Weekend Meme Update: Captain America Shield Smash, Dogeday, This Gameplay Fire

The popular memes over the past weekend came from all different sources of media. There were a few memes from the entertainment sector, notably from the recent Disney+ show The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, as well as memes out of the financial and gaming sectors of the internet. The biggest meme by far this past week was Dogecoin, which is enjoying a meteoric rise through the stock charts as of late. Coming in close behind would be the gaming-centric meme Yo, This Gameplay Fire, and lastly comes Captain America Shield Smash.

Captain America Shield Smash

Captain America Shield Smash refers to a moment in the Disney+ series The Falcon and The Winter Soldier where the New Captain America uncharacteristically brutalizes an enemy combatant in front of a crowd of people like something you'd expect from The Boys. The scene occurs in episode four of the show and was a very climactic moment that resonated with fans and content creators.

Dogecoin

Dogecoin is the cryptocurrency made as a total joke based off Doge the "meme dog." For years the Cryptocurrency wasn't worth a fraction of a penny, but that all changed very suddenly as a few big celebrities started to endorse it, like Elon Musk. Doge mania has gotten to the point where April 20th, 2021, is supposed to be the day when Dogecoin will hit $1 in total value per coin, which would make millionaires out of countless early adopters on Dogeday.

Yo, This Gameplay Fire

Yo, This Gameplay Fire is a phrase satirically said when making fun of a video game series by depicting it as boring or too close to something in the real world. An example of this would be to say that Cooking Mama fans find boiling water as "fire gameplay" or that Animal Crossing fans would find raking leaves exhilarating. Because there are so many different game series out there, the potential of this meme is almost limitless, and could even be expanded to include non-gaming things.
