd scenarios. Batalon's character reminds Nathan that he is not invincible as he can still die, so there will still be life and death risks for Nathan despite his unique resistance to pain.
