The scene

Based on the 2009 hijacking of the Maersk Alabama. After the pirates board the ship, their leader Muse tells Captain Phillips: “Look at me. Look at me. I’m the captain now.”

The meme is used for anything taking control, such as a cat claiming your chair or autocorrect rewriting your message.
