Destiny 2 is officially dead

Overview

The meme is a single panel image featuring bold, large black text at the top that reads 'Destiny 2 is officially dead'. Below the text is a widely recognized historical illustration of Paul Revere's famous midnight ride, depicting Revere riding a galloping horse at night, holding a lit lantern out in his outstretched hand while shouting, with a man carrying a rifle running behind him near a small lit cottage. The meme uses the imagery of Revere spreading urgent, important news to make a sarcastic, hyperbolic announcement that the online game Destiny 2 is no longer popular, relevant, or playable to its community.

Origin notes

This meme was sourced from the RSS feed of the Reddit r/Meme subreddit, where it was originally posted with the title 'Finally It happend'. It follows a common meme format that repurposes the classic Paul Revere midnight ride artwork by adding text over it to share sarcastic breaking news about pop culture, gaming, or internet community topics, usually to announce a widely anticipated or joked-about event.

A meme featuring four sequential frames from a scene in Peaky Blinders, showing Thomas Shelby holding a gun to his head with increasingly intense and desperate expressions.

An animated meme depicting a distressed young girl with blonde hair, a red flower accessory, and a blue dress sitting on the floor, crying with tears in her eyes. To her left stands a tall, robot-like skeleton figure next to a desk. The image contains two text overlays: on the left side, 'The 217 n-words in Huckleberry Finn' and in front of the girl, 'The n-word in To Kill a Mockingbird'. The meme humorously contrasts the frequency of the racial slur 'n-word' in Mark Twain's *Adventures of Huckleberry Finn* (217 instances) versus Harper Lee's *To Kill a Mockingbird* (far fewer instances), with the girl symbolizing Lee's work being overshadowed by Twain's more frequent use.

This is a two-panel edited meme using a scene from the film *The Last Samurai*. The top panel features a character from the film with the overlaid text 'tell me how halo died'. The bottom panel edits the head of the responding character in the film to be Master Chief's signature green helmet from the Halo video game franchise, with overlaid text 'I will tell you how it lived'. The meme expresses the sentiment of long-time Halo fans who are disappointed by the declining quality of later Halo games and adaptations, asserting that the franchise's beloved earlier legacy is more significant than its current poorly received state, matching the core message that 'Halo deserved better'.

This is a relatable meme composed of two parts: the top section has text reading 'Me when I have a cough that lasts more than a day or two:', followed by a screenshot from the video game Red Dead Redemption 2 showing protagonist Arthur Morgan leaning over his horse while riding, visibly ill and pained. The joke draws on the game's plot where Arthur contracts fatal tuberculosis and suffers from persistent coughing fits, humorously comparing people's overreaction to minor, short-lived coughs to Arthur's terminal illness.

This meme uses the classic three-panel progressively poorly drawn horse template to mock Sony's recent string of failed high-budget video game projects labeled the 'Concord Trilogy'. The first two panels show the cover art for the recently cancelled online PvP shooter *Concord* and the scrapped game *Highguard*, each crossed out with a large red X to indicate their cancellation after millions in development costs were spent. The third panel shows the cover for the upcoming *Marathon* game, paired with the lopsided, derpy, poorly drawn final panel of the horse, implying that the only remaining project from this set is underwhelming and unlikely to recoup the massive losses from the first two cancelled titles, playing on the original title of 'Wasting millions to make hundreds'.

A two-panel comparison meme. The left panel features the text 'Silent Hill games' above a high-quality photograph of Cristiano Ronaldo with a serious, neutral expression. The right panel features the text 'Silent Hill movies' above the infamous poorly sculpted bronze statue of Ronaldo, known for its distorted facial features and meme status. The visual metaphor humorously implies Silent Hill games are of high quality (like the real Ronaldo) while the movies are of lower quality (like the flawed statue).

The meme consists of two visual sections with overlaid text. The top section features Link, the protagonist from *The Legend of Zelda* series, depicted in his iconic green tunic, holding a sword and shield, and standing resolutely in front of a glowing golden portal. Overlaid text reads: 'me thinking I'm prepared for 2026', conveying a sense of confidence and readiness. The bottom section shows a blurred, vibrant golden background with the bold text 'THE FIRST WEEK', humorously contrasting the initial confidence with the overwhelming reality of the first week of the new year. The joke hinges on the relatable theme of overestimating one's preparedness for future challenges versus the unexpected chaos that often ensues.

A meme featuring a modified version of the 19th-century painting 'American Progress' by John Gast. The top text reads 'AMERICAN REDDITORS ON THEIR WAY TO COLONIZE AN APOLITICAL SUBREDDIT:' The painting depicts a large, robed woman (Columbia, personifying American progress) striding westward, leading settlers, telegraph wires, covered wagons, and wildlife. The meme satirically compares American Redditors inserting political discussions (e.g., about ICE) into unrelated, apolitical subreddits (such as pet-focused communities) to historical westward expansion/colonization, criticizing the tendency to derail non-political online spaces with political content.

A 2x2 grid meme featuring four sequential frames of a young child sliding down a bright yellow slide. The top-left and top-right frames both display the text 'January 2026' with the child appearing relatively calm. The bottom-left frame is labeled 'Also January 2026,' showing the child looking more distressed, and the bottom-right frame reads '... January 2026' with the child visibly upset, mouth open as if crying.

A meme illustrating how nostalgia distorts our perception of the past. The top of the image reads 'Nostalgia be like:' followed by a creepy, humanoid figure with hollow eyes labeled '2014:'. Below it is the same figure labeled '2022:' with a speech bubble containing a small, colorful, simplistic drawing of a person with a sunset background, also labeled '2014:'. The visual joke demonstrates how we remember the past (2014) as more positive and idealized than it actually was.
