Our world was rocked this week when, seemingly out of nowhere, the first trailer for Detective Pikachu dropped. Yep. This is a live-action film in which the titular electric rodent is voiced by none other than Ryan Reynolds and wears an adorable hat to help him solve Pokemon-related crimes.
Just see for yourself:
Naturally, the memes and tweets starting coming and they haven’t stopped coming. Some are praising Detective Pikachu as their new god, while others are more fearful of his life-like terror. Regardless of anyone’s opinions, you can bet your ass that I will be in a theater seat on day one.

I’m going to preemptively say that hollywood should cancel the four avatar movies they’re planning and instead use that $1.4 billion to make sixteen detective pikachu sequels

“The kids call it Ass Koffing. They catch poison-type Pokemon and huff the gas out of them to get high. Too bad the morgue says the comedown ain’t pretty.” pic.twitter.com/E1Xzig1Kpb
