# You Dare Oppose Me Mortal You Dare Oppose Me Mortal is a reaction image macro series built around a distorted, menacing edit of Thomas the Tank Engine. It took off in April 2019 after Reddit and Twitter users slapped it on jokes about insolence and disagreement, turning the cheery children's locomotive into an angry immortal god. ## Origin The image's exact creator is not documented, but it entered meme circulation on April 17, 2019, when Redditor Viq3579 posted a deep fried version to r/dankmemes framing it as a math teacher's reaction to a student using a different method to solve a problem[3]. That same day, Twitter user @Poliskoplin tweeted the picture as Dr. Phil's reaction to being insulted by guests on his show[1]. Hours later, Redditor SalmonHam1 cross posted a version to r/dankmemes under the title "Cash me outside is very epic," which pulled in more than 15,000 upvotes with a 98% upvote rate and around 60 comments[2]. - **Platform:** Reddit / Twitter (viral spread) - **Creator:** Unknown - **Date:** 2019 ## Overview You Dare Oppose Me Mortal is built on a single warped image of Thomas the Tank Engine, pulled in close with contorted features so the normally cheerful train looks like a vengeful deity glaring down from a storm cloud[1]. Posters pair the image with captions where a trivial slight, a student using an alternate math method, a talk show guest talking back, triggers a wildly disproportionate godlike response[2]. The format sits in the same family as other distorted-Thomas edits popular on r/dankmemes in 2018 and 2019, and it often appears in deep fried form with blown out saturation and JPEG artifacts for extra menace[3]. The punchline is always the same jump cut from mundane disagreement to cosmic wrath, which is what gave the macro its name. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is You Dare Oppose Me Mortal?
