Its like a rite of passage, or something

tfw you sign a contract that you're supposed to appear in MCU movies for the next 10-15 years but you bog yourself before the first movie is even out
Why did she do it bros?

This is a comparison meme featuring two side-by-side photos of actress Vanessa Kirby, who was cast as Sue Storm in the upcoming MCU Fantastic Four reboot. The left photo shows an older red carpet appearance of Kirby with loose wavy blonde hair, soft natural makeup, and a light halter dress. The right photo shows a more recent public appearance of Kirby with slicked back blonde hair, heavy sharp makeup, multiple ear piercings, and altered facial features widely attributed to cosmetic surgery. Below the photos, 4chan-style greentext reads '>tfw you sign a contract that you're supposed to appear in MCU movies for the next 10-15 years but you bog yourself before the first movie is even out', followed by the question 'Why did she do it bros?'. The meme jokes that Kirby got unflattering plastic surgery that negatively changed her appearance before her first MCU film even premiered, referencing the common online observation that many actresses cast in long-term Marvel Cinematic Universe contracts get obvious, often poorly received, cosmetic work done shortly after being cast.

The meme was originally posted to 4chan on July 21, 2025, as indicated by the Anonymous poster header, post timestamp, post number, file metadata, and greentext formatting visible at the top of the image. It was later reposted to the platform 9Gag, where it was given the original title 'Its like a rite of passage, or something'. The meme references the 2024 casting announcement of Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm in the MCU's Fantastic Four franchise, with the first film in the franchise scheduled for a 2025 theatrical release.
