Just a month ago, the Internet was obsessed with Keanu Reeves. Then it was Belle Delphine's "Gamer Girl" bath water. And now it's Area 51, the secretive government base in that legend says houses extraterrestrials and alien artifacts. A Facebook group dedicated to storming Area 51 on September 20 has almost 2 million people agreeing to meet in the Nevada desert and raid the military base, which has sparked an endless stream of Area 51 memes in the past few days.

Reddit user PixelArtAddicted got in on the Area 51 craze by combining the idea with a scene from Mortal Kombat 11, calling it "The Great NetherRealm Studios/Area 51 Raid." The video labels some Outworld monsters as alien prison guards who rush to fight off the Area 51 raiders, which are comprised of various characters from Mortal Kombat 11.

In the video, a ship carrying 500,000 "meme lords" crashes on shore, with the first wave of attackers being "weebs and nine year olds." The action in the video is set to "Fortunate Son" by Creedence Clearwater Revival, a song that is often used in films about war, particularly the Vietnam War.

The "weebs and nine year olds" are soon joined by Mortal Kombat 11 fans who are looking for Mileena DLC. This joke is in reference to the fact that Mortal Kombat 11 doesn't feature Mileena as a playable character, which is something that the game was widely criticized for ahead of launch. NetherRealm decided to give Mileena's sister Kitana some of her moves, which only upset fans further. Despite the outrage at the lack of Mileena in Mortal Kombat 11, though, there has been no indication that she is going to be added to the game at any point in the future.

The final person who is helping to storm Area 51/NetherRealm Studios is "the one guy wanting Mokap DLC." Mokap, for the uninitiated, was a secret character in Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance who is literally a motion capture actor. Mokap appeared in a few Mortal Kombat games after his Deadly Alliance debut, but hasn't been seen since NetherRealm rebooted the franchise with 2011's Mortal Kombat.

The Internet will undoubtedly move on to some other meme eventually, but it's safe to say that there will be plenty more Area 51 memes in the weeks leading up to the supposed Area 51 raid date of September 20.

Mortal Kombat 11 is out now for PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One, with a Stadia version also in development.
