About

I'm the Upgrade, also known as You're Just a Cheap Fucking Knock-off, refers to a scene from the Amazon superhero television series The Boys in which the character Soldier Boy calls the villain Homelander a "cheap knock-off" of him, with Homelander replying that he is "the upgrade" during the pair's first encounter. In late June 2022, the scene spawned a two-panel exploitable meme format where users labeled Soldier Boy and Homelander with various text and images to portray something as superior.
