The 'Now This is An Avengers Level Threat' meme originates from the 2019 Marvel Cinematic Universe film Spider-Man: Far From Home, featuring the character Mysterio played by Jake Gyllenhaal. In the context of the movie, the line is spoken to manufacture a sense of extreme danger during a staged elemental attack. Online, however, the template is used with heavy irony to describe minor, everyday inconveniences as if they were world-ending catastrophes. It first gained massive traction on Reddit and Twitter shortly after the movie's marketing campaign began, becoming the go-to reaction for highlighting hyperbolic reactions to trivial problems, from tech glitches to social awkwardness.
