About

I've Never Met This Man In My Life refers to a memorable quote uttered by the character Loki in the 2017 Marvel superhero film Thor: Ragnarok. A screenshot of Loki saying the line has since been used online as a reaction image macro to express willful ignorance.

Origin

On October 21st, 2017, YouTube channel First Trailer uploaded an "extended clip" of the then-upcoming Marvel superhero film Thor: Ragnarok. In the clip, Loki's brother Thor (portrayed by Tom Hiddleston and Chris Hemsworth, respectively) is being tortured. When the torturer asks Loki if he knows Thor, Loki lies and says, "I've never met this man in my life" (clip below).



Spread

On November 2nd, 2017, Tumblr [1] user maryxglz posted a GIF of the moment. The post received more than 300 notes in less than two years (shown below).
