# *There Is A Threat On Earth* Steven Universe: "There Is A Threat On Earth" Steven Universe is an exploitable image macro that puts a crying, text-spouting Steven Universe next to a stoic character answering an apocalyptic threat with a single word or gesture. iFunny user @Ayoz posted the first version on July 15, 2021, matching Steven against Kratos from God of War. By spring 2022, Instagram remixers were plugging in Luffy from One Piece and Mereana Mordegard Glesgorv in the second slot. ## Origin On July 15, 2021, iFunny user @Ayoz posted the first known meme to use the setup, matching Steven Universe with Kratos from God of War under the top text "there is a threat on earth"[1]. Steven's reaction was an emotional rant, while Kratos' answer was the PlayStation circle button (O)[3]. The post collected roughly 12,600 smiles over the next two years[1]. - **Platform:** iFunny (origin) / Instagram (viral spread) - **Creator:** iFunny user @Ayoz - **Date:** 2021 ## Overview Posters set up the template around a strong tonal mismatch. On the left side, a frazzled Steven rambles through a lengthy block of panicked dialogue, often listing fears or begging for safety. On the right side, the opposing character answers with a terse response like Kratos pressing the PlayStation circle button, a short line of dialogue, or an unreadable facial expression[3]. Humor comes from the gap between Steven's emotional spiral and the second character's unbothered reply, which handles a world-ending threat as routine. Variations lean on characters associated with violence or stoicism, like Kratos or Muscle Man from Regular Show, but also use absurd stand-ins such as creepypasta figures or Angry Birds characters[4]. The caption "there is a threat on earth" sits at the top of most posts, cueing the setup. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is *There Is A Threat On Earth* Steven Universe:?
