Like a refreshing sip of ice-cold soda on a hot day, nothing hits a netizens soul quite like a nice meme. As any regular internet user knows, in this day and age, one can find a meme about basically everything, from the legal profession and cats, to cars and cinema.
The “Marvel Memes” online community is dedicated to exactly that, funny and relatable posts featuring the larger-than-life heroes from comics and cinema. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites and be sure to share your thoughts and ideas in the comments section below.

Comic books, the medium that originally made Marvel famous, has been around longer than many people might expect. The Swiss cartoon Histoire de Mr. Vieux Bois (also known as Les amours de Mr. Vieux Bois, or, in English "The Adventures of Mr. Obadiah Oldbuck") was first published in 1827.

Interestingly, many of the elements in this comic were derived from political cartoons of the 17th and 18th century, including exaggerated images and speech bubbles. While the subject matter is at this point hardly comprehensible, the format and look of these two centuries old comics would still be familiar to a modern audience.

While we tend to associate comic books with superheroes, at the time, it was a very common format for all sorts of content. Detective stories, science fiction and adventure comics were all quite popular. It was Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster's Superman, published in 1938, that really started the “Golden Age” of comic book heroes.

Honestly if I was Rogue I would just become a serial killer. I don't think there is any job better suited for a power like that.

This “Golden Age” of American comics lasted about two decades and saw the creation of many of the heroes we still think about today, from the aforementioned Superman, to Captain America, Wonder Woman and Batman. Marvel was one of the more successful publishing houses, but it wasn’t the only player.

For example, many of the most famous superheroes, Batman and Robin, Superman and Wonder Woman, were all created by Detective Comics in the 1940s. Yes, DC stands for “Detective Comics,” another bit of evidence that superheroes were just one common genre at the time.

Marvel saw its own heyday (if we discount the present) in the 60s and 70s, with Stan Lee’s Fantastic Four and the iconic Spiderman. Marvel itself, unlike its biggest rival, DC, did start with comic books, although its creator, Martin Goodman, made his fortune in pulp westerns.

Marvel actually switched to horror, Westerns, humor, crime and even Bible stories in the 50s, as superheros seemingly fell out of fashion. Much of the company's later success has to be attributed to Stan Lee who focused on creating heroes and stories that were more appealing to older audiences.

Captain Marvel saying "there are a lot of other planets in the universe" is such a s**t excuse lmao. Wouldn't you wanna prioritise stopping the gigantic purple genocidal potato?

However, many modern people recognize the iconic red logo not from a comic book, but from the intro to the many blockbusters, produced by the Walt Disney Company. Disney acquired Marvel in 2009, including its filmmaking branch, Marvel studios, hot off of the success of 2008s Iron Man.

Because it makes sense to put the organic web shooters, aka. spinnerets, at the ends of the extremities with the fluid reservoir deep inside the body instead of placing the spinnerets where spiders have them.

Time is exactly what money buys you! Don’t have time to mow the lawn, get a gardener! Fed up of housework? Hire a cleaner, or even better, I’d love a housekeeper/cook/PA. Money would solve nearly every single one of my problems. Rant over.

Since then, with some misses, the world of superheroes has been dominated by cinema. Indeed, a fifth of Marvel Studios' films are among the fifty highest-grossing films of all time, easily surpassing the comic books in terms of readership. Like with anything that has mass appeal, it didn’t take long for netizens to turn their favorite heroes and moments into memes.

This is an established trope from the comics. The main reason Jameson keeps paying Peter is that Peter brings him photos of Spider-Man when no one else can. Peter’s been shown in the comics setting up his camera with a remote or timed shutter to get shots.

Why are people allowed to say they think a certain actress is cute, but not allowed to say they think a certain actress is not cute? Sure, randomly insulting people for their looks isn't nice, but in this case it's actually relevant because the post was about her being cute, surely people are allowed to say they disagree?
