Free Guy

Living as a NPC in a video game can get pretty monotonous. You literally do the exact same stuff, every single day, forever and ever. So the fact that in 2021, Guy, a character in the game Free City, became self-aware and got super powerful—eventually falling in love and saving every single person in his game—is a pretty kickass turn of events. Bonus that he got to use powers from both the Marvel and Star Wars universes. You can see all this in the movie named after him, Free Guy.
