It’s credited fairly well, actually: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/im-here-to-kick-ass-and-chew-bubblegum
This image macro compresses text superimposed over imagery from Duke Nukem 3D, not They Live.
Yep, that is the history of the meme. It sorta says all that on the page I linked to in the response above ☝️
I wasn't asking about the history of the quote. I know the history of the quote. I was commenting on the use of a reference to a reference.
Was it a rip-off, or was it homage?
Tomayto Tomahto
Reads like a game developer or a new anime.
I'd play that game.
Why would they need to credit a near 40 year old reference?
Why credit a near 30-year-old homage instead?
...
Do..
Do I need to post even more?
Is never enough
WE'LL YOU'VE CERTAINLY COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE
Are you not also here for cat pics?
There arent nearly enough cat pictures and cat communities on lemmy
Cats are overrated. I like dogs more.
