It's too confused about its own self-awareness for it to feel like a pat on the back.

Another example: the plot starts when Don Cheadle comes up with plot to digitally insert LeBron James into movies to get more viewers. This is presented as Bad and LeBron rejects it. Shortly after this, LeBron is digitally inserted into the Looney Tunes world, and the Tunes are inserted into other stuff like in that clip above. So, the thing they just told you was bad. This would be an easy self-aware dig, but the problem is: this is legitimately the most interesting and creative part of the movie. This movie sucks! A lot! And this part isn't good (actually there's a Wonder Woman segment that is unironically pretty cool and well-animated) but it's honestly the best part.

It's not that deep, dude. This movie is a total mess.

Edit: If I had to make a guess, it would be that the self-aware bits are remnants from an earlier version and when the call was made to go full corporate the writers instead just went all-in on that stuff, because it feels like all the care went into the 2D and crossover segments
