About
"He Was a Good Man / Until He Wasn't", sometimes prefixed by the phrase "Murder Documentaries Be Like", is a two-panel exploitable template in which two pictures compare a character before and after turning villainous, i.e. a duality of "good vs evil." It commonly comes in two types: either two different pictures of the same person in different situations or the exact same picture in inverted colors.
Origin
The first known version of the meme was posted on the subreddit r/SpidermanPS4[1] on January 6th, 2021, earning 7,700 points (shown below).[1] A much more popular post (below, right) appeared a month later, on the subreddit r/memes on February 7th, earning 92,300 points.[2]
