Someone: Whatever happens, happens. *Whatever happens. That someone: [Image of Thanos with 'Impossible']
Overview
A meme consisting of two parts: top text and an image. The top text reads: 'Someone: Whatever happens, happens. *Whatever happens. That someone:'. Below this text is a close-up image of Thanos, a purple-skinned character from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, wearing armor with a shocked expression. At the bottom of the image is the word 'Impossible'. The humor arises from the contrast between the initial dismissive phrase 'Whatever happens, happens' (indicating nonchalance) and Thanos's shocked reaction labeled 'Impossible', implying the person's confidence is shattered when an unexpected event occurs.
Origin notes
The meme originates from Reddit (specifically the Meme community). It uses a screenshot of Thanos from Marvel's Avengers films (likely Avengers: Infinity War or Endgame), where Thanos is known for dramatic reactions. The original movie scene's context is repurposed by adding text to create a reaction meme, mocking overconfidence that is quickly disproven.
