The Struggle of Explaining Deep Fantasy Lore to Casual Fans
This meme captures the relatable frustration of a dedicated fantasy fan trying to explain complex lore to a casual observer. When asked about a specific detail regarding Galadriel and Gimli from The Lord of the Rings, the narrator attempts to provide the necessary historical context by starting with the creation of the world by Eru Ilúvatar and the Valar. The meme uses a classic image of Mr. Incredible from The Incredibles shouting, 'We get there when we GET THERE!' to illustrate the impatience of the listener and the narrator's insistence that the deep backstory is essential to understanding the final answer.
