Aw, I love Lilo. She’s a little bit weird, but all she wants is to have a deep connection with someone. Then she finds Stitch! He’s crazy and kind of mean, but she turns him around.

He is PERFECT for the Regular Guy archetype – after all, he’s the friendly neighborhood superhero! I love that he’s crazy smart but also really humble. Plus Tom Holland is adorable.
