The Ready Player One Poster Parodies first gained viral traction when the film's promotional poster featured a protagonist with an anatomically impossible long leg, sparking a wave of Photoshop edits and mockery. The trend evolved further when the film's official marketing campaign released a series of posters parodying 80s classics like The Breakfast Club and Blade Runner. This prompted the internet to create its own 'unofficial' versions, inserting characters from unrelated franchises or making fun of the film's heavy reliance on nostalgia. Today, these templates are used to highlight corporate pandering or to create absurd cinematic mashups that fit the chaotic aesthetic of the OASIS.
