Momma's Boy | comment |
If a guy is excessively devoted to his mother and he's not obviously a manly man, then he will be seen as a sensitive guy even if he doesn't act like one. His mother might try to completely dominate his life, to the point of telling him who to marry (and if he disobeys then she'll try to ruin his relationship or at least ruin her life too), turning him into a Momma's Boy: hopeless with women, timid, weak, and lacking the spirit to stand up to his mother. His father will be absent or just as browbeaten. On the other hand, if he does stand up to her then he's not a Momma's Boy, even though she's still My Beloved Smother. Young examples are shown sympathetically; older ones are usually Acceptable Targets because no one can be a badass if he always obeys his mother's instructions (unless she's encouraging him to be a badass, which would make her more of an Action Mom). Note the Double Standard in this trope, as a girl with a controlling father is almost never Played for Laughs. A young boy has a better chance of escaping mommy's patronage than an adult — who will, if anything, end up with a domineering wife instead. Rescue is unlikely: there aren't many Action Girls running around looking for poor oppressed boys. So there's the real danger that Momma's boy will grow old alone, until smother dies, when it's too late to change their ways and Set Right What Once Went Wrong. To every Momma's Boy there is a Boy's Momma, of course. In dark instances, this trope can be instigated by an Abusive Parent — either the mother herself making the son slavishly devoted to her, or an abusive father driving the boy more to the mother's side in her defence. Although the trope is usually played as inherently negative, it can also be portrayed in a more positive light, becoming essentially a gender-inversion of Daddy's Girl in which mother and son are simply very close and utterly adore each other, often to the exclusion of the father (if he's even around to begin with); and while the well-meaning mother might naturally welcome the idea of her son getting hooked, the usual doting and spoiling with which she treats her son might be a bit overwhelming for potential Love Interests... if she didn't accidentally scare them off with her overprotectiveness first. If the mother becomes infirm in her old age, expect the son to become the caretaker of the relationship. This form is still likely to be Played for Laughs, but in a more endearing way. The perception of this trope varies by culture. For instance, in Anglophone countries where individuality is highly valued, the trope is more likely to be negative, but in Asian and Latin American cultures where living with parents until (and even after) marriage is normal, that kind of devotion to one's parents is more likely to be seen positively. Compare Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas. See also I Want My Mommy! and All Take and No Give. The Distaff Counterpart, Daddy's Girl, is less often portrayed as inherently a bad thing. |

The Super Mario Bros. Movie: Heavily implied with the SMB Plumbing website. A five-star review in the testimonials section comes from the user "BrosMama", who describes the plumbers as "polite, professional, adorable, and treated me like family!" Despite the clear bias bordering on Nepotism, the brothers seem to be fine with it, although Mario is visibly embarrassed when Luigi proudly boasts to Spike how their mother called to tell them that their commercial was great. Luigi seems to be the stronger example of the two, with his character splash in the end credits featuring his phone with his ma's call notification up. | |

Naruto's son, the eponymous protagonist of Boruto, can be pretty spiteful towards most people, but he loves his mother Hinata and sister Himawari dearly. This aspect of his personality only accentuates his aggravation with his increasingly busy father. He feels that Naruto is not only neglecting his children but also his wife, and that annoys Boruto. | |

The Rifter: Fikiri. Represented as being very attached to his mother at a young age, and not growing away from her, and also being cowardly and petty. She is burned as a witch, and Fikiri blames John, whom he already hated, but this cements an undying enmity. Not that it's shown to be wrong, in general, to love and look up to your mother: the warm relationship between Saimura and his mother Ji demonstrates that. | |

Fire Emblem: Pelleas from Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn would probably qualify, if he were actually Almedha's biological son. Tibarn even calls him a Momma's Boy. While Brady of Fire Emblem: Awakening loves his mother Maribelle dearly, he criticizes her at some point because, since she once was a My Beloved Smother to him, he turned out to become this and couldn't save her from death. Fire Emblem Fates has Prince Takumi, who used to be extremely timid as a child and would cling quite a bit to his mother Queen Mikoto. Or better said, his Parental Substitute since she was his father's second spouse. He was hit the hardest out of the Hoshidan siblings when Mikoto died in an Heroic Sacrifice for the Avatar, tends to have nightmares about it, and one of his reasons to attack Nohr in Conquest is that he's incredibly angry after seeing the Avatar side with the nation who caused such a terrible incident which makes it very easy for the Big Bad to apply Demonic Possession to him as the game goes on. |

Cliff Clavin in Cheers. Over the age of thirty, and he still lives with his mother and does as she demands. Several episodes have creepy oedipal overtones to the mix at the very least (suggestions that Cliff was breastfed past infancy, and some kind of roleplaying game to help Cliff get to sleep), and the relationship being horrifically co-dependent (Cliff mentions at one point they've both faked heart attacks during arguments). Cliff's manchildish nature comes to the fore whenever around her, complete with strops and sulks. Lampshaded by Frasier Crane when he meets Cliff's mother in one episode: |

Shown as positive for the most part with John and his mother in Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2024). She's the one thing in his past he refused to give up, even if it puts his cover story with Jane at risk, and he calls her multiple times a day, but a lot of that is because he feels like it's his responsibility to take care of her and because he loves and respects her for being a good mother. Since Jane went no contact with her own remaining parent, she tends to find this behavior weird and vice versa, but his mother later ends up giving Jane some good advice for their failing marriage. | |

He hates when someone gets close to her, dislikes thinking maybe someday she'll remarry, and his Berserk Button is people getting pervy over her (especially his homeroom teacher Onizuka). | |

I Ain't a Doll, This Ain't a Dollhouse: Giorno Giovanna is drawn towards his mother Johanna when he finally gets to meet her, wanting to help her recover from the tragedy his father Dio put her through and is happy just spending time with her, even when she isn't aware that he is her son yet. Underneath his gruff attitude, Jotaro Kujo is fiercely loyal and protective of the female relatives in his family, such as wanting to save his mother Holly from her Stand-related illness like in canon. He's also furious at his grandfather when he finds out he cheated on his grandmother Suzi Q, and the idea of Dio being near his great-great-grandmother Johanna, much less have sex with her, is enough to make his blood boil. Older Joseph Joestar is furious when he finds out that DIO had brainwashed his mother Lisa Lisa into one of his servants, and more so learning that Dio had deliberately targeted her. |

In Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, it turns out B.J Blazkowicz is devoted to the memory of his gentle and kind Jewish Mother, Zofia. No, it's not Played for Laughs and it doesn't dent his status as an extreme tough guy who can make the impossible, possible in any way — this aspect of Blazkowicz's character is heartbreaking. B.J had a horrific childhood with his abusive father Rip and his mother often caught a black eye trying to protect him. When B.J heads back to the Blazkowicz residence and finds out that Rip sold Zofia out to the Nazis for money and because she called him out for being a horrible father and a bad businessman, B.J kills the bastard on the spot. | |

Charly (2002): Sam Roberts is very close to his mother. He visits her frequently and he often turns to her for life advice. It's only after his mother calls him out for refusing to overlook Charly's past that Sam is able to get over himself and resume his courtship of Charly. This contrasts him with his romantic rival, Mark Randolph. Mark doesn't keep in touch with his mother, much to her annoyance. |

Lionel from BrainDead is a perfect example. He's so emotionally dependent on his mother that after she gets zombified he hides her in the basement, unable to bring himself to destroy her. That is, until he learns she killed his father for having an affair. That knowledge lets him break free just in time for the final battle. | |

Richard Castle in Castle plays with the trope; he's clearly close and devoted to his mother Martha and still lives under the same roof as her despite being a grown man, but it's actually her having moved in with him after she lost all her money, and far from her trying to dominate his life, it's usually more that he's trying to keep her out of trouble, since she tends towards being rather flighty and irresponsible (which says something, given that Castle himself isn't exactly a pillar of maturity or anything). Nevertheless, the two are clearly quite close. | |

Naruto is this for Kushina in Do Over, with Jiraiya outright calling him the trope's name, which is something Kushina is awfully pleased with. Justified by the fact that Naruto originally didn't grow up with parents, and now that he's been given a second chance, he's not wasting it. | |

Homelander from The Boys is most definitely a squicky variation of this, befitting his Psychopathic Manchild nature. His sexual relationship with his mother figure Stillwell is highly twisted, especially since he drinks her frigging breast milk after killing her. His sickening obsession with motherhood in relation to himself is seen later with Becca who birthed his son Ryan after he raped her and in season 3 he gets a Stalker with a Test Tube obsession with fellow Supe/ex-girlfriend Queen Mauve wanting her to bear his children and threatens to harvest her eggs if she kills herself. | |

Cole is this to some extent in the Skyhold Academy Yearbook series. It's worth noting that Cole has suffered from Parental Abandonment for as long as he can remember, and is adopted as a teenager; he is absolutely devoted to both of his adoptive parents, but his mother in particular, since she was the one to decide to adopt him even before she was in a relationship with her eventual husband. She's also the source of his Trauma Button, since after the events of the first story he's severely uncomfortable with the idea of anything happening to her. | |

Vash the Stampede from Trigun based his entire pacifistic, peace-loving life around his beloved surrogate mother Rem, and choose to wear a big red coat because Rem loved the color of Roses. Even Vash’s iconic towering Anime Hair was a result of Rem cutting it into the same hair style as her dead boyfriend Alex and Vash was okay with it purely because it made her happy. In the anime SEED crew members even explicitly called Vash this as a child, as he wouldn’t leave Rem’s side. | |

Heffer from Rocko's Modern Life is this to his surrogate mother, Virginia Wolfe. In "Gutter Balls", Mr. Bighead hires him, Rocko, and Filburt to play against his bowling team, the Gutter Gals. When Mr. Bighead insults Virginia for her poor bowling skills, Heffer gets angry at him for this. A later episode of the series is named for this trope. In this episode, Heffer becomes tired of Virginia babying him because of his lazy and spoiled lifestyle and tries to prove to her that he can take care of himself. | |

Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side's flamboyant artist, Mihara Shiki, loves his mommy and doesn't mind saying so. In this case it's not exactly presented as a negative so much as simply an indication of his quirkiness — for example, in one of his events he drapes himself against a bust he made of his mother, lamenting that she's not there right now, giving the heroine the impression that his mother is dead... but no, she's at home making dinner. | |

The Mandalorian: Seemingly of the positive variety; Pershing cared very deeply for his mother and her death of a heart attack, a death that a cloned organ transplant could have prevented, motivated him to become a geneticist in hopes of creating cloned organs to save lives. She was a doctor, and this inspired him to follow her into medicine even before she'd died of her condition. | |

Thor: The Dark World: Frigga seems to be the only member of the family that Loki can tolerate after all that's happened, which makes seeing his reaction to her death even more crushing. He is also shown to be his mother's son, as Frigga is the one who taught him magic, he shares her guile (she defies Odin's orders to not visit Loki behind her husband's back, and she fools Malekith) and her graceful bearing, and his combat style is very similar to hers. After Odin commutes Loki's death sentence to life imprisonment, he knows that the best way to hurt Loki is to deny him visits from Frigga and to bar him from attending her funeral. It's lampshaded by Thor when he asks his brother, "You think you alone were loved of Mother?" | |

The Twilight Zone (1959): In "Young Man's Fancy", Alex Walker had an incredibly close relationship with his mother Henrietta growing up, seemingly because his father abandoned them only two months after he was born. He was so completely devoted to her that Virginia Lane had to wait twelve years, including a year after Henrietta's death, before they could marry. Alex's love for his mother is so strong that he becomes a young boy again and Henrietta's ghost returns to mother him once again. | |

I am [REDACTED]: The nail of Izuku going to a private hero institution in America instead of UA is motivated by the love he has for his mother, after All Might tells him he would have to distance himself from her when he became an official pro-hero. By studying in America, Izuku would be able to keep his real name confidential, and would be able to adopt a Secret Identity when he finished his schooling and returned to Japan, allowing him to remain close to his mother. He even goes as far as to tell Inko about One For All in order to convince her to let this happen — which leads to her following him to America for his studies. Ironically, this opportunity allows them to reconnect with Izuku's father and Inko's husband Hisashi, who is also told about One For All and returns to Japan with them before the start of the main story. | |

However his wounds are too serious to treat and he starts crying out in his delirium for his mother, and Alicia — taken to compassion at the boy's suffering, holds his hand and pretends to be his mother to comfort him in his last moments. The following morning Welkin and Alicia bury him and his squadmates show up at the cabin; they piece together what happened, and when Welkin tells them the boy died crying for his mom, one of the soldiers sounding ashamed steps forward and admits they used to bully him for being a "momma's boy". | |

DuckTales (2017): Dewey is the most driven out of his brothers to find out what happened to their mother. In "Last Christmas!", he isolates himself from his family due to depression over his mother not being here, and he stows away on Scrooge and the Spirits' trip to the past so he can at least meet her younger self. When Della finally returns on Earth, Dewey is the first to run up to and hug her. Then when she continually screws up motherly tasks, he's the one who keeps encouraging and complimenting her while defending her to the others. That said, later episodes such as "Moonvasion!" show that his support for her has its limits. | |

Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) gives us Peter Quill aka 'Star Lord', which was originally his late mother's nickname for him. Years after her tragic death, it's clear that Peter still adores her. His most treasured possession is the Walkman and mixtape she made for him, and he does not react well to people trying to take it from him. When he learns in the sequel that his father, Ego the Living Planet, deliberately planted the brain tumour that killed his mother, Peter doesn't hesitate to pull out his blasters and fill Ego with so many holes that he would have died if he'd been a lesser being. | |

My Little Pony: A New Generation: Sprout Cloverleaf is shown to be constantly craving for his mother Phyllis' approval, even parroting her racist views toward pegasi and unicorns since the beginning of the film. Even as an adult, he still refers to her as "mommy" as a way of showing how immature he is. | |

James Bond: Interestingly, Bond as portrayed by Daniel Craig can be seen as this towards his superior Judi Dench's M, as in spite of their grievances, both Bond and M care deeply for each other, which is seen best in Skyfall. Mallory even accuses M of favoritism, and the first time we see Bond cry is when M dies in his arms in the climax. Raoul Silva is a villainous example towards M, he alternates between wanting to destroy M for abandoning him and having a bizarre affection for her, he even outright calls M "Mommy" or "Mother" multiple times. When Silva sees that's M wounded his Sanity Slippage become worse and he tries to force M to kill herself and him. |

A rare gender-flipped and deconstructed version of this trope in Turning Red. Mei is the apple of her mother Ming's eye and the two can be described as joined at the hip. While Mei loves her mom to pieces, she admits that she's always felt pressured by her to perfectionism and is dismayed by how Ming blames Mei's friends and peers for Mei's choices and how her mother's side of the family tries to force her to seal away her panda spirit against her will. After a massive fight with her mother when she transforms into a kaiju-sized red panda, both of them reconcile after Mei learns what Ming went through in her teen years, having also been a Momma's Girl herself. | |

As per usual, Peter Parker aka Spider-Man is this to his sweet Aunt May as seen in Civil War, Homecoming and Far From Home. Interestingly while Peter dislikes May's coddling, he's actually protective of her too, trying to save her distress by keeping his arachnid alter ego secret, and gets pretty annoyed when other men flirt and hit on his aunt. Becomes a Tear Jerker in Spider-Man: No Way Home as poor Peter loses his dear auntie to the Green Goblin and his bewildered grief as May passes away in front of him, leaving him all alone in the world is so heartbreaking child-like. | |

Luck Voltia from Black Clover is a surprisingly dark example because his mom was distant from him in his youth, but she first started showing him affection after he defeated a noble. This event helped her and so she encouraged him to keep fighting, and keep winning, all for her selfish benefit. Now he has a pathological need to find and defeat strong opponents so that she will continue to love him. He finally grows out of it after his friends pull him back from being possessed, leaving what could either be his mental image of her or her spirit in the afterlife behind as she cries in happiness for him. | |

Christopher in Flowers in the Attic will not tolerate any criticism or questioning of their mother, no matter how terrible things get as they spend years locked in the attic. It carries over into the second book, where he still makes lame excuses for her (despite the irrevocable proof of her abandoning them) and blasts sister Cathy for her obsession with destroying her. Not until he overhears her admit to poisoning them does he finally face facts. And even then, in the third book, it's he who has managed to forgive her to some extent and chastises Cathy for not doing so. | |

When she gets sick, Ravi stays with her in the hospital, and Vijay –- who's wanted by the police and therefore can't go to the hospital where they're waiting for him -– goes to a temple he had previously refused to enter, and asks Shiva to let his mother live. | |

Fire Emblem Fates has Prince Takumi, who used to be extremely timid as a child and would cling quite a bit to his mother Queen Mikoto. Or better said, his Parental Substitute since she was his father's second spouse. He was hit the hardest out of the Hoshidan siblings when Mikoto died in an Heroic Sacrifice for the Avatar, tends to have nightmares about it, and one of his reasons to attack Nohr in Conquest is that he's incredibly angry after seeing the Avatar side with the nation who caused such a terrible incident which makes it very easy for the Big Bad to apply Demonic Possession to him as the game goes on. | |

Marvel Cinematic Universe: Thor: The Dark World: Frigga seems to be the only member of the family that Loki can tolerate after all that's happened, which makes seeing his reaction to her death even more crushing. He is also shown to be his mother's son, as Frigga is the one who taught him magic, he shares her guile (she defies Odin's orders to not visit Loki behind her husband's back, and she fools Malekith) and her graceful bearing, and his combat style is very similar to hers. After Odin commutes Loki's death sentence to life imprisonment, he knows that the best way to hurt Loki is to deny him visits from Frigga and to bar him from attending her funeral. It's lampshaded by Thor when he asks his brother, "You think you alone were loved of Mother?" Thor: Ragnarok: Four years after Frigga's death, Loki still clings to his mother's memory. It's alluded to when Odin tells his sons that Frigga is calling to him from the afterlife; he's looking directly at Loki, knowing that his adoptive son adored Frigga the most in the family, and asks him, "Do you hear it?" Loki then glances towards the horizon and tries to listen for his mother's voice.◊ Loki misses her so much that for a split second, he wants to believe that he might be able to hear her, too. Furthermore, Odin adds that Frigga would've been proud of how powerful Loki's spells have become, and it's obvious from Loki's facial expression that this comment means a lot to him. Avengers: Endgame: In a surprising (but heartwarming) twist, Endgame shows Thor is as much a Momma's Boy to Frigga as Loki was. Seen when Thor travels back in time to Asgard (during the events Thor: The Dark World), where instead of wooing his Old Flame Jane Foster in order to get the Aether/Reality Stone from her, Thor chooses to go see his mother, knowing she's going to die that day. Once Thor is face to face with his mom, he breaks down completely while Frigga accepts him instantly and hugs her future son. While Frigga refuses to learn her fate, she's grateful for the opportunity to comfort Thor in his depression, and she is the one to inspire him to become the badass god of thunder once again. Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) gives us Peter Quill aka 'Star Lord', which was originally his late mother's nickname for him. Years after her tragic death, it's clear that Peter still adores her. His most treasured possession is the Walkman and mixtape she made for him, and he does not react well to people trying to take it from him. When he learns in the sequel that his father, Ego the Living Planet, deliberately planted the brain tumour that killed his mother, Peter doesn't hesitate to pull out his blasters and fill Ego with so many holes that he would have died if he'd been a lesser being. As per usual, Peter Parker aka Spider-Man is this to his sweet Aunt May as seen in Civil War, Homecoming and Far From Home. Interestingly while Peter dislikes May's coddling, he's actually protective of her too, trying to save her distress by keeping his arachnid alter ego secret, and gets pretty annoyed when other men flirt and hit on his aunt. Becomes a Tear Jerker in Spider-Man: No Way Home as poor Peter loses his dear auntie to the Green Goblin and his bewildered grief as May passes away in front of him, leaving him all alone in the world is so heartbreaking child-like. |

Batman has zig-zagged this over the years: Initially, Bruce Wayne was depicted as loving both parents and missing them equally after they were gunned down, without particularly favoring one over the other. In the wake of Crisis on Infinite Earths and Batman: Year One, however, Thomas Wayne became the predominant parent figure, to the point where many of Bruce's Inner Monologues are half-delusional conversations with Thomas' ghost. Year One being a massive trendsetter in the industry, subsequent authors took it to the point where, as one reviewer put it, "Bruce's thoughts are so daddy daddy daddy-centric it's easy to forget he even had a mother attached to that precious string of pearls." Since then, however, other authors have tried to swing the pendulum back. Neil Gaiman's "Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?", for one, portrays Martha's spirit as the one that appears to comfort Bruce when he (possibly) dies, and tell him that his reward for being Batman is of course: Being Batman again (cue resurrection). Inverted in Flashpoint, when Bruce is killed in the alley instead of his parents, and Martha goes insane with grief and becomes The Joker of this alternate universe. Thomas (who is the AU Batman) gives her hope saying that Bruce is alive and "well" in another world but when she unfortunately asks what he's like and Thomas informs her that Bruce turns out like him, Martha commits suicide in horror. |

Franz stands up to her twice: once in "Ich gehör nur mir (Reprise)" when he overrides the Queen Mother to give Sisi final say on how her children are raised, and called his mother out in "Streit Mütter und Sohn/Mama, ich bin ausser mir" for her maltreatment of Sisi and her attempts to break his marriage in the name of throne and country. It's too little, too late for his wife and son. | |

Jean Grey has two in Cable and Nate Grey, who are (broadly) positive examples. They certainly have their flaws, being a future soldier dedicated to stopping Apocalypse, and an intermittently dying Physical God with an occasional messiah complex and a single-minded obsession with preventing the 616 universe from becoming like his home reality, and both tend to want to protect the world their way, whether the world wants it or not. However, one thing that Jean invariably does is bring out their better natures, and both of them a) want to make her proud, b) get their great (sometimes excessive) compassion from her, c) almost invariably at least listen to her. The latter doesn't seem like much until you realise that it's more than they do to to literally anyone else. | |

Star Trek: The Ferengi is an entire race of momma's boys. Due to the extremely misogynistic culture of Ferengian society, mothers were expected to dote on every single aspect of their male offspring. This resulted in the children growing so attached to their moms that it even became a law to never insult one. The turning point in the Dominion War on Deep Space Nine came when barfly Morn was rushing home to his mother's birthday and had so many gifts he could easily smuggle a critical message. |

Wrath from Fullmetal Alchemist (2003) is a villainous example. He is Izumi's still-born son and thus has deep mother issues once he regains his memories. He thinks she abandoned him and hates her for it. Wrath is drawn to Sloth, who was born from the failed resurrection of Trisha and thus looks exactly like her, and even glues themselves together just before she dies however in the end he does recognize Izumi is his mother. A deleted scene from Fullmetal Alchemist: The Conqueror of Shamballa had a scene where he meets up with her right when she dies.. In the final product he ends up Together in Death with her when he dies. | |

In Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Percy Jackson adores his mother Sally and would do anything for her. This is portrayed in a very positive light and doesn't detract from his badassery at all, as she raised him single-handedly after his dad left and the first book has him protecting her from his abusive stepfather. It also helps that Sally is a kind, selfless, and all-round awesome person. Their closeness really stands out from the other demigods' less positive relationships with their parents. | |

In A Cry in the Night, Erich was extremely close to his now-deceased mother, aided by the fact his father was rather aloof and not the affectionate type. One of his best works is "Memory of Caroline", which he painted in her memory and refuses to ever sell. Unfortunately, Erich takes his love for Caroline to the point of obsession; he's still not fully come to terms with her death even though it happened over two decades ago and he keeps everything in the house exactly as it was when Caroline was alive. He even marries a woman who bears a resemblance to her. | |

A M*A*S*H episode finds Frank Burns wigging out after sometime-girlfriend Hot Lips announces her engagement to another man. He cries it out to his mother over the phone. Frank was also frequently depicted as regarding Hot Lips herself as a kind of surrogate mother figure ... making their relationship more than a little Squicky. When Frank's wife finds out about his affair with Margaret and wants a divorce, Radar doesn't understand why Frank is panicking. Radar has shades of this himself. His father died when he was a baby, and he has no siblings. |

In Tortall: A Spy's Guide, Alanna's son Alan wants to be a knight but hated the thought of training under Lord Wyldon, who openly said Alanna wasn't a true knight. He writes to Lord Imrah asking him to take him on instead - impoverished would-be knights regularly served as page and squire to an an older warrior and it is an ancient tradition, even if the usual path to knighthood involves training in Corus with other pages under the supervision of someone like Wyldon. Lord Imrah fully understands why Alan wouldn't want to learn chivalry from a man who despises his mother and agrees to take him on, but explains that Alan is going to have to learn not to react to people who despise Alanna. | |

Superman is very much a momma's boy and will proudly proclaim to anyone who asks (and those who don't) that his mother made his costume for him. (Though in the New 52 era it looks like some kind of Kryptonian armor.) Also a thoroughly justified and positive version, since the Kents are the very definition of Good Parents, and Superman credits them for shaping him into the hero he is. Martha never really enters My Beloved Smother territory and Jonathan Kent is never excluded (if he's alive, that is). Though hurt Mama Kent and Superman will not take it lying down. |

My Hero Academia: Midoriya and his mother are very close and her words of encouragement are just as important to him as All Might's. When he gets his hero costume upgraded, he makes it a goal to keep the base as close to the original as possible, because that was the costume his mother gave him. Todoroki acknowledges that his mother is the one responsible for the burn scars on the left side of his face, but feels that the act was caused largely by his abusive father, Endeavor, and sympathizes with her. |

Bob's Burgers: Gene loves both his parents, but is clearly closer to Linda than he is to Bob due to their similar Cloud Cuckoo Lander personalities and shared love of and aptitude for music. Unlike other examples on this list, Gene is just as strong-willed as his mother and sisters, and can even get away with ribbing Linda from time to time. There are some instances where it's implied Gene is in love with his mother, to the point of giving her a a heavily detailed Valentine and once insisting she be his wife in stories his sister and father told him while he was sick on Thanksgiving. Linda thinks it's sweet, while Bob and the girls often find it disturbing (Bob: We all need to have a talk as a family). Louise has joked about going to Gene and Linda's wedding. |

Conan and the detective kids actually find a "haunted house" where a mother keeps her son locked in the basement to wait until Statute of Limitations past, even when the guy is guilty and does want to go to jail for his crime. Eventually, Conan helps the culprit convince his mother to let him go and turn himself in. | |

Dabney from Malcolm in the Middle takes this trope to a hilarious extreme when Dabney says "I know you think I'm a momma's boy", in which Malcolm replies "No, the momma's boys are laughing at you with their mothers!" Malcolm and Francis have been accused of being momma's boys by several different love interests. For the latter, this is a Berserk Button, thanks to his very rocky relationship with Lois. |

A Song of Ice and Fire has a few, in a number of flavours. In the outright creepy corner, we have Robert "Sweetrobin" Arryn and his Epic-class My Beloved Smother Lysa — this pair manage one of the most horrible takes on the trope you'd ever hope not to meet — the poor boy is so smothered, his physical health is directly impacted, not just his mental. In the mixed-bag section, we have Cersei Lannister and her two boys. One isn't what you'd expect in a typical Momma's Boy at all, except she went out to emotionally cripple our impulsive Joffrey quite handily without gaining any control over him at all. Tommen, however... is the trope played both sweetly and very, very straight, poor boy. For more marginal examples, there are Brandon Stark and Samwell Tarly. Deliberate it wasn't in either case, but they're both their mothers' darlings. Thankfully, they are among the most lightly smothered you'll find still kind of meeting this trope. And, as far as Sam is concerned, it's unclear how much is actually a case of "really didn't get along with Monster Dad, so had only one other option". Most of their sufferings have little to do with this trope, in fact. There are a few more knocking about the series, both in the backstory and the main one, but these are the big ones. In the backstory, there's all of Rhaenyra's sons who went to war for her throne because they loved her. Her son, Aegon, in particular adored her and never got over her traumatic death. |

In Devil May Cry, it's strongly implied that Dante and, to a lesser extent, his brother Vergil were Mommas Boys towards Eva; Dante keeps a photo of her on his desk at all times, has mercy upon Trish because she looks like Eva and genuinely resents his father Sparda for not being there to prevent Eva's death from Mundus's demons. Vergil also loved his mother deeply, given he recklessly attacked Mundus in revenge, and in MVC3, he is disgusted by Trish, seeing her as a sick copy of his mother. Then again, DMC5 reveals that Vergil's Start of Darkness stemmed from Eva dying to protect Dante, while he seemingly was neglected, causing Vergil to resent his brother and mother. However, Dante carefully explains that Eva went looking for Vergil, shouting his name before she was killed. One unlockable image after beating the main story campaign of DMC5 also shows that Dante and Vergil were close to Eva since they were toddlers. | |

One Piece: Usopp, for a very good reason. His badass super dad Yasopp left the village after Usopp was born, so course Usopp would be attached to his ill mom Bachina and deeply shaken when she fell ill and Usopp desperately tried to make her feel better on her deathbed. This included yelling to the whole village and her that his father had returned when he hadn't, making him a boy who cried wolf for good reasons. Chopper has shades of this towards Dr Kureha who took him in after his previous surrogate parent Hiluluk blew up. Kureha even acts like an overprotective mother when Nami tries to persuade Chopper to be Straw Hat's doctor and though she throws stuff at him, Kureha had some Tender Tears when Chopper left her. Chopper himself growled at the man who insulted Kureha and he has flashbacks about Kureha more than once. Donquixote Doflamingo is a more bitter, sadistic one. When Donquixote family lost their nobility and were thrown out on their asses, the young Doflamingo's mother fell sick and despite her sons trying to bring food to make her feel better, she died. This caused the already unstable Doflamingo to go crazy and blow his father's brains out in revenge, as he blamed him for her death. Considering Doflamingo would later also shoot down his Double Agent younger brother Rocinante (even if he wasn't too happy about it), it can be said that Doflamingo’s only actual loved one was his mother. All 46 sons of the insane Pirate Emperor (Yonko) Charlotte "Big Mom" Linlin can be called this. They're all fiercely loyal to the fat old hag and are all ranging in personalty, from the pathetic and cowardly 5th son Opera to Reasonable Authority Figure 16th son Moscato, to unadulterated badass 2nd and 10th sons Katakuri and Cracker. All of them call her "Mama", and it's anything but sweet. And of course there's Sanji, though many might have guessed it from the start due to his underlining care for all women. Sanji loved his mother Sora deeply, and for good reason as his father King Judge is a huge asswipe and his brothers were even bigger bullying assholes, with only Sora and his sister Reiju (who coincidentally looks a lot like their mom) being kind to him. Sanji brought his ill mother food he made himself, despite being knowing nothing about cooking (at the time) but Sora loved his effort and ate it all up, and when she died Sanji decided to become a chef for her. When he learned Sora had taken a drug before his birth that had led to her death, Sanji was horrified... but Reiju explained she had done it in an attempt to make sure Sanji and his brothers would turn out normally, as Judge had experimented with them while they were still in Sora's womb. Sora's gambit worked, but only partially: out of the four boys only Sanji was born with humanity, while his brothers Ichiji, Niji and Yonji became almost completely amoral killing machines. The anime makes it even more of a Tear Jerker with kid Sanji crying over his mother’s grave before being attacked by his brothers and father. |

Tekken: Jin Kazama is this to his mother Jun who raised him in the wilderness. Notably while Jin acts like a jerk to most people (even those close to him), Jun is the true exception being the only one who can make him smile. Jun’s apparent death at the hands of Ogre motivated Jin to train with his grandfather Heihatchi to take Ogre down and he did so. In the non-canon Tekken Tag Tournament 2 upon discovering that Unknown that she is actually Jun after beating her and seeing her vanish in his arms, Jin activates his Devil-form, screams in despair and flies off. Steve Fox is a one-sided example. He cares greatly for his mother super assassin Nina Williams, who wants nothing to do with him since Steve was born synthetically from her egg while she is was a Human Popsicle and didn’t consent to it. Despite this, Nina has hesitated when tasked to assassinated him and Steve protected her from the pursuing Tekken Force. In Tekken 7 it is revealed that Kazuya Mishima of all people was this as the death of his mother Kazumi at the hands of his father Heihachi was his Start of Darkness and was one of the reasons why he loathes his father (apart from the whole getting thrown off a cliff thing). Even years later as a Corrupt Corporate Executive, Kazuya refuses to believe that Kazumi tasked Akuma to kill him and his father Heihachi. |

Cassandro: Saúl adores his mother due to being her only support after his father abandoned them. It helps that she supports him even after he came out. Part of his motivation early on is to provide for her. | |

Walt, Larry and Igner of Futurama are a trio of this trope. They allow themselves to be entirely dominated by their mother, Mom. Igner is implied to be mentally challenged, Larry is a coward, and Walt has the worst Oedipus Complex you'll ever see. | |

Giorno Giovanna is drawn towards his mother Johanna when he finally gets to meet her, wanting to help her recover from the tragedy his father Dio put her through and is happy just spending time with her, even when she isn't aware that he is her son yet. | |

Lucifer (2016): The second season centers around the Goddess of Creation, mother to the angels. Lucifer had been keeping her locked up in Hell until she escaped at the end of the first season. As it turns out, he was always closer to her than he was to God, and she always doted on him. Notably, the name he uses, "Lucifer Morningstar," is the name she gave him; his father called him Samael. | |

Avengers: Endgame: In a surprising (but heartwarming) twist, Endgame shows Thor is as much a Momma's Boy to Frigga as Loki was. Seen when Thor travels back in time to Asgard (during the events Thor: The Dark World), where instead of wooing his Old Flame Jane Foster in order to get the Aether/Reality Stone from her, Thor chooses to go see his mother, knowing she's going to die that day. Once Thor is face to face with his mom, he breaks down completely while Frigga accepts him instantly and hugs her future son. While Frigga refuses to learn her fate, she's grateful for the opportunity to comfort Thor in his depression, and she is the one to inspire him to become the badass god of thunder once again. | |

Final Fantasy: Would Sephiroth from Final Fantasy VII be a twisted take? Thanks to Advent Children, it's even more twisted! Extra credit for being a more spiritual sort of "motherhood" courtesy of the Jenova cells Sephiroth was originally infected with, and also courtesy of Jenova not even being determinately female or necessarily even fully aware of it. It's definitely how Sephiroth acts about the whole affair, though. He might just have delusions that his imaginary Mother loves him and would like him to turn the planet into their own personal family barbecue, then using it as a transport to go to new planets to eat at, as it is unknown how Jenova can even communicate with him. Cloud is a positive take on this trope, having been raised by a single mother. Good ol' Seymour Guado from Final Fantasy X. The guy's got some massive Oedipal issues. Though the hate he has of his father completely overrides the love for his mother. Unlike a certain other Final Fantasy Momma's Boy... Hope Estheim from Final Fantasy XIII. |

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Joseph Joestar acts like this towards his grandmother Erina, while he's a jerk to everyone else he's fiercely loyal to and caring to his granny, Joseph has beat men up for ruining a coat Erina gave him and punched a man who had distressed Erina with grim news. Ironically Joseph isn't nearly as much a Momma's Boy to his actual mother Lisa Lisa (thanks to not knowing she was his mom) though Joseph still likes Lisa Lisa greatly... perhaps too much. Jotaro is even more of a delinquent than his grandfather Joseph was but nevertheless, Jotaro still loves his mother Holy greatly and goes on a journey to Egypt to stop DIO's in order to save her when she becomes ill. It's also thanks to his Disappeared Dad that Jotaro is protective of his mother. In what must be a running theme, Josuke is also very close to his mother Tomoko and his anger towards his illegitimate father Joseph stems from the neglect Joseph gave his mother after he was born. |

Daniel Torrance in Doctor Sleep, while he was always close to his mother Wendy, their ordeal in the Overlook Hotel brought them closer. Although due to the trauma she received at the hands of her husband Jack, Wendy had trouble looking her son in the eye without thinking of him. This forced Dan to use his power on Wendy to help her cope and watched helplessly as she died slowly to lung cancer. In the finale as the Overlook burns around him, Dan gets a vision of his mother whom stares directly and lovingly into his eyes. This is kinda ironic considering Danny was explicitly a Daddy’s Boy in the book. | |

Spider-Man: Perhaps the ultimate example in comics is Peter Parker, although to be pedantic he really is an Auntie's Boy. But when his mother "comes back", he is overjoyed and trusts her and his father with his identity as Spider-Man. Unfortunately (and inevitably), it turns out they were not his parents at all, but robots built by the Chameleon. That said, his robot mother truly believed she was Mary Parker and fought against her robotic husband to protect Peter. | |

Alex Sebastian from Notorious (1946). He's not as obvious an example as Norman Bates, but his mother still has her hooks in good and deep. Alex manages to stand up to her by marrying Alicia.

It doesn't matter how much his mother Zira mistreats him, he's constantly craving for her approval and affection.

Stranger Things: Jonathan and Will Byers to their dear mother Joyce, perfectly justified as their father Lonnie was an utter douchebag who abused them frequently before the divorce, therefore they love Joyce way more as a result. Joyce, of course, cherishes them as well, often to Mama Bear extremes. Dustin is actually like this with his mother, though it's a more stereotypical example. Tear Jerker example with Billy. He loved his mother dearly, having happy memories of being on the beach with her in California, and then his abusive scumbag dad drove her away, causing his Start of Darkness. This also explains why Billy was so attracted to the married mother Karen Wheeler. |

He's able to vocalise like Ayla due to being half Cro-Magnon and they sometimes play a special game where they make nonsense sounds together (that the rest of the Clan are incapable of). He is understandably distraught when Ayla is forced to leave him. | |

Happy Feet: Mumble adores his mother Norma Jean, even as a little chick as he is so impatient to meet her he rushes ahead of the flock of males even as Memphis screams for him to stop. As he grows up, Norma Jean is extremely defensive of Mumble's feelings and his "disability", insisting that there's nothing wrong with him and that the elders are jerks for shunning him. When Memphis comes clean about dropping Mumble as an egg, which led to his inability to sing and his natural tap-dancing ability, she's clearly horrified and immediately feels sorry for Mumble. When Mumble hallucinates in the penguin exhibit at the conservation center, Norma Jean is the first one he sees and talks to. He has a much more strained relationship with Memphis, primarily because Memphis had been hiding his guilt and shame at dropping Mumble, and blames himself for the famine because, while the elders blame Mumble for it because of his dancing, Memphis is the reason Mumble can dance but not sing in the first place, which he also felt would ruin Mumble's life because he can't find a mate if he can't sing.note Or so he thought... | |

Child of the Storm has Harry as a positive example towards his godmother, Wanda Maximoff, since his mother is (mostly) dead. After an initial rough patch, he adores her, and they spark off each other very well, with plenty of affectionate banter. Plus, she's one of the few people he invariably listens to. Hell, he'll even lie to Hermione, his best friend and Wanda's biological daughter, for her — though Harry makes it clear that while he understands the logic behind her choice/why he has to lie, he is not happy about it. He then defends Wanda from an enraged Hermione after the latter finds out the truth. While that's probably because Wanda is unwilling to defend herself, feeling she deserves her daughter's fury, it's still striking. It's somewhat deconstructed as Harry eventually admits he was wrong as his own close relationship with Wanda and propensity for keeping secrets clouded his judgement on how much Hermione should've been kept in the dark. | |

Gossip City: My husband and mother-in-law treat me badly because I couldn't get pregnant...: Mina finds out that her husband Shota always takes his mother's side whenever the latter abuses her. His brother Tatsuya always calls him out on this. My children were missing when I got home. My husband said something unbelievable: Kakeru is outright fanatical towards his mother, even forcing his children Rin and Ren, and his wife Ayane to revolve their lives around her. Things escalate to the point he dumped the kids to the mountains when she was away for groceries. Jordon from Mother-in-law “Give us your daughter’s heart. We need it for a heart transplant.�... is so concerned with wanting to keep his mother happy, he essentially brushes off Julia telling him that she had been demanding that their daughter give up her heart to his sister’s baby, claiming that she didn’t have any bad intentions and that she was trying to reassure his sister. Even though he ultimately learns his lesson and Julia doesn’t divorce him, he’s still chastised and punished, by having to go along with Julia’s prank on his mother (which also opens his eyes that his own mother ultimately values herself over her grandchildren) to avoid getting divorced and is left in the mountains to walk back home. My husband and his mother treated me like a maid…: Alex excused his mother Blair's abusive behavior towards his wife Ali whenever she stood up to her mother-in-law, threatening to divorce her if she doesn't back down. However, they agreed to make up for her until Ali got pregnant. When the hag abused her even more because the doctors called her out on her abuse, Alex blamed Ali for pissing her off. Furthermore, when Ali had her baby, the mother-in-law wanted to raise it herself and force her to do housework instead. |

In Spoonbenders, Buddy thought of his mother Maureen as "the World's Most Powerful Psychic", so when she gives him a medal declaring him the World's Most Powerful Psychic, he treats it as Serious Business even into adulthood. | |

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Manny is clearly Susan's favorite son, probably because he's the youngest. Rowley's mother is overly loving and protective towards him. This may explain Rowley's Kiddie Kid behavior. Old School: Julian Trimble was very attached to his mom as a kid. One time, in second grade, he clung to his mom so tightly that the vice principal had to come down and peel them apart. |

You Were Never Really Here is one of the more positive depictions of this trope. Vigilante Man Joe is a middle aged man living with his mother, who is old enough that he will soon need to start looking after her, but their relationship is not shown as controlling or exploitative from either side. The only time in the film that Joe laughs is when his mother pranks him. | |

One staple of the Mother series is that the protagonists all have really, really good relationships with their moms. In EarthBound (1994), Ness might get homesick and lose the will to fight until he either visits or calls his mom. In the third game this gets Played for Drama. Poor Lucas... Giegue from the first game is heavily implied to have been one as a child, and hell, deep down, in his own way, he's still one decades later even though by then he's the main villain And here we were thinking Sephiroth was a momma's boy, not that this is a bad thing. |

Ash Ketchum from Pokémon: The Series. Why wouldn't he be one? His mother is the only family he has, and he understandably flips out if something bad happens to her (see also: the third movie, Spell of the Unown). To be fair, even a non-Momma's Boy would flip if their mother was in mortal danger. | |

League of Legends has a few instances of this being played positively, and funnily enough, both of them happen to be incredibly strong, manly men. Braum, the Heart of the Freljord, loves everyone, so it's expected he loves his mom too. Some of his in-game dialogue has him warmly recall his mother's advice. Sett, the Boss, is a rugged, brash pit fighter-turned-champion-turned-boss of an underground fighting ring, and he utterly adores his mother. He uses much of his earnings to give her a comfortable life (even if he doesn't tell her where he actually got them), and in his joke emote, he reveals he keeps a picture of her and blows a kiss at it. Aww. |

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba: Kyojuro Rengoku dearly loved his mother, who died of an illness when Kyojuro was young and taught him that he had a duty to use his strength to protect others. As Kyojuro is dying, he sees a vision of his mother and asks her if he used his gifts well. Sanemi Shinazugawa's burning hatred of all demons is directly related to how much Sanemi loved his mother Shizu. The fact such a loving mother became a mindless demon, unable to recognize her own children, killing almost all of them, forcing Sanemi to kill her in pure self-defense, made him a firm believer demons are all evil, no matter how much of a loving human they used to be; that is also what made Sanemi doubt so fervently about Nezuko ever being a good demon through the bond she shared with her brother Tanjiro, if his sweet mom couldn’t resist her demonic urges, why would anyone else? Nezuko proving Sanemi wrong shocks him deeply. |

Male Hawke in Dragon Age II can be played this way; despite the cynical setting, there's nothing preventing him from being devoted and kind to his mother Leandra. Hawke's best friend Varric had a Lady Drunk for a mother, and his youth was spent taking care of her since she couldn't take care of herself, but some of his dialogue implies that he doesn't resent her for it and still managed to be quite fond of her. | |

He is devoted to his mother as a human (and it's his first defining relationship), and turns her into a vampire after Drusilla turns him because she was dying of tuberculosis. She, however, becomes extremely cruel post-transformation and comes onto him, which horrified him so much that he staked her. | |

The Bridge has a positive example with Azusa Gojo and her adoptive son, Godzilla Junior. After hatching at Kyoto Institute and imprinting on Azusa thinking she was his mother, the upbringing and love she showed him is what made him grow up into a protector of mankind and the Big Good for his setting. Twenty years later and despite Junior being well aware they are different species, they still consider each other mother and son respectively. Enough that bringing her in to talk to her son face to face was intrumental for his emotional arc. | |

Gohan and Goten in Dragon Ball Z. In Dragon Ball GT, Goten is 22 and still lives with Mom, while Gohan is pushing thirty and lives right next-door with his wife and daughter. Chichi is overly strict with Gohan and seems to have realized her mistakes and been overly lenient with Goten, but both sons love her dearly. Trunks counts too whether it be the Bad Future or the present, since he’s much closer to Bulma than he is to his arrogant father Vegeta. This is especially evident when Gero nearly kills Bulma and baby Trunks, forcing Future Trunks himself to step in and save them, then yell at Vegeta for neglecting his family. |

In John Gardner's Grendel, which is Beowulf told from the monster's point of view, Grendel was quite the little Mama's Boy as a lad. It includes hurling himself at his mother when he became frightened (or when he feels horribly displaced or 'obscene'), followed by a very vague implied comfort-nursing. Since Grendel is recalling it in first-person, he remembers this. His traumatic growing up scene begins with straying out too far into the morning, following the scent of a newborn calf. He finds it to be "as sweet as his mama's milk". Once again, he remembers. How old was he when this happened... eleven, maybe? In his adult life, he drifts from being a Mama's Boy a little, despising his mother's apparently inability to speak or desire to leave their cave. And yet he always returns to her, with Mama trying to keep him from leaving her until he actually picks her up and puts her aside. Literally and figuratively. She didn't react well to "being put aside" and never tries to stop him from leaving again. Which is where Beowulf later kills him. |

Initially, Bruce Wayne was depicted as loving both parents and missing them equally after they were gunned down, without particularly favoring one over the other. In the wake of Crisis on Infinite Earths and Batman: Year One, however, Thomas Wayne became the predominant parent figure, to the point where many of Bruce's Inner Monologues are half-delusional conversations with Thomas' ghost. Year One being a massive trendsetter in the industry, subsequent authors took it to the point where, as one reviewer put it, "Bruce's thoughts are so daddy daddy daddy-centric it's easy to forget he even had a mother attached to that precious string of pearls." | |
