Westworld is known for its surprise plot twists and complex narratives. An HBO production with a flair for artificial intelligence, apocalyptic themes, and a knack for casting Anthony Hopkins as not the main villain, Westworld is a show that keeps audiences on the edge of their seats while attempting to figure out the next big plot twist.
With a larger following, memes are certainly going to arise in response to the chaos that ensues in the show. Here are ten hilarious memes that only a true fan would understand from Westworld.
10 Three Episodes In
Westworld is pretty quick to turn the show's reality on its head. As early as episode three, the projected as reality is unraveling at its seams while audiences are trying to grasp the nature of the Westworld park and the motives of the guests, hosts, and those behind-the-theme-park-scenes.
9 File Not Found
Delores, an A.I. with a vendetta, is not the character to mess around with. After gaining her consciousness at the end of season one, Delores was privy to all of the abuse fellow robots had felt in the park, so when it came to figuring out how to right the wrongs that had been done, the sweet, girl-next-door character seemed to have flipped a switch. What was once an A.I. host that catered to the needs of others has now turned into a murderous rogue on a quest for vengeance.
When it comes to the old-fashioned phrase, "ignorance is bliss," perhaps Delores was happier before her awakening; however, and the surge of knowledge she received definitely proved that "knowledge is power."
8 Choose Your Own Adventure
Maeve Millay was also an A.I. that gained consciousness chose a different path than Delores. While Delores sought to avenge her pain, Maeve worked to find her fictional daughter who she perceived to love greatly. Both characters were able to awake from their routine robotic slumber with more information than they were used to, and with this, both chose very different paths to seek their happiness.
7 I Need Answers
It's difficult to stop watching the show after one episode. With so many unanswered questions across multiple timelines and narratives, one can't help but feel like a sleep-deprived Sheldon. As this meme insinuates, some dedicated viewers are still losing sleep over the unanswered question of season 2. Season 3's release can't come soon enough.
6 Freeze All Motor Functions
Nearly every computer user can relate to that moment when your device freezes at the most inopportune times, such as streaming the latest Westworld episode on HBO. This can have people feeling like Ford when trying to began control of an artificial situation in the park. This meme is also applicable to college students attempting to write an essay while streaming the show in the background.
5 Feeling Cute
Delores is known for her vendetta against humanity. I mean, it's hard for audiences to blame her given the abuse she endured; however, that doesn't make up for the fact that Delores, who was an A.I. built to convey a sweet girl-next-door character archetype within Westworld's parks, is indeed a wild card when it comes to her actions. One moment she could be that quaint character in her narrative that drops a can of condensed milk, or she could be massacring park guests on horseback. It all depends on the timeline audiences are watching.
Nevertheless, if Delores could post a meme, she might post a selfie with that very caption.
4 Something Of A Scientist
Westworld's plot twists are crazy at times that totally turn one's perception of the latest narrative on its head. Once it becomes apparent that, as quoted in Alice In Wonderland, "Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary-wise; what it is it wouldn't be, and what it wouldn't be, it would," audiences realize that Westworld's park is similar to Alice's Wonderland. In acknowledging this, viewers are able to open their minds up to the unlimited possible theories about the interconnectivity of the show's narratives. One might even propose an accurate theory.
By knowing that everything is connected in this show and guessing accurately a theory you've been hypothesizing since episode three, viewers can't help but feel like Willem Dafoe in this meme.
3 First Time Watching
When audiences watch Westworld for the first time, it is quite a rollercoaster ride. This is not a show where viewers can leisurely watch while doing other things. This show demands one's full attention. Otherwise, viewers are left rewinding over and over again in hopes of connecting the dots to plot moments that could be missed simply by checking the time. That being said, despite the level of attention put on the show during their first viewing, they are bound to be confused by plot twists and nonlinear timelines. Sometimes people can be left feeling a bit like Delores in this meme.
2 Westworld's Many Timelines
The nonlinear timelines can be tough to decipher between with so much action happening in the plot. It's common for audiences to feel lost in the murky waters of time while the A.I. robots struggle to decipher between realities, timelines, and guest acquaintances. Similar to how Delores feels in this meme, viewers can relate. Sometimes it's better to just stick with a linear timeline; it's easier to focus on.
1 West Of Westeros
There are a plethora of memes that pair Aspects of Game of Thrones with Westworld. Perhaps this is due to the similarity in the name "Westeros" and "Westworld" or the fact that both Westworld and Game Of Thrones are both hit HBO shows with a tendency to shock audiences. Whatever the case may be, it goes without saying that some audiences might appreciate, given the interconnectivity of the two shows on a production level, a crossover episode (even if it's just a parody).
