A piece of fan material so popular people think it's from the original source material
DMC V: Vergils Chair Edition - An edit of a DMC V cutscene replaced the main antagonist fucked up evil tentacle chair with a regular cheap lawn chair. Many people thought this was just what the actual cutscene was (and still do)
Dragonball: Trunks is a fucking dumbass - An edit of a dragon ball scene where the character Trunks tries to throw his sword in the air and have it land in his scabbard. In the original show, this succeeds. The more widely known edit makes him completely fuck it up (like a dumbass)
Fake Portal 2 Endings - Ok I don't know if anyone else experienced this but it was a really popular thing when the game first came out to make fake versions of it's ending or alternate endings to it that I saw as a kid and thought were totally real, having only seen it on YouTube. Like I thought that there actually was an alternate ending where the view of the wheat field was revealed to just be a painted wall and it falls away to reveal you're still in the lab
MICHAEL DON'T LEAVE ME HERE MICHAEL MICHAAAAAAEL MICHAEL - A sound bite from a FNAF fan analog horror series on YouTube, where the main antagonist screams for help as he's burning to death. Many people believed this to be a sound bite from the games themselves.
the best way to tell if its real or not is if you actually see a swear. a lot of marvel and dc comics dont actually say the swear but make their own censors by replacing them with symbols. i.e. something like fuck would be @$$% or smth along those lines
For me personally, I was expecting Moon Knight but got a fantasy story with magic abilities and a kaiju fight, it really wasn't that accurate to the actual source material
Obviously losing a limb is traumatic and serious but other than that he surprisingly doesn't look too roughed up. His other three limbs are fine and the shoulder bandaging is kinda light by comparison.
That is actually just what happens, pickles usual diet consisted of trex before he is then preserved (pickled) in a bunch of salt mid trex fight. He is then woken up when a scientist that found him decided to cook the trex meet. Later the us military straight up goes, “what the fuck do we do with him” then the main group of characters (including yujiro) break into said military base to fight pickle. After that event they send pickle off to Japan where the aforementioned event happened of retsu (the guy without the leg) then fights pickle and loses. Where his leg is then eaten out of respect (pickle ate the trex out of respect too for it being an honorable fight or some shit) then people intervene before pickle eats all of retsu (genuinely I am not fucking with you this all happens)
Pickle, a caveman who was found frozen and revived, one that even scientists in-universe state that logically he shouldn't exist because it goes against human evolution (he lived at the same time as dinosaurs, long before the Homo Sapiens came to be). Since he comes from a dog eats dog world, he fights to the death and to eat his enemy, which is why he ate the guy's leg after defeating him.
Also, he doesn't know consent, so he raped a female journalist on live TV when she tried to interview him-
Public displays are a no-no to Vegeta, but, given his reaction when Bulma talks about their actual relationship, makes me think he's a major cuddlebug in private.
Luckily, I first saw this in the image in context of a post like "I want Galactus to be portrayed as a proper cosmic horror, like in this image" or similar.
This is a fake version of the wedding page from the book Shrek was based on, but no one actually read this book so a lot of Shrek fans thought it was real.
i have the oposite case here, a piece of official material many would belive its not real due to its absurdity, this is an official xmen comic cover, no edits, no nothing, this is the cover, published by marvel, X-Tremists: Semper Vigilo #3
Bruh, the line "Like the good ol' days after 9/11!" is such an insane line that you would normally find in max0r's videos.
It isn't until you play the actual game that this line is geniunely said. Someone in the studio thought and put this line for the rest of humanity to witness.
It's because Monsoon was referring to the original definition of the word meme that was coined by Richard Dawkins in his 1976 book "The Selfish Gene." Here's Britannica's definition.
A lot of what people think is Biblical canon concerning hell came from Dante's Inferno. Its sequels also inspired common ideas on Biblical canon, but most ideas of hell come from that book that really isn't canon to the source material.
TBF supposedly in Dante's Inferno canon, Jesus spent the three days between his death and resurrection conducting an armed raid of Hell where he grabbed all the morally decent people who died too early to believe in Him and brought them to Heaven.
Like Paradise Lost solidifying speculations about Satan, Lucifer, and the Devil being the same being that’s opposed to God and was the serpent in the Garden of Eden.
None of that is in the Bible, and what’s in there mostly refutes those ideas more than supporting them.
If you go strictly by Biblical sources, it's not even clear that Lucifer and Satan are the same entity. They're used in wildly different contexts, and some of the Old Testament mentions are clearly criticizing political figures of the time.
if you go strictly by Biblical sources, Lucifer is mentioned once and isn't even a name, it literally just means "shining one" and was used in reference to some completely separate tosser in a poetic sense and nothing to do with Satan
Satan is also not explicitly the name of a single entity, it's more of a title or descriptor and arguably it isn't always referring to an angelic entity.
Honestly, so, so much of what people think is Biblical never appears in the Bible. The Catholics wrote centuries of stuff that they follow that has nothing to do with the Bible.
Adding onto this, I was gonna say that this painting was still commissioned by Cormac McCarthy himself- until I researched it before commenting and learned that was a total lie- it was painted by John D. Salvatore on deviantart
True! When doing the research I found out a lot of blood meridian readers hate the image, I guess cause they considered it too exaggerated, but I think it perfectly fits the Judges vibes in the book and the way he's physically described.
"you are not the clown ; you are the entire circus !"
Miles Edgeworth, in no Ace Attorney game ever, yet I'm sure a lot of people, whether they've played the games or not, are convinced it's an actual quote/screenshot
Yeah, the easiest way to tell is by looking at Slaanesh. Despite most fans thinking if them as female, in-universe I'm pretty sure the eldar are the only ones who do that. Pretty much everybody else views them as either male or adrogynous, including GW.
Dragon Ball also has the inverse of this sort of thing! You know the $30 Haircut line? It may sound like a TFS-ism, but you may be shocked to learn that the line is from an official dub. A shame the people at TeamFourStar wasn’t able to put their own spin on the line…
What you gotta understand is this mod came out So Early in minecrafts history and wasnt spread around as being a mod that people just believed it was a new hidden part of the game
Like when the yogscast did their series and introduced the israphel storyline and terrorvale etc there were people asking how to find it in game to start the story- because everything in minecraft was such an unknown quantity in those days, to people it just made more sense for it to be the games story finally being discovered instead of just youtubers doing their own thing
Same goes for the aether- the nether was added so why not some other dimension? Skys the limit it seemed. Modding was a concept most gamers playing minecraft didnt wrap their heads around yet, Especially since minecraft trended with very young audiences
well its fan material that a lot of people tried recreating in their own game without even knowing what a mod was because they thought it was part of the game.
A lot of people didn’t understand the joke and kept saying “It’s [name of the movie]in time“ in relation to other movies. It’s funny because it sounds like “It’s morphin’ time!” from Power Rangers, dammit!
I swear ill watch it in theaters this time sony the last two time I was just really busy, I swear ill bring my whole squad too. Yes they too were just really busy last times.
Basically all of the anime and manga series Hellsing and its reputation in the West being overwritten by the TeamFourStar Abridged version of the anime.
The actual show basically doesn't even exist as a fan community separate from the Youtube parody series. At this point having discussions about the source material is often challenging because so many people are influenced by the parodies.
I will say i'm still an avid fan of both original anime (Hellsing and Hellsing Ultimate, with a special love of the former with how it focused a little more on "Police Girl" Seras' story and her coming to terms with the loss of her humanity), but after discovering the abridged series, it got bumped to one of my favorite series of all time. Kind of hard to knock it off that pedestal since it was just done so well by TeamFourStar.
"My source is that I made it the fuck up" is from a meme. The Mandela-ish effect comes from the fact that the VA of the Senator actually dubed it for fun.
I thought the dmc lawn chair was real until I played and thought the memes speech in mgrr was a mod until I played that. I don't have a very good track record for these.
Don’t know if this was already posted but the Bad Apple! remix that I’m sure many of you know is actually a fan remix of the chiptune song from Touhou 4: Lotus Land Story IIRC. Hell, I don’t think it even had lyrics at first!
Basically all Fatalis lore is fanon - Monster Hunter
We only know that he destroyed Shrade(a single castle), has an aura of fear that causes all life to run away, and melts hunters in a pin attack.
According to fans, he's as intellient as humans, can control the moon, is the most powerful monster ever, is an actual god, can destroy the world, destroyed the entire ancient kingdom, takes over anyone who wears his armour(which eventually grows into a new Fatalis) and several other stupid ass things
He "destroyed" the kingdom of Schrade, its unclear if he actually destroyed it or just destabilized it by destroying yhe main castle. The rest of that is pretty much spot on though.
"For those we cherish, we die in glory." is a popular war cry attributed to The Lamenters, one of the unluckiest/cursed Space Marine chapters in the Imperium. It is also completely fan-made, as no official material has ever given them a war cry.
This is arguably one of the most popular and “accepted” depictions of Warhammer’s Chaos Gods. They’ve been adapted on by fans and used all over the place, and is shared so much many assume they’re canon.
It’s fan art from a person on Deviantart named baklaher.
Tamriel Rebuilt. A fan mod for Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind that seeks to flesh out all of Morrowind rather than just Vvardenfell in the main game. While it uses in game sources for things like place names and layouts and stuff, nothing in it is canon since Bethesda could rewrite it or have a different vision. Yet when people think of Morrowind, they think of TRs version.
The lawn chair mod reached a level of infamy that people reference as easter eggs in their own games.
Like wuthering wave put the chair in the game. I believe Honkai Starrail recreated the cutscene with that chair in their own game. Also other sword fighters are using their own lawn chair.
Kinda a big deal in those gacha games it seems.
Also the Netflix anime put that chair in the show at some point during season 2.
If we ever get a DMC6, you can expect to see that chair become canon.
The fanart (top) of Reze's eye-twitching stare is shared/commented more than the actual still from the movie (bottom) that people mistake the fanart for the real deal.
In Avatar the Last Air Bender they never actually say ‘there’s no war in ba sing se’. The meme was so popular that the live action version thought it was a real quote and used it, ruining the whole plot point

A lot of Moon Knight panels fit this trope, but this is by far the most popular. Though it was referenced in Marvel Rivals, so now it’s kinda canon?
