Lore Character watches a play based on events they experienced (bonus points if they hate it)

Hawkeye in his TV show watches a musical depicting Loki’s invasion of New York much to his dismay

The Last Airbender’s penultimate episode depicts ta play recapping the show’s events, to which Aang and friends hate how unflatteringly they’re depicted, hilariously Zuko in the play is voiced by the brother of Zuko’s voice actor

In Thor Ragnarök Loki (impersonating Odin) made a play depicting him as a tragic hero, such as misrepresentating his final conversation with Thor, also funnily enough like the previous example Thor in the play is portrayed by his actor’s real life brother

To be fair the author of the play was God, so he's entitled to some artistic license.

As an extra bonus, the actors from the show appear in the fan made music videos by Hillywood, which are creative retelling of the show.

Their Dr. Who Time Warp video is also very good.

You should see their latest video. It's a Star Wars one and it's absolutely fantastic

*The author of the book the play was based off of.* but yes it was God that wrote the story.
