The 'Jem and the Holograms Trailer' meme stems from the intense backlash following the 2015 live-action adaptation of the beloved 1980s animated series. Fans were outraged that the film abandoned the original's sci-fi elements—specifically the holographic computer Synergy—in favor of a grounded, realistic YouTube-stardom plot. The meme typically highlights the massive disconnect between fan expectations and corporate reality, often using the series' iconic catchphrase 'Truly Outrageous' in a sarcastic or ironic context. It has since become a staple template for discussing poor adaptations, lost potential, or general disappointment when modern reboots fail to capture the magic of their source material.
