Marge Simpson was suppose to have Bunny Ears hidden in her blue hair (it appears in the arcade game). Homer Simpson was suppose to secretly be Krusty the Crown. The joke being that Bart respected Krusty more than his own father.
Gwen from Ben10 was suppose to be Ben's unrelated classmate.
There was suppose to be a Gargoyles/Atlantis crossover. Apparently it's audio was recorded but never animated.
The same canister that hit Daredevil in the face created the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Peter Parker was molested as a kid.
The JLU episode "Double Date" was originally suppose to be about Barbara Gordon breaking her leg and becoming Oracle.
Hunter Cruz
Katie Rice actually was on there, though. There was a video of her with John K where he was being a real creep that was part of the DVD on Youtube, but it was taken down.
Juan Thomas
There was almost an Alien Cartoon and Jurrasic Park Cartoon.
Jeremiah Brooks
The toyline that would have went along with the cartoon went into production.
Gremlins also nearly got an animated series that even had a pilot that has never been released but the box office performance of Gremlins II killed it.
There was also a pilot based on the standalone Space Usagi volume of Usagi Yojimbo; unl;ike the Gremlins pilot, part of all of it is available online.

>"Another one that really stuck with me was this girl who survived Columbine. See, "Wings of the Dope," the episode where Luanne's boyfriend comes back as an angel, aired two weeks after the shooting. About a month after that, I got a letter from a girl who was there and hid somewhere in the school when it was all going on. She said the first thing she was gonna do if she survived was tell a friend of hers she was in love with him. She never did. He ended up being one of the kids responsible for it. So you can imagine how - you know, to her, it felt wrong to grieve almost, and she bottled it up. But she saw that episode and Buckley walking away at the end and something just let her finally break down and greive and miss the guy. I remember she quoted Luanne - 'I wonder if he's guardianing some other girl,' or something along that line, because she never had the guts to tell the kid. That really gets to people at Comic Con."
Michael Garcia
>She said the first thing she was gonna do if she survived was tell a friend of hers she was in love with him. She never did. He ended up being one of the kids responsible for it There's a dual irony here, not in that she loved the guy behind the crime. The idea had she said it sooner he might have reconsidered No I'm not saying he did it because he was a kissless virgin, I'm saying if he had some stake in losing someone or their affection he may have at the very least hesitated or altered his decision making. Perhaps I should be focusing on the emotion of the anecdote, but I find observing the butterfly effect of something as fleeting as emotion more interesting. How much of our history could have been changed with only three words?
Jacob Gutierrez
>Homer Simpson was suppose to secretly be Krusty the Crown. The joke being that Bart respected Krusty more than his own father
I remember that the joke was supposed to be the fact that Bart respected a Clown ,that looked identical to his dad, more than he respected Homer. I've never heard that Homer was supposed to be Krusty early on.

Sebastian Campbell
There is nothing better than listening to voice actors misuse well known voices
Brandon Young
I think I need to see more concept art pictures of the Alvin adult movie.
Y'know, for confirmation and research and stuff...
I'd heard of the general idea of a Chipmunks/Chippetes-as-adults movie but the idea of it being a Bakshi-inspired sex romp seems kind of unlikely.
Dylan Price

This reminds me of a cool fact. The Viz Media editor at the time managed to make Tazuki Takahashi (the creator of Yugi-Oh) establish a long distance relationship with his main inspiration, Mike Mignola. During one of the tankobon releases in the United States, they dedicated a page towards an art trade made by Mike and Tazuki.

I can only wonder how the people who used to talk shit about Cullen's Prime being "too stiff and emotionless" must feel like fucking idiots for thinking all heroic leaders needed to be loud and obnoxious badasses.

Eh, Kojima's craziness before MGS2 and 3 wasn't all that different. It was strange, but still had a level of restraint to it. Sons of Liberty is where shit started getting really weird with the metaphorical shit and faux technobabble.

On the wikipedia. Mentions how Zak (then a 9-year old named Francis) was part of a cryptid anti-detective team as their mascot and their job was to keep cryptids a mystery, but the villain Monseiur Dodo was trying to oust everyone and destroy them.

Jason King
I thought it was a lizard since it was a while since reading the preproduction stuff. Still, it was interesting that the show would have been something like Hardy Boys with mythocal creatures trying to hide themselves instead of the modern Johnny Quest one we wound up with.
Austin Ross
That premise sounds like a lot of fun. I really liked what we got, but Argost was by far the best thing about it. I don't think there's ever been a better villain in a cartoon. I like him even more than Aku.
