“You Got This” Cinematic Universe

Teaching his nervous daughter to back out of the drive, a dad affirms: you got this. Two PowerPoint bros bump fists before the all-important client pitch: you got this. A mugger hesitates upon seeing the elderly mark, his mugger chum draping an arm around him: you got this. A lazy doctor passes her patient a leaflet about soft tissue sarcoma: you got this. An activewear couple are agog when their dog Mr. Partisan fetches the frisbee one five-am morning: you got this! A parent rolls their eyes when their kid returns from their weekend-parent with yet another plush toy: you got this. A couple replays through the years that moment eight months into their relationship when, on the dance floor of a cheesy club, everything felt right and beautiful, and how lucky they felt to be, only half ironically, touching their heart and shouting at each other over the din of Hey Ya!: you got this.
