Do you remember where you were when the first Fast & Furious came out?

Peacock just officially announced the next step in the Fast & Furious franchise, and it's a full-blown series. The family's story is not even over in the movie world, but there is already enough lore to get a series going. Of course there is; it's Fast & Furious! If you remember the first Fast & Furious from 2001, then you remember a group of misfits who taught you how to conduct illegal street car races, steal appliances from a moving truck, and, most importantly, family. If you have been keeping up with the series since, you have seen this escalate to levels your 2001-self could have never imagined! Heck, this "family" has even made it to space at this point. Wilder things have happened in the world of movie magic. So I can't help but wonder what will happen now that the franchise has entered the TV series chat!

I still remember when the first Fast & Furious film came out (yes, I am that old…). I was just a young, impressionable kid who thought fixing up cars must be a wonderful world of friendship and family. Even with the ideas of grandeur that film made me have, I surprisingly did not end up in the world of hot cars. Well, maybe not surprisingly… But who knows?! It was a different time in 2001, lots of things were going on, and people were feeling delusional. It could've happened. Wouldn't have been the worst thing to happen in the world that year…
Anyways, we don't need to get into the history of 2001, let's just focus on the Fast & Furious. That was the first film, and it felt finite. Little did we know we would get 12 films out of it, each more chaotic than the last! The seventh film in the series, Furious 7, from 2015, is its highest-grossing one, making $1.15 billion worldwide. I have absolutely no idea what happens in this film, as my knowledge goes as far as the first film, 2 Fast 2 Furious, and Tokyo Drift, but that trilogy is epic and all you truly need. If you'd like to dive into the bizarre world that is the rest of the 9 movies, then be my guest and buckle up! Heck, maybe I'll join you to prepare for this series, due to come out in 2028.

A film franchise and soon-to-be TV series with so much lore obviously means more than just a cash cow in cinema… It also means more memes! The Fast & Furious franchise was always a beautiful plethora of meme inspiration. Even after tragedy struck and stole Paul Walker, one of the actors in a lead role, away from the films, fans celebrated him with humor and still do! The fandom for this franchise is very serious. You could even call them a family. And that is not a joke! Before his passing, Paul Walker anonymously spent $9k on an engagement ring for a happy couple who were fans and met him in a jewelry store. Like, that's an absolutely precious man, and anybody is lucky to be a fan of him and his Fast & Furious legacy!

There is something so magical and wholesome about an action and debauchery film franchise that produces memes about family and friendship. These films obviously go much deeper than just their entertainment value. They spread an important message of the heart. Sure, saving the world is a heroic adventure and driving cars really fast and doing daring stunts off of them while in motion is impossible to look away from, but that's not what these films are about. They share a message that no matter who different you feel from the status quo, no matter who hard life has been hitting you to the ground, you can always find peace and solace in your family and friends. And that's not just DNA family, that also includes the chosen family you have crafted in your life, perhaps without even realizing it.
