What does Because That’s What Heroes Do mean?

Also called Thor Heroes Do · Thor Small Good Deeds

Thor delivers a grand explanation for doing the right thing. Add a small good deed above him and let the superhero line give it more credit than it needs.

An everyday favour is treated as a heroic achievement. The tone can be affectionate, self-congratulatory, or gently sarcastic.

The useful action should be specific: replacing something empty, sharing a spare item, or doing a small task that saves someone else trouble.

Origin

Thor’s heroic justification moves into everyday life.

The image shows Chris Hemsworth as Thor in Thor: Ragnarok. Marvel lists the film’s release date as November 3, 2017. [1]

Thor uses the line in the film, including during his attempt to leave Sakaar after speaking with Valkyrie. The meme pairs his serious justification with much smaller accomplishments. [2]

How the meme spread

  1. Thor: Ragnarok opens in the United States

Caption guide

Give a small helpful act the superhero treatment.

Put the deed in the open background to Thor’s right. Keep his face and the large yellow subtitle at the bottom visible.

Write in the first person for mock pride, or name someone else to give them exaggerated thanks. A concrete action is stronger than a general claim to be helpful.

The everyday act of heroism
In the open background at the upper right.
  • Describe one small good deed.
  • Leave the existing heroic line unchanged.
  • Keep Thor’s face visible.
  • Use the contrast between the small act and the grand response.
