Line 135:
* The [[Grand Finale]] for ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' premiered a day after ''[[The Dark Knight]]''. In ''[[The Dark Knight]]'', Alfred tells Bruce "Some men just want to watch the world burn." (though this line featured prominently in a teaser trailer a year prior). The very next day audiences got to see Fire Lord Ozai trying to burn the entire Earth Kingdom to the ground. It was like they knew the movie would be premiering on the same weekend!
** It gets better! Fire Lord Ozai is voiced by Mark Hamill, [[Hey, It's That Voice!|who also voiced the Joker]] in ''[[Batman: The Animated Series|Batman the Animated Series]]''.
** Another Hilarious in Hindsight moment for the ''Avatar'''s Grand Finale moment comes from a piece of fan art called "[https://web.archive.org/web/20120301163018/http://alexds1.deviantart.com/art/How-we-roll-79828584 How we roll]," Zuko [[What the Hell, Hero?|complains to the heroes for sitting around doing nothing while his evil relatives plot]]. Four months later, the Grand Finale airs, and Zuko's doing the exact same thing.
** Yet another, more in the vein of the ''Star Wars'' fandom: Mark Hamill, who played Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars movies, plays the evil overlord father of one of the main characters. Role reversal much? He even shoots lightning!
** "The Ember Island Players" features [[Who Would Want to Watch Us?|a play based on the Gaang's adventures]] which isn't exactly accurate. In light of the live-action [[The Last Airbender|film]], this exchange seems almost prophetic.
Line 207:
** The episode "Grounder the Genius" has the villains launched into the air by an explosion triggered by a lightning bolt. [[Pokémon (anime)|Sounds familiar]]...
*** In the same episode, [[Sonic R|TAILS DOLL]]!
** And that wasn't the only image with hindsight reference to Pokémon. In one episode, Dr. Robotnik is wearing a sweater identical to Team Rocket's uniform - [http://sophghizz.deviantart.com/art/Robotnik-s-Sweater-181857905?q look]{{Dead link}}.
** The most infamous Sonic Sez tells kids that being touched in a way or place that makes you feel uncomfortable is no good. In the Sonic games, [[Clingy Jealous Girl|Amy Rose]] does [[The Glomp|just that]] (or at least tries) to Sonic. Makes you wonder why he doesn't take his own advice and [[Minor Injury Overreaction|tell a police officer]].
* One episode of ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'' has a moment where the boys teleport Buford's teddy bear, who was tied to the grill of a truck, back to him. I saw this after I watched ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]] 3'', and {{spoiler|considering the same thing happened to Lotso, another teddy bear, that just made it funnier}}.
