Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

MODERATORS
Street Fighter wasn't just a generic script, it was a GI Joe script for a live action adaptation that hadn't gone through. I wanna say they only got the Street Fighter license in order to salvage the project.
Apparently the Mario Bros Movie actually had a good script that was much closer to source material, only for the directors to throw it out because they don't do fantasy, only cyberpunk.
Prince of Persia was at least partially written by Jordan Mechner, the creator of the series. Three other writers also got writing credits as well, but my understanding is that Mechner was involved throughout the process. Which is crazy because of just how bad it is compared to the Sands of Time.
Similarly, Wing Commander was written and directed by Chris Roberts, which makes me wonder how he could get so much wrong. Though in retrospect, I'm kind of surprised it came out at all.
