We're still reeling after the drama and heartbreak of April's Infinity War, but Reddit insists on keeping the memories alive. We've seen countless Thanos memes over the past few months, so it's no surprise that the website's new favorite dank meme involves the powerful purple villain. This meme also features Benedict Cumberbatch's Doctor Strange - a delight for anyone who loves the tongue twister-named Brit. If you've seen Infinity War, you probably recall an exchange between the two characters, during which Thanos shows Strange the former glory of his home planet, Titan. Memers have taken this dramatic reveal and molded it into sh*tpost gold, riffing on everything from anime to thanking the bus driver. Here are some of our favorites.

While we know there's an entire Thanos Did Nothing Wrong movement, we can't help but feel that the big purple villain deserves very little sympathy. This meme works with this theme. After Thanos is overpowered (briefly) by the Guardians of the Galaxy, Mantis cries out that he is in anguish, and that he mourns. Drax asks her what such a monster could mourn, and memers are now filling in the blanks. You can expect a lot of very specific anime and gaming memes to come out of this one, but we're hoping for some more seriously righteous shitposts.
Marvel-themed subreddit r/thanosdidnothingwrongmade headlines this week after announcing it will ban half its members as a tribute to the villain from Titan. The group, which takes its name from the saying "Hitler did nothing wrong" shares the belief that killing half of the universe is actually a great idea. While the subreddit should theoretically deal in philosophy, its members spend most of their time dealing in Thanos memes. Here are some of our favorites.
