How to write this meme
Keep the top line close to the original so the format is instantly recognizable. Put the entire joke in the mirror as a short identity, not an explanation. Aim for a goal that is oddly small, avoidant, or ridiculous next to the serious vintage pose.
Caption zones
- Mirror — Punchline identity, object, or state that appears as “the man I want to become”
