The 'What Is Grief, If Not Love Persevering' meme stems from a poignant scene in the 2021 Disney+ series WandaVision, spoken by the character Vision to Wanda Maximoff. The quote quickly went viral on social media, initially praised for its profound emotional depth and later parodied for its dramatic intensity. Internet users began applying the quote to everything from lost sports teams and discontinued snack foods to existential dread, often juxtaposing the high-brow philosophy of the line with low-brow or absurd situations. It serves as the ultimate template for expressing a mix of profound sadness and ironic devotion.
