AboutWhat does the meme depict?
The "Man vs. Giant" meme, also known as "Yhorm vs. Ashen One," features a scene involving a confrontation between two characters from the video game Dark Souls 3. In the template, Yhorm the Giant, a colossal and daunting boss figure, stands in an epic pose ready to battle the significantly smaller Ashen One, who represents the player. This meme is typically used to depict a scenario where a smaller, seemingly weaker individual or entity is up against a vastly superior challenge or opponent.
