The 'Galactic Nova Gets Destroyed' meme originates from the climax of the 'Milky Way Wishes' sub-game in Kirby Super Star and its remake, Kirby Super Star Ultra. Galactic Nova is a massive, sentient clock-work comet that grants wishes but is eventually destroyed by Kirby after it attempts to collide with Popstar. In the meme world, this dramatic explosion is used to represent the total collapse of something massive, complex, or seemingly unstoppable. From failed software updates to crumbling life plans, the visual of a clockwork god blowing up in space perfectly encapsulates the chaotic energy of a monumental disaster.
