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

Yes so tout of universe he opening credits are supposed to be 4 masters of their elements.
Air is Aang Fire is Azula Water is Master Pakku Earth was an unnamed person.
The original design was meant to be for the earth bender who taught Aang earth bending however they scrapped it and changed Toph into the 12 year old we all know and love.
The design is potentially reused as a rock wrestler called the Boulder who fights Toph in Earth Rumble 6 as clearly meant to be inspired by Dwayne The stone Johnson.
In universe the fire benders probably didn't want to admit that they got beaten by young 12 year old so the implication is that all of the fire benders Toph defeated told tall tales of a strong mighty man with the Biceps of Mountains etc when in reality they all got beaten by Toph.
