Origin notes

Originated as a meme on Reddit, utilizing the popular 'I Sleep/Real Shit' template where two scenarios are compared with contrasting reactions.

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 meme featuring a top text that reads 'Superheroes in Marvel when the world is getting destroyed, but it's not their movie.' Below the text is a photograph of a white dog peacefully sleeping in bed, covered with a pink blanket. The room has red walls with framed pictures hanging, creating a cozy atmosphere. The meme humorously compares Marvel superheroes' inaction when a crisis occurs outside their own movie to a dog sleeping through a disturbance, implying they don't get involved unless it's their main story.

The meme consists of two lines of text at the top, followed by an edited photograph. The top text reads 'Marvel movie : ends' and 'Marvel fans in the theatre :'. The image below shows four identical copies of a young boy sitting in red theater seats, all with arms crossed and a serious, expectant expression looking forward. The joke references the widely known convention of Marvel Cinematic Universe films including one or more post-credits scenes, so dedicated fans remain in their seats even after the main feature concludes, waiting for the extra content.

This meme uses a classic scene from the animated series The Simpsons, where Lisa Simpson stands on a stage in front of a projection screen delivering a presentation to an unseen audience. The text displayed on the projection screen reads "The multiverse is just a fancy way of saying: Different writers did their own thing". The joke satirizes the frequent use of the multiverse trope in mainstream American superhero comics, framing the high-concept sci-fi idea as a convenient excuse to handwave away inconsistencies in canon and storytelling that arise when different writers take over the same franchise properties over time.

A four-panel meme collage. Top left: A simple, happy-drawn character with the text 'ONE DAY I'LL HAVE A BODY LIKE THOR FROM AVENGERS!'. Top right: A screenshot of the muscular 2012 version of Thor from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, labeled '2012'. Bottom left: A more rugged, sunglasses-wearing drawn character with the text 'I FINALLY DID IT!'. Bottom right: A screenshot of the overweight 2019 version of Thor (from Avengers: Endgame), labeled '2019'. The joke hinges on the irony of achieving the 'Thor body' dream but ending up with the later, heavier iteration instead of the muscular one.

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 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.

A meme consisting of a close-up photograph of a person displaying an intense, concentrated frown with furrowed eyebrows and gritted teeth, paired with the text: 'Me checking for a post credit scene in every movie because marvel started a thing.'

This three-panel meme uses Brian Griffin and Stewie Griffin from the animated TV show *Family Guy* to deliver a joke about DC Comics' Justice League. In the first panel, Brian is labeled 'Superman' and says, 'The Justice League will pay for the damages,' with a tired, resigned expression. The second panel shows Stewie reacting with wide, shocked eyes, looking at Brian. In the third panel, Stewie is labeled 'Batman,' maintaining his shocked, bewildered look. The humor comes from the common DC trope that Batman, being extremely wealthy, is always the one who ends up covering the costs of the Justice League's property damage, subverting Superman's statement by implying Batman will be the one footing the bill.

A meme collage featuring a top text overlay that humorously claims a 'rare aesthetic' where directors depict male protagonists as 'losers' by casting them as salesmen (specifically excluding real estate salesmen as 'not loser enough'). Below the text are three vertically aligned screenshots of characters labeled: left - 'Mobius (Loki)' (a man in a blue jacket with glasses hanging around his neck, gesturing), middle - 'Deadpool (Deadpool & Wolverine)' (a man in a blue polo shirt with a name tag, sitting with clasped hands), and right - 'Andy (40 year old virgin)' (a man in a gray polo shirt, sitting). The meme satirizes the trope of using salesmen as a shorthand for loser characters in media.

This meme uses a screenshot of a tearful woman from a live-action film, paired with ironic text to joke about media consumption in 2050. The top text frames the scenario: a person reacting to a poorly made human-created movie (with bad writing, direction, and cinematography) in a future dominated by AI-generated content. The bottom text, overlaid on the character's emotional face, reads "It's so beautiful." The humor stems from the irony: in a world of AI media, even flawed human-made content becomes a nostalgic, precious novelty, evoking overwhelming joy and tears from the viewer. The character's overwhelmed, crying expression perfectly captures this bittersweet nostalgia for authentic, human-created art.
