The 'I'm Going To Die' meme originates from the 2007 Spider-Man 3 video game during a Quick Time Event (QTE) sequence where Peter Parker attempts to rescue a woman from a burning building. If the player fails the specific button prompt, a cutscene plays where Peter realizes his mistake, utters the line 'I'm going to die' with a look of pure dread, and is promptly blown up. The meme gained massive traction on YouTube and social media for its hilariously dark and sudden shift in tone, eventually becoming a go-to template for representing extreme overreactions to everyday failures or inevitable doom in gaming.
