You Were the Chosen One Meme Generator

The air fryer was going to make you healthy. You read the recipe book cover to cover. It now makes chips, exclusively, three times a week.

The standing desk was going to change your life. You've stood at it twice, once to fix the wobble. It is now where the post goes to die.

You bought a beautiful leather planner in January, with stickers. February has one entry. It says "use planner". March is blank.

Your friend set up the group chat to "finally get everyone organised". 212 messages later, nobody has picked a date, and three people are arguing about a restaurant that closed.

Why it caught on: it's Obi-Wan's heartbroken speech to Anakin on the banks of lava on Mustafar in Revenge of the Sith (2005): "You were the chosen one! It was said that you would destroy the Sith, not join them!" Anakin answers "I hate you!", and Obi-Wan, "You were my brother, Anakin." Ewan McGregor played it straight, and it became the line for anything that let down very high hopes.
