Amazon's Invincible gave fans a moment that has been meme-worthy to this day, and a Shang-Chi fan decided to share their own spin.

A fan of Invincible and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings has combined both of the properties in order to recreate the popular "Think Mark!" meme that has been taking over the internet. These two shows have a lot more in common than many would think at first glance, especially since Shang-Chi isn't nearly as violent as Invincible is.

Both shows are one of the very few comic book properties with a protagonist of Asian descent as the lead (though technically mark is half-alien because his father is a Viltrumite). Both protagonists have fathers who possess immense amounts of power that lead them to be one of the most feared people on the planet. Both protagonists lean on their mother's teachings/energy in order to balance out the "evil" in their father. With that being said, the meme fits Marvel Studios' Shang-Chi perfectly.

The Instagram account belongs to @Darth.Primus and they post a lot of still photography, with the subject being action figures that belong to pop culture or the comic book genre. On the page, fans can see photography that has the Fantastic Four, G.I.Joe, X-Men, Hawkeye, Joker and Harley Quinn, Batman, J. Jonah Jameson, and multiple iterations of Thor. The account can now add Shang-Chi to the mix, as the movie was released this month to a great reception. The movie has a fight scene between the Mandarin and the titular character, which the fan page thought was reminiscent of the battle between Omni-Man and Invincible, as both fathers were trying to get their point of view across to their sons in the middle of a fight while also trying to kill them (which is counterproductive).

The Invincible meme has been taking the internet by storm, with many people recreating the moment from the animated series. Many are anticipating a second season of the popular show and hoping that it does well in order to convince Amazon to renew the series for several years. In addition, many are excited for Shang-Chi's return to the Marvel universe, as the movie opened up the doors for many things to come in the upcoming MCU projects.

While fans wait for follow-ups to both properties, audiences can watch Shang-Chi in theaters and Invincible on Amazon Prime. Invincible is proving that superhero properties don't have to be clean in order to do well and Shang-Chi is proving that breaking boundaries is possible while also smashing the box office.

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is currently in theaters.
