Florence Pugh Plays Both Dune 3 And Avengers Doomsday Meme

This meme jokes about real entertainment news that *Dune 3* and *Avengers: Doomsday* are scheduled to release on the exact same date, with both productions in a standoff over the schedule. Actress Florence Pugh stars in major roles in both franchises, so the meme edits her image into a popular scene template from *It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia*. The existing line "I'm playing both sides, so that I always come out on top" perfectly fits the situation, highlighting that Pugh will benefit no matter which movie performs better, since she is cast in both.

'Dune 3' and 'Avengers: Doomsday' in Stand-Off Over Same Release Date: "Somebody's Gotta Move"

Overview

This meme jokes about real entertainment news that Dune 3 and Avengers: Doomsday are scheduled to release on the exact same date, with both productions in a standoff over the schedule. Actress Florence Pugh stars in major roles in both franchises, so the meme edits her image into a popular scene template from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Origin notes

This meme originated on Reddit as a viral reaction to the 2024 announcement that Dune 3 and Avengers: Doomsday share the same release date. It is an edited meme that repurposes the iconic "playing both sides" scene template from the sitcom It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, replacing the original character with Florence Pugh to fit the joke.

A two-panel meme using screenshots from the animated TV show 'SpongeBob SquarePants.' The top panel features a large green monster (likely the Hash-Slinging Slasher from SpongeBob lore) with the text 'Marvel bringing back RDJ and Chris Evans,' humorously depicting Marvel Studios' rumored/reported efforts to revive Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man) and Chris Evans (Captain America) in future films. The bottom panel shows SpongeBob SquarePants with a tired, unimpressed expression and the text 'Me who doesn't care anymore,' conveying audience apathy or fatigue towards such revivals. The meme讽刺 (satirizes) the perception of Marvel relying on nostalgia rather than new ideas, contrasting the hype of actor comebacks with a disinterested reaction.

A two-panel meme featuring a South Park-style animated character in an office environment, wearing a black cap with 'MARVEL' written in red. The first panel shows the character with a neutral expression stating, 'Okay, so we're gonna be really secretive about the new trailers...' The second panel, in the same setting, shows the character with the same deadpan expression, followed by the text, 'Aaaaaand all of the trailers have leaked.' The humor stems from the irony of Marvel Studios' attempted secrecy regarding new trailers being undermined by leaks, a common occurrence in the entertainment industry.

This is a two-panel satirical meme arguing that the Breaking Bad series finale is unmatched in quality compared to poorly received later/final seasons of other popular TV shows. The top panel shows a public swimming pool: a struggling half-submerged boy is labeled 'The Boys S5', a happy girl held above water by a woman is labeled 'Stranger Things S5', and the woman holding her is labeled 'Game of Thrones S8', ranking these three disappointing seasons from worst to least bad in the eyes of fans. The bottom panel shows a skeleton sitting on a chair fully submerged at the pool bottom, labeled 'Walking Dead S11', implying this final season was received far more negatively than all the others shown. The core joke is that all listed seasons are widely considered letdowns, and none of them come close to the universal acclaim of Breaking Bad's finale.

A meme featuring a screenshot of a real human actor wearing a blue, textured outfit with gold accents (likely from a TV show or movie). The left side of the image has the text 'Me' overlaid, pointing to the actor, who has a neutral to slightly amused expression. The right side contains the text: 'Those mfs who genuinely get so upset over morally wrong characters that they have to physically go after the actors.' The meme critiques the phenomenon of fans harassing actors for portraying villainous or morally questionable characters, using the actor's calm demeanor to contrast with the described outrage.

A meme combining a text caption with a screenshot of Pikachu from the Pokémon animated series. The top text reads: 'The Fantastic Four when the guy named Victor Von Doom turns out to be evil:'. Below the text is an image of Pikachu with a shocked expression—wide eyes, raised eyebrows, and an open mouth—conveying exaggerated surprise. The background is a blurred green, typical of outdoor scenes in the Pokémon anime. The humor lies in the sarcastic implication that Victor Von Doom (Dr. Doom), a famously villainous character from Marvel Comics, has an obviously evil name and persona, making the Fantastic Four's shocked reaction (represented by Pikachu) comically unnecessary.

This is a single-panel reaction meme. The top text first states "Disney: *ruins Star Wars for everyone else*", followed by "Me whose brain naturally cancels out the sequels:". Below this text is a still frame of Elton John from his iconic "I'm Still Standing" music video, where he wears a light boater hat with a black band, white oversized sunglasses with tinted lenses, and a grey suit, with his mouth wide open as if singing or exclaiming happily. The bottom overlaid text on the image reads "I'M STILL STANDING". The joke conveys that the poster is unaffected by widespread fan criticism of Disney's Star Wars sequel trilogy, as they choose to ignore those films entirely and still enjoy the Star Wars franchise without negative feelings.

This is a two-panel comparison meme. The top panel shows a man in an official security entourage wearing an official Arsenal FC away jersey with the Emirates Fly Better sponsor logo, captioned "NYC Mayor in real life". The bottom panel shows the Marvel character Wilson Fisk/Kingpin, in a white suit with a stern, intimidating expression making a nearly identical open palm hand gesture, captioned "NYC Mayor in movies". The core joke plays on two layers: first, the contrast between gritty, stereotypical fictional portrayals of NYC mayors as powerful intimidating figures, and the surprisingly casual, relatable sight of a real high-profile public figure who is a clear Arsenal football fan, supporting the original post's claim that Arsenal fans are ubiquitous even in unexpected high status positions.

This meme satirizes the common internet criticism that review outlet IGN applies overly harsh, adult-focused standards to children's and family-friendly movies. The top text shows an exaggerated fake IGN review complaining that a children's movie isn't deep enough, demands that it include heavy philosophical themes and mature dramatic scenes, and gives it a very low 2/10 rating. Below the text is official promotional art for the 2023 *Super Mario Bros. Movie*, a lighthearted family film that IGN gave a below-average score to in real life, which this meme references. The joke pokes fun at the absurdity of expecting deep mature themes from a kids' movie that exists primarily to be fun and accessible for all ages.
