Medium Awareness: Difference between revisions

(→‎Western Animation: Added Example)
Line 660:
* Team Rocket in ''[[Pokémon]]'' occasionaly broke it, usually while blasting off, and often by Meowth.
* A [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBBvIyGqQYI trailer] for DC Universe's then-upcoming ''[[Harley Quinn (2019)|Harley Quinn]]'' animated series, released at the 2018 NY Comic-Con, starts with Harley banging on the TV screen to get the viewers' attention. It ends with her commenting on the logo, which she apparently hadn't yet seen.
* Discord, from ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic]]''. Being a godlike embodiment of Chaos, having Medium Awareness is something of a [[Required Secondary Power]] for him. Not only does he know he's in a cartoon, his potent [[Reality Warping]] abilities extend to the fourth wall, letting him ''manipulate'' the cartoon. Not only can he address the viewers as easily as he does the Mane Cast, he can change the art style (to say, anime or CG-animation), change the genre, rewind or fast-forward the story, or (in comic book adaptations) rewrite captions. Also, much like the Genie in Disney's ''[[Aladdin (1992 Disney film)|Aladdin]]'', he tends to make jokes with pop culture references that, by all logic, should be unknown in Equestria, like [[Bob Ross]] and ''[[Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas]]''. But hey, such are the ways of Chaos.
