This is nicely aligned and has an unabashed comic-book vibe that carries it.
It is about an awkward, moody teenager who feels he's not understood: in the X-file universe, this is rendered as him being able to harness lightning to destroy stuff.
He wears a Vandals tshirt, gets drunk in his backyard with the only one who'll hang with him, a schoolmate who works in the arcade shop. All of which give off a distinct early 90s vibe that reminds me of my years.
Mulder and Scully try to understand youth.
It helps that Ribisi plays the twitchy loner so well.
