This meme consists of a text caption above a screenshot from the 2019 film Avengers: Endgame. The top text reads: 'When you come back home late and she’s making sure you didn’t cheat on her by checking if you’re shooting blanks.' The image below shows Captain Marvel holding a pained, struggling Thanos restrained close to her. The joke uses the dramatic, uncomfortable scene as an exaggerated visual metaphor for a partner performing an extreme, intrusive check to confirm their significant other has not been sexually active with another person while out late, with the slang phrase 'shooting blanks' referring here to having no remaining semen after recent sexual activity, which would be treated as evidence of cheating. The humor derives from the absurd, over-the-top depiction of this relationship trust test using a well-known Marvel cinematic scene.

This meme uses a screenshot of the character Thanos from the Marvel film *Avengers: Endgame*, where Thanos appears worn out and defeated after a battle, getting ready to leave the scene. The joke frames Thanos as the Hantavirus, which received minimal public attention and concern when it was briefly covered in news cycles during the early COVID-19 pandemic, implying the virus is leaving Earth dejectedly after noticing no one cares about its spread.

The meme features white text at the top reading "no offense but this is what all marvel movies look like to me now", placed above a still from the 2005 live-action children's fantasy film *The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl*. The still shows the character Lavagirl in a pink futuristic suit standing in the foreground with a neutral serious expression, and the protagonist Max, wearing a yellow suit, standing behind her with a wide-eyed surprised look. They are positioned in front of a highly saturated, stylized CGI fantasy landscape with colorful skies, jagged rock formations, and blocky paved ground. The joke satirizes common criticisms of recent Marvel Cinematic Universe films, which are often panned for overusing overly bright, cheap-looking CGI and generic sci-fi/fantasy visual aesthetics by comparing them to the intentionally whimsical, lower-budget CGI of the 2005 children's movie.

This two-panel edited meme repurposes the iconic 'soul for a soul' scene from Marvel's *Avengers: Infinity War*, where Thanos extracts the Mind Stone from Vision to complete his Infinity Gauntlet. In the edited first panel, Vision's forehead is replaced with a Samsung TV remote, and the Mind Stone is swapped for a Duracell battery that Thanos is pulling out. The second panel edits the scene further: instead of placing the stone into his Infinity Gauntlet, Thanos inserts the stolen battery into an Xbox controller. The humor comes from the extremely relatable common household experience of taking batteries out of the TV remote to power a video game controller, framing the petty, common act as the grand, high-stakes trade Thanos performs in the original film.

This is a two-panel meme using footage from the 2015 Marvel film *Ant-Man*. The first panel shows the character Scott Lang (played by Paul Rudd) sitting in a vehicle, saying 'Look, man. I got a Masters in Electrical Engineering, alright?' The second panel cuts to Scott in a pink polo shirt, blue apron, and Baskin Robbins branded cap, working behind the counter of a Baskin Robbins store, saying 'Welcome to Baskin-Robbins.' Below the two panels, a Reddit comment from user dagangstapenguin reads 'The most realistic scene in any Marvel movie.' The joke highlights the relatable real-world struggle of highly educated people facing underemployment, being forced to take low-wage service jobs unrelated to their qualifications, which feels far more grounded in ordinary reality than typical superhero movie plotlines.

This is a 3-panel meme using the iconic elevator fight scene from Captain America: Civil War. In the first panel, Captain America asks the question 'what's a bacteria's favourite direction?'. In the second panel, one of the men in the elevator responds 'what?', and Captain America answers 'yEast'. The third panel shows all the men in the elevator immediately starting to attack Captain America, as an exaggerated reaction to the cringey pun. The joke relies on wordplay: 'yeast', a common microbe often mentioned alongside bacteria in biology, is a perfect homophone for 'east', a cardinal direction.

This is a 4-panel dad joke meme using the iconic elevator fight scene from the 2014 Marvel film *Captain America: The Winter Soldier*. The first panel shows the character Steve Rogers/Captain America saying 'Yesterday I made Holy Water at home.' The second panel cuts to a bald S.H.I.E.L.D. agent asking 'how did you do it?' The third panel shows Captain America replying with the pun punchline 'I boiled the hell out of it.' The fourth panel shows all the agents in the elevator reacting with exasperated amusement, with one agent holding back laughter and others restraining Captain America. The humor comes from the double meaning of the common phrase 'boil the hell out of it': the phrase normally means to boil something very thoroughly, but the joke takes it literally, implying that boiling water removes 'hell' from it, turning it into holy water.

This is a humorous meme that uses a screencap of Captain America and Bucky Barnes from the Marvel film *Captain America: Civil War*. The overlaid text reads 'Me, a European. Time traveling back to ninth of November to warn New York about 9/11'. The core joke relies on the difference in date formatting conventions: Europeans use day/month order, so they read '9/11' as 9th November, while Americans use month/day order, so '9/11' refers to the September 11th 2001 terrorist attacks. The European time traveler intends to warn New York about the 9/11 attacks but arrives on the completely wrong date, rendering their mission useless as the punchline.

This is a two-panel crossover reaction meme. The top panel shows a live action scene from Amazon Prime's *The Boys* where Soldier Boy holds an oxygen mask to his face and angrily shouts a defiant declaration that he will not be imprisoned back in the box he was held in for decades. The bottom panel features the animated Watcher character from Marvel's *What If...?* standing against a vibrant cosmic backdrop with planets visible, delivering a deadpan narration mocking Soldier Boy's boast: he points out this line was the moment Soldier Boy made a major mistake, as he actually ended up being locked back in the box twice after making this statement.

This is a single-panel reaction meme. The top text reads 'My motivation after not getting the first job I applied to', paired with a still of a heavily damaged, disintegrating Thanos from the final battle scene of *Avengers: Endgame*. The bottom subtitle on the image reads 'Gone, reduced to atoms.' The joke draws a relatable comparison between the total, irreversible loss of motivation following a first job application rejection and Thanos being completely disintegrated into dust after his defeat in the film.

This is a 4-panel collage meme with a top header that reads "MARVEL STUFF I WANT TO RIDE". The first two panels show large, iconic Marvel fictional vehicles: the falling SHIELD Helicarrier, and a Guardians of the Galaxy style spaceship flying near Earth, setting up the expectation that the list will cover vehicles from the franchise. The final two panels subvert this expectation entirely by featuring popular female Marvel characters instead: first the Scarlet Witch (Wanda Maximoff) smiling at the camera, then Kate Bishop (Hawkeye) leaning into a car with her back turned. The joke relies on the double meaning of the verb "ride", which can refer both to operating or traveling in a vehicle, and to sexual intercourse, turning the innocent list prompt into an adult innuendo about attraction to the two characters.

This is a wholesome relatable meme using a well-known screenshot of the character Thanos from the Marvel Cinematic Universe film Avengers: Endgame. The top text sets up the scenario: "When you moved 2 hours away but you drive back to hang out with your longtime friends". The bottom text edits Thanos' famous original line from the scene to read "A small price to pay to see you guys". The joke frames the 2-hour long drive as a trivial sacrifice to spend time with close friends, using Thanos' serious, committed demeanor to humorously exaggerate how worth it seeing old friends is after moving away.
