Superman has recently found himself at the center of a viral meme craze involving the Cerveza Cristal Star Wars meme. This phenomenon has taken the online world by storm, overshadowing discussions about the upcoming James Gunn Superman movie. The meme has now made its way into the realm of DC's iconic hero, Superman.
The meme in question involves a humorous beer commercial that has been cleverly inserted into various pop culture scenes, including a classic moment from the Richard Donner movie, 'Superman: The Movie.' In this scene, Superman confronts the villainous Lex Luthor over a mysterious lead-lined box, only to discover the unexpected presence of a Cerveza Cristal beer bottle inside.
For those unfamiliar with the origins of the Cerveza Cristal meme, it all began with a viral clip from a Star Wars rerun in Chile during the early 2000s. To maintain the continuity of the film without cutting to a commercial break, the Cerveza Cristal beer ad was seamlessly integrated into the Star Wars trilogy, resulting in a comical moment where Obi-Wan Kenobi offers Luke Skywalker a Chilean beer from a coolbox.
The absurdity and humor of this crossover quickly captured the attention of the online film and TV community, leading to the meme's widespread popularity. The meme has since expanded to include other film franchises, with Superman being the latest addition to receive the Cerveza Cristal treatment.
Interestingly, the original Star Wars beer ad featuring Cerveza Cristal sparked a legal dispute between George Lucas and the beer company, underscoring the unexpected consequences of internet humor and meme culture. This case serves as a testament to the online community's ability to transform seemingly random content into viral sensations that transcend various entertainment franchises.
