The world is currently being dominated by the presence of a goofy-looking eccentric horse that was seen first in the trailer of Andre Garfield and Florence Pugh’s latest rom-com film, We Live in Time.
The horse has since been seen in countless places, including some of the games as well. Its appeal is directly proportional to the rising influence of video games on films.
The Goofy Horse From Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield’s Film Seems To Be Everywhere
The rise of the horse began after A24 released a promotional post, and the trick worked after the movie’s trailer did not go well. The post is a still from the carnival scene of the film, which features Andrew Garfield, Florence Pugh, and the horse.

The horse quickly became a part of the meme town and then slowly found it’s way into the world of gaming after many developers decided to take advantage of it.
Many studios jumped on it, including Larian Studios, who also shared a post with the horse in it on Twitter.

PlayStation UK even announced a petition to include the horse in every video game ever.

People have been attaching meaning to the symbolism behind the imagery, and it seems to be happening rapidly, enabled by social media. The horse has a terrifyingly beautiful gaze, which leaves the viewer beguiled in a single look. This is partly the reason why the horse speaks to many.
However, largely, the horse looks quite goofy in its appearance and this aspect starts revealing itself the more we indulge with the image. The gaming world is sure to have been enamored by it, which led to a series of Photoshops within some games.
The Gaming World Was Quick To Adapt
The horse was quick enough to envelope the internet with its presence, and the gaming world too was quick to adapt to it.
However, there is a ticking time bomb attached with the horse and it is not going to be long journey for it. Nevertheless, it can currently be seen goofing around in many of the widely celebrated games.
Some of the games infected by its presence include Baldurs Gate 3, God of War, World of Warcraft, and Halo, among many others.
Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh will be sharing screen for the first time in a love story and fans are excited to see how it pans out.
The hype has been consistent over the past few days and is currently only growing in presence; it is not certain for how long. It could be possible that its fall becomes proportional to its rise and is just as rapid. What are your thoughts on the infamous horse? Let us know in the comments below.
