Released in 2013, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance became a massive meme phenomenon years after its launch thanks to its over-the-top dialogue and absurd boss fights. The most famous template, 'Standing Here I Realize,' features Raiden rapidly punching Senator Armstrong to the beat of 'It Has To Be This Way,' illustrating a futile struggle against an unstoppable force. Other iconic moments like 'Nanomachines, son' and Jetstream Sam’s smirk have cemented the game's legacy in internet culture. These memes are widely used to parody political debates, intense yet harmless confrontations, or situations where logic is thrown out the window for sheer cinematic hype.
