->''"Sometimes movies don't finish the way we'd like"''

''How It Should Have Ended'' is an Internet parody series depicting alternate endings for popular movies. It was started by Daniel Baxter and Tommy Watson, featuring Tina Alexander. The episodes are hand drawings given animation, and augmented with special effects and music. Each features an original "ending" that ranges from crazy awesome crossovers, to ridiculous and funny developments, to deconstructing it by [[WhyDontYaJustShootHim simply shooting the villain]] or [[TakeAThirdOption taking a third, sensible action]]. It also hosts featurettes such as "Surviving an Alien Invasion" and comics.

The site [[http://www.howitshouldhaveended.com/ can be found here]], and their YouTube channel is [[http://www.youtube.com/user/HISHEdotcom here]].

Now has a [[ShoutOut/HowItShouldHaveEnded Shout-Out]] page.

-->"Can you imagine what it would've been like if we had walked the entire way"
-->([[EverybodyLaughsEnding Everybody starts laughing]])
-->"It's funny because it's extremely far."
* DownerEnding:
** Since a Munchkin killed the Wicked Witch before Dorothy took her journey through Oz, she went home early, and never took the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion to have their desires granted by the Wizard.
** Ripley's decision to send the alien through the airlock led to the deaths of her, Newt, and Hicks.
** One of the segments in ''Ghostbusters'' ends with the Ghostbusters dying after trying to cross the streams.
** Kirk and the ''Enterprise'' crew decide to just let themselves get sucked by the black hole. [[spoiler: They end up in the ''StarWars'' universe, and get immediately vaporized by Darth Vader]].

* FridgeLogic: [[invoked]] They often show more common sense or realistic ways for the movies to have ended invoking this trope.

* GenreSavvy: Spiderman in his final battle with Venom knows full well [[CharacterShield that he won't die]].
** Six hears Carter's inspirational opening, [[TemptingFate heavily tempting their fate]], and knows immediately how each of the members will die. [[spoiler: Then knows that he's a dead man too if he lingers with these guys and runs for the hills]].
* GilliganCut: From [[StarWars Darth Vader]] anticipating the joy his long-lost son will feel when they meet, to Luke Skywalker's BigNo.

* GroinAttack: The easy way to defeat [[TexasChainsawMassacre chainsaw guys from Texas]].
* TheGuardsMustBeCrazy: Pretty much what the ''AssassinsCreed'' parody boils down to.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger Captain America]] is determined to invoke this, even though there are other and better options available to him.
* HilariousOuttakes: "A Look Back at ''ItsAWonderfulLife''"

* ILoveTheSmellOfXInTheMorning: Quaritch in ''Avatar'' saying he loves the smell of CGI in the morning.
* ImAManICantHelpIt: HISHE's interpretation of Arthur, in ''Film/{{Inception}}''.
* InNameOnly: Lampshaded at the end of ''Dead Man's Chest'', when Ragetti exclaims, "This ain't anything like the ride at [[DisneyThemeParks Disney World]]!"
* KillEmAll: ''GhostBusters'' and ''JurassicPark''.
* TheJimmyHartVersion: Any time you hear an iconic theme in this series it won't sound ''exactly'' like the original, because of copyright rules.
* [[LeapAndFire Leap And Slash]]: In ''Harry Potter'', Neville decapitates Nagini while flying sideways through the air and yelling, "[[{{Badass}} I'm awesoooooome!]]"
* LensFlare: Parodied in ''Star Trek''.
-->'''Kirk:''' Computer, I want you to shut down all the lens flare generators.
-->'''Spock:''' Fascinating, I was unaware that we had that.
-->'''Kirk:''' It's nice, right? I mean, who designs a starship where lights shine right in your eye from virtually every angle!
* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters AndZoidberg: "Ocean's 40".
--> TomHanks, BillMurray, LeonardoDiCaprio, SeanConnery... Neil Diamond, [[{{Transformers}} Optimus Prime]], GeorgeLucas, ChuckNorris... and JuliaRoberts.
* MorganFreeman: Pops in as [[BruceAlmighty God]], at the end of a list of Gods [[GodOfWar Kratos]] plans to kill[[hottip:*: Also on this list were [[EgyptianMythology Anubis]], {{Diablo}}, {{LRonHubbard}}, {{Okami}}, [[MortalKombat Raiden]], [[GhostBusters Gozer]], [[CthulhuMythos Cthulhu]], and the {{Flying Spaghetti Monster}} ]], but is spared just because he's '''MORGAN FREEMAN'''
* MayflyDecemberRomance: Points out that without transforming Bella from ''{{Twilight}}'' into vampire, in 60 years or so Bella would be an old lady whilst Edward was still forever young.
* {{Narm}}: Invoked [[PlayedForLaughs intentionally]] in ''{{Film/Beowulf}}''.
** Also pokes fun at Tobey Maguire's narmy crying in ''{{Film/Spider-Man}} 3''.
** Superman reckons that the new stage-voice in ''{{The Dark Knight}}'' is like Batman gargling marbles.
* NotWearingPants: In ''Inception''.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Apparently the reason GeorgeLucas felt less willing than StevenSpielberg to apologize for ''Indiana Jones 4''.
* OverlyLongGag: The ''{{Inception}}'' clip from the Oscars video.
* OverlyPolitePals: in ''TopGun''.
* PrettyLittleHeadshots: When [[spoiler:Snape shoots Voldemort]] in ''Harry Potter''.
* RealityEnsues: In ''[=~2012~=]''.
* RealityIsUnrealistic: In ''Captain America'', Armin Zola questions the Red Skull why they should label their bombs in English when they are German. The words written on the bombs were names of US cities: New York, Chicago, etc. These names are written the same way in both English and German.
* RedShirt: Parodied in ''{{Film/Star Trek}}'', when Kirk orders all red shirts on board the Enterprise to be jettisoned to lighten the weight of the ship. Scotty takes time to put on a different shirt before fulfilling the order.
** And again in ''HaloReach'', where after his big TemptingFate speech, Carter hands Six a red shirt with the ONI logo on it.
* RhymesOnADime: The Munchkins.

* ShoutOut: [[ShoutOut/HowItShouldHaveEnded This page]]
* SmugSuper: Superman is ''very'' fond of lording all his superpowers -- and the awesome things they enable him to do -- over Batman.
** Iron Man in spades, his reply to Batman telling him he shouldn't have revealed his identity.
---> "Why not? Cause I did... and I'm awesome! So... in your face!"
** Batman gets a chance to have his own back in ''TheDarkKnight'':
-->'''Superman''': But dude, you know what I would've done?
-->'''Batman''': Oh, I don't know, probably just-
-->'''Superman and Batman simultaneously''': ''Fly really fast, saving everyone from the bullets and explosions!''
-->'''Superman''': Exactly!
-->'''Batman''': Yeah, well, I can't do those things. [[ShutUpHannibal Because I'm not a super-bulletproof alien from another planet that can defy gravity]]. But you know what I ''can'' do?
-->'''Superman''': What's that?
-->'''Batman''': ''Make an incredibly awesome movie!'' ...You know why?
-->'''Superman''': [Resigned] Because you're Bat-
-->'''Batman''': '''[[Quotes/{{Batman}} Because I'm Batman]]'''!
* StolenMacGuffinReveal: In the ''Film/SherlockHolmes 2'' parody, Holmes and Moriarty try to one up each other in this regard with an air tank and life vest, respectively.
* StupidSacrifice: Captain America's HeroicSacrifice is parodied to be this in HISHE. Why couldn't Cap turn the plane around, circle for a while, find warmer water to crash land into, fly one of the bomb-planes as an escape, or try to find some other way to avoid crashing into freezing arctic water? The film proper never explains, and HISHE has a ''field day'' with it.
* TemptingFate: Kat refuses to put on her helmet in the ''HaloReach'' short, and Jorge talks abut "going down with the ship" while playing with a miniature Covenant Corvette toy.

** In ''Revenge Of The Fallen'', they just use the Rail Gun to kill the Fallen.
** In ''The Dark Knight'', this becomes "Why Don't You Just Run Him Over":
-->'''Superman''': Woah, hold on a second -- you ''hit'' him?\\
'''Batman''': Yep.\\
'''Superman''': You hit ''the Joker''.\\
'''Batman''': Uh-huh.\\
'''Superman''': You ''ran over a human being''.\\
'''Batman''': Sure did.\\
'''Superman''': But... what about [[ThouShaltNotKill your rule]]?!\\
'''Batman''': ''[Smugly]'' Didn't kill 'im.\\

'''Scientist 2:''' Fine. (stops experiment) ...That is a big bird down there. Kinda looks like a guy. Oh, wait, it ''is'' a guy down there!
* WritersCannotDoMath: [[spoiler:When Snape goes back in time with the Time-Turner to kill Voldemort, he turns it over about 262,000 times, which, at an hour per turn, should put him back about thirty years - nowhere near enough to get Tom at the orphanage.]]
