The 'Peace Was Never An Option' meme features a goose, often the protagonist from Untitled Goose Game, brandishing a knife to signify a shift from playful mischief to outright hostility. While the phrase itself originated as a quote from Magneto in the film X-Men: First Class, it became inextricably linked with the goose in 2019 following the game's massive success. The image perfectly captures the 'chaotic evil' energy of a creature that chooses violence over cooperation. It is widely used across social media to express frustration, a refusal to negotiate, or to humorously signal that a situation has escalated beyond the point of diplomatic resolution.
