Our world was rocked this week when, seemingly out of nowhere, the new 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. Despite potentially heavier hitters like Avengers and Star Wars are releasing this year, it seems more and more people just want to inject Detective Pikachu directly into their veins.

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

I know it’s a little early for 2020 Oscar predictions, but I think Ryan Reynolds is a lock for best actor to say “putz” while playing Pikachu in a live-action Pokemon moviehttps://t.co/NsMV16Uzg2

I know precisely fuck-all about Pokemon but think that DETECTIVE PIKACHU movie looks fun. I don’t even know who I am anymore but I am not afraid.

“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
