Out of the Ghetto	comment	Ah, the ghettos of fiction. We're all familiar with them: cartoons are for kids (and comic books are for slightly older kids), SpecFic is for nerds, romance novels (and soaps) are for single women and housewives, black shows are for black people, rap is for gangstas, classical music is for snobs, new media, especially video games, are for unproductive deviants, printed works are for people with one foot in the grave, etc. In short, the medium, and to a lesser extent the genre, define the target audience. Entire classes of works are "pigeonholed" into "target" demographics, and woe unto any fan who happens to fall one day, dollar, chromosome, or lateral inch outside of these appointed bounds. Some works surrender and even embrace these holes, falling into unoriginality and Flanderization, so long as the money keeps rolling in. Then, you get something that blows away the conventional notions. A work that dares to challenge a genre's or medium's natural order, or even, dare we say it, threatens to expand its demographic! (Even if it's to retain viewers it already had.) If it changes perceptions of the genre as a whole, then it could even be a Genre Turning Point. Often a work that breaks out of the ghetto (and its fans) will attract its own hatedom due to outsiders rigidly holding the ghetto lines while upholding their personal "definitions" of "True Art"; along with the genre's/medium's "normal" target audience saying that the work makes their (ghetto-compliant/sustaining) favorites "look bad" and/or employing No True Scotsman. In the case of a deviation to a long-running franchise, They Changed It, Now It Sucks! often comes into play. Remember, ghettos are created by society, convention, advertisers, and critics, and have no bearing on how artists actually work. Artists actually draw influences from a wide variety of references and don't see their work in the way categories are created. Thanks to changes in society, evolving trends, and growing sophistication (and vice versa) of audiences, this is very much a Cyclical Trope and subject to Popularity Polynomial. Contrast It's Popular, Now It Sucks!, wherein a work/creator who previously challenged established conventions accepts them to grow its fanbase or pocketbook.

Out of the Ghetto / int_12dde29	comment	XÃ³chitl Hamada was largely responsible for getting luchadoras into the largest promotions during the 1990s and 2000s, first being one of the front runners of CMLL's world women's division when it declared its own world titles independent of the NWA, and when Reina Jubuki's ties to WCW caused the division to go vacant she jumped ship to AAA and entered a feud with the Moreno family popular enough to lead to the establishment of the Reina De Reinas, which couldn't have come at a better time since AAA's entry into the market was a key factor in putting LLI out of business (and scattering UWA to the winds). Lady Apache tends to be most credited in keeping luchadoras in CMLL after Hamada left and also kept the AAA women's divisions Hamada inspired going as she jumped between the two promotions.

Out of the Ghetto / int_12fac4c	comment	GLOW was a campy, ridiculous So Bad, It's Good TV show in the 80s that ended up being quite a hit. It was an all-women's wrestling comedy show. The majority of on-screen characters were women and it lasted four seasons. The only reason it didn't last was that the main investor pulled out, they couldn't find anyone to finance it and going on the road ate up their budget(lessons TNA didn't learn). While it's remembered as a Guilty Pleasure these days, this was still a time when women's wrestling was far from a mainstream thing outside of Japan.

However, that hasn't stopped them from being incredibly successful with male and female audiences (being one of the only surviving point-and-click adventures games still around probably helps), winning lots of praise for being just plain good and for getting girls interested in gaming and technology.

Even her body design was given less attention to female form and more to an athletic build to attribute the fact that she is indeed skilled.

Movie is another in a string of positively received video game adaptations since the trend started in 2019 with PokÃ©mon Detective Pikachu and continued by the Sonic films, as well as The Last of Us, Arcane and Cyberpunk: Edgerunners in television. The Super Mario Bros. Movie meanwhile, managed to capture much more of the general audience's interest in video game adaptations compared to prior films, scoring blockbuster box office numbers that have been able to compete with some of Disney's biggest animated hits.

Out of the Ghetto / int_1cf9838c	comment	For most of television's existence, educational science shows skewed one of two ways: really young, or really stuffy. PBS's Bill Nye the Science Guy broke those archetypes down with a fast-paced, outwardly comedic, yet still highly educational show (with one of the catchiest theme songs of any show, period), with an equally energetic host whose comedic chops, lab coat, and bowtie made him the coolest science teacher to America's kids, and certainly inspired a great number of them to pursue scientific fields as a result. The show also garnered a big periphery fanbase among high schoolers and above due to its witty scripts, off-beat humor, and Weird-Al-level science spoofs of popular alt-rock songs of its era. Even as Nye has ventured outside his kids' show persona into programs with more personalized viewpoints than his signature series, he remains as beloved an educational television personality as anyone, with kids from the '90s still admitting their favorite days in science class was when the teacher drew down the shades and played a Bill Nye cassette.

The show is very known for its Seinfeldian Conversation, heavy use of clever, fast-paced wordplay, their Shout-Out on pop culture, and its colorful cast. It had 7 seasons but the last one experienced Executive Meddling when the creators left the show after season 6 which led to a premature ending. However, in 2016, a four-episode limited series was released on Netflix which gave closure to the series for good.

The cast was almost entirely female — with males only appearing in recurring roles - and the show managed to last three seasons. Notably its spin-off, which featured more males in the main cast, did not do so well.

Out of the Ghetto / int_227431b6	comment	Runaways have always been popular with both sexes, and broke Brian K. Vaughan into the mainstream, even though the women have always outnumbered the men on the team. Traditionally, there are four women, two men, and a female dinosaur. This fact gets lampshaded a number of times, with the team sometimes called "Team Estrogen" or "Team Double-X". The fact that it maintains a broad appeal by focusing on struggles relatable to women and men, and the humor and charm being applicable to all, is likely a major factor in this.

Out of the Ghetto / int_23945975	comment	Disney Animated Canon: It seems that the Disney marketing team was nervous about Frozen, judging by the fact that the advertisements seemed to focus almost entirely on the two male Plucky Comic Relief sidekicks, and not the sisters the film was actually about. However the film was spectacularly successful at the box office, well-received by critics, and earned many awards including Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song at the Oscars. Zootopia, like Lilo and Stitch above, features both a male and female protagonist, but the advertising made it clear that the girl bunny Judy Hopps was the central protagonist. It has also become the Disney Animated Canon's third highest grossing film, domestically (just below Frozen and The Lion King), and second highest grossing, worldwide (below Frozen). Moana went back to giving Disney Princess-centric movies the heroine's name in the title, and teaser trailers that featured one of the original songs. Fortunately, it still managed to break $240M domestically. Since it marks the first Disney Princess movie since The Princess and the Frog with a cast consisting mostly of performers of color, this also counts as an instance of breaking out of the Minority Show Ghetto. However, Disney didn't officially refer to Moana as a princess until years after the picture's release; she insists that Maui instead call her, "a chief's daughter."

Out of the Ghetto / int_24705e44	comment	The NXT Women's division has really broken out of it. Taking cues from the ultra-popularity of A.J. Lee on the main roster, NXT's writers invested hard in developing their female talent and started to give actual time for matches. Most of the NXT Divas (aside from a few base breakers and the near-universally despised Eva Marie) have been very well received. The likes of Paige, Emma and Bayley have become very popular with fans - male and female. The women's division is consistently praised as one of the highlights of NXT. The live specials eventually went ahead and began treating the women's matches as high-profile must-see encounters. And a match between Sasha Banks and Bayley was announced as the main event of one - the first time a women's match had ever main evented a WWE PPV. This escalated in 2016 where Sasha and Charlotte not only got the first women's Hell In A Cell match; they were the main event of a main roster PPV.

Out of the Ghetto / int_247422c7	comment	Honor Harrington is a sci-fi military series centering on a female starship commander. Of course, Honor is very tomboyish, particularly in the early books, and learning to embrace her femininity is a major part of her character arc in the first three books. The major story arc of the books would arguably play out the same except for a few key points (particularly the plotlines involving the male-dominated Protectorate of Grayson) if Honor were a male character.

Nickelodeon proved everyone wrong by making Clarissa - a smart, funny, free-thinking girl - the lead character and one of the most recognizable characters in that time period. Much of Nickelodeon's future programming, from The Secret World of Alex Mack to iCarly, also pushed tons of girls' merchandise in the pink aisles of toy stores - all without sacrificing boy viewers.

Not only did Naughty Dog refuse, they made sure to place Ellie right in the foreground, in front of Joel, on the cover art. The Last Of Us went on to become one of the biggest critical and commercial successes of its era, and when The Last of Us Part II came to fruition, Sony had nothing to say about Ellie's face being the only other thing on the cover besides the title.

It also managed to make more money than some people probably expected — not only did it cast actresses both as The Hero and the Big Bad, but it also seemed rather surreal, and came out during the Dump Months.

Out of the Ghetto / int_297f346	comment	The Western as a result of Popularity Polynomial keeps being updated and ebbing and flowing in popularity: Stagecoach was the first western to attract the seriousness, critical attention, and commercial appeal. It was nominated for Best Picture but for a long time, it was the yardstick by which all westerns were measured against, including John Ford's later Westerns. George Stevens' Shane, as well as High Noon, became the second yardstick for westerns as a serious genre. Both movies tried to create a more psychological approach to the genre which attracted it to a broader audience than the usual B-Movie westerns. The '90s produced Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven and Kevin Costner's Dances with Wolves, both of which were 2 of the 3 Westerns to win Best Picture at the Academy Awards. They are also seen as Genre Killers, especially Unforgiven. Westerns were produced afterwards but practically no movie has had the critical and commercial success those films enjoyed.

Out of the Ghetto / int_30b255fb	comment	Supergirl was stuck in the Girl-Show Ghetto for decades. Even though she is one of the most recognizable superheroines in the world, she has never been on the same level of sales as her cousin, and her character is often disregarded and put down by people who never read her stories due to their perception of her being a "Superman with skirt/boobs", to the point that DC decided to kill her in the Crisis on Infinite Earths (in spite of her books having decent, albeit no great, sales). This situation started changing gradually since her reintroduction in 2004. She has starred in several comic-book series, cartoons, and TV shows — including her own series — and she has become a kind of household name since then.

Out of the Ghetto / int_3aa95d7a	comment	Hakuouki has a decent-sized male fanbase, despite being a Romance Game aimed at young women about The Ingenue finding love with a handsome, protective samurai. Presumably it helps that this is taking place amidst The Shinsengumi against the backdrop of the Boshin War, and both the VN and its anime adaptation pay at least as much attention to the samurai politics and warfare involved as they do to the romance. It's safe to say that Hakuouki's success paved the way for more otome games to be localized into English.

Out of the Ghetto / int_43e086ac	comment	For the Sega gamers in the early '90s who have played Phantasy Star I, the fact that the manual and intro are blunt about you're playing as the female Alis Landale isn't even brought up as an issue. While it was released two years after the first Metroid game, the heroine's gender was out in the open, and unlike many games at the time that did have female protagonists, it wasn't just an Excuse Plot in a revealing costume. Alis is a capable fighter, and any time a character objects to her coming along, they're soundly rejected. It helps that she's on a quest to explicitly kill the man in charge of murdering her brother, a plot usually reserved for macho protagonists. Heck, the most memorable characters in Phantasy Star II and Phantasy Star IV are females. While they both end up dead, they're nothing but capable party members throughout the adventure and it's treated surprisingly realistically, especially for the RPG which tends to idealize this kind of thing. It helps there's other female party members who are unharmed.

While it is a science fiction series that deals with artificial intelligence, human nature, and philosophy which encourages the viewers to pay attention, it's especially popular among female audiences due to how so many women can relate to the Hosts who struggle against abuse from the guests (both sexual and otherwise) and their quest for freedom.

Yet after Coppola's film, an instant-classic and commercial powerhouse, gangster movies and crime dramas were raised in profile and esteem, and Marlon Brando and Robert De Niro won Oscars for playing the same character Vito Corleone. The film's multiple Oscars also led many producers to give gangster movies higher budgets and production values than previously associated. Along with The Departed by Martin Scorsese, Coppola's Godfather movies are the only crime movies to ever win Best Picture, and the only franchise to boast two Best Picture Oscars.

Out of the Ghetto / int_64dd58b2	comment	As with its literary counterpart, Harry Potter broke through with a kid-skewing fantasy story that managed to pull in audiences of all ages and genders. Before then, fantasy films centered around and aimed at children typically had low budgets, undistinguished casts aside from maybe a notable actor or two who wanted a new house, and seldom had a story and world comparable to more higher-age fare. Warner Bros. was so skittish over the idea of the film falling into the ghetto that they bandied around ideas to make it palatable for American audiences, from moving the film to the U.S., aging up the characters into teenagers, making it an animated film, or making sure there was a reputable name behind the camera (Steven Spielberg emerging as a strong candidate) and in front (recent Oscar nominee Haley Joel Osment was a highly rumored name for an Americanized version). J.K. Rowling, however, vetoed their ideas and strongly insisted the film stay true to the source and its British roots. As a result, WB threw all its weight behind that focus, spending blockbuster resources, grabbing cutting-edge effects houses, a laundry list of British acting legends, legendary composer John Williams, and highly successful director Chris Columbus. Hewing close to the beloved novel and marketed with an all-out blitz, the film was a massive success, scoring the biggest opening weekend of all-time and finishing with the second-highest worldwide gross ever, even beating fellow ghetto-busting fantasy The Fellowship of the Ring at the money till. This opened up a wave of more fantasy and YA adaptations with more resources behind it, as well as kicking off one of the most profitable series in cinematic history.

Out of the Ghetto / int_69d15cc0	comment	Marvel Cinematic Universe: The MCU narrowly averts the ghetto. The ensemble films still play to The Smurfette Principle, but the women are strong enough characters to stand out on their own. The Thor franchise in particular actually really depends on female audiences. Ant-Man and the Wasp marked the MCU's first movie with a female title character, thanks to Ant-Man's Hope Van Dyne getting promoted from supporting character to co-star, and pitted a Gender Flipped Ghost as the duo's enemy. The movie went on to mark one of the few times an MCU movie series' second installment received better reviews than the first and also earned higher domestic and international box-office grosses. Captain Marvel finally featured the MCU's first solo female lead (as well as first female director, though Anna Boden split those duties with Ryan Fleck) the following year and proved to be another box-office hit, even outgrossing Wonder Woman (making over a billion dollars at the global box office) despite its titular heroine being not quite as well known. Speaking of which...

Then, when they find out many of their fans are Bronies, they decide to do some research into the show to see what makes it popular. When Kathleen joins, she is not initially impressed, and comes up with "My Little Bear: Mauling is Magic". After watching the whole thing, it turns out that they all like it.

Boys quickly learned the series had appeal for everyone, from the strong bonds between the swords, to varied character designs and personalities, to even the Fanservice elements of the swords and the series' various adaptations.

In a promo for Mass Effect: Andromeda, the voiceover by Hale is revealed at the end to be a farewell message to the expedition by Commander Shepard.

Out of the Ghetto / int_7ccb54d	comment	After roughly thirty years of struggling (as opposed to JWA for the men being established after ten), women's pro wrestling, or "Joshi," as it would come to be known, would hit the Japanese mainstream in the 1970s with The Beauty Pair of Zenjo. Zenjo would survive where previous women's enterprises had failed thanks to a boost from foreign companies such as the USA-based WWWA and AGWA but Jackie Sato and Maki Ueda would prove able to draw crowds without any foreign aid to the point Zenjo ended up keeping the WWWA and AGWA names alive after the companies themselves had died back in the USA. Joshi would remain outside of the "girl show ghetto" for over thirty years following, especially with the even more popular Crush Gals coming in the 1980s, which would in turn lead to Chigusa Nagayo founding GAEA after she and Lioness Asuka were kicked out of Zenjo after their twenty-fifth birthdays in the 1990s. GAEA successfully competed with Zenjo for ten of those years, resulting in a great market for joshi before financial mismanagement and apathetic networks unexpectedly did them in during 2005.

Many of those fears were alleviated when the film was released, helped by its setup reminiscent of The Wizard of Oz, catchy songs, and characters remaining mostly intact. Its Surprisingly Improved Sequels really helped shatter expectations with improved Character Development and animation, resulting in a sizable niche fandom that considers it a worthy addition to, if not an improvement of the series.

Series creator Stephen Holman stated that he wanted to make a show with a "tough little girl" character as there weren't enough of them leading in cartoons at the time the show was in its early stages of production. And like the rest of KaBlam!, Loopy was aimed at a gender-neutral audience. The fact that the show had a female protagonist was also not played up in the series or in the advertising; it just played out like every other Nicktoon at the time (which were either male-led or had a near-equal balance of male and female characters). The show ended up gaining just as many male fans as there were female fans as a result.

However, the studio fired back with Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, which boasted unique comic book-inspired art and mature storytelling unlike anything that had been seen in mainstream American feature animation before. The movie was so positively acclaimed that it not only singlehandedly redeemed SPA's reputation, but it served as a stark reminder of animation's boundless potential as a storytelling medium for all ages.

Her solo film, Wonder Woman, blew right past the Girl-Show Ghetto by becoming the first uncontested critical success of the DCEU, and is currently one of the highest rated superhero films of all time on Rotten Tomatoes. Financially, the film managed to top even Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice domestically despite a smaller opening weekend and the fact that Diana didn't get a boost from her more popular male heroes thanks to very strong legs.note The film managed to secure a 4x multiplier thanks to good word of mouth and superior reviews compared to its box office rivals By the end of its run, the film had a domestic box office gross above the $400 million mark, meaning that it outgrossed many DC and Marvel movies along the way, including box office titans like Iron Man 3 and Captain America: Civil War. This, in turn, paved the way for the success of the aforementioned Captain Marvel movie two years later.

Out of the Ghetto / int_989506be	comment	The Vampire Chronicles has same-sex romances and homoeroticism out the wazoo, and a bisexual main character (to be technical, vampires usually don't bother with sex, because their nature as Sense Freaks makes a great number of things immensely pleasurable and their undead nature can make some of the physical aspects of sex tricky, but they can still experience romantic love). Several of the books were bestsellers, the first three books (Interview with the Vampire, The Vampire Lestat and Queen of the Damned) are generally well-thought-of (YMMV regarding the other books) and the series had a massive influence on vampire fiction in the late 20th century and 21st century.

Out of the Ghetto / int_990dea86	comment	Moana went back to giving Disney Princess-centric movies the heroine's name in the title, and teaser trailers that featured one of the original songs. Fortunately, it still managed to break $240M domestically. Since it marks the first Disney Princess movie since The Princess and the Frog with a cast consisting mostly of performers of color, this also counts as an instance of breaking out of the Minority Show Ghetto. However, Disney didn't officially refer to Moana as a princess until years after the picture's release; she insists that Maui instead call her, "a chief's daughter."

Unfortunately Kurihara would soon start winding down to retirement but Chinese wrestler Ray and Japanese partner Leon would see their stocks rise while Karate Girl Syuri would finally get the break she'd been missing since Fighting Opera HUSTLE shutdown. Silueta, who had not done much of note in Mexico besides lose her mask, got a positive rub from being Syuri's Tag Team partner and their Puerto Rican antagonist Zeuxis surprisingly proved she could draw without a partner on a large stage.

Out of the Ghetto / int_b30ae4db	comment	Game of Thrones is a fantasy series, and when it first came out, doomsayers were running wild accusing its parent channel HBO of heading right into Network Decay and writing it off as something that would only appeal to the "nerds" (mainly males). It became one of the biggest pop culture hits of The New '10s, overtaking The Sopranos as the network's most iconic show and turning its previously obscure literary source material and author into household names overnight, and like its source material, gave credibility to the idea that fantasy wasn't just "kiddie fairy tale fare". It also gained a substantial female fanbase due to its focus on political intrigue and the three-dimensional female characters who occupied every space of the series' Grey-and-Grey Morality scale. Also helping was that costume designer Michele Clapton did a good job of taking the most attractive (to women) styles from the real-life Middle Ages and combining them. Of course, due to being fantasy, having attractive female stars, and having really cool battle scenes, it has a lot of male fans as well, some of whom are bemused to learn that girls genuinely like the show.

She-Ra was explicitly created to be the Distaff Counterpart of He-Man when it was learned that the show had a surprisingly large female audience. The end result was essentially He-Man with female lead characters and a brighter color palette, as the overall tone wasn't all that different from its predecessor. In the end, this meant it basically attracted the exact same audience that He-Man did; a girl who wasn't into He-Man probably wouldn't be into She-Ra either, while a boy who liked He-Man would usually like She-Ra too (unless scared off by the fact that it was supposed to be for girls). The 2018 reboot was successful with both genders.

Out of the Ghetto / int_bfb483af	comment	Splatoon puts heavy emphasis on the female characters. The female Inkling was designed first, with the male being an afterthought after they abandoned plans for the Inklings to be an only-women race. The first Inkling we saw was an orange one with pigtails, who has effectively become the Series Mascot. A majority of the important story NPCs (Callie, Marie, Pearl, Marina, etc.) are women, and the protagonists of single-player campaigns are usually depicted and discussed as being female in both advertisements and developer interviews. Despite this heavy focus on female characters, the first game catapulted the series into becoming one of Nintendo's most popular franchises overnight. That being said, the ghetto is zig-zagged in the CoroCoro adaptations, as while Gender Is No Object in Turf Wars and the female characters play just as prominent roles, the protagonists are male Inklings. (And even that was a near inversion in the main one's oneshot days, as it was thought to be "just another silly gag spinoff for boys" before the serialization fleshed out the cast.)

The film is essentially a comedy with the drama coming to the forefront in maybe the last fifteen minutes, and it managed to win Oscars in four of the "Big Five" categories (Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Actor).

This allowed Vickie Williams, Lola Gonzales, and Irma Aguilar to take up the torch in the late 1970s and mid-1980s, keeping women's lucha libre alive long enough for the ban to be lifted.

King's Quest VII: The Princeless Bride, which stars Princess Rosella and Queen Valanice, got a mixed reception, but the game had no trouble earning male fans as well as female fans. (On the other hand, the most poorly-received installment, King's Quest: Mask of Eternity, features a male protagonist.) Rosella and Valanice are both well-liked by the majority of the King's Quest fandom and have proven to be no less popular than Graham and Alexander.

One of them even pulls The Baby Trap on the other so he won't leave him. Anne Rice (author of the book) thought that they might not be able to make the movie (released in 1994) without making Louis a woman due to all the Homoerotic Subtext. They didn't...and the movie went on to be a commercial success (it made $223.7 million against a budget of $60 million), was generally well-received critically, ended up nominated for a bunch of awards, and even reignited somewhat fading at that point popularity of Rice's books.

Out of the Ghetto / int_ec6862b4	comment	Watchmen (2019) is a show based on an unconventional (if highly regarded) comic book, that already had a critically and commercially lukewarm film adaptation, and didn't appear to be the next big HBO crossover smash. The fact that it would also deal with incredibly touchy and controversial subjects, such as the history of race in America along with Police Brutality and discussions of Generational Trauma, also raised some eyebrows and were seen as likely isolating it to being popular mostly among audiences of color and not the "mainstream" (read: white) American audience. After early raves, ratings were through the roof and the show garnered 26 Emmy nominations, winning 11, including four in the primetime event of the show (Best Limited Series, Outstanding Actress, and Supporting Actor - Limited Series, and Outstanding Writing), more than any other show of the season. Praise was heaped upon it for its excellent cast and writing, creative cinematography, impressive special effects, scathing critiques of white supremacy and the systems of power that support it, and its frequent indulgence in the strange surrealist pulpiness of the original comic books.

You can take the viewpoint that the show is slightly shifted towards girls because Ally is just slightly more of the lead character due to Ally's music store being where the majority of the plot takes place and that it was Ally the audience was introduced to first. Not to mention, the show is more a vehicle for Ross Lynch than Laura Marano, thus why the Double Billing is not used in the opening credits. It's also notable for being Disney Channel's only live-action show with a male lead to launch since Disney XD broke off in 2009.

Said game went on to become the second bestselling PS4 exclusive game of all time and the most successful new title launch in the console's history, in addition to garnering critical acclaim. Similarly, Sony was so nervous about teenage-girl protagonist Ellie in The Last of Us, they asked Naughty Dog to remove Ellie from the box art completely in lieu of traditional, scruffy, male protagonist Joel. Not only did Naughty Dog refuse, they made sure to place Ellie right in the foreground, in front of Joel, on the cover art. The Last Of Us went on to become one of the biggest critical and commercial successes of its era, and when The Last of Us Part II came to fruition, Sony had nothing to say about Ellie's face being the only other thing on the cover besides the title.

Out of the Ghetto / int_f956ec06	comment	The reality show Total Divas. Despite centering around the female WWE employees, the show has been a hit with high ratings for its debut episode and re-runs. It appears to have plenty of male viewers too, maybe due to also featuring top WWE stars John Cena and Daniel Bryan. In fact, the success of Total Divas has had an incredible effect on the main show. In an act of corporate synergy (and something of an Author's Saving Throw to avoid alienating people who come to Raw through Total Divas), they decided to fold the story-lines of the show over onto Raw, thereby giving a large numbers of their Divas a level of depth and dimension they didn't have before. Normally, there's usually only one Divas match and storyline per show, if that (usually some type of multi-Diva tag match with little buildup to simply use as many of them as possible.) However, the Divas are now threaded through the show all up and down the card. Alongside the standard Divas Championship between AJ and Paige, there's also the storyline of the Funkadactyls imploding (seemingly pulling Natalya and Alicia Fox into its orbit), Summer Rae and Layla being hilarious villains to Fandango (especially after the Unfortunate Implications of both of them fighting over him as Women Scorned was ditched and they instead team up to be a permanent Spanner in the Works), and the feud between Stephanie McMahon and Brie Bella even closed out an episode of RAW. The women's wrestling blog Diva Dirt believes women in WWE have finally hit the promised land.

Out of the Ghetto / int_febc4d2c	comment	On paper, The Fugitive is a rather straightforward action thriller, making no overt attempts at being Oscar Bait or anything more than a popcorn-chewing suspense ride to close the summer. But because it was so well-acted and developed, critics almost unanimously praised its craftmanship, with several notables like Roger Ebert unequivocally deeming it one of the best films of the year. On top of being an expected box office smash, the film wound up with seven nominations at the Academy Awards, and netting Tommy Lee Jones a statuette for Best Supporting Actor, accolades rarely doled out for action movies.

Out of the Ghetto / int_ff9ab17f	comment	Its predecessor Star Trek: The Next Generation was a much more successful example, earning a considerable amount of acclaim from fans and critics alike during its run, and is still fondly remembered. It is still the only Star Trek series to win a Peabody Award, for the episode "The Big Goodbye".
