I had an exam, attended a lab, and went to work today. My brain is wet cereal right now. Genuinely what the fuck did I just read? Are these people actors? Can anyone explain please?
They’re pretending to be characters in stories that are self-aware of the tropes happening around them. If a filmmaker wanted to include a message that “violence only leads to more violence”, they might show the antagonist feeling uncomfortable on a throne, then end the movie with the main character also feeling uncomfortable on that same throne they just won, suggesting that the main character is about to lose and didn’t really win anything.
The third post is from the perspective of that character, going “hey what the fuck, I thought I won, now it seems like something bad is gonna happen”. The joke is that normally this would be something only shown to the audience as, like, a metaphor, but if a character somehow saw it too they’d be annoyed
