Satire is similar to parody. The difference is where parody exaggerates themes and tropes out of love or appreciation for a genre, person, idea etc.; satire exaggerates in order to criticize and ridicule. For example: “Superhero Movie” is a parody of superhero movies, Watchman/The Boys is a satire. One plays up style and themes for comedic effect and the other presents a criticism for the genre.
