HOLLYWOOD ADAPTATIONS 101
Overview
This is a 4-panel reaction meme using a clip from the 1993 parody film Robin Hood: Men in Tights. The first panel shows the character excitedly stating "It's good!", referencing the surprisingly well-received Masters of the Universe adaptation. The second panel shows him confused, repeating "It's good?" as he processes the unexpected positive quality. The third panel has him reacting in shock, exclaiming "It's not supposed to be good!", mocking the common low expectations for Hollywood franchise adaptations. The fourth panel shows him pulling out a book labeled "HOLLYWOOD ADAPTATIONS 101" while saying "Let me see the script...", implying that a good adaptation goes against the standard unwritten rules for Hollywood's franchise media releases.
Origin notes
This meme was sourced from an RSS feed of the Reddit r/Meme subreddit, with the original posted title noting that the Masters of the Universe adaptation is surprisingly decent. It uses a widely circulated reaction meme template taken from Robin Hood: Men in Tights, edited to add custom text that jokes about the low bar for quality for Hollywood adaptations of existing intellectual property.
