What’s your favorite piece of media that acts a deconstruction of the genre/medium?

My personal favorite for flawed reasons is Madoka because I was there for the live reactions to the infamous episode and it was magical watching everyone lose their shit. It was also my re-introduction to anime after being shamed out of it for liking sailor moon as a kid.

Snow Crash is the best Cyberpunk novel, which codified many tropes in the Cyberpunk genre, but is also a ridiculous, nearly slapstick satire of Cyberpunk.

Starship Troopers is a classic deconstruction of the war movie

I love snow crash. I read it immediately after nueromancer.

I also watched starship troopers (albeit years later) because I read the book as a kid and my dad wouldn’t let me watch the movie until I was older (probably a good call).
