One user hit the nail on the head by exchanging Star Wars' "The Force" for F9's "family," highlighting the imprecise nature of this super power. It's hard to describe to the uninitiated, but for those like Dom it's reliable.

Over the last decade, Fast & Furious movies have been one of the only things that can compete with super hero movies, but some fans now think Dom Torretto could even improve those. They wondered what their favorite heroes or villains could have accomplished with "family" on their side.

Anime turned out to be fertile ground for "family" memes, as the universal power of solidarity often sees its heroes through there as well. However, heroes that typically rely on "friendship" in the same way meet their match when Dom arrives.

Even stories that already rely on a found family motif like The Fellowship of the Ring could be improved by joining forces with Dom's family, creating a bit of a fractal effect in the process.
