The Guardians of the Galaxy memes stem from the 2014 Marvel Cinematic Universe film directed by James Gunn, known for its irreverent humor and retro soundtrack. One of the most famous templates features Peter Quill (Star-Lord) introducing himself to Korath the Pursuer, who famously responds with a blank 'Who?' This interaction perfectly captures the theme of self-importance versus obscurity. Other popular variations include Groot's iconic catchphrase and the team's dysfunctional but lovable family dynamic. These memes are widely used to poke fun at obscure niche topics, unearned confidence, or simply to celebrate the charismatic misfits of the galaxy.
