** Y'know what was going on at the same time as this event? ''ComicBook/{{Annihilation}}'', aka the event where Annihilus killed Quasar and the entire Nova Corps (except Nova himself), stole the Quantum Bands thus making himself invincible, and then led a Negative Zone army on a warpath, trying to slaughter all life in the ''universe''. This was a threat so big that almost every space superhero, villain, and alien race up to and including ''Galactus'' teamed up to stop it. Compared to that, the events here seem incredibly pointless. Not to mention the Hulk was on his way back to rain holy hell on the superheroes. Lampshaded by a ''What If?'' Issue where Nova calls out Iron Man and Cap on wasting everyone's time like this when a ''galaxy destroying army of bugs'' is on the way. Of course this is then followed by Mr. Fantastic pointing out that the heroes on Earth ''don't know'' what's going on. Hell, it's lampshaded in ''Annihilation'' itself by Star-Lord and Nova, who argue whether the heroes would even be able to stop fighting one another long enough to not die if the Wave reaches their back door. Side note, Annhilus was waging this intergalactic war which killed trillions, out of rage that the universe was encroaching on his territory, the Negative Zone. Guess where Iron Man built his concentration camp without any permission from Annihilus.
** The event also went on during the same time as ''X-Men: Decimation,'' in which most of the world's mutants have been depowered and they're being hunted to extinction. ''[[ComicBook/NewXMenAcademyX New X-Men]]'' even has Emma give a five-page TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to Ms. Marvel, telling her about all the students she lost while the Avengers were busy doing their own thing instead of helping them.

Added DiffLines:

*** Another element that most reviewers don't factor in is that up until that point, Sally had been caught in several hostile situations regarding the anti-Registration side and was even arrested on suspicion of withholding Cap's location. Which then followed into her seeing firsthand both sides of the Registration issue battling each other like maniacs in public and almost getting killed in the crossfire. Was she legitimately asking Cap the above questions about [=MySpace=] and NASCAR or was she just angry at his recklessness and lashing out by saying he doesn't understand what the lives or normal people are like now?

Misuse. One of the work's most famous Moment Of Awesome, but not a meme.


* MemeticMutation:
** During the initial promotion for the crossover, Marvel released a pair of message board signature images reading either "I'm with Captain America" or "I'm with Iron Man". Within days, fans were creating their own versions by the dozens, and similar images are still being created for both Marvel and DC's {{Crisis Crossover}}s as well as things that have nothing to do with comics. There was also the [[TakeAThirdOption Third Option]]: "[[ComicBook/WorldWarHulk You're all fucked when]] [[ComicBook/PlanetHulk the Hulk gets back]]."
** "'''''THOU ART NO THOR!'''''" said by Hercules while he was fighting an evil Thor clone that Reed and Tony cooked up and turned loose.

Misuse (for later events that change the way how fans react to this work, not for amusing stuff that preceded it).


** In ''Marvel Knights: Spider-Man #2'', Spider-Man is told by Tony Stark the benefits of unmasking. When Spidey tries to refute, ''Cap backs up Tony's assertions.'' What makes this even funnier is that the issue is written by Mark Millar!
** On the flip side of that is ''[[BatFamilyCrossover The Other]]'' storyline, which ran across all of the Spider-Man titles the previous year – After Spider-Man's supposed death, the New Avengers (led by Captain American & Iron Man, no less) decide that they can't reveal Peter Parker is Spider-Man and have to create a cover-up for his death, because revealing his identity would result in Aunt May & Mary Jane being targeted by every lowlife with a grudge against Spider-Man. ''And that's exactly what happens after Spider-Man unmasks.''
** At some point Peter was involved in some event or other where ComicBook/{{Daredevil}} got unmasked and stated that [[http://mightygodking.com/index.php/2007/08/08/things-you-always-wondered-about-comics-revealed/ the whole thing had convinced him to never unmask]]...
