Forspoken’s latest trailer is out, and Twitter is dunking on it hard

Some cliché Marvel-like dialogue in Forspoken’s new teaser is sending people into a meme-fueled frenzy.

So Forspoken‘s new trailer is out, and it’s going over freaking terribly on social media. Memes are just something we do now, it seems.

On Tuesday, Square Enix released a short teaser for Forspoken. Protagonist Frey Holland narrates it, quickly recounting her exploits in some far-off mythical land — and everyone is clowning the dialogue. The delivery is akin to that Joss Wheadon-like dialogue that is in virtually every Marvel Cinematic Universe film these days, where most lines are teeming with jokey lines that become rather grating after a while.

Before we go any further, please watch the video for yourself below. Context is key and all that.

Of course, these sorts of quips don’t bother everyone. Let’s face it: an overwhelming majority of blockbuster movies over the past decade were marketed like this, so it’s not unprecedented. The game itself might be utterly devoid of this sort of Avengers-like speak, too; we won’t know until Forspoken comes out next year. But careful examination rarely stops the meme train from pulling up to the station.

As you might expect, Twitter is currently awash in parodies for this trailer. There are Doom, Yakuza, God of War, and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater variants, among many others. We’ve gathered some of the funniest reactions, remixes, and cheeky edits below.
