The Garfield comic for November 04, 1989 was originally planned to be the beginning of a four-week story arc where Garfield searches for a second-favorite food, eventually deciding on frozen pudding pops because they make an excellent dessert. This love of pudding pops was inspired by Jim Davis's own love for the frozen treat. However, fearing the comic would not be relatable to a broad audience, Jim Davis scrapped the arc. References to this aborted arc exist throughout the comic, most notably the November 28, 2001 comic, which references pudding pops directly.

Recently, it was discovered that the Deviljho, a monster from the Monster Hunter series of games, cannot actually eat its own tail. This was assumed to be the case due to a widespread Mandela Effect. Instead, the Deviljho’s tail is eaten by the Jaggi.

The movie Muppets Most Wanted has Kermit meet his evil doppelganger named Walter. The script for the film revealed that Walter’s full name is Walter White, a nod to how he is voiced by Bryan Cranston. However, the joke also makes sense thematically; Walter White is a play on how Kermit’s full name is Kermit Green.

The appearance of the character Akuma from the Street Fighter series of games in Tekken 7 came as a shock for fans of the two series. However, Akuma’s appearance was actually showed in a post-credits scene in Tekken 6. Due to the Marvel Cinematic Universe not being started until a year later, the idea of post-credits scenes was considered, at the time, ludicrous, and thus very few people knew that Akuma was coming.

The Mario Party minigame Snow Whirled first premiered in Mario Party 6, and as such has both a day and night version. It was first thought that the only difference between the two was aesthetics, but recently it was discovered that an extremely rare event could only occur during the night variation. During this event, the character on the snowboard jumps the ramp and the player is prompted to make the character spin, as usual. However, upon landing, the character falls and lands heavily into the snow. The minigame then immediately ends, and the game ends (no matter how many turns are left) with a unique funeral scene, previously thought to have been unused.

Many people have made notice of the fact that the LEGO movie was animated in a style intended to replicate stop motion animation as if it was actually being made with real LEGOs, what is less known is that the original plan was to actually film the whole movie using real stop motion techniques. This plan was scrapped when Will Ferrel, playing the part of the elderly father that owns the LEGOs, was unable to hold each pose for sufficient time for the camera team to arrange his limbs for each successive frame. He was noted as complaining on record "I'm too old for this shit, can't we just animate it and say we did it the real way?" and so they did.

Competitive Pokemon battling website Smogon, in the Generation 1 meta, currently ranks Charizard in the NeverUsed tier. Recently, a well-regarded player disputed this ranking and proposed that it be raised to the OverUsed tier, on the basis that it hard-counters Victreebell. The ranking council, however, denied this, on the basis that Venusaur, in the UnderUsed tier, was a better-designed starter and thus should not be ranked lower than Charizard.

Wolfgang Reitherman, director of the 1973 Disney animated film Robin Hood, decided to make all of the characters anthropomorphic animals so the audience would focus on the story. Many previous Disney movies featured human characters that were considered attractive by the audience, which Reitherman thought was distracting people from the story. He believed that, by making all of the characters human-like animals, the audience would not get distracted by attractive characters. He was wrong.

Hideo Kojima, creator of the Metal Gear Solid series, has stated in an interview that he is disappointed with how many players end up playing his games. “Most people play carefully or go for 100% completion,” he explained, “but that was a trap I put in to weed out the non-gamers. The true gaming experience is when you use a tool to go frame-by-frame and perfectly beat my games in under ten minutes. That is how my games should be played; anything else is wrong.”

The video game Undertale states that monsters do not bleed, but instead turn to dust when they die. However, Deltarune, which is related to Undertale, has the character Susie, who is a monster, note that “everybody bleeds”. When questioned about this discrepancy, creator Toby Fox stated “oh for fuck’s sake I did it again. Damn it! I keep messing up! Why me!?”

The famous creature card in Magic: The Gathering known as Atog was created by a miscommunication. A designer told an artist for the game that he wanted a card that was “a dog”, but interference in the phone call made it sound like they were saying “Atog”. Not knowing what an Atog was, the artist created a creature around the word.

Toby Fox started development of the game Undertale in 1991, but after a couple years decided to pause production to work on other projects. To make sure that what he made did not go to waste, he sold what he had to the company Nintendo, who retooled his design into the game Earthbound.
