This legendary meme originates from the comic book Spider-Man and the X-Men #2, published in 2014. In the scene, Spider-Man confronts the villain Sauron, a pterodactyl-man, pointing out that his genetic rewriting technology could be used to cure cancer. Sauron's blunt, unrepentant response—that he simply prefers turning people into dinosaurs—became an instant internet sensation. It perfectly encapsulates the 'chaotic evil' or 'questionable priorities' trope, where a character possesses immense power but chooses to use it for absurdly specific personal interests rather than the greater good. It is widely used online to mock people who focus on niche, weird, or fun projects instead of solving major world problems.
