# Avenge the Fallen Poster Parodies Avenge the Fallen Poster Parodies began on March 26, 2019, when Marvel released 32 Avengers: Endgame character posters splitting heroes into full-color survivors and black-and-white casualties of Thanos's snap. Within hours, Twitter users photoshopped the template with Luigi, Ned Stark, Pixar tearjerkers, and Goose the Cat. By that evening, Polygon and Newsweek had rounded up the best edits as a viral 'in memoriam' for non-Marvel fictional dead[1]. ## Origin Marvel Entertainment released 32 Avengers: Endgame character posters on March 26, 2019, each showing one Avenger overlaid with the tagline 'Avenge the Fallen'[3]. Characters who survived Thanos's snap at the end of Infinity War appeared in full color; characters who disintegrated appeared desaturated to black and white[1]. Marvel announced the set on Twitter the same afternoon with the caption '1 Month. #AvengersEndgame,' and the thread picked up more than 15,000 retweets and 42,000 likes inside 24 hours[2]. Within hours, fans began photoshopping the template with other fictional dead. Video games writer @Nibellion published an Endgame-style Luigi poster, nodding to Luigi's cameo death in a 2018 Super Smash Bros. Ultimate trailer[5]. That post gathered over 280 retweets and 1,800 likes in its first day[4]. - **Platform:** Twitter - **Creator:** Unknown (Marvel Entertainment created the source posters; fans produced the earliest parodies) - **Date:** 2019 ## Overview Each parody keeps Marvel's official layout: a single character's head, a desaturated or full-color treatment, and the words 'Avenge the Fallen' stamped underneath[1]. Color stays reserved for surviving characters, while black-and-white marks the dead or forgotten, letting creators sort any fictional cast into the binary Marvel used to tease Endgame[3]. Threads worked especially well because the original rollout was itself a 32-poster thread, so fans could match the format at scale[1]. Pixar-themed sets focused on childhood tearjerkers from Up, Finding Nemo, and Toy Story 3[7]. Other variants pointed inward at Marvel itself: edits featuring Edward Norton and Terrence Howard, the recast Bruce Banner and Rhodey, framed the franchise's own casting changes as a quiet death toll[1]. A separate thread memorialized overlooked MCU women including Darcy Lewis, Jane Foster, and Sharon Carter[1]. Media writeups covered edits spanning Ned Stark, Bambi's mother, the Jurassic Park 3 T-rex, Vine, and South Park's Kenny[1][3]. ## How to Use The common convention is to pick a dead or vanished fictional character, isolate a headshot, and place it under the 'Avenge the Fallen' tagline in Marvel's exact typeface and layout. Survivors typically stay in full color while the fallen appear in black and white, mirroring Marvel's survivor/casualty split[1]. Newsweek pointed readers to a free Photoshop template built from the originals so anyone could add their own character[3]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Avenge the Fallen Poster Parodies?

The format peaked around March 26, 2019 during Marvel's one-month Endgame promotional push and faded after the film's April 26, 2019 release, so it reads today as a 2019 artifact rather than an active meme[1][3]. ## References 1.
