This is a reaction meme featuring the character Pomni from the animated web series The Amazing Digital Circus. The top text describes a hypothetical 2026 scenario where four of the year's top box office hits are films created by independent YouTuber creators. A semi-transparent overlay lists these fictional hit films with their respective box office grosses: *The Amazing Digital Circus: The Last Act* at $207,999,405, *Obsession* at $202,700,000, *The Backrooms* at $200,371,064, and *Iron Lung* at $194,339,737. The character Pomni is shown with a smug, satisfied smirk, followed by the text 'He.' (a casual amused chuckle), conveying the poster's smug pleasure at the idea of creator-led independent projects outperforming traditional major studio films at the box office.

This meme is an edited version of the official promotional poster for the 2024 indie horror film *Obsession*. Top text jokes that Disney fits the definition of 'obsession' after their $250 million budget Star Wars theatrical release was outperformed at the box office by the low-budget independent horror film. The bottom of the image features a popular reaction meme template: one man in a lab coat gesturing as if explaining the box office results, and a second man in a suit slouched over with his head hanging, representing disappointed Disney executives processing the bad news. The original poster's red background, title text, dictionary definition of 'obsession', and theatrical release date text are retained in the edit.

This meme plays on the sentiment that Hollywood lacks original creative output, matching the original source title 'Evil cannot create anything new'. It opens with text stating that a new 'Godfather' film is officially in development 54 years after the original 1972 film was released. It then displays a still of Marlon Brando as Vito Corleone from the original Godfather next to the official The Godfather franchise logo. Below that, a snippet of a post from X (formerly Twitter) user @crushmarxismnow (display name Common Sense Extremists) sarcastically asks 'Who are Pedro Pascal and Zendaya going to play?', mocking the common modern Hollywood trend of casting popular current A-list actors in classic franchise reboots, and implying frustration with the lack of original film projects being produced.

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.

This is a 4-panel comic meme. The first panel shows a smug cartoon corporate presentation character introducing a new film franchise. The second panel displays the official poster for the *Underworld* film franchise, featuring the lead vampire character Selene, played by Kate Beckinsale, holding two guns and presented as visually attractive. The third panel shows a second cartoon character asking what the plot of the new franchise is. The fourth panel cuts back to the presentation character, who smirks and replies "Plot?" This relies on a double meaning pun: "plot" refers both to the narrative story of a film, and is also internet slang for an attractive person's physique, implying the franchise's main selling point is the attractive lead rather than a well-written story.

This is a 3-panel satirical comic meme mocking Disney's modern film content strategy. In the first panel, a Disney executive at the head of a conference table says they need new movie ideas, with the Disney logo identifying the company. In the second panel, two attendees suggest sequels to popular existing Disney franchises: *Toy Story 5* and *Frozen 3*. A third attendee suggests making an original, non-sequel film. In the third panel, the attendee who suggested an original film is thrown out of a high-rise office window by Disney, humorously showing that Disney rejects original ideas and only wants more sequels to existing hit franchises.
