The 'Some of You May Die' meme originates from the 2001 DreamWorks animated film 'Shrek,' featuring the diminutive villain Lord Farquaad addressing a crowd of knights. In the scene, Farquaad announces a perilous quest to rescue Princess Fiona, callously stating, 'Some of you may die, but it's a sacrifice I am willing to make.' This quote perfectly encapsulates the disconnect between detached leadership and the people who actually face the risks. It became a viral sensation as a way to satirize corporate managers, game developers, or anyone in a position of power who makes decisions that negatively impact others while remaining safely removed from the consequences.
