2010s vs 2020s CGI Quality (As Told By Pizza)
Text content
A comparison meme using pizza to satirize declining CGI quality: 2010s CGI is represented by a high-quality, cheesy pizza, while 2020s CGI is depicted as a low-effort 'pizza' consisting of bread with minimal melted cheese and two small blobs of tomato sauce
Overview
A 2x2 grid meme comparing CGI quality between the 2010s and 2020s using pizza as a metaphor. The top-left quadrant contains bold white text 'CGI IN 2010S' on a plain white background, paired with a top-right image of a well-made, golden-brown cheese pizza with evenly distributed seasoning and multiple slices, representing high-quality, polished CGI. The bottom-left quadrant has bold white text 'CGI IN 2020S' on a plain white background, paired with a bottom-right image of a low-effort 'pizza'—a slice of bread with melted cheese and only two small, uneven blobs of tomato sauce—symbolizing a decline in CGI quality, appearing lazy or rushed. The humor lies in the satirical implication that 2020s CGI has regressed to a simplistic, low-effort state, analogous to the poorly made 'pizza'
Origin notes
The meme originates from Reddit, specifically the r/Meme community, with the original title 'What went wrong?'—a rhetorical question emphasizing the perceived decline in CGI quality over the past decade. It uses a common internet meme format of text-image comparison to convey its satirical message about technological regression in visual effects
