Question about English (US)
it appears in a comic book I read.
" so what's up with you getting all freaked out like that? "
what does "all" in this sentence mean?
is it unnatural without "all"?

It intensifies the action of – being freaked out – so that you get the sense that the person was indeed very freaked out. The emotion overtook them – they behaved in an extraordinary way.
You could drop it, but as you can see, it will change the meaning.

It’s fine without “all,” but more energetic and more casual with “all.”
