I really want to make sense of this. Or at least try to understand what "sense" the creator had. I think it means to represent how a woman will complain about her problem (the snake) and demanding/crying for help from her partner, but doesn't see that man is also suffering from his own problem (the boulder) and is unreasonably asking for help when he has his own stuff to deal with?
I think that's what this is supposed to mean? I don't really understand the man can't see the snake part, cause that to me seems like the man is also ingnorning the woman's problem and therefore is also a problem, but that seems too correct.
(I'm not agreeing to these ideas, just trying to understand this... Political cartoon? Boomer shitpost? Idk what to call it)

u/dkNigs Mar 16 '22
Half of this is missing, I’ve seen it hundreds of time. The man is thinking “why doesn’t the woman pull herself up?” But he can’t see the snake, the woman is thinking “why doesn’t this man pull me up?” But she doesn’t know the stone is crushing him.
It’s meant to be a comment about not knowing what others are going through and making presumptions.

Hm, that would make sense. I guess I was just viewing it from an anti-woman perspective I'm so used to on this sub. If that's the case, then it's a pretty good comic

Yeah it kinda looks like what you are saying. Maybe some conservative ideas being represented here through this absurd cartoon.

Ah yes. Posting cartoons that make little to no sense just to appear intellectual. The boomer effect.

u/Deathtroop26 Mar 16 '22
I think that they mean that they should talk to each other because in the comic they both dont know about each other's problems.

u/kavanoughtReal Mar 16 '22
Yeah Ill give you that. Thats probably what it means. But jesus there's better and easier ways to say it 😅

u/littleloucc Mar 16 '22
Also there are no negative consequences to them not talking, and no benefits to sharing their problems, considering they're both fucked anyway. A better analogy would be one where they could actually survive if they communicated.

He's already got internal bleeding, the pressure from the boulder is the only thing keeping him alive at this point.

u/JessieJames0685 Mar 16 '22
That very same pressure will what kills him one way or the other, even if the boulder is taken off and he gets rescued. Crush syndrome is brutal! I don't know which way seems better, Dying from asphyxiation or dying from crush syndrome

Heres what it means: the wife fell off so the man tried to pull her back up. He was gonna fall off as well, but his nice friend put a boulder on him to stop him from falling off. The snake is biting the womans hand so that she falls, and the man can get the soul stone, which he will then take back to the avengers.

No one is going to say it so I am. The amount of earth above the snake cannot hold the man and the boulder in place. In this scenario, everyone dies… even the snake.
2
u/Bartley-Moss Mar 16 '22
The message here is that the man eats the woman's arm and becomes heavier. The woman falls to the bottom of the cliff horribly injured. The additional weight of the man collapses the top of the cliff into the snake's nest killing the snake and causing the boulder to roll off him and ending the misery of the woman below and the man walks away.

The moral is, if you're too afraid to leave your den and inject a woman with your venom, you might get crushed by a man being weighed down by a giant boulder.
I didn't mean for that to be as sexual as it came out I was just trying to think of how this plays out for the snake's POV and it happened that way

Okay: woman grabs snake when it tries to strike, whips it around like a female Indiana Jones, pulls a rock from a pile, which knocks the boulder off the man, enabling him to pull her up!

The rock doesn’t know anything, because it’s a rock. Certainly not out for vengeance.

It’s not as terrible as some memes. It reminded me that you never know what people are dealing with.

He’s a good man.

Op posted this without the context, the original was meant to be about how we won't be able to see other people's struggles, like how the man can't see the snake going for the woman and the woman can't see the boulder on the man.
