The 'Why Is Gamora?' meme originates from a standout comedic moment in the 2018 film Avengers: Infinity War. During a tense confrontation between the Guardians of the Galaxy and the Avengers on the planet Titan, Star-Lord demands to know Gamora's location, and Tony Stark counters by asking who she is. Drax, played by Dave Bautista, interjects with the absurdly existential 'I'll do you one better: Why is Gamora?' The line quickly became a fan favorite for its perfect subversion of dramatic tension and Drax's literal-minded personality. In meme culture, it is used to highlight confusing situations, existential crises, or to parody scenes where characters ask increasingly redundant or philosophical questions.
