Overview
This is a two-panel meme illustrating a widely recognized, predictable adventure movie trope. The top panel features the Overwatch character Mei clinging to the edge of a structure, appearing at risk of falling, paired with overlaid text that reads "MAIN CHARACTER WHO IS ABOUT TO FALL OFF A CLIFF". The bottom panel features the Overwatch character Mercy, backlit by bright golden light with her wings spread and halo glowing in a heroic savior pose, paired with overlaid text that reads "HIS PARTNER, WHO WENT MISSING AT THE START OF THE MOVIE RETURNS AND RESCUES HIM AT THE LAST SECOND". The meme pokes fun at how frequently this convenient last-minute rescue plot device appears in popular media.
