In a conversation between Omni-Man (Nolan) and his son Mark, the format distills into two panels: Mark asks a reasonable question about how something works or when something happens, and Omni-Man delivers the crushing punchline: \"That's the neat part, you don't.\" The meme weaponizes the phrase to shut down any expectation, hope, or assumption in two clean panels. It spread rapidly on Reddit and Twitter throughout 2021. For a similar hope-crushing format, see Anakin Padme 4 Panel (dawning realization).
