You've gotta pump them up! The Odyssey trailer is most disliked since Snow White

This meme uses the original 9Gag post title 'You've gotta pump them up!' referring to accumulating dislikes for unpopular new Hollywood remakes. The graphic shows a shouting muscular ancient Greek soldier, a character from the upcoming *The Odyssey* adaptation, in the main fiery battle-themed background, with an inset circular portrait of Rachel Zegler as the lead in the 2025 live action *Snow White* remake. Overlaid white bold text states that the newly released *The Odyssey* Hollywood trailer is now the most disliked Hollywood trailer since the *Snow White* remake, with a red 'NEWS' label above the text and a 'FILM BUZZR' watermark in the top right corner. The joke references widespread audience backlash against both remakes for creative changes that deviate heavily from their original source material, joking that audiences are actively 'pumping up' the dislike count for these poorly received adaptations.

'THE ODYSSEY' IS NOW THE MOST DISLIKED HOLLYWOOD TRAILER SINCE 'SNOW WHITE'

Overview

This meme uses the original 9Gag post title 'You've gotta pump them up!' referring to accumulating dislikes for unpopular new Hollywood remakes. The graphic shows a shouting muscular ancient Greek soldier, a character from the upcoming The Odyssey adaptation, in the main fiery battle-themed background, with an inset circular portrait of Rachel Zegler as the lead in the 2025 live action Snow White remake. Overlaid white bold text states that the newly released The Odyssey Hollywood trailer is now the most disliked Hollywood trailer since the Snow White remake, with a red 'NEWS' label above the text and a 'FILM BUZZR' watermark in the top right corner. The joke references widespread audience backlash against both remakes for creative changes that deviate heavily from their original source material, joking that audiences are actively 'pumping up' the dislike count for these poorly received adaptations.

Origin notes

This meme was sourced from an RSS feed of 9Gag, originally created and posted by film content creator account Film Buzzr. It comments on the widespread negative audience reaction to the 2024 trailer release for the upcoming Hollywood adaptation of Homer's classic epic The Odyssey, comparing its poor public reception to the heavily criticized 2025 live action Snow White remake that was widely panned by audiences upon its own trailer release. The title 'You've gotta pump them up!' is a playful reference to viewers adding dislikes to the trailers of these unpopular remakes.

This sarcastic meme mocks perceived manufactured online outrage over a rumored Netflix live-action *Scooby-Doo* reboot having an all-white cast. The main image shows four live-action actors portraying the core human *Scooby-Doo* characters (Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy) peeking nervously around a wooden staircase. A circular inset on the right shows the original animated *Scooby-Doo* core cast, who are all depicted as white. Text formatted as breaking news at the bottom reads 'FANS ARE UPSET THAT THE \'SCOOBY DOO\' CAST IS ALL WHITE'. The joke highlights the irony that the original source material already had an all-white cast, implying the supposed complaining fans do not exist, referencing the common internet rhetorical question 'are [group] in the room with us right now?' to call out fake grievances.

This meme consists of a screenshot of a verified DiscussingFilm X (formerly Twitter) post reporting that the Saudi Arabia-funded film 'Desert Warrior' is on track to become one of the biggest box office flops of all time, having earned only $488,000 against its $150 million production budget, paired with official promotional art for the film showing the lead warrior character holding two swords against a golden sunset desert backdrop. The 9Gag repost adds a sarcastic joke in its title, suggesting the film would perform far better if it was renamed 'Desert Harem Babes', implying leaning into male gaze-oriented, tropey suggestive harem content would draw a larger audience than its current serious action premise.

The image is a meme featuring a photograph of actor Jack Black wearing a colorful, galaxy-patterned shirt with a red collar. To his left is an animated character with spiky orange hair, a black mask, and gloved hands clasped together, resembling a character from the animated film 'Turning Red'. Below them is a bold headline in white text on a black background: 'JACK BLACK ADMITS TURNING DOWN SYNDROME BECAME HIS BIGGEST CAREER REGRET'. The meme uses a harmful pun, misappropriating the term 'Down syndrome' (a genetic condition) by combining it with 'Turning Down' (likely referencing the film 'Turning Red'), creating a misleading and offensive statement falsely attributed to Jack Black.

A side-by-side comparison meme contrasting the portrayal of Helen of Troy in 2004 and 2026. The left panel shows the traditional depiction from the 2004 film 'Troy,' featuring a blonde, elegant woman in a dark dress with gold earrings, adjusting her clothing. The right panel presents a 2026 satirical or contemporary version: a Black woman in a simple white robe sitting on grass with a coastal background, appearing contemplative. The meme humorously references the Trojan War's premise—Helen being the 'face that launched a thousand ships'—by implying a cultural shift in her portrayal over time, possibly commenting on evolving representation in media.

This meme is a two-panel satirical collage criticizing perceived absurd double standards in Hollywood casting. The top panel features a still of Black actress Lupita Nyong'o playing Helen of Troy, a legendary Ancient Greek figure widely depicted and described as a white, fair-skinned woman, with overlay text reading 'Helen of Troy'. The bottom panel shows a blonde, fair-skinned white woman in ancient Greek-style attire pointing forward, with overlay text reading 'Basketball player'. The joke works by sarcastically highlighting the inconsistency: Hollywood will cast a Black actor as a historically/mythically white character, but would never cast a white actor for a role stereotypically associated with Black people, making fun of unfaithful 'diversity' casting choices that ignore source material context.

HE'S THE GERALT I GREW UP WITH." — FREYA ALLAN ON CONSIDERING QUITTING AFTER HENRY CAVILL LEFT THE WITCHER.

This is a sarcastic meme using a fake breaking news format. It features a formal portrait of Elon Musk wearing a tuxedo and bow tie, smiling at the camera. Below the portrait is a standard 'LIVE BREAKING NEWS' banner, followed by large bold text that reads 'ELON MUSK is No More', with small subtext directly underneath that says 'a trillionaire'. The humor comes from the intentional misleading line break: readers initially think the headline is announcing Elon Musk's death, until they read the small subtext revealing the headline actually means Musk has lost his status as a trillionaire, with his net worth dropping below $1 trillion USD.
