A beautiful and cruel new land? Twisted monsters? An array of magical abilities? Sentient jewellery!? Welcome to the world of #Forspoken. pic.twitter.com/46diiLnQ7MAugust 8, 2022
The trailer, which dropped on Twitter midday on August 8, features the protagonist Frey describing her rather unique situation in which she's been inexplicably transported to another world. We see her fighting bizarre fantasy creatures aided by a magical cuff that she talks to, and it all looks pretty cool - it's the voiceover that the internet is fixating on.
Frey has a very Whedonesque way of speaking, providing commentary that feels like it was ripped from an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer or a scene from 2012's Marvel's Avengers. "I'm somewhere that's not what I would call Earth, I'm seeing freakin' dragons, and oh yeah I'm talking to a cuff!" she says in the trailer, and, naturally, the meme train has pulled out of the station and is showing no signs of stopping.
Twitter user bobvids (opens in new tab) took the iconic Tony Hawk Pro Skater song 'Superman' by Goldfinger and gave it the Forspoken treatment. "So okay, here I am, doin' everything I can. Holdin' on to what I freakin' am. Pretendin' I'm like, some Superman" the video says to scenes from Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 + 2.
