A great early example of this is seen in The Simpsons. The show famously broke the fourth wall, openly acknowledging it was a cartoon and that it would prioritize humor over realism.

There, they encounter a disturbing wax museum and must struggle to survive and avoid becoming the next displays.

Currently, Wicked: For Good has a 73% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 83 critic reviews. This continues a successful run for director Jon M. Chu, as all his films since 2018’s Crazy Rich Asians have received positive ratings on the site. However, this score is lower than the 88% achieved by the original Wicked film, meaning reviews aren’t quite as overwhelmingly positive this time.
The gaming landscape is changing. For years, we’ve seen a gradual rise in the quality of independent games, and this year it’s really become apparent. While big-budget AAA titles still generate a lot of excitement, indie games are standing out with compelling stories, distinctive art styles, and engaging gameplay that larger developers struggle to match. This is reflected in this year’s Game of the Year nominations, which include three strong contenders from the indie world: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Hades II, and Hollow Knight: Silksong.
