The reason Spielberg hates using Nazis as villains in his movies, with the obvious exception being *Schindler's List* is because he likes to write three-dimensional characters, and he feels like Nazis lack humanity and so he vowed after *Schindler's List* to never use them as villains again.
It's not so much that he felt Nazis were one dimensional villains but it's morally and emotionally hard to write a character known for unimaginable hatred and horrors in recent memory with relatable and understandable emotions and experiences. No one wants to watch a movie and feel empathy for a Nazi let alone relate to them on any level.
@@lobotomusprime1443Yet the US put it's Japanese citizens in concentration camps. People who live in the US, people who contribute to the US, people who fought in WW1 for the US. That's one of many atrocious deeds by the US but let's spend eternity focusing on the Nazis 🙄
It's because it would be too obvious for a filmmaker like him to do that, they expect him to do it, and directors often don't like that, so why would you.
Holy crap thank you from the bottom of my heart for covering my Iceberg, this is amazing. This was made kinda on a whim so it's pretty cluttered. I'm really grateful. A lot of this is cartoon focused cause I love animation.
As well as a narrow focus, it also doesn't really get weirder or more esoteric as it goes on. There seems to be no explanation of what the conditions are for the different level classifications either. Seems to basically just be a list of stuff next to a picture of an iceberg. Don't wanna be mean cause I can't tell how old you are and I have no intention of being cruel to children, but I think you don't really understand how the whole iceberg thing is supposed to work. If you're still young, it's fine, no need to feel discouraged. Musicians gotta start out writing bad songs before they figure out how to write good ones. But if, on the other hand, you're over 18 you might actually wanna start re-evaluating a few things.
@@Midcall Nothing. Just that it's not worth insulting a kid for being ignorant because they have a built in excuse... they haven't had time to learn much. After a certain amount of time though, naivety becomes ignorance and thereby opens people up to harsher criticism. That's my take on it anyway. Makes communicating ideas on the web a bit trickier cause in the real world you can tell a lot more about someone. When you're setting a person straight it's easy to tell if you should be gentle or harsh. Online not so easy to gauge.
Fun fact about the suite life on deck: there’s one episode in which an arcade machine in the background of a certain shot is seen running the first level of Cave Story, and as a diehard fan of that game it makes me appreciate that we got deck instead of arwin so that easter egg could happen
I agree. It's even on par with the animation for the "Hotel Transylvania" movies as well. And considering that Genndy Tartakovsky was pretty much in charge of both the cancelled Popeye movie and "Hotel T", that's really saying a lot.
Of course there was also "Can You Imagine?" as well that was also cancelled. And it's such a shame, because I would have loved to have seen that film too.
8:00 Actually, ghostbusters 3 DOES exist, just not in film form. The ghost busters video game adapts a LOT of what was in the script for 3, so that is the closest to the realization of the real ghost busters 3.
Here's maybe kind of a niche one: Bionicle was cancelled by LEGO in 2010, apparently due to the relatively complex lore being too difficult for kids to get into. As a result of this, two movies were cancelled, and the story was continued online by the main writer for the franchise. Though, the plot had to be retooled and ultimately ended on a cliffhanger with a serial killer trying to take over the world.
hahaha....little did they know 4 years later they will be watching a RU-vidr spend most of his life trying to explain the lore of a game about Chucky Cheese
@@kaylaisnothere4397 Nah, there are books, comics, movies, video games, podcasts, web serials, two wikis, a short-lived reboot with a Netflix series, and a Soulslike game coming to Steam
1:05:22 He didn't elaborate on it but Julia Vickerman, the creator of 12 Forever, had some old tumblr posts go public where she expressed interest underage boys, describing stalking them in great detail and a desire to get them alone away from their parents. Pretty crazy shlt.
52:04 An interesting note about the cancelled Zim episodes, on top of production material for the missing episodes being shared, many of the lost episodes actually had most of their voice acting recorded! The vocal performance of 7 episodes were released as an extra on the Invader Zim House DVD Box Set! I believe many scripts have been shared online too, the voice actors even did a live table reading of some lost episode at a convention. In regards to Zim, the creator of the series has an unaired pilot called Very Important House that he worked on for 3 years to pitch to Disney, but they never greenlit it. 1:05:00 Twelve Forever is tied to major drama because the creator of the series is terrible, I think during production someone else was appointed as showrunner, but still, it will probably never come back...
@@ohav3893 She admitted to being a pedophile on her personal tumblr blog around 2010. On her page, there was a post describing the time she spent at a carnival, sort of stalking this clearly underage (she assumes 14 years old) boy. She called him her muse, and talked about how attractive she thought he was, and how she wished his mother wasn't with him so she could talk to him. At the time she wrote this, she was 25. The post was even tagged "pedophile" and "pedophilia". After she was kicked off her own show for mistreating coworkers, the pedophile posts came to light again and she deleted her tumblr. A different user now has her username, with the subtitle of "(show creator whose name I forgot) is a pedophile." I haven't checked out the new page, so I dunno what's on it.
It's so weird that Glover, the first game I ever played and beat, is considered obscure, I had so much fun with it and it's too bad such a silly reason lead to cutting the sequel
It’s not. Idk why this guy used that wording as he even states that there was an issue of overproduction of cartridges of the game. I remember it being pretty heavily advertised at the time too.
This is awesome! I just wanted to point out that you left an important detail on the Hulk 2 MCU project. Universal actually owns the live action movie rights to the character, and their contract with universal expired. Basically they could use Hulk in the MCU they just couldn't make a Hulk film.
Some additional info I’d like to add, Another reason why The Spectacular Spider-Man got cancelled was because Sony sold the TV and Merch rights to Disney! And that’s why/how the Ultimate Spider-Man TV show came into existence. Sony has the rights to Spectacular and they can distribute it however they want and make as much home video releases as they want, but they can’t produce new episodes. Which makes me wonder, why they couldn’t make a movie based on the show since Sony has the movie rights to Spider-Man? In regards to “Tron: Ares”, it was supposed to be a reboot after the 3rd film was cancelled due to Tomorrowland underperforming. Also, there was a Tron series in development for Disney+, but got cancelled for unknown reasons (at least, it’s unknown to me, because I can’t clearly remember what the reasons were exactly).
The Pokémon original ending might refer to either; the first movie originally being intended as the end, showing what appears to be Ash and Misty's daughter. Or, it could be referring to the bizarre movie concept where the Pokémon cast would struggle to defeat a real dinosaur that is unearthed and goes on a rampage. Shudo was a chronic alcoholic and on medication, so that explains a lot as to why all these endings are craaaaazy.
We were supposed to see an old Ash recollecting his memories but then it shows that the whole pokemon anime was just his imagination and then he wakes up as a little kid going on a real adventure. The woman in the trailer who looks like Misty isn't actually Misty and instead was a random woman and has nothing to do with the original ending.
Dude, Making Fiends was my childhood, alongside The Mighty B and My Life as a Teenage Robot! I’m still sad that it’s not as popular, because every time I talk about to people other than my parents, my friends don’t know what I’m talking about and for YEARS I thought it was my imagination until I THINK one of my partners brought it up. I didn’t know it only had six episodes, I could’ve sworn there were more. 🤔
My life as a teenage robot was awesome! Born in 99 and I have many fond memories of that era of cartoons :) also remember chalk zone and totally spies being very good
God I was just thinking sourcebrew hasn’t posted in a while I hope he’s doing good, glad to know you were cooking up some good content the whole time 🔥GGs
Speaking of Gargoyles and Kingdom Hearts, the characters from the show were meant to have an appearance in Kingdom Hearts, but even the creator of the show doesn't know what happened.
That whole "cancelling Glover 2 because they produced too many copies of Glover 1" thing is pretty strange to me. Seems like if they produced more copies than they sold, they had a lot sitting around that they could have taken back and modified into Glover 2 carts.
@@gracekim25 yeah there were plans for the seasons 3 for the iron man show but it was cancelled because of the whole Disney thing. It was why the ending of the show was so quick with the 2 parter, loosely throwing everything together aswell as leaving some sub plots unfinished.
Another animated Lost Media was for Jeff Smith's Bone movie with Nickelodeon making the movie. This movie had some concept art which you can look online for and the reason for it being cancelled was because of some creative differences with Jeff Smith and Nickelodeon.
I think "low ratings" probably means a lack of new growth. Plenty of profitable shows with stable viewers have been canceled, so the only thing I can think of is that the shows have hit their growth cap and television stockholders being the greedy bastards that they are, cancel anything that isn't guaranteed to make them MORE profit. It's really just a side effect of the American "broad appeal" business model. Success is predicated on appealing to as many people as possible, which is why good shows get worse as they try to appeal to more people and shows that don't inherently have a broad appeal don't get picked up. This is in contrast to the business model commonly used in industries like the anime industry, where they hyper fixate on a specific niche and merchandise the hell out of the like 100 people that actually watch it.
Toy sales are also a big factor in children’s media. A show could have amazing ratings but if the toys are not selling networks don’t see the show worth it, especially those of action oriented serialized shows since they are more expensive to produce and can’t re-air random episodes as often. This was what happened with young Justice when it still aired on Cartoon Network and why networks have been moving away from action-oriented shows.
Actually, the Hong Kong Phooey Film (at 57:23 mark) apparently was/might still be in development as late as 2020. Why I mention this is because I participated in a closed preview screening of the film via my laptop some two years ago during the pandemic of all thing and I was asked several questions about the film clips/stills I just watched. I think one of them was relevance of the character? And another question was the character perpetuation a racist stereotype or slang? Granted my witness testimony may be faulty, but I would probably add some more hypothesis for why the Hong Kong Phooey Film has been in development hell/cancelled/shellved because of the relevance of the charatcer and potentially his name.
@@notsyzagts7967 Valid point. ☝️ The only people who would know this character are either Parents/Adults who watched it in syndication on Cartoon Network (and on Boomerang before 2018) back in the 1990s (when they were kids). The other interested party would know the character would be the grand parents/older adults (aka the boomers) who watched the show on TV.
One for the very bottom: in 2008 Disney approached author Terry Pratchett to make an adaptation of his novel, Mort. It was going to be an animated musical. It was cancelled quickly because they couldn't reach an agreement over rights. Given that the original book was a book for adults about the Grim Reaper, I can only assume that if Disney did adapt it, it probably would have ended up like How to Train Your Dragon, where it's only an adaptation in the fact that some of the names line up.
There was once a movie planned for the Sly Cooper franchise it released one trailer that can still be watched on RU-vid and then went radio silent until a rumor appeared that it was converted into a TV show that also never saw the light of day
Cool iceberg, man. Btw, as far as Sonic SatAM goes, there’s a fan group called “Team Sea3on” who have started animating and doing voice over work for a fan project of the same name. They released a trailer on their channel and it’s pretty good. I think it follows the script for the original season 3 and the story as it was continued in the Archie comics. They’ve even remade the intro song with Johnny Gioeli of the band Crush 40 who did a bunch of the music for Sonic’s early 3D games
1:03:22 I actually made a video on this! From what I can see the primary reason it was cancelled was that the first planned crossover was with Atlantis. Atlantis was a animated movie that was planned to have it's own spinoff show, but due to the financial failure of the movie the show was cut down to just a few episodes that were ,combined into a direct to video movie. One of the cut episodes was the Gargoyles Atlantis crossover, although it was later partially adapted into a comic. Since the first crossover never came to be and the other disney animated shows they were working on at the time had way different tones, that's probably why the universe went nowhere. I also think that there was different canon details between the Atlantis and Gargoyles universe, like the Loch Ness Monster being a robot in one show and a dinosaur in another
@@Fractorification I think Demona was active around the time Atlantis was happening, and she was the only Gargoyles character who would've made an appearance. Otherwise they'd probably just retcon it
the part with a bunch of canceled animated shows in a row hurt like hell as an animation fan, i liked 12 forever, motorcity and especially glitch techs 😢
44:58 My worst heartbreak in the past few years 😭 as a lifelong lover of the movie, finally getting that show was like a dream to me (and countless others) and then Netflix had to ruin it for us by not continuing after ending it on a cliffhanger!
You really need to add more context to the movies and shows (etc.) that you're talking about. It feels like you're grazing over things that would helpful to understand the topics covered (like basic brief synopses and further developments).
Holy crap 1 hour and 30 minutes letsss god damn goooo!!! Gonna edit when i finish watching it but im already sure its as great as always, keep the good work source your videos are really good. Edit: As expected the video was great, really sad that such interesting movies/series etc got cancelled, its always sad when media gets cancelled even if its kind of revived later on.
2:54 seeing my absolutely favorite but absolutely obscure mentioned so early with no warning truly made my day i fucking love this game. such a shame it never got officialy finished and published. i'm gonna cry both tears of joy and despair.
I remember watching a few episodes of “Making Fiends” as a child. It creeped me out but I also enjoyed it. I was surprised to find that it barely had any episodes at all. Idk, it felt like a longer series at the time.
One I think is interesting is Very Important House, a failed pilot pitched to Disney by Jenny Goldberg and Jhonen Vasquez in 2016. I believe the pilot itself is actually lost media so I'm surprised no one really talks about it
@@Bruh_Moment.. I have heard but I'm not as interested in seeing it anymore since this comment is 2 years old and I've kinda moved on to other hyperfixations and so I just don't really care to look into it. Thank you though
3:31 interesting because I heard reports the reason it was cancelled was due to the awful reviews of the PlayStation version 17:01 now with the Deadpool Manga out I kinda hope we get an anime adaptation for it 20:07 it’s just ridiculous we got Planet Sheen but not a Jimmy Neutron Season 4
the one thing i think about when it comes to canceled media is the tomb raider sequels after AOD, and the spin off where you could play as kurtis alone, the ex developers at least released now the scripts and lots of other unreleased stuff but i would have loved to see it, and maybe a version where AOD was fully finished
I remember watching the death of superman lives and i do recommend it, its one of my favorite documentaries, so insane how much of that films cancellation is documented
1:25:45 sounds a lot like the synopsis for the Pokemon Orange Islands episode "Pikachu Re-Volts" where the Pokemon are being hypnotized by Butch & Cassidy's Drowzee to revolt against their trainers. It was one of my favorite Pokemon episodes as a kid
thats really all the Talk Fez 2 gets? not even a brief mention that the games creator got into a massive public hissy fit and canceled the game out of spite.
Scooby Doo 2006 actually was a scrapped animated incarnation of Scooby doo that was to be aired after What's new Scooby doo ended. The character designs were more cartoony and the only real info on it is from an artist blog. Sorry if the lack of Clarity,
anyone know about flashforward? was a TV show cancelled after one season, while they were halfway through production on the second season and actually had the first episode finished when they were cancelled
Forgive my rant :( 24:15 In Sam and Cat. The episode where Nora returns and kidnapped Dice, Sam and Cat go to Neville for help. In the end, it was a parody of silence of the lambs. But Gibby and his head was there and he was friends with Neville and they leave. That was suppose to be the Easter egg/cross over episode for the character Neville, Gibby, and Gibby’s head. But unfortunately Nickelodeon didn’t green lit the show which was a shitty decision :\ since every show from Danwarp had two shows aside from each other. Like Zoey101 w/ DrakeNJosh; iCarly w/ Victorious. Sam&Cat w/ (Not Gibby) but instead went ahead with Game Shakers (which had continuity with Icarly, Drake and Josh and Sam and Cat) w/ Henry Danger (which was its own show, that sucked) I know this because I’m a huge fan of Danwarp productions, comedy, and creativity from “90’s are All That” to Schneider’s down fall. Game Shakers was the last show that had continuity with Zoey 101, Drake and Josh, Icarly, Victorious, Sam & Cat.
I have a very obscure bottom of the iceberg cancelled media- Hibiki’s Magic. It was a very cute manga that only had two volumes translated and published in the US. I think that the manga story may have been completed in Japanese, but I remember that one of the reasons why it didn’t get finished in English was that the manga went on hiatus for a while.
After listening to the first tier, I wrote down a bunch I could think of, though the only one from my list that was mentioned was FEZ 2. I was surprised that Amazing Spider-Man 3, Sinister 6, the Gambit movie, the Pixar film Newt, and the FOP spin-off Crash Nebula weren’t mentioned, since there were similar entries to all of those on the list. For some more obscure ones, there was an X-Men Shoujo manga that was intended to be a series but only released one issue (probably from lack of interest in X-Men being adapted into a SHOUJO of all genres, but I enjoyed it), and the planned Kuvira Backstory episode of Legend of Korra (that due to budget reasons had to be replaced by a clipshow, and was later adapted into a comic)
Act-age is another example I have of canceled media. It was truly a tragic moment for the manga readers. They say that a man really dies if forgotten, well the same thing applies to this poor manga. This greatness was both canceled and forgotten from history. Even my own memories of why was erased. I really don't wish to know what happened as I want only to remain ignorant in order for my good memories to not be tainted. Even to this day, I mourn its loss.
There is actually one last connection to the alf TV show a obscure TV movie called project alf where he is on the military base and its terrible if you dislike alf he is basically tortured the whole time smh
Amazing video man, so much research done and really entertaining! I feel like the ‘levels’ are pretty arbitrary though, like level 1 and level 10 are pretty much the same things… it doesn’t really get more interesting or obscure as levels go deeper
The cancellation of Infinity Train still hurts so fucking much... Legit one of the best written shows I have ever watched. It's a masterpiece and 8 seasons would've been wonderful. CN's decision to pull it was so fucking cruel. It was even really successful, they just didn't feel like it their goals...
To clarify - Bruce Timm and a few others that worked on Justice League: Worlds Collide did state that about 80% of the script for World’s Collide was used for Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths
Dude... I would love a grownup Lizzie McGuire show. I wanna see shows I grew up with as a tween in the 2000s but revamped for where we're at now age-wise. Do a premium streaming sequel series to that and whatever. Do it as a limited series, heck. Keep the surreal nature but more adult themes. Same casts and everything. That'd be amazing.
