So I thought this was just supposed to be a cute moment between brother and sis... But apparently it's a reference to some stupid obscure meme from a few years ago? WTF? That is so cheap and tacky. These movies should avoid stooping so low, even if it is just one line. I mean, who the *beep* is going to remember some retarded meme in 5-10 years? Reverencing the meme places the the movie in a certain time period. To us the meme is a few years old, but to them, it is kind of fresh. If you didn't know, this movie takes place a week after Civil War. In his shuttle ride, the news mentions T'Chaka's death and Zemo. That wasn't archival news reports. |

The moment in the movie actually references this video.

So what are people watching this in five years, ten years, or fifty years going to think? And yes, I do think real filmmakers should consider future audiences to a certain extent. And really this goes beyond being dated. It's about the stupidity of referencing an Internet meme as if it were a meaningful part of pop culture. |

Even if it was a reference to some meme, it's just a joke. People in real life make references to pop culture memes all the time. It's not as it it were some sort of a trap  lol its lame and cringeworthy and you know it |

You know, I watch 12 Years A Slave and was like "why are they all looking like this was 200 years ago?" If Black Panther is based 2 years ago, wouldn't that make it a period piece? Dating it dates it. Don't you think that was on purpose? |

They will probably think the same thing that I and everyone else who never heard of this meme thought and that is nothing. |

I think it's just a really hacky pander to younger audiences. |

If that were the case they would have used a more recent one, but a hip director used a dead meme from a couple years ago when the meme would have been about current. |

Even without it being a meme, the line was funnier than "laugh it up Fuzzball!".

You know it takes a few years to write the script right? It was used for a cheap laugh, nothing more. And if an internet gif is what passes for a cultural landmark now that's a pretty fucking sad commentary on our society, innit? |
