‘Voltes V: Legacy’ just began airing but netizens have already come up with some of the most creative memes about the show.
In addition to being a popular topic on Twitter, the live-action remake has also become a source of memes.
Director Mark Reyes even joined in on the fun by sharing some of the most amusing ones that cleverly combined our familiar fast food experiences with scenes from the film.
For instance, Carla Abellana portrayed Mary Ann Armstrong with a serious expression on the flight deck. This image was accompanied by a caption suggesting she was taking orders for takeout as if she were a fast food employee.
