Origin notes

It is a remix of real-person imagery and fictional character content, intended for humorous and sarcastic political commentary.

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.
