What does "Thoughts On Lanterns Meme" mean?

The Thoughts On Lanterns meme is an image format where people crudely redraw a promo photo from HBO's Green Lantern series Lanterns, showing Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler) and John Stewart (Aaron Pierre) walking down a road, as another famous duo and caption it "Thoughts on [that franchise]?" The original post went up on X on September 4, 2026, and the trend took off on September 8 after a deliberately bad edit went viral. Versions turned the pair into SpongeBob and Patrick, Walt and Jesse, and Cuphead and Mugman.
