Was Mad Max Set in 2021?Ī version of the “ Mad Max was set in 2021″ meme seen above included an image of a young Mel Gibson, and it was featured in the Getty Images archive. We should probably say before we go any further that these were rarely true without at least some creative reinterpretation. In June 2020 a rumor claimed V for Vendetta was set in 2020, another claimed that Jeepers Creepers‘ titular monster was scheduled to rise again in 2020, and the manga series Akira was said to have foretold events in 2020. Instances in which the meme manifested (and occasionally influenced the news cycle) were recurring claims that an asteroid was headed toward Earth, a similarly irrelevant deluge of posts about “ cannibal nuclear ants,” and at least two viral stories about purportedly magical events.Ĭirculating claims about Mad Max being set in 2021 weren’t even the first film-based variants on “2020 bingo” memes. Of “2020 bingo,” KnowYourMeme (which also maintained a “2020 will be better” entry) explained:Ģ020 Bingo refers to metaphorical or literal custom bingo cards relating to major occurrences in 2020 … many Redditors and Twitter users began reacting to new surprising news by referencing their 2020 bingo card or predicting apocalyptic scenarios using a custom bingo card. On December 19 2020, another variation was shared by Twitter user that particular version specified that Mad Max 2 was set in 2021:ĭon't want to be a pessimist but Mad Max 2 was set in 2021.īackground context for the commentary was a social media consensus view that the year 2020 was chaotically unpleasant - which spawned 2020 memes (in general), 2020 complaints, and the concept of “ 2020 bingo.” It wasn’t clear where the combination of image and phrasing above appeared originally, but it was shared to iFunny in October 2020 with the “I don’t want to be pesimist but Mad Max is set in 2021” phrasing and spelling error intact.

In late 2020 a set of memes began spreading, all of which contained wording to the effect of, “I don’t want to be but Mad Max was set in 2021″:
