I ignore Disney Star Wars sequels so I still enjoy the franchise

This is a single-panel reaction meme. The top text first states "Disney: *ruins Star Wars for everyone else*", followed by "Me whose brain naturally cancels out the sequels:".

The bottom overlaid text on the image reads "I'M STILL STANDING". The joke conveys that the poster is unaffected by widespread fan criticism of Disney's Star Wars sequel trilogy, as they choose to ignore those films entirely and still enjoy the Star Wars franchise without negative feelings.

A two-panel meme using screenshots from the animated TV show 'SpongeBob SquarePants.' The top panel features a large green monster (likely the Hash-Slinging Slasher from SpongeBob lore) with the text 'Marvel bringing back RDJ and Chris Evans,' humorously depicting Marvel Studios' rumored/reported efforts to revive Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man) and Chris Evans (Captain America) in future films. The bottom panel shows SpongeBob SquarePants with a tired, unimpressed expression and the text 'Me who doesn't care anymore,' conveying audience apathy or fatigue towards such revivals.

This is a 4-panel comparison meme calling out generational hypocrisy. The top text first states 'MILLENNIALS CALLING OUT 67 AS BRAINROT...', referencing the popular Gen Z viral audio trend '67' that millennial and older generations often dismiss as meaningless, low-effort 'brain rot'. The second top line reads 'MEANWHILE MILLENNIALS 13 YEARS AGO...', followed by four panels of Japanese comedian Pikotaro, creator of the 2016 viral hit 'PPAP (Pen-Pineapple-Apple-Pen)', performing the silly, iconic hand gestures from his viral music video.
