Added folder to separate live-action films from animated films to avoid confusion.


* GenreSavvy/{{Film}}

to:

* GenreSavvy/{{Film}}[[GenreSavvy/LiveActionFilms Films — Live-Action]]


Added DiffLines:

[[folder:Films — Animation]]
* ''WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph'': Everyone has MediumAwareness; the fact that a small percentage of the population '''doesn't''' is a plot point.

It's been decided that Manhua and Manhwa examples shall be placed into their own folders. Moving example to the correct section.

Added DiffLines:

[[folder:Manhua]]
* In ''Manhua/GoddessCreationSystem'' Xiaxi ingratiates herself to nobles and royalty with knowledge of otome games to pinpoint their weaknesses. For Mingluan, a devoted servant. For Mingyi, a woman who scorns his every advance. For Jun'er, a mysterious woman who wants nothing of him and ignores his affections.

* On [[Roleplay/ClassTrials r/DanganRoleplay]], participants play out their own Franchise/{{Danganronpa}} Class Trials in which a mix of characters from the games participate in Class Trials try to figure out who among them committed a murder. The Class Trials are typically treated as taking place in their own strange continuity where the characters remember the events of the games, even if they were killed during them. This tends to lead to some rampant Genre Savviness on the cast's part as they often point out repeated Killing Game tropes due to their familiarity with the original games.[[/folder]]

!!Other examples:
[[foldercontrol]]

[[folder:Podcasts]]
* Some characters from ''Podcast/CoolKidsTable'' games are destined to be savvy towards the setting, and sometimes the players themselves become wise to what Alan might be planning when he [=GMs=].
** ''Creepy Town'' has Oliver Kennedy, who of course is this as he's based around Randy Meeks from ''Film/{{Scream}}''.
** Since they've all read the books, or are at least familiar with the Potterverse, the players in ''Hogwarts: The New Class'' are well aware of all the things that can go wrong in the magical world and plan accordingly.
** Yuki from ''Podcast/{{Sequinox}}'' is well aware of many MagicalGirl tropes, likely because her mom works as a localizer. This helps when she discovers she and her friends are magical girls themselves. Unfortunately this also dips into WrongGenreSavvy since the presence of Chel and Syd pushes the series more towards an AffectionateParody.

Added DiffLines:

[[folder:Roleplay]]
* ''RolePlay/NoMatterWhatHappensIStillWontBecomeAnAnimeCharacter'' has Sakura Kokoro who has anime plot hook spotting down to a science. [[JustifiedTrope Justified, as the whole point of the game is to avoid being entangled in an anime plot.]]
* In ''Roleplay/SurvivalOfTheFittest'', v4 character Bounce had been a massive fan of the series prior to her own involvement in it and as such references things like ThePowerOfFriendship never working in [=SOTF=] and the fact that, as an unfit, unpopular nerd, there's no point in her making plans because people like her never stand a chance.
* In Roleplay/WeAreOurAvatars, @/AweStriker and @/{{Ozbourne}}, due to being humans from worlds very much like ours, often have familiarity with the fictional universes that many of the other characters come from. This is fairly common amongst most {{Author Avatar}}s, but a lot of other characters happen to be as well.
* Both the players and the [[BigBad Godmodder]] in ''Roleplay/DestroyTheGodmodder'' are this, and this may be one of the reasons why they are so powerful.
** Taken up to eleven by the dangerously [[BreakingTheFourthWall meta]] Crystalcat, who is able to exploit his status as a character in a forum game.

This entry is the wrong location, it happens in the book, but not in the main show (at least, not yet).


* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'':
** In Volume 6, the heroes are forced to fight a HumongousMecha. As Oscar uses his vantage point in the airship to try and identify the location of the mecha's shield generator, Ruby suggests over comms that it might be on the back because, in the video games she plays, that's where they're always located. Weiss interrupts the conversation to complain that Ruby's being stupid because this isn't a video game. However, Ren identifies the location of the shield generator to be exactly where Ruby anticipated.
** In the fairy tale ''[[Literature/RWBYFairyTalesOfRemnant The Girl in the Tower]]'', [[BigGood Professor Ozpin]] observes that the girl effectively rescued herself. Growing up secretly reading fairy tales and dreaming of being rescued by a fairy tale prince, she is inspired to turn her situation into a fairy tale that will attract heroes from far and wide to rescue her. It succeeds, but Ozpin's notes question whether she lied to achieve her goal. [[spoiler:The tale is a sanitised version of how he and [[BigBad Salem]] first met, and Ozpin implies this version is the very tale she crafted while imprisoned. However, his notes strongly imply that, after having been worn down by thousands of years [[ForeverWar endlessly fighting]] his ex-wife, he is haunted by the possibility that he never truly knew her at all.]]
