| 1 | * HarsherInHindsight: |
| 2 | ** The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has forced almost the whole world to be confined to their own homes and not have any physical interaction with others, not too dissimilar to Tod. |
| 3 | ** Naturally, it's also harsh to know that the SCID patient whose case largely inspired Tod's backstory, David Vetter, didn't even make it into his teens. |
| 4 | * HilariousInHindsight: Tod attending school through a camera and TV monitor during the second act is very similar to how online learning would be established as a result of the aforementioned COVID-19 Pandemic. |
| 5 | * NarmCharm: General consensus is that the movie targets the heartstrings so aggressively that it overshoots the mark more often than not, but Tod's situation is nevertheless a tragic one, and the story ''was'' based on some real cases of kids with the same immunodeficiency. |
| 6 | * RetroactiveRecognition: A pre-cancer surgery Creator/AnneRamsey has a small part as Rachel the nurse. |
| 7 | * TheWoobie: You can't help but feel a little bad for Tod. |
