The Fast and the Furious movies were once about street-racing. Now they are about a group of what essentially amount to superhuman action heroes led by Vin Diesel's Dominic Toretto who complete increasingly impossible tasks, all through the power of "family." The growing absurdity of the Fast films and Vin Diesel's obsession with "family" has not escaped the attention of the Internet, and so now Vin Diesel family memes are all over the place.
The Vin Diesel family memes have been targeted at video games, movies, anime, and more, though they all have essentially the same punchline. Basically, Vin Diesel's Dominic Toretto is faced with a task that should be well out of the wheelhouse of an illegal street racer, but inspired by his "family," Dom is able to get the job done anyway. Some are already sick of the memes, but with F9 doing so well at the box office, one has to imagine that they're going to continue for some time to come.
Here are some of the best Vin Diesel family memes we've been able to find so far.
Avengers: Infinity War
Fate/Grand Order
Final Fantasy
Guardians of the Galaxy
Harry Potter
Jurassic Park
Man of Steel
The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion
The Fast and the Furious
While one's mileage may vary with the Vin Diesel family memes, there's no denying that they've taken over the Internet these last few days. They may get some Vin Diesel fans wondering what's next for the movie star, and as it turns out, Diesel has a number of projects in the pipeline. Besides working on at least two more Fast and Furious sequels, Diesel is also set to appear in an upcoming video game.
ARK 2 will star Vin Diesel for its story mode, which was one of the most surprising announcements at The Game Awards last year. Exactly how that will play out remains to be seen, but it will definitely be interesting to see how ARK does with a more focused, story-driven kind of game.
ARK 2 is unlikely to be the last video game to feature Vin Diesel. Diesel has appeared in numerous video games in the past, often based on his films. One of the most well-known is The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay, which served as a prequel to The Chronicles of Riddick film. Diesel has hinted that a new Riddick video game could materialize, likely as a companion to the fourth Riddick movie that's in development.
