avengers: endgame

We've always loved the hilarity (and sheer volume) of Marvel memes. But if we have to single out a heavy player in the MCU's meme history, it's gotta be Thanos. And the big purple ballsack of a villain is back in a relatively new and very versatile format. The memes feature a quote from Avengers: Endgame, in which Thanos (Josh Brolin) admits to his daughter Nebula that he may have treated her too harshly. Memers are using the still to address errors in judgment regarding everything from Boomers to situations in Minecraft. We've included our favorites in this gallery, but you can read more about the format (and take in more meme goodness) over at Know Your Meme.

Remember those Walking Dead dad joke memes that were popular what seems like forever ago? Well Rick Grimes has officially handed his corny ass crown over to Chris Evans' Captain America. These dad joke memes have been popping up all over Reddit and Instagram, and while they're definitely groan-worthy it's a take on Marvel memes that we're not upset about. The format is a mashup of scenes from 2014's Captain America: The Winter Soldier and last year's Avengers: Endgame, and it works really well as a template for punishing dad jokes. We've put together the latest and greatest in this gallery, but you can read more about the format and grab the versatile template over at Know Your Meme.

It feels like ages since Avengers: Endgame was released in theaters, but the memes have shown absolutely no sign of slowing down.  Nebula, Guardians of the Galaxy villain-turned-hero, is the star of this rising meme. In Endgame, she is forced to duel her past self after Thanos & Co. realize there's some weird AF time travel sh*t going down. Her past self accuses her of being weak, to which "future Nebula" responds "I'm you." The format is used in similar manner as Spider-Man Pointing At Spider-Man, but we think these might be delightfully dumber.

Marvel Studios recently announced plans to re-release Avengers: Endgame with new footage, as soon as next weekend. While none of the new footage seems to be dramatic (it's all after the credits) fans are still getting psyched - as is pretty clear from the continued influx of Avengers memes. Here are some of the fresher one's we've found this week!

The Russo Brothers have officially lifted the Avengers: Endgame spoiler ban, so we feel like we can have a little bit more fun with the memes we're posting. Many fans have expressed feelings of sadness, confusion regarding much of the film's dramatic plot. These memes, which are FILLED WITH SPOILERS, reflect our depression and all the questions we have. If only we could turn back time and pick different directors...

If you've been on the internet at all in the last month, you've definitely seen the insane output of Marvel memes. If we had to guess, we'd say that people are funneling all thoseAvengers: Endgame feels into meme-making and meme-scrolling. The prevalence may be annoying, but we'd rather scroll past the content than be subjected to endless rants about what could have been done differently. 

We've been inundated with Avengers: Endgame memes for over a month, and we're happy to report that there's finally one making the rounds that doesn't involve Josh Brolin's Thanos. These memes focus instead on the Hulk and Thor, played by Mark Ruffalo and Chris Hemsworth. The photos used are of Hulk trying out the Infinity gauntlet and Thor giving him two thumbs up when it actually works. It's mostly  being used to illustrate situations in which people are impressed by feats that are decidedly unimpressive. Here are our favorites.

The trend of using dramatic stills from Avengers: Endgame  to make memes that describe mundane, everyday situations is far from dead. The latest format to be exploited features Thanos telling the Avengers that the infinity stones are "Gone. Reduced to ashes." The words are pretty melodramatic, so they're lending themselves to situations that are anything but: think, eating the last of the shredded cheese while drunk, or stealing someone's leftovers. Despite their banality, the memes are super relatable, so the format is continuing to pop up all over Instagram and Reddit.

Late last week we were hit with a barrage of memes about Avengers character Captain America (Chris Evans) flexing his time-travelling knowledge on his boo, Peggy Carter. Steve Rogers never looked so smart. We put together a healthy selection of the memes, but they just keep. On. Coming. And they appear to be getting spicier. 

Another day, another dank Avengers: Endgame meme! The r/dankmemes subreddit has been flooded with Captain America (Chris Evans) memes for the past two days, and these particular formats deal heavily with history. In Endgame, chooses to travel through time permanently to spend the rest of his days with Peggy Carter, the love of his life. These memes address the fact that the former Captain America would have a wealth of historical knowledge that Peggy lacks - and can even use it to his advantage. The result is a versatile dank meme that's endlessly entertaining.

And you know what else is endless? The amount of memes we're getting out of Endgame even way after the movie's initial release. An absolute win, some might say.

If you're tired of Avengers: Endgame memes, please remove yourself from this meme dump. The film may have been released nearly a month ago, but the memes are apparently going strong. This latest format features our favorite Asgardian God, Thor. In Endgame, Thor has let himself go and fallen into a depression. His mom (portrayed by Rene Russo) gives him a talking to, resulting in the golden boy's exclamation "I'm still worthy!" The mama's boy moment is getting meme'd to oblivion, and here are some of the most primo examples. 

If these memes leave you wanting more, check out these dank memes from his very own movie, Thor: Ragnarok.

SPOILERS AHEAD! 

The long-awaited and long-hyped Avengers: Endgame has been out for two weeks but fans are still feeling waves of emotion regarding the phrase "I love you 3,000." The tear-inspiring quote is the way Tony Stark (Iron Man) and his daughter, Morgan, express their love for one another. People really started to freak out over the phrase when it was realized that when Tony says "I love you tons" her response (3000) implies that she loves him more, as a ton is equal to 2,000 pound. If the feels are coursing through your body, you're definitely not alone. Twitter has been abuzz with sad and sad-happy tweets about the emotional words and the film's ending. 

This dank meme may have its origins in Avengers: Infinity War, but it is extremely relevant to Endgame. The format uses a quote from Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange. The moment comes after Strange and Tony Stark lose an infinity stone to the villainous Thanos. While the two fan-favorites were in deep sh*t, the moment has proved to be absolutely primo for meme makers. Here are some of our favorites.
