In our 20 Years of YouTube series, we’ll examine the uploads, trends, and influencers that have defined the world’s favorite video site — one year at a time.

In 2008, the internet chose between Barack Obama and John McCain. A year later, a different dichotomy divided the web: You were either on Team Edward or Team Jacob.
I’m talking, of course, about Twilight. Bella Swan’s two love interests represented two different sides of the male ethos. Edward was dapper, broody, and mysterious (and a vampire). Jacob was protective, righteous, and gallant (and a werewolf). When Twilight: New Moon — the sequel that greatly expanded Jacob’s character — was at its cultural zenith,...

A new 30-second teaser for James Gunn's highly anticipated Superman movie has come under fire for its perceived use of CG. Following a slew of complaints on social media, the director responded with a very logical explanation.
The clip, shared by Gunn on Threads, features a close-up shot of David Corenswet's Man of Steel soaring through the air faster than a speeding bullet. However, some fans were not pleased with the visual and took their grievances to the comment section. "Looks dope!! Great camera angle of Superman flying! Except there's something with his face that looks a little off. I know there's plenty of time to refine the CG," one person wrote.

Shared on to Instagram, the poster sees Superman and Lois Lane kiss while sunlight appears behind them. Tying into this, Superman writer-director and DC Studios co-head James Gunn delved into David Corenswet's Superman screen test with Rachel Brosnahan in 2024, professing at the time, "One year ago today David and Rachel screen-tested for Clark and Lois.

I can't wait for you to see them on screen in just a little over a year."

Actor Armie Hammer was on the rise when his career took a major hit in 2021. At the time, allegations of misconduct were leveled against Hammer, and offers for new roles in Hollywood films immediately dried up.
After four years, Hammer is looking to get his acting career back on the rails. He has recently been hosting a podcast, looking to show another side of himself as he takes on more acting work. Per Variety, his next role will see him playing a vigilante in a movie called The Dark Knight. While the movie happens to share a title with a beloved film directed by revered filmmaker Christopher Nolan, it is not a DC project focused on Batman... though, with Hammer in the lead, it's still starring someone who was once also cast as the popular superhero.

Superman's goodest super boi has made his official Super Cafe debut.
The latest animated short from "How It Should Have Ended" saw Krypto the Super Dog join Superman and Batman as they debate whether his role in James Gunn's Dcu film will have tragic implications. After opening with a parody of the Superman trailer where Krypto drags Superman to the cafe by his cape -- causing Batman to smugly point out Superman bleeds -- the two discuss the trailer's scenes and how they finally allow Superman to act heroic again. Despite this, Batman says he's sorry for Superman's "future loss," believing that something bad will happen to Krypto and citing Gunn's backstory for Rocket Racoon in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 as proof. The two then make a wager on whether the dog will get hurt, with Batman insisting he'll use his signature "because I'm Batman" line...

On paper, Little Demon assembled a team of all-stars both in front of and behind the camera. With the main draw coming via the addition of The Goat in Danny DeVito voicing Satan himself, he was accompanied by his daughter Lucy DeVito (Deadbeat), and Hollywood's resting b***h face in the excellent Aubrey Plaza.
Danny DeVito himself has made a successful career out of also being a voice actor. With such an iconic New Jersey disgruntled and gruff delivery coupled with DeVito's natural acting talent, the performer fit right in on guest spots in The Simpsons as Homer's estranged brother Herb.
So successful, in fact, that the voice acting side quest would have him voice his own caricature in Disney's Hercules in 1997, only continuing to this day with the actor having boasted voice gigs with some of the top animation companies at each of their respective high points.

The video pokes fun at how the live-action version (in theatres this weekend) isn’t very necessary, how the genie probably could have done a lot more good before being set free, and how things probably would have turned out fine if Aladdin had looped Jasmine into the truth sooner than later.

Director Travis Knight’s Bumblebee is easily the best Transformers movie ever made. While the franchise will continue, the producers have said there will be a “little more Bayham” in future films so it sounds like they didn’t really learn anything from what made Bumblebee so great.
At least we have Bumblebee, and the team at How It Should Have Ended decided to give it an alternate ending that that some of the fans might have preferred as it brings back the original Megatron and doesn’t want to acknowledge what Michael Bay ended up doing with the character.
There are a few other little amusing things the video points out as well that makes sense. But because the movie is still connected to the previous Transformers films, the creative team had their hands tied on a few things.

Next year’s Avengers: Endgame looks set to cram an overwhelming number of characters into the grand finale of Marvel’s Phase 4, but as the new video from the How It Should Have Ended YouTube channel aptly demonstrates, the team could’ve been a lot bigger.
The animation offers a continuation of the final scene from the film’s first trailer, in which Scott Lang pulls up to the Avengers HQ. After Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanoff buzz Ant-Man in, a whole load of new characters start showing up on their doorstep. Among the current Marvel Studios properties who join the gang are Blade, Ghost Rider, Daredevil, and Luke Cage, but it seems that Disney’s soon-to-be acquired Fox characters, including Deadpool and the X-Men, are also down for the cause. Perhaps the video’s funniest moment comes when the ‘Fantastic Three’ show up, minus the Human Torch in reference...

Like all of their videos, they just implement common sense to certain aspects of the story that would have made things so much easier for everyone. In this instance they just let Dash and Violet actually use their powers to save the day.
Of course, an episode of Hishe wouldn’t be complete without Batman and Superman, so in this video we see them hanging out with Par kids.

I actually thought the ending for Ant-Man and The Wasp was perfect for the story that it told. I really wouldn’t have changed anything. But, the team at Hishe attempt to give us an amusing alternate ending.
This latest “How It Should Have Ended” video kinda falls flat. But, it’s still amusing and fun, especially with the Superman and Batman cafe bit at the very end. That was the best part of this latest episode.
The alternate ending points out the fact that Scott Lang, Hank Pym, Hope van Dyne and Janet van Dyne completely ignore the the big news that aliens have come down to and started causing complete chaos in New York City, and instead of helping, they are spending their time conducting quantum realm science experiments.
I guess they weren’t really concerned with what was happening with the rest of the Avengers.

With $734 million and scores of positive reviews to its name, Deadpool 2 was, without question, a runaway success for both 20th Century Fox and David Leitch. But that doesn’t necessarily mean it was the perfect sequel, if such a thing even exists.
The decision to bump off (read: fridging) Vanessa, for instance, proved incredibly divisive among moviegoers, as there are those who believe Morena Baccarin’s character was reduced to one-dimensional motivator for Wade Wilson, and nothing more.
Indeed, there’s certainly a case to be made against Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick’s script, which was written alongside Wade Wilson himself, Ryan Reynolds, soon after the original Deadpool movie launched the Merc With a Mouth into the stratosphere in terms of hype and popularity.
And it’s this criticism that’s dragged back into the limelight during CinemaSins’ latest video, one which claims to identify everything wrong with Deadpool 2.

“Because let’s face it, you’re either on this hype train by now, or the Winter Soldier using Rocket Raccoon as a side-arm won’t mean shit to you.”
And that, in a nutshell, sums up the Honest Trailer for Avengers: Infinity War. Of all the post-launch analyses to emerge – think How It Should Have Ended and all of the many spoiler-filled videos from Webhead – this is by far the most scathing, as it pokes fun at just about every aspect of Infinity War and its ridiculously huge cast. Hell, it even compares Thanos, a buff bald guy looking to expand his rock mineral collection, to Hank from Breaking Bad.
A particular highlight? Screen Junkies’ commentary goes on to note that Tom Holland’s Spider-Man would seemingly rather hitch a ride into space and die than cameo in Venom, which surely ranks up there among the best superhero jokes...

Normally superheroes movies take themselves seriously enough that they’re easy targets for cracking jokes from the people behind How It Should Have Ended. But when you’re dealing with a wise-cracking, fourth wall-breaking, self-aware character liker Deadpool, you’ve gotta raise the bar a little bit. Thankfully, even though the jokes don’t land as well as those […]

In honor of Deadpool 2‘s digital debut (see the cheeky promo here), the good folks at How It Should Have Ended have turned their attention to the Merc’s second solo adventure for what is undoubtedly a hilarious, wonderfully meta video tribute.
And like all Hishe clips involving the superhero genre, this one ends with Wade Wilson rubbing shoulders not with Batman and Superman, but an entire posse of cinema’s greatest villains – think of Voldemort, the Joker and Thanos of Avengers: Infinity War.
Speaking of Marvel’s super-sized crossover, Infinity War is referenced numerous times in this particular tribute, as we see Deadpool travel back in time (and to another reality) where he finds Thor standing over the visibly wounded Thanos. Cue hilarity as a gleeful Wade Wilson regales Palpatine (or “Palps”) and his crooks about how he saved them from death by disintegration.

To date, I’ve kept my absolute disdain for Avengers: Infinity War separate from my news reporting as much as possible, but now seems like an opportune time to let the cat out of the bag. I’m sure that I’m in the minority on this one because, believe it or not, I’ve actually had people unfriend me on Facebook over my opinion regarding a movie. Seriously.
Now, I’m not here to write a manifesto detailing all of my issues with the film because that’d require my having to watch it for a second time, but the folks at How It Should Have Ended have done a fine job of illustrating any points I’d make.
In short, there were a myriad of ways that Thanos could’ve been defeated, several of which were laid out in the first video that highlighted a number of gaping plot holes.

We’ve tried to take some time off from talking about “Avengers: Infinity War.” But we just can’t stay away. Whether it’s discussing the character “deaths,” future films affected by the showdown, or Thanos’s obsession with bubbles, we’re still talking about the Marvel behemoth which is now the fourth highest grossing film of all time. But now we’ll take a respite from the intense formalities of the film and change it to something a bit more cheeky.

As the fourth highest-grossing movie of all time, it doesn’t seem like too much of an exaggeration to say that everyone has seen Avengers: Infinity War. It also seems reasonably safe to assume that everyone has got an opinion on that ending. Whether it’s down to who should have floated away on the breeze instead or who should have kicked Thanos’ purpley-pink ass, it’s divisive, emotive…and now the subject of a new How It Should Have Ended video.
As you can see in the clip above, ending number one has Doctor Strange predict 5 possible outcomes where Earth’s Mightiest Heroes will prevail. These range from Nebula stepping up and getting revenge on dear old Daddy, to Tony Stark and Pepper Potts adopting a lil’ baby Thanos after one of Strange’s spells turns the Titan into a toddler.

The latest episode of the animated web-series How It Should Have Ended has been released and it takes on the latest big screen adaptation of Stephen King's It. This is a great episode that offers us several different outcomes for the story in which characters use common sense. Then at one point while the Losers Club is confronting Pennywise the clown, Batman, Ghostbusters and The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles pop up to help them take down the evil being. Enjoy!

A new video from parody channel How It Should Have Ended gives Thanos a worthy send off, as he makes way to do battle in Avengers: Infinity War. The discussion of the fight to come inspires Thanos’ fellow villains to set up a dead pool for the heroes he will be facing… and foreshadows the unwanted arrival of Deadpool himself.
First established in 2007, How It Should Have Ended has created numerous award-winning animated parodies of many recent blockbusters as well as several classic films, all suggesting alternative endings that are much more logical than what we saw in the original film.

It’s going on five weeks since the talented folks over at How It Should Have Ended cut together an animated sketch about one of Hollywood’s biggest tentpoles – for the record, Star Wars: The Last Jedi holds that distinction – but the Hishe team is back with a new video dedicated to Justice League, Zack Snyder and Warner’s wildly ambitious blockbuster that ultimately fell flat back in November. And boy, this ‘alternate ending’ doesn’t pull any punches.
From the off, we see the Man of Steel swoop down to visit what we can only assume to be a local school, where he’s bombarded with questions about his mustache – or lack thereof. The parody video then goes on to poke fun at Justice League‘s other quirks, including the uneven dialogue, shoddy CGI and Ciarán Hinds’ mega-villain Steppenwolf, whose all-conquering masterplan was undercut by forgettable dialogue and half-baked VFX.

Batman has been becoming more musical in the last few years with his hit “Untitled Self Portrait” from The Lego Movie really hitting things off. Then there was “Who’s the (Bat)Man” from The Lego Batman Movie. Plus, there’s this gem from Justice League Unlimited. Who would’ve guessed this brooding superhero would be so musical? Well, the team at How It Should Have Ended decided Batman had at least one more song to sing, so they wrote “The Sound of Violence” which is a parody of the Simon & Garfunkel classic, “The Sound of Silence.” This is one of the greatest versions of this song that I’ve heard. It is so freaking funny. Share it with your friends and family for a good laugh.

In The Incredibles, Mr. Incredible turns down Buddy’s help which then leads Buddy to become the supervillain, Syndrome. Syndrome then goes on to hurt and potentially kill many people in his quest for revenge against Mr. Incredible. The team over at How It Should Have Ended gave this incredible movie their attention and showed what could’ve happened had Mr. Incredible teamed up with Buddy. I think my favorite part is the eyepiece that looks like a scouter from Dragon Ball Z. Do you think Mr. Incredible should’ve accepted little Buddy’s help?...

With the success Thor: Ragnarok is having I think Thor deserves to have some fun, and fun he has in this hilarious parody of Mc Hammer’s “Hammer Time”. The people at How It Should Have Ended put together some clips to help Thor sing his new hit song “Not Worthy”. After hearing this I was amazed and could not stop laughing. Let us know what songs the other heroes need to be singing.

Marvel's Spider-Man: Homecoming was well-liked by audiences both in the theater and now on Blu-Ray. Now the guys over at How It Should Have Ended are sticking it to the web-slinger in their latest animated parody.
I love how they always bring up plot holes and weak points that leave you saying, "Oh yeah, that was dumb." And they even find a perfect opportunity to rip on all the previous cinematic versions of Spider-Man, and those yet to come. Anyways, check it out below:...

In a new parody video from How It Should Have Ended and Lego animators Brotherhood Workshop we see Chirrut Imwe show off some pretty impressive martial art skills. Unlike Rogue One, we get to see a lot more of Imwe kicking imperial ass.
How it Should Have Ended says this short initially started out as a two-minute video for the South by Southwest Game Awards this spring, but it was so good they extended it to just over four minutes.
It’s a brilliantly choreographed bit of stop-motion, beginning with something pretty similar to the fight we got in Rogue One before escalating. A lot. You can watch it below:...

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story turned out to be a prequel that fractured the Star Wars fan base as many loved the movie while just as many hated the movie. One thing that just about everybody in both camps could agree on was that Chirrut Imwe is a total badass and now a new Lego parody video goes on to absurdly prove that point. Chirrut is certainly one with the Force and the Force is one with him in the new parody video that is incredibly well done.
As played by Donnie Yen, Chirrut is a human, blind from birth, who lives in Jedha City, a holy place for the Jedi, on the moon of Jedha. He seems like a wise, old preacher at first, spouting the ways of The Force, but when confronted with danger Chirrut quickly reveals himself to be a strong and skilled fighter, even...

The gang at How It Should Have Ended has released a new animated video that focuses on Wonder Woman. It offers us some funny alternate takes on certain scenes from the film that includes some amusing cameos. Then, of course, it gives us a take on how the film should have really ended, and it involved Wonder Woman's invisible jet. One thing is made clear, and that is that Steve Trevor didn't have to die! ...
