Funnily enough, I looked up self awareness vs parody, and the first movie based article specifically addressed those two movies.

To summarize, parodies show why those things being parodied are dumb, while self awareness is embracing the tropes while not taking itself seriously. Which answers my question.

I watched the original Scream years after seeing Scary Movie, and realized Scary Movie is just Scream on cocaine. A lot of the jokes are the same or just slightly different.

What's the line between being self aware and a parody?

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were originally a parody of Daredevil. I think they have surpassed it in popularity.

Based on everything I've seen and read, there is not much benefit to funding a stadium, and that's without the owners' constant threats of leaving if they dont get more blackmail money.

Weirdly enough, the commercials are the things that trigger my nostalgia the most.
