30	* Creator/AchievementHunter has a number of LetsPlay videos that they haven't released (either yet or never will). Among them are four other parts to their ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' [=LP=] and one concerning ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering''. The ''Magic'' one is one they will never release, though, as it was a unpleasant experience for them.
31	* ''WebVideo/AldriversDevourerOfCos'': [=Moleman9000=] reveals [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9VwDvGtKmE&lc=UgxaNZXlUzwFQmNc4uN4AaABAg.9u6l5NUNIhC9u7G5TdJVMY here]] that he had some ideas that he ultimately replaced in the released video.
32	** [[Franchise/BillAndTed Ted Theodore Logan]] was only written to die at the last moment before the script was published. Originally he was planned to have survived the entire ordeal with Joan Rivers.
33	** Music/FreddieMercury was originally planned to have been killed by Joan Rivers instead of Creator/JRRTolkien but ''Series/TheLordOfTheRingsTheRingsOfPower'' was announced, allowing [=Moleman9000=] a way to kill off Tolkien.
34	** UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump was only killed off due to the controversy when the series first started. He was originally not meant to die.
35	** Out of all the BadassCrew members that first went up to stop Joan Rivers, only Creator/OprahWinfrey and UsefulNotes/AlCapone were safe from being killed off, meaning at one point [=Moleman9000=] considered killing off Franchise/HannibalLecter.
36	* ''WebVideo/ArbyNTheChief'' had a few moments that never happened:
37	** Season 3 was originally going to be a storied season that would've expected [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse the disappearances of]] [[TheScrappy Todd and Travis]] (and later Cortana), but was abandoned well into the beginning of the season itself. What eventually became of the story was the closing moments of Season 3's finale episode, ''[[BizarroEpisode King]].''
38	** Adam and Clyde of Chaos Theosis in Season 6 were originally going to be brothers as revealed in a behind-the-scenes video by Jon Graham. Since it was never brought up in the series itself, [[CanonDiscontinuity it's unknown if this fact is still true or not]].
39	** Season 7's WhamEpisode, "''Heat''" was to feature a different setup for the season. [[spoiler:Both Arbiter and Greg would know about Chief killing Cortana and would've rolled with it.]] However because Jon had a hard time trying to write the rest of the season with this premise, he instead had so that only Greg would know about it.
40	* ''Podcast/TheBrianAndJillShow'' was created after negotiations fell through to continue its predecessor morning radio show, ''The Mark & Brian Radio Program'', with Jill Whelan taking over as Brian's co-host following Mark's retirement.
41	* ''WebVideo/TheBritishRailwayStories'':
42	** Originally, the series was to be thirty episodes long, with the final episode set in the modern day and focusing on [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LNER_Peppercorn_Class_A1_60163_Tornado Tornado]].
43	** Episode 18 was originally intended to be called "Tale Of The Tay", and would have been about the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tay_Bridge_disaster Tay Bridge collapse]] on December the 28th, 1879.
44	** Sir Ralph Wedgewood was originally Sir Nigel Gresley before Simon Martin changed the character.
45	* ''Literature/ChaosFighters: Cyber Assault-The Secret Programs'' is supposed to be span eight sub-arcs, but cancelled as it was too ambitious to begin with. It's summary can be read [[http://journal-of-murazrai.xanga.com/754886379/page-102-the-backstory/ here]].
46	* Several examples abound for the various Website/ChannelAwesome shows and specials:
47	** ''WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment'':
48	*** Spoony's [[http://spoonyexperiment.com/2010/05/22/kickassia-spoony-commentary/ commentary]] for ''WebVideo/{{Kickassia}}'' reveals that during [[spoiler: the fight over who would rule Kickassia]], Spoony, who had turned into Doctor Insano and "got better", originally grabbed the hat, gave a That Guy-style speech about how pointless the fighting was -- and then put the hat on and ran off, because ''he was still Insano''. It got cut because they ran out of time to shoot it. In a related note, [=LordKat=]'s role was scaled back after Jason twisted his ankle during filming of the invasion of Molossia.
49	*** Spoony proposed a scene in which Santa Christ [[spoiler:after being resurrected]] would give Creator/JewWario a look, as if to show that he knew [=JewWario=] didn't believe in him. This was nixed pretty quickly.
50	*** [=RolloT=] has mentioned that as a tie-in to the Second Anniversary, he and [=LordKat=] wrote a skit paying {{Homage}} to ''Film/TheUsualSuspects'', with the pair of them attempting to interrogate several of the site's personalities (including Paw, who would have had the line, "What, are you guys like [[GoodCopBadCop fat cop,]] ''[[GoodCopBadCop fatter]]'' [[GoodCopBadCop cop?]]"). Chris says he still regrets that they never got the chance to do it, as the material ''was'' rather funny.
51	** ''WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic'':
52	*** Doug Walker was originally going to do an episode where he compared the old and new versions of ''Literature/TheWarOfTheWorlds''. He nixed the idea as he decided that neither of them were all that good.
53	*** The Nostalgia Critic had announced plans to review movies such as ''Drop Zone'' and ''Film/{{Newsies}}'', but he later replaced them, with one reason being that other TGWTG reviewers were going to review them. And shortly afterwards, WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick indeed reviewed ''Film/{{Newsies}}'' as part of the Dark Nella Saga.
54	*** Doug Walker was originally going to do a Nostalgia Critic review of ''Film/{{Matilda}}'' but when he first announced he would, he got so much flak he just couldn't do it. ''Matilda'' would resurface later as part of Doug's List of Movies He Hates but Everyone Else Loves in 2011. Eventually, [[WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick the Chick]] would review it.
55	*** The planned final Nostalgia Critic episode (before the series was {{Uncancelled}}) was going to be a review of ''Film/SmallSoldiers''. While Doug saw the movie and personally thought it was bad, he didn't feel there was enough material for a full review, so he reviewed ''Film/ScoobyDoo'' instead. He did eventually review ''Small Soldiers'' two years later however.
56	** ''WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall'':
57	*** Linkara was guilty of planning reviews and then replacing them (In his case "The Wanderers" #5, "ComicBook/{{Syphons}}" #1, and "Q-Unit" #1).
58	*** He scheduled the ''Comicbook/HowardTheDuck'' Christmas Special as part of his 2010 [=XMas=] series.
59	*** Originally he was going to do a review of ''Arcomics Premiere'' #1, but was replaced with one for ''TheBackstreetProject'' #1.
60	*** He swapped the reviews of ''ComicBook/TheNewGuardians'' #1 or #3 and ''ComicBook/{{Brute Force\|MarvelComics}}'' #3!
61	*** To celebrate the [[MilestoneCelebration 50th anniversary]] of ''Series/DoctorWho'', Linkara wanted to review the first Doctor Who comic ever published. However numerous factors resulted in that never happening.
62	*** Lovhaug has mentioned an idea to create a "90s Kid Video Game Review Show" in which he would [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin review video games]] made in TheNineties from 90s Kid's [[TotallyRadical unique perspective]]. So far, only one came up, and that was a gag interrupting a review if anything.
63	*** [[http://atopfourthwall.blogspot.com/2012/03/commentary-and-behind-scenes.html According to his commentary]] he had planned for [[spoiler: The Entity to appear as multiple 90s Kids speaking over each over. He also states that he originally planned to fight The Entity with a [[Series/PowerRangersLostGalaxy Quasar Saber]], but decided on TalkingTheMonsterToDeath, realizing that after all the build he had given it that Linkara killing it in a straight up fight would make him too much of a GaryStu]].
64	*** Another scrapped idea for the The Entity finale was [[spoiler: to reveal that The Entity actually wanted to become an Elder God and would journey to the city of R'lyeh, only for it to discover all the Elder Gods died of boredom long ago]].
65	*** The original plan for the "Linkara Lost" story arc would have had [[http://atopfourthwall.tumblr.com/post/30228041899 fans submit their own AT4W episodes]], but it was instead replaced with the supporting characters doing the episodes.
66	*** Lewis was approached to make a movie for WebVideo/TheUncannyValley, but had to decline because he was making an [=AT4W=] DVD.
67	*** In the "Guns and Sorcery" arc, the original reason Linkara's magic stopped working was because the Magic Gun was getting jealous of the Arsenal of Freedom.
68	*** After Holokara was defeated [[spoiler:there were plans for Jaeris to utilise it in battle with Linkara and have the two physically battle one another. However due to time constraints, due in no small part because of how big the conclusion to the storyline already was, the subplot was dropped and Jaeris just [[WhyDontYouJustShootHim shot Linkara in the back]] and stole the gun that way.]]
69	*** Harvey Finevoice was going to have his own spinoff where he reviewed [[CrisisCrossover event comics]].
70	*** In the Atop The Fourth Wall Movie, Linkara did have plans in case those who he plan to appear decided not to do the Film. If Nash had not agreed to be in the film, his role would have been given to Spoony. Had Obscurus Lupa not appeared, the Nostalgia Critic would have been given a larger role, with a side story about how the others don't really like him. However, Nineties Kid would try to open up and be supportive to the Critic.
71	*** His Patreon-sponsored review of ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan'' "Persona" was originally going to be a review of ''ComicBook/SpiderManBlackCatTheEvilThatMenDo'', but both parties agreed that it'd better to do something more fun, as opposed to the mini, controversial for [[spoiler:retconning that [[ComicBook/BlackCat Felicia]] was raped in college]].
72	*** In his review of ''Captain Electron #1'', he mentions how if he ever did a costume change, he'd want include a top hat. In the comments for the Website/YouTube video, he explains that when he did his costume change in 2014, he ran out of time to find a good top hat for the costume.
73	*** According to the Runimations on the [=YouTube=] videos Lewis mentions that the original plan to conclude Jaeris' story was for Linkara and co to arrive in his home dimension and help him overthrow the totalitarian government controlling his planet. But RealLifeWritesThePlot and Jaeris' had to be quickly written out of the show.
74	*** Originally, the in-universe reason for Linkara's move to Viga's house was going to be [[spoiler: 90 Kid's betrayal and Vice taking him, along with the various earlier security breaches, being the straw that broke the camel's back and causing Linkara to move. However, with the delays in the Sleepwalker story, it was ultimately decided on the comedic hiking his rent to $10,000 with the confrontation with 90s Kid and Vice taking him happening after the move]].
75	*** While he did eventually burn ''One More Day'', he burned it in "The Next 15 Screw Ups of [=AT4W=]" - had it not been for time constraints, he likely would've burned the original copy he used[[note]]the copy he burned was a different one; he sold the one he used for the review to a fan at a convention[[/note]].
76	*** There were going to be quite a few ways Linkara was going to defeat [[spoiler: the Entity]] at the end of "The Sleepwalker" arc. These ranged from [[spoiler: convincing the Entity to become human, the Entity being reborn so it could experience things for the first time again, and having the Entity travel back in time so it would never have to stop playing its game with Linkara]].
77	*** For his 300th episode, he was originally going to review...''ComicBook/ThreeHundred'' before settling on ''ComicBook/HolyTerror''.
78	*** For the 500th episode, [[WebVideo/NostalgiaCritic Tamara and Malcolm]] were going to appear in a future segment where they would've been fighting with each other over who should take over for the Nostalgia Critic who had died in an [[MakeItLookLikeAnAccident "accident".]] After the [=#ChangeTheChannel=] controversy which led to him leaving the site, Linkara decided to drop the idea.
79	*** The 500th episode was originally going to be a Marvel comic that he gets lots of requests for, but ultimately changed it to ''ComicBook/TheNew52FuturesEnd''. He didn't say which comic, but he stated that he may review it for the 600th episode, and in the episode itself, he explained that he chose ''Futures End'' over whatever he was originally going to do for #500 because he was overdue for something from DC for a milestone. [[https://youtu.be/331BsKu_DzA?t=1820 He later stated during one of his playthroughs for]] ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'' that the original thing he was going to review was ''ComicBook/TheCrossing'', an infamous ''Avengers'' story where it was stated Kang turned ComicBook/IronMan into a ManchurianAgent when ComicBook/{{the Avengers}} first fought him.
80	*** Had it not been for Patreon reviews, he would've included more follow-ups in 2018 - including one to ''Doom's IV'', as well as revisits to both ''ComicBook/TroubleMarvelComics''[[note]]presumably, this would've also been a follow-up to ''ComicBook/{{Marville}}'', in the same vein as ''ComicBook/BatmanOdyssey'' was also a follow-up to ''ComicBook/AllStarBatmanAndRobinTheBoyWonder''[[/note]] and the 3D California Rasins comic (both of which got pushed back into 2019).
81	** Creator/BradJones planned to do a WebVideo/KungTaiTed episode about ''Film/TheRoom2003'' until he heard Creator/TommyWiseau was taking down videos for copyright infringement (including WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic's review) so he made a Brad & Jerrid sketch where they reenact scenes from the movie.
82	** WebVideo/{{Benzaie}}'s short movie, "Students," was originally supposed to a feature length cross between ''Film/{{Clerks}}'' and Creator/TakeshiKitano's ''Kids Return''. He was only able to make the first ten minutes and an English dub.
83	** In Linkara and Iron Liz's commentary, Liz mentions that the original script for ''WebVideo/SuburbanKnights'' was much longer. One thing she mentions specifically was a female zombie named Mildred who would bite WebVideo/{{Phelous}}. This would lead to Phelous becoming progressively more zombie-like, only for the same end reveal (he was perfectly fine and was just being in character). According to Linkara, most of Mildred's role was replaced by the Good Witch of the Wood.
84	** There were ''two'' ideas for the third anniversary special: a fantasy epic, which eventually became ''WebVideo/SuburbanKnights'', and another idea called ''Ninjas vs. Pirates'' that was ultimately rejected.
85	** A few rejected ideas are mentioned in the cast commentary of ''Suburban Knights''. Among them:
86	*** Apparently there were several working titles for ''Suburban Knights'', including "Flights of Fantasy"[[note]](which appears in the chorus of the theme that plays over the closing credits)[[/note]] and "Dungeons and Critics".
87	*** ''WebVideo/TheAngryJoeShow'': Angry Joe had a line where he lampshaded how the Critic continually tricks them into showing up for his mad schemes.
88	*** Bennett had a much more prominent running gag where he would try to say something epic and bungle it.
89	*** Luke and WebVideo/BadMovieBeatdown's Film Brain had a more extensive scene, where Luke's "inners" from his ''[[WebVideo/LukeMochrieAndTheInners Film Conscience]]'' reviews came into play.
90	*** When the Critic refused to go along with Linkara's plan to write a musical number for their adventure, there was a cut scene where Linkara would call someone (possibly Andrew Lloyd Weber) and say that the Critic didn't go for it. Linkara would they say "What do you mean 'who is this'?"
91	*** Possibly the most heart warming example from "Suburban Knights", Doug almost scrapped the project do to weather and technical difficulties, and would edit it into a 'Lost in Lamoncha' style documentary. Holly rallied everyone together and convinced him to carry on. So yeah, we almost didn't get it.
92	** Way back when Channel Awesome was in its infancy and the Nostalgia Critic was their only feature, site execs Mike Michaud and Bhargav Dronamraju planned a ParanormalInvestigation series in the vein of ''Series/GhostHunters''.
93	** WebVideo/ObscurusLupa had plans to review more of Scott Shaw's Zen films after ''Max Hell Frog Warrior''. But when Shaw and his lawyers forced the video (as well as a positive retrospective on him) taken down, Lupa realized that wouldn't happen.
94	** ''WebVideo/{{Projector}}'':
95	*** Around April 2014, due to a somewhat hectic schedule and real life getting in the way, Matthew had written two reviews scripts; one for ''Film/TheOtherWoman2014'' and the other ''Film/TheQuietOnes'', but only had enough time to do one review. He eventually settled on ''The Quiet Ones'', leaving ''The Other Woman'' un-filmed [[http://filmbrainbmb.tumblr.com/post/83662043824/projector-the-other-woman#notes but did post the script online]].
96	*** Reviews were announced for both ''WesternAnimation/PostmanPatTheMovie'' and ''WesternAnimation/MoshiMonstersTheMovie'', but for whatever reason neither manifested.
97	*** He also planned on reviewing ''WesternAnimation/CaptureTheFlag'' which hadn’t had a release date yet, only for him to find out after he’d seen it that it had already had a limited US release 2 months previously which hadn’t been listed on any major film websites.
98	*** The review for ''Film/Ghostbusters2016'' originally supposed to opened with Buck discussing all the controversy surrounding the film, but he decided to cut it because he felt it started what was a fairly mixed review on a negative note, and combined with him talking about [[Film/Ghostbusters1984 the original movie]] meant the review essential had two openings.
99	** The 2014 cast pick-ups had many well-known reviewers among the rejected. Many in hindsight considered it a dodged bullet;
100	*** [[WebVideo/RebelTaxi Pan Pizza]] was picked up by TGWTG during the 2014 talent search. However he ended up missing a Skype call with the management to discuss his being added to the site, and was dropped from Channel Awesome without having uploaded a single video.
101	*** WebVideo/TheMysteriousMrEnter had applied to join Channel Awesome in the past.
102	*** Many others applied for the channel, such as Creator/MarcMues, [[Creator/JoshScorcher Josh Schorcher/The Fiery Joker/Commander Firebrand]], WebVideo/CinematicExcrement, WebVideo/TVTrash, and Webvideo/MusicalHell. They also regard that as a bullet dodged.
103	*** [[WebVideo/FeedingTheTrolls CuteFuzzyWeasel]] also apparently tried to apply, but he didn't put enough effort into applying and his content back then is an OldShame for him.
104	*** In 2009, WebVideo/PatTheNesPunk [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubJFTKUlMxc tried to apply]], but was told via email by Rob that his content wasn't good enough and to try again. Pat said that was the best he got, told Rob to "take it or leave it", and never got a response back. Considering how things ultimately fared for the site, this might have been for the better for him...
105	* Creator/JoanRivers was asked to be a guest on ''WebVideo/ComediansInCarsGettingCoffee'' in 2014, but she pulled out due to the schedule conflicting with a surgical procedure. It's entirely possible this was the surgery where she developed the complications that killed her.
106	* The first RP of ''Roleplay/DarwinsSoldiers'' was planned to feature an interdimensional battle but it was scrapped after the creator, Serris, decided that the potential for {{Narm}} outweighed the potential for [[RuleOfCool coolness]].
107	* In ''[[WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged Dragon Ball Z Kai Abridged 2]]'', they threw in Gohan [[RunningGag asking Piccolo why he didn't dodge a critical shot from Frieza]]. In the Episode Breakdown, Kaiser Neko mentions that they considered not thinking of using the line in the original series (would've been Episode 29) "the biggest missed opportunity in the entire series".
108	** Creator/LittleKuriboh had auditioned to play Captain Ginyu, but they loved his Freeza voice and asked for a second audition tape for Freeza.
109	** The abridging of ''The History of Trunks'' had the team waffling over the idea of having Gohan taking up Bulma's offer for sex, but ended up not doing it, something they were proud of.
110	*** Creator/MontyOum was their first pick to play Future Gohan, but his death prevented that.
111	** Android #17 was supposed to have a TotallyRadical voice, but it proved annoying and dropped. It was used by Cell as proof that he didn't know anything about #17
112	** The initial script for the Buu Saga would have played Mr. Satan as a ConspiracyTheorist who wanted to reveal to the world that [[CassandraTruth the alien superheroes who saved the world from Perfect Cell exist]].
113	** WebVideo/{{Markiplier}} and WebVideo/JonTron were approached to voice Broly and Paragus respectively for the ''Broly The Legendary Super Saiyan'' abridging, but both were unavailable due to their schedules.
114	** There were plans to abridge ''Anime/BojackUnbound'', but the team had underestimated how much they hated the movie and the ended up cancelling it. They admitted that if they brought it out as is, they would have had a movie pouring with frustration over the movie and it wouldn't have been funny.
115	** They initially decided to abridge the Buu Saga, but it ran into similar problems as ''Bojack'', which, combined with their fears of copyright strikes, caused them to decide to end the series altogether.
116	* Creator/TeamFourStar could have provided voices for episode 7 of ''WebAnimation/{{Ducktalez}}'', but getting in contact was very difficult.
117	-->''WHY DIDN'T YOU GET TEAMFOURSTAR TO VOICE THIS?''\
118	''They didn't return my messages.''
119	* {{WebVideo/Googlebrains}}: Disgust Destroys Fluxburgh 2 was originally going to include Keemstar as a main character rather than a cameo.
120	* Creator/HarlanEllison started a Youtube channel in 2013, after decades of being suspicious of new technology and contrarian to anything new. He had a debilitating stroke the very next year and only posted a handful of new video reviews and essays before his death, with the vast majority of uploads being short commentaries that were shown on the Sci-Fi Channel back in the 1990s.
121	* At one point, the Bad Webcomics Wiki was ''very'' close to doing a review of ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'', but it was a while before someone actually volunteered to write it, and by that time the site's members couldn't reach a consensus on whether or not the comic was bad enough to feature. If someone had stepped in sooner, God only knows what could've happened, although it's likely that the backlash would've been ''[[HePannedItNowHeSucks huge.]]''
122	* ''WebAnimation/LaceyGames'': [[https://twitter.com/ghosttundra/status/1668778716586205185 Lacey's initial design]] has her with white hair and red eyes. She also had shorter hair compared to her current design.
123	** [[https://youtu.be/dt57ZEEM7sk The behind-the-scenes video is a goldmine of unused contents]] such as [[spoiler: The storyboard version of the dining table scene is shown to be more graphic, showing Lacey's half-eaten body on the table and the pigs looking at the camera while showing their bloody grins. Unused content such as a needle and a plushie version of Lacey as inventories in the nightmare house sequence, early sprites of the pets alongside their injured sprites, earlier version of the living room, alternative version of the candle scene, and earlier version of the ending's still frame]]. Grace is also supposed to have a hand drawn sprite in the interview sequence.
124	** [[https://twitter.com/ghosttundra/status/1752020432830497224 The skinless cat was supposed to be a dog in the first draft]].
125	* Glenn Rubenstein has told people various plots that he intended to incorporate into ''WebVideo/{{lonelygirl15}}'' (such as Elizabeth Avery being the woman behind [=OpAphid=]), but he left the show due to "CreativeDifferences," taking the rights to the [=OpAphid=] characters with him.
126	* WebVideo/MarbleHornets was only planned to go till the end of the first season; originally, the final shots of Entry #26 would have had Jay attempting the escape [[BigBad the Operator]] in his car, only to have it repeatedly show up on the side of the road till he cut Jay off completely and then left his fate ambiguous. However, the creators decided to keep going afterwards, and ended up creating a whole two more seasons.
127	** Entry #37 was originally completely different; they had even completed filming and editing it. However, creator Troy Wagner felt it was weak and inconsistent with the plot at that point, so it was scrapped and replaced by what became the [[MysteriousWatcher Totheark-jacking]] enttry #37. The cut version made it onto the season two DVD as a bonus feature.
128	* ''WebAnimation/MinilifeTV'':
129	** According to [[https://twitter.com/CHRISalaises/status/1211050134659715073 this tweet]], Chris's human hands were originally going to [[spoiler:strip Goshua of his godly powers in "Life with Death"]], but the idea was dropped because it implied [[spoiler:the gods had control over Chris's hands]].
130	** According to [[https://twitter.com/CHRISalaises/status/1455077704236036098 another tweet]], [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} Sans and Papyrus]] were originally planned to make cameos in the Minilife Chronicles episode "The Vampire". Dialogue for them was written and recorded, but Chris scrapped the cameos because he thought it would be too distracting from the scene.
131	* ''WebAnimation/MurderDrones'':
132	** N was planned to be the only Disassembly Drone with clothes because he stole them from dead humans. However, the team decided to give all of them clothes to help play up their humanlike qualities.
133	** J was originally written as a male character before being gender-flipped.
134	** V was initially toy sized, but her scale was increased to a more humanlike size for obvious plot reasons.
135	** The robots were originally going to [[NoMouth lack mouths]] to make their animation easier. Additionally, the designs of the robots were different; the disassembly drones looked fairly similar to their current designs but had [[CreepyLongArms spindly limbs]], what appeared to be a holographic halo over their heads and CombatTentacles alongside their wings, the Worker Drones on the other hand, looked completely different as they were [[TinCanRobot Tin Can Robots]] with screens for faces.
136	** The "weird, eldritch shenanigans" that serves as the basis of the show's mystery subplot were originally planned to be left [[RiddleForTheAges completely unexplained]], with the true nature of the Murder Drones included as part of this. This setup, as well as the idea of Uzi's father Khan as the first season's ArcVillain, were scrapped when it was decided that exploring these eldritch elements in-depth would be more interesting.
137	* The second season of ''WebVideo/TheNewAdventuresOfCaptainS'' was cancelled in 2009. A [[http://gamexcess.net/2011/05/24/what-happened-to-captain-s/ blog post]], a [[http://www.racketboy.com/retro/2011/05/podcast-24-lets-get-shakes-with-pbc.html podcast]] and a [[http://www.pbc-productions.com/messageboard/viewtopic.php?t=1963 thread on the official forum]] reveal what it would have been like.
138	** First, in the comic that "bridged" seasons 1 and 2, Buddy would have [[HeroicSacrifice sacrificed himself]], so Captain S could take out the guy who enslaved a village. Captain S would've taken [[UpgradeArtifact Buddy's 6-button joypad]] and gone to the moon, to curb the source of the video virus. He would have discovered that [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Video Land became unstable when he killed the Game Genie]], because the Game Genie was actually one of the three guardians that made the world. Captain S would have used [[ResetButton a cheat code to make everything back to normal]], and that would have been the end of the comic.
139	** In the second season proper there would have been three villains: the first would have been a guy named Adam Jaguar, who would've become Chad Belmont's rival; the second would have been a game programmer gone insane, named Tobias; the third would have been the resurrected Game Genie. Nigel Edmund Silverman would have returned as a member of a third faction, neither good nor evil, called "The Third Party", led by the third defender of the X-Code, the Gypsy who sold the Genesis cartridge that turned Chad into Captain S. The final episodes would have been completely set in Videoland.
140	* ''ARG/TheNoedolekcinArchives'': In [[https://twitter.com/MK70016/status/1644831229156442112 this tweet]] showing off the concepts for the wardens, there was a warden named Signal, based off of a character called "Digital" from the ''WebAnimation/RoboSplaat'' miniseries, and he was supposed to be able to shapeshift into any Nickelodeon character. This warden was ultimately scrapped, with his powers being transferred to an unnamed warden who takes the form of [[Creator/NickJr Face]].
141	* LetsPlay/PartyCrashers:
142	** In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgQMkimO8eQ this livestream]], a ''VideoGame/MarioPartySuperstars'' session on a [[GameMod modded board]] called "Bowser's Unlucky Routine" was dropped due to the game crashing, leading to the group doing a ''VideoGame/PartyProject'' session instead, which would eventually become "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuFGiVr523o The best Mario Party game you've NEVER played]]".
143	** In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrfDLGzlJKE this livestream]], "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMSILDWeSGA Mario Party but you can only win through HIDDEN BLOCKS]]" was originally going to be played on Woody Woods, but was swapped to Peach's Birthday Cake early on due to having a smaller and simplier layout, making it easier to land on Blue Spaces and find Hidden Blocks.
144	** In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAWxK5IgojQ this livestream]], a ''VideoGame/PartyProject'' session was dropped due to how laggy the game got for everyone, leading to the group instead doing a second money bet session on ''VideoGame/MarioParty6'' [=CPUs=] with double the stakes as their [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7u3THzJ7Ns previous money bet session]], which would eventually become "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vk4tlLanDhY we bet money on Mario Party CPUs]]".
145	** Vernias' ''VideoGame/MarioParty'' Raid Boss session was cut short due to technical issues on his end.
146	** A planned video on ''VideoGame/{{GoldenEye 64}}'' was dropped due to the difficult controls making the game not very fun to play for the gang.
147	** In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DcB5R1BwCk this livestream]], a ''VideoGame/MarioPartySuperstars'' session where the gimmick is that they can't say certain words (similar to some of WebVideo/DougDoug[='=]s videos) was dropped due to the software not working, turning it into just a regular game of ''VideoGame/MarioParty'' that [[MissingEpisode won't be made into a video on any of their channels]]. Sophist also states that a playthrough of ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosWii'' was canceled due to the emulator they were playing on crashing.
148	* ''WebAnimation/RWBYChibi'': During RTX 2016, one fan asked if they wanted to do more [[spoiler:dead Pyrrha references]]. According to Miles Luna, they wanted to do one skit where Pyrrha gets ketchup on her and Jaune, seeing the splotch, freaks out.
149	* WebVideo/ShipwreckedComedy wanted to include Johnny Kickstarter, a character created for the ''Case of the Gilded Lily'' Kickstarter video, in the film itself, but the actor was unavailable.
150	* ''Music/SiIvaGunner''[='=]s ending vlog video was going to be a [[TheImmodestOrgasm Loud Nigra]] video, but the rips featuring the ThemeTune for ''WesternAnimation/TheNutshack'' became unexpectedly popular, so the vlog video became "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuFYGf_yKY8 the nutshack theme but the first nutshack is replaced with me ending the channel]]".
151	* Pops up from time to time in ''Roleplay/SurvivalOfTheFittest'' as a result of either an AbortedArc, handlers scrapping the idea, characters' deaths before the idea could be executed, mods disapproving, and other causes. Examples noted on the wiki include [[MalevolentMaskedMan Blood Boy]] getting a facial reconstruction in pre-game, a ''lot'' of things about Cillian Crowe that were planned but never carried out, Adam Dodd TakingTheBullet for Amanda Jones, Walter Smith being an EvilCounterpart to a character that never made it into the game, and others.
152	* There was supposed to be a season 4 of ''WebAnimation/TVTomeAdventures'', which would have tied up all loose ends, make several [[TheReveal reveals]], introduce the true BigBad, [[spoiler:Dark Eyes of Anubis]], and feature an epic conclusion battle with Alpha. Naturally, [[ScheduleSlip the creator, Chris Niosi, had to go to college before that could happen]], and so the series was left with an uneven 73 episodes instead of the planned 100. When Niosi finally got out of college, he was no longer in touch with the people he worked with and [[TheRemake just redid the whole thing]].
153	* ''WebVideo/{{Underdogs}}'': According to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHU9_qIYJXc&t=215s this video]], a video on ''VideoGame/{{Overcooked}}'' was recorded, but the footage was lost before the video could be released.
154	* ''WebAnimation/WackyGameJokez4Kidz'' ends on a WhamLine at the conclusion of Season 1. Season 2 and the series in general, however, had been cancelled. Creator/MaxGilardi had been kind enough to post what would have been the plot layout though, which can be read [[http://hotdiggedydemon.com/post/54865765857/i-know-that-you-dont-want-to-continue-wgj4k-but here]].
155	* ''ARG/WelcomeHomeClownIllustrations'': [[https://twitter.com/_PartyCoffin_/status/1008180462815068162 Early concept art]] showed a bird named "Sunny/Sonny" that was removed circa 2020 for reasons unknown.
156	* Website/YouTube was originally conceived of as a ''[[http://pausestoprewind.com/2009/10/youtube-a-dating-site/ dating site]]''. Indeed, the site was originally called "[[http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/2006-10-11-youtube-karim_x.htm Tune In Hook Up]]", and would have essentially been a video version of [=HotOrNot.com=] (the original site layout was also designed with this in mind). The site creators redeveloped the site, however, and launched it in 2005...and history was made.
