* DevelopmentHell: "The [=SuperMarioLogan=] Movie" is infamous for this. It was first planned for April 2017, which didn't become reality beyond a heavily-panned April Fool's video purporting to be the movie, but actually being an hour-long video involving Jeffy watching paint dry. After that, numerous delays were made, usually pushing it to the next month after failing to hit the new date, all of which passed without the release of the movie. Logan at first confirmed it was taking longer to film, and the crew continued trying to update on progress, before ultimately going silent by mid-2018 onward, with the crew now rarely making reference to it. In 2020, during the drama with Chilly, she claimed the movie had been quietly cancelled a year prior, but Logan avoided announcing this because he was "too scared" and was hoping the fans would just forget about it, a statement Logan denied not long after. The latest release date given is Thanksgiving 2022, over a year and a half after said announcement was made (likely because its being done from scratch thanks to the C&D), but considering Logan's track record, no one is holding their breath.

** By the end of July, Logan claimed that the movie was 75 percent completed and would be released by the end August. However, it was around this time that Lovell would take a month long absence from the channel for personal reasons. Since he played such a vital role in the channel voicing characters like Bowser and Chef Pee Pee, Logan's options were to either delay it to September or cut several scenes with his characters. He
ultimately going silent by mid-2018 onward, chose the former. However, even after Lovell came back, the September release still did not happen.
** Logan would continue to make new release dates for the film, none of which ever became a reality. By mid-2018, updates on the movie became less and less frequent,
with the crew now rarely making reference to it. Rumours began to spread among fans that the film was shelved due to issues with monetization, or if the schedule of making two videos a week was simply making production take so long. Finally, in July 2019, Logan confirmed that the movie was still in production and would be uploaded to [=SuperBowserLogan=] when it was completed.

In 2020, during the drama with Chilly, she claimed the movie had been quietly cancelled a year prior, but Logan avoided announcing this because he was "too scared" of potential backlash and was hoping the fans would just forget about it, it. Later in an interview with [=YouTuber=] [=CDusk=], she claimed that only a statement few minutes of the movie was actually filmed. Logan denied not long after. both of these claims. In his interview, Logan said that about half of the footage was fully filmed, and that he still wants to make the movie. Lance claimed that they would make an entire update video talking the movie, which never happened.
** After the C&D in February 2021, SML was barred from ever using the Mario characters again. This means that, if the film ever were to release, it is going to have to be entirely reshot with the new puppets.
The latest release date given is Thanksgiving 2022, over a year and a half after said announcement was made (likely because its being done from scratch thanks to the C&D), but made. But considering Logan's track record, no one is holding their breath.

** Logan has stated at times about how he regrets adding Jeffy to the cast, even stating in a chat with Dabhdude that he would like to go back in time in order to make sure he never creates Jeffy. Even worse, Logan knows he can't retire or kill him off due to the fact a large portion of his subscribers only watch his channel for Jeffy, and would unsubscribe, harass, and/or even send death threats if Jeffy was removed, and can't use older characters like Woody or Mama Luigi due to the videos starring them having a large dislike-to-like ratio simply because [[JustHereForGodzilla Jeffy never appeared]], meaning Logan is essentially [[MortonsFork forced to make Jeffy videos]], even if it means recycling plots.

The whole situation took a toll on the cast and the fanbase as a whole, making it all the more exhausting and confusing when Logan and Chilly seemingly made up like nothing happened in a later Chilly video, leading some to question if they ever even broke up in the first place, or faked the entire drama for views. By that point, practically everyone was ready to move on.

** In February 2021, Logan received a cease-and-desist letter from Nintendo, demanding that he stop using Nintendo characters in family-unfriendly situations. On February 13, 2021, after days of speculation by the fanbase over whether the letter was genuine or a fake sent by a disgruntled fan or Chilly, Logan confirmed that the letter did indeed come from Nintendo, who were fed-up with Logan putting their characters in family-unfriendly situations, going as far as to accuse Logan of using them to promote hate speech. Because of this, the Nintendo plushes could no longer be legally used and Logan was forced to wipe all traces of Nintendo and their characters from the SML brand, leaving only the older videos. This was taken further in March 2021, when a leaked chat between a fan and Logan on Instagram had him reveal that Nintendo also wanted all of Logan's channels taken down due to the older videos and their custom [=URL=]s, which can't be changed once they're set, still having Mario references in them. Following this, Logan moved activity once again and began remaking some of the older videos on a 4th SML channel. Furthermore, because the Mario and Rosalina puppets still look suspiciously like the characters whose plushes they replaced, Logan had to rename them "Marvin" and "Rose", while Black Yoshi has reportedly been renamed "Duggie" (some fans have suggested Toad be renamed to "Todd").
** These changes has also begun to affect the non-Nintendo characters, as the Blue M&Ms Officer also received a human counterpart for "The Mustache Problem" (though this puppet was well-received due to not falling into the UncannyValley). The most-likely explanation is that Logan has become paranoid that other companies could come after him for using their characters in adult situations or for profit.

See DevelopmentHell above being caused by a group of disgruntled fans that were reporting many videos on both channels, all led by a user named [=SkipDip=]. [=SkipDip=] stated that his motives were to force Logan to admit he had “scammed” people on Patreon and to force him to stop using Jeffy and Junior due to them being the focus of nearly every modern SML video. He claimed that by using those characters and rarely using Shrek, Black Yoshi and other older characters, Logan was "insulting" fans of the older videos and not caring for more details.them, even though Black Yoshi still appeared semi-frequently and Shrek still got a few videos per year. A massive flame war broke out as a result, as some fans actually supported [=SkipDip=]'s motives. Other independent users also mass-reported videos either to troll Logan or because they were overzealous moral guardians trying to "protect" children. As a result, It would take until August of that year for the demonetization spree to calm down.

His helmet is removed, and his shirt is flipped inside out to hide his name.

The more dirt people dig up on Logan, the more I want all of his channels gone already.


** Sometime in late June 2021, Logan announced that, in coordination with Nintendo's [=C&D=] letter, he will be deleting all of the channels that use Nintendo plushes, most famously his original [=SuperMarioLogan=] channel, now called [=SML=] Plush Show. Come their supposed deletion date, June 30th, all three channels are still up. This warranted an outcry of people who think Logan is being dishonest, scaring his viewers and tugging at their heartstrings for views. This wouldn't be the first time he did something like this either, as he pulled the same stunt a month ago, even deleting posts of his "reminders" after the deletion date passed.

** Before it was shut down, Logan's Patreon made a point of promising backers various things at each tier. However, it quickly became apparent that backers were not getting their money's worth. The promised "Early Access" to videos was a farce, as the videos were never uploaded to Patreon more than 15 minutes before being public in YouTube. Other tiers, such as the name in the description and shout-outs in videos, were rarely ever given, even though most of them would not have taken very long to do. When an outcry from backers began, Logan made numerous excuses, such as explaining the lack of shout-outs by saying the actors were "too tired" to make them after each recording. This did little to change the minds of backers, with some accusing Logan of running a scam. Ultimately, the Patreon only lasted 4 months before shutting down.

** "Jeffy's Tantrum!". The video contains a scene where Jeffy [[DriventoSuicide attempts to hang himself]]. While this is nothing out of the ordinary for SML humor, it became the controversial after a British mother complained to the media that her child had supposedly attempted to imitate this scene with a makeshift noose. This is arguably what started [[ScrewedByTheLawyers Logan's troubles with YouTube]].

After that, numerous delays were made, usually pushing it to the next month after failing to hit the new date, all of which passed without the release of the movie. Logan at first confirmed it was taking longer to film, and the crew continued trying to update on progress, before ultimately going silent by mid-2018 onward. In 2020, during the drama with Chilly, she claimed that the movie had been silently cancelled a year prior, but Logan avoided saying this because he was "too scared" and was hoping people would forget about it, a statement that was debunked by Logan not long after. To this day, the movie has no release date, though if the continued radio silence on Logan's part, the pandemic, and Nintendo's C&D are anything to go by, perhaps Chilly [[VaporWare wasn't too far off.]]

** It is widely believed among fans that the only reason Logan still used the human puppets despite the overwhelmingly negative reception they received is because the company that made them had him sign a contract promising to use them a certain number of times before certain dates.

*** Chilly hated Elaina and Lance and thus, they were both edited out of nearly every Chilly vlog they appeared in. Elaina had it worse as she wasn't allowed to film with Logan if Chilly was present, had cameras placed all over the house to watch them whenever Chilly wasn't there, and was eventually kicked out of the house by Chilly, explaining Rosalina's long absences. Chilly even went as far as to lie that Elaina was attending college out-of-state. It is believed Chilly saw Elaina as a rival for Logan's affections, and wanted her out of the picture. Once Chilly left, the former was allowed to come back as Rosalina and appear in the vlogs while the latter took over filming and uploading the vlogs on his channel.

** In February 2021, Logan received a cease-and-desist letter from Nintendo, demanding that he stop using Nintendo characters in family-unfriendly situations. On February 13, 2021, after days of speculation by the fanbase over whether the letter was genuine, Logan confirmed that the letter did indeed come from Nintendo, who were fed-up with Logan putting their characters in family-unfriendly situations, going as far as to accuse Logan of using them to promote hate speech. Because of this, the Nintendo plushes could no longer be legally used and Logan was forced to wipe all traces of Nintendo and their characters from the SML brand, leaving only the older videos. This was taken further in March 2021, when a leaked chat between a fan and Logan on Instagram had him reveal that Nintendo also wanted all of Logan's channels taken down due to the older videos and their custom [=URL=]s, which can't be changed once they're set, still having Mario references in them. Following this, Logan moved activity once again and began remaking some of the older videos on a 4th SML channel. Furthermore, because the Mario and Rosalina puppets still look suspiciously like the characters whose plushes they replaced, Logan had to rename them "Marvin" and "Rose", while Black Yoshi has reportedly been renamed "Duggie" and Bowser to "Robert". Not only that, Logan might retire in the future.
** These changes has also begun to affect the non-Nintendo characters, as the Blue M&Ms Officer also received a human counterpart for "The Mustache Problem".

** During the COVID-19 pandemic, Chris refused to go to Logan's house out of a paranoia of catching the virus (in the SML videos, it is referred to as "the cough-cough" due to [=YouTube=] demonetizing videos mentioning coronavirus, for reasons still unknown). As a result, Cody, Brooklyn T. Guy, and Judy can only appear via [=FaceTime=], and his other characters (mainly Hansel and Bully Bill) have been voiced by Lance and Lovell.

Guy would be a cop.



** In February 2021, Logan received a cease-and-desist letter from Nintendo, demanding that he stop using Nintendo characters in family-unfriendly situations. On February 13, 2021, after days of speculation by the fanbase over whether the letter was genuine, Logan confirmed that the letter did indeed come from Nintendo, who were fed-up with Logan putting their characters in family-unfriendly situations, going as far as to accuse Logan of using them to promote hate speech. Because of this, the Nintendo plushes could no longer be legally used and Logan was forced to wipe all traces of Nintendo and their characters from the SML brand, leaving only the older videos. This was taken further in March 2021, when a leaked chat between a fan and Logan on Instagram had him reveal that Nintendo also wanted all of Logan's channels taken down due to the older videos and their custom [=URL=]s, which can't be changed once they're set, still having Mario references in them. Following this, Logan moved activity once again and began remaking the older videos on a 4th SML channel. Furthermore, because the Mario and Rosalina puppets still look suspiciously like the characters whose plushes they replaced, Logan had to rename them "Marvin" and "Rose", while Black Yoshi has reportedly been renamed "Duggie" and Bowser to "Robert". Not only that, Logan might retire in the future.

* CreatorBreakdown: Logan after the late 2019 drama. In December 2019, rumors began circulating that Logan and Chilly had broken up (again) because Logan had cheated on her with Elaina while Chilly was in Tokyo with Tito. However, it was eventually revealed that Chilly cheated on Logan. The following months had revelation after revelation come out, all of which were taken with a grain of salt due to [[UnreliableNarrator most of the cast being notoriously unreliable in terms of transparency]]. The drama was referenced in multiple SML videos (one being a TakeThat at Chilly's second boyfriend; a character known as "Roy Gethard", a {{Jerkass}} who steals people's girlfriends [[ForTheEvulz just because]], and later became a ParodySue). The whole situation took a toll on the cast and the fanbase as a whole, making it all the more exhausting and confusing when Logan and Chilly seemingly made up like nothing happened in a later Chilly video. By that point, practically everyone was ready to move on.

*** Chilly hated Elaina and Lance and thus, they were both edited out of nearly every Chilly vlog they appeared in. Elaina had it worse as she wasn't allowed to film with Logan if Chilly was present, had cameras placed all over the house to watch them whenever Chilly wasn't there, and was eventually kicked out of the house by Chilly, explaining Rosalina's long absences. Chilly even went as far as to lie that Elaina was attending college out-of-state. Once Chilly left, the former was allowed to come back as Rosalina and appear in the vlogs while the latter took over filming and uploading the vlogs on his channel.
