![]() “I wasn’t even that young when I became Robin!”) Every movie/show in The Boys (Dick Grayson would have probably pulled an Aang and raged over being played by a woman. My only regret is that we couldn’t see all the other characters’ reactions to the musical versions of themselves. Terry McGinnis, the new Batman, gets to poke fun at his predecessor while Bruce deals with an onslaught of regret and nostalgia that comes from both another birthday passing and seeing this parody of himself. Though we only ever get to hear the first two songs of this musical, it is as laughable as it is heartbreaking. Batman the Musical of Batman Beyond (Kids WB/WB Animation) Scream 3 deserves special mention for being a big middle finger to Harvey Weinstein and the other predatory producers of Hollywood (despite being a film made by his production company). All the Scream/Stab movies have interesting things to say about the entertainment/news industries and how they can exploit people (victims, actors, etc.) and tragic events in order to get the best story (which is especially ironic given Ghostface is arguably based on a real killer). The Stab series is unique in that the events of the movies begin to affect Sidney and co.’s real lives in later movies the Ghostface of Scream 3 ends up being the director of Stab 3 (and Sidney’s secret half-brother), and the Ghostface of Scream (2022) ends up being two superfans who want new, better Stab movies to be made by providing new source material. (Also, the fact that many of the characters’ reactions sound like them reacting to the live-action movie is hilarious in hindsight.) Rogers: The Musical and the Thor plays of the MCU ![]() But this episode raised the bar, making fun of itself and its characters, while again expanding the world by showing how the Fire Nation and, arguably, the world at large views the Gaang. The best part is that most recaps of shows building up to the finale are clip shows of the group’s greatest successes and defeats. The Ember Island Players of Avatar: The Last Airbender (Nickelodeon/Paramount) Not only did it show how the “common man” viewed most of the early events of Games of Thrones-or, at least, how the Lannisters want the common man to see them: Ned as an uncivilized, foolish traitor Cersei as a loving mother, wife, and queen Tyrion as the trickster/evil uncle who has more in common with Petyr Baelish than his true self-but it also gave us Essie Davis as Lady Crane, the actress playing Cersei, who develops a surprising friendship with Arya during her training to become a Faceless Man. ![]() The King’s Play on Game of Thrones (HBO)Īs awful as the show eventually became, this play was a spot of light in one of the later seasons. From Avatar: The Last Airbender to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, these are the best in-universe parodies from our favorite shows and movies. You either die a serious story or you go on long enough to parody yourself-and we love these shows for it.
