Spoilers for Berserk’s Golden Age Arc, Tsukimichi episode 11, and Attack on Titan season 4 episode 4.
A rectangular image bearing three characters on the bottom and a white title over a black background on the top. The title reads: The "he had no choice" starter pack.
The characters are, from left to right...
1) Femto (aka: Griffith) from the anime Berserk stands ominously with head tilted partially down and eyes forward to the audience. He bears a purple skin-tight bird-like armor that only reveals his eyes and mouth areas respectively. Behind him are monstrous creatures bearing large teeth and eyes.
2) Makoto from the anime Tsukimichi: Moonlit Fantasy walks forward with dead eyes directed at the audience. His hair is black and neck-length with bangs reaching just past his eyelids while the center one passes his eyes completely. His expression is cold with unknown intention. He wears blue dapper buttoned-up clothes of a merchant. All around him is darkness and a strange mist.
3) Eren from the anime Attack on Titan stands in front of an orange brick building while staring forward at the audience with a look of conviction. His left eye and forehead are covered with bandages while his dark brown neck-length hair covers half of that side of his face and flows far past his right eye, which is mostly visible. He wears a tan colored top of some sort.
All three characters either already have done something evil, have already decided to, or both.

Found on Reddit. I haven't seen the graphic styles of the past few decades laid out so succinctly before this. Like, I went to school for graphic design at the start of the Aero movement and couldn't have told you that was the trend back then, though I certainly made plenty of designs in the style.
I do remember when flat graphics started to take over. It started with the app icons and slowly spread from there. Most of what I've designed professionally has been in the flat era. I realized the other day when making some cute dinosaurs for a kid's product that the style I was doing them in was a direct result of all the obnoxious corporate flat art and nearly threw my tablet across the room, lol.
Memphis is on its revival cycle and I'm totally here for it. I shudder to think of when Y2K comes back though. It was so easy to make that style look absolutely hideous.
