On Cinema has better story telling and character development than most of Hollywood.

The Onion is way better than real life, especially currently.

As an animation nerd I gotta mention Shrek. As a parody of "Disney princess movies" it killed the entire genre dead.

The only time Disney tried to play the tropes somewhat straight again was the Princess and the Frog, and THAT was a major flop (though racism probably also played a part in that).

Since then Disney only made remakes or titles like Frozen that spend 70% of their runtime mugging at themselves and poking fun at their own tropes (... While still circling back to them anyway and failing to make any point or commentary)

On a less "this made a major cultural impact" note and more of a "this personally completely altered my entire sense of humour and replaced the original in my heart" -- SnapCube's Realtime Fandub Games Sonic Adventure 2

Oh oh ohohoh! Just remembered JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Very much a manga that was poking fun at contemporaries like Fist of the North Star... And while it didn't outlive or outdo them per se, it definitely gained a life of its own, continuing to this day and actually being quite influential in its own right.

princess and the frog had no chance, disney wanted it to fail so they had an excuse to never go back to 2d animation again

Probably, I watched because of my kid recently, and it striked me as one of the better Disney movies. In fact, it's a pretty awesome one compared to recent bigger hits like Frozen and etc.

's a good movie. Predictable as those disney princess musicals tend to be--

-- But still. It's pretty. It's entertaining. And the music sequences are awesome.

I also quite liked it. It feels like a 'classic' Disney movie.

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead is better than Hamlet. Sure, it had the benefit of an extra couple of centuries of progress in art, but I think it still counts.

Deadpool It was a parody of DCs Deathstroke, right down to the guy's name Slade/Wade.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago

I always thought Deadpool and Deathstroke look eerily similar

Amish paradise. I find the song better than the original(s)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 19 minutes ago

Man, thank you for adding that (s).

Stinks that almost no one knows Gangster's Paradise is a remake.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 59 minutes ago

Also the Weird Al style parodies. Dog Eat Dog is one of the best Talking Heads songs ever.

Nobody every mentions "I Think I'm a Clone Now".

I can be at home while I'm out of town
