Remember the Shooting Star memes? You know, where things flip through infinite space and then some in a hilarious fashion? Yeah, I miss that. The popular ones came around 2017 and disappeared not too long after. Sometimes, I wish there were more content.
For all our amusement, here is the original music video.
All the memes aside, it wasn't a bad song. Not my favorite, but not bad either. Then, we move on to the actual memes.
The Lion King Shooting Star meme was the first one I came across. It took a tragic scene and turned it funny in a morbid way. For whatever reason, I giggled the entire way through due to how absurd it is. If you hate me, I understand.
The Star Wars one is a gem. I say that because years after the fact, it turned out to be a stroke of genius. The world was not prepared to realize that the entire video was a spoiler for Episodes 7, 8, and 9. The more you watch it, the funnier it gets, depending on how disappointed you are with the new films.
Moving on to the more obscure anime world, the Shooting Stars meme opened my eyes to a few things. In Part 4 of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, there was a move that resembled the meme.
Meet Yoshikage Kira, the main villain of Diamond is Unbreakable. One of his special move is Bites the Dust. It turns the time back by one hour. The animation itself is him flipping through the space-time continuum. Shooting Star caused me to never see it the same way again.
Since I do not have the video editing skills (or want to spend the time), I cannot make my own. Although it would be hilarious if someone spent time to make one for Craig Wright, CZ, or even Justin Sun.
To those high level meme lords out there, it's time for you to contribute to crypto humor.
