History YMMV / HowItShouldHaveEnded

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: The ''WesternAnimation/InsideOut'', ''Film/TheWizardOfOz'', ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory3'' and ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'' episodes of the show accidentally showed up on the [=YouTube=] Kids app when it first launched, probably due to a mix-up with the HISHE Kids channel, which actually makes child-friendly content. Despite some episodes being based on family-friendly films, the series isn't exactly for kids. For example, the ''Toy Story 3'' episode ends with [[spoiler: Andy getting injured in a car crash when his toys talk to him and going mentally insane over what happened]] and a scene in the ''Wizard of Oz'' episode shows the Wicked Witch being shot with a gun.

** The ''Film/MadameWeb2024'' video features a cameo from [[Film/TheRoom2003 Johnny]] and even '''Creator/Ryan George as [[WebVideo/ScreenRantPitchMeetings Producer Guy and Screenwriter Guy]] and all!'''

* HilariousInHindsight:
** Iron Man trying to justify the murder of Obadiah Stane by reminding Superman and Batman that if you throw a criminal in jail, he'll just swear revenge on you and break out, is a twofer in that this bit of GenreBlindness takes effect in ''Iron Man 2'' when dealing with Whiplash, and the conversation Superman has with Iron Man about [[spoiler: killing your villains]] is even funnier after ''Film/ManOfSteel'' came along.
** Iron Man objected to Superman comparing Siri to JARVIS, but now JARVIS also has an [=iPhone=] app.
** How ''Film/{{Thor}}'' should have ended? At that point when he got his powers back, and he had to return to Asgard to fight against Loki... Thor looks back at his hot girlfriend, and decides to leave all behind to stay with her. Besides the other surprises and differences in context, ''Film/ThorTheDarkWorld'' ends basically that way.
** ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'' having Nick Fury quote ''Film/PulpFiction'' is even funnier after ''Captain America: The Winter Soldier'' [[spoiler:showed the Ezekiel 25:17 quote on his [[FakingTheDead "grave"]].]]
** In the "thanks for watching" section", Clark is floating in the sea with the appearance of Comicbook/{{Aquaman}}, whispering, "Justice League..." at the end. It was later confirmed that Aquaman was indeed the one who helped Clark after the oil derrick scene and there will be a ''Film/{{Justice League|2017}}'' movie in which Aquaman will appear.
** The happy ending epilogue for ''How Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan2 Should Have Ended'' jokes that Sony made a deal with Disney so Spider-Man could appear in the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse. A few months later this actually happened. And then in ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'', that specific incarnation of Peter ended up in the MCU after being displaced there.
** Speaking of ''The Amazing Spider-Man'', in ''How The Amazing Spider-Man Should Have Ended - Bonus Scene'', The Lizard delivers a LameComeback to Peter saying that ''he's'' [Peter] the one who wants to be a lizard. Two years later in ''[[ComicBook/SpiderVerse Edge of Spider-Verse #2]]'' Peter '''would''' end up becoming the Lizard in an effort to become more like his friend [[ComicBook/SpiderGwen Gwen]].
** ''How Terminator Should End'' suggests it's only a matter of time before machines wisen up and send a Terminator to kill Sarah Connor in her childhood. ''Film/TerminatorGenisys'' did exactly that.
** A parody music video with Batman singing a version Taylor Swift's "Bad Blood" called "Bat Blood", before the announcement of ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBadBlood''.
** The ''Winter Soldier'' parody ended with Superman and Batman warning the Marvel heroes about their movies' overuse of the DisneyDeath. Flash forward to ''Batman v Superman'', [[spoiler: which ends with Superman himself "dying" to stop Doomsday.]]
** ''How Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy2014 Should Have Ended'' shows Peter Quill having traded in his Walkman for an iPod prior to meeting Batman and Superman at the Super Cafe. In ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2'', after said Walkman [[spoiler:gets destroyed by his father]] he replaces it with a Zune, Microsoft's short-lived competitor to the iPod during the last few years of the TurnOfTheMillennium.
** In "How X-Men Apocalypse Should Have Ended", the version of Quicksilver played by Creator/EvanPeters saves his MCU counterpart, played by Creator/AaronTaylorJohnson, from being shot by Ultron's Quinjet. Fast-forward to ''Series/WandaVision'', and [[spoiler:a version of Quicksilver appears in Westview, and he's also played by Peters instead of Taylor-Johnson.]]
** In "How Wonder Woman Should Have Ended", Diana prevents Steve from pulling off his HeroicSacrifice by boarding the invisible jet (which she never had at this point in DCEU canon) and destroying Dr. Poison's plane herself. In ''Film/WonderWoman1984'', [[spoiler:Diana makes a jet that she and Steve are flying in invisible with magic, the same way her father Zeus hid Themyscira from the world.]]
** In "The Dead Pool" short, Palpatine predicts that Thanos will kill everyone except Ant-Man who goes back in time and teams up with Captain Marvel in the Avengers sequel. It turns out that Palps was (somewhat) right [[spoiler:when most of the newer heroes are killed (with only the original Avengers, Rhodey, Rocket, and Nebula being explicitly shown to survive) and TheStinger shows Nick Fury sending out a distress signal to Captain Marvel, who played a supporting role in Endgame.]] Then ''Film/AntManAndTheWasp'' confirms that the Quantum Realm actually can be used for time travel.
** After the ending of ''Film/{{Deadpool 2}}'', [[spoiler:Deadpool coming back in time to save Logan]] makes a lot more sense.
** In "How WesternAnimation/TheLEGOMovie Should Have Ended", Batman asks Superman if he's "jelly"[[note]]jealous[[/note]] that he was humiliatingly captured by Bad Cop while Batman helped Emmet defeat Lord Business. In ''WesternAnimation/TheLEGOMovie2TheSecondPart'', Batman asks Superman if he's "jelly" that [[spoiler:Queen Waterva Wa-Nabi is marrying Batman and not him]].
** ''How [[Film/AvengersInfinityWar Infinity War]] Should Have Ended'' ends with Thor accidentally using the Infinity Gauntlet to snap all the villains in Villain Pub out of existence. This [[spoiler:is actually what Iron Man winds up doing to Thanos and his troops]] at the end of ''Film/AvengersEndgame''.
*** Alternatively, it could also be HarsherInHindsight thanks to Tony dying from doing the snap.
** In the same episode, the second scenario where the heroes on Titan defeat Thanos is one where the latter is turned into a baby by Dr. Strange. Drax's suggestion to kill baby Thanos and the immediate reaction [[spoiler:mirrors that of what Rhodes had suggested and Banner's response]].
** Also from the ''How Avengers: Infinity War Should Have Ended'' episode, after Nebula discards the gauntlet when she's done using it to kill Thanos in the third scenario where they win, Tony calls dibs on it only to be stopped by Strange. [[spoiler:Tony ends ups being the one to use the second Infinity Gauntlet to defeat Thanos]] in ''Endgame.''
** The fifth and final scenario from ''How Avengers: Infinity War Should Have Ended'' involves Thor slicing Thanos' arm off so he can't use the Infinity Gauntlet anymore. What's the first thing Thor does to Thanos in ''Endgame?'' [[spoiler:He chops his hand off.]]
** In one scenario on the ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2'' skit, [[spoiler:Rocket is the only Guardian who is killed.]] Come ''Infinity War'', [[spoiler:he is the only surviving member of the Guardians.]]
** The ''Villain Pub'' episode centering around everyone predicting what would happen in ''Rise of Skywalker'' has many of the villains predicting Palpatine returning. [[spoiler:When it actually does happen and was heavily criticized.]]
** ''How Star Wars Revenge of the Sith Should Have Ended'' has Anakin avoiding his canon fate by throwing lava at Obi-Wan. Issue #13 of the Darth Vader comic (the one released in 2018) has Vader experiencing a vision where, instead of leaping and getting his limbs cut off, he throws Obi-Wan down in their fight as a lava burst erupts behind him.
** In ''How The Winter Soldier Should Have Ended'', Captain America uses Black Widow's face-disguising technology to pretend to be Hydra's leader and send a mass order to abort Project Insight, punctuated by whispering "Hail Hydra" to everyone who can hear. In ''Avengers: Endgame'', Cap really ''does'' avoid a fight with a squad of SHIELD-Hydra goons from before any of that happened by convincing them he's in the same boat and covertly whispering "Hail Hydra."
** The HISHE ending for ''Series/TheMandalorian'' Chapter 8 has Moff Gideon use the Darksaber to stab Mando in the chest. In Chapter 16, Mando learns that the Darksaber can't cut through pure beskar, rendering it unlikely that it could slice through his armor. ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'' fans already called it implausible that Gideon could successfully stab Mando like that, but now ''all'' fans of ''The Mandalorian'' should realize that it wouldn't work.
** One of the alternative endings to "How Ghostbusters (1984) should have ended" episode [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGY7WW4lRL0&t=107s features Ray answering Gozer's "Are you a God?" question with "Yes"]] after which they easily contain him/her with a trap. Come 2021's ''Film/GhostbustersAfterlife'' [[spoiler: and the dialogue also happens word-for-word as a BrickJoke in the movie, though it's Winston that now says the "We are all Gods here" line afterwards]]. The movie even features a sequence wherein [[spoiler: the new Ghostbusters team distracts Gozer and attempts to trap him/her inside a ghost-trap]]. As it turns out [[spoiler: a [[https://ghostbusters.fandom.com/wiki/Ghostbusters_Wiki:Paranormal_Database Class-VII]] (Demonic God Status) spectre like Gozer can't be contained with just a simple ghost-trap]].
** In ''How Spider-Man Far From Home Should Have Ended'', Tom Holland Spider-Man gets the help of other Spider-men from the multiverse; among others, Andrew Garfield Spider-Man and Tobey Maguire Spider-Man. [[spoiler: In the next movie, ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'', the latter two do show up to help Tom Holland Spider-man and the multiverse is made canon.]]
** The Raimi-Verse Spider-Man is generally portrayed as a loser ButtMonkey by HISHE. [[spoiler: The Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse takes the other way round and portrays him as the [[AlternateUniverseReedRichardsIsAwesome most well-adjusted and successful version of all three incarnations of cinematic Spider-Men]] in ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome''. Of course, it helps that the character has aged with the actor by the time of his MCU appearance.]]
** In "Villain Pub: The Imposter", a parody/homage of ''VideoGame/AmongUs'', Mystique, The Thing [[note]] a MythologyGag, since ''Among Us'' was itself partly inspired by ''Film/TheThing1982''[[/note]] and other shapeshifting villains are theorized to be the Imposter, despite the fact that this was not a feature of the game at the time of the video's release (Halloween 2020). Come October 2021, one year later, Shapeshifter would become a real in-game role where an imposter could shapeshift into another player.
** The end of the ''Film/Titanic1997'' HISHE makes an ''Film/{{Avatar}}'' joke where it's Neytiri instead of Rose that's posing for Jack during the infamous art drawing scene given that both films were directed by Creator/JamesCameron. In the ''Film/AvatarTheWayOfWater'' sequel, [[Creator/KateWinslet Rose's actress]] plays a water-Na'vi.
** [[WesternAnimation/TheLEGOBatmanMovie LEGO Batman]] appearing among the members of the Bat-Verse in ''How Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse Should Have Ended'' becomes this when ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManAcrossTheSpiderVerse'' reveals that the Spider Society also has a LEGO member with LEGO Spider-Man, and his scene is even animated in the style of the ''LEGO Movie'' franchise.
** The installment for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 has the Guardians and Superman and Batman discuss their fathers during the cafe ending, where Mantis claims that like Rocket, she never knew her father. Five years later, in the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, we find out this is untrue and Mantis **does** know her father. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, it also doubles as HarsherInHindsight, as her father is revealed to be [[AbusiveParents Ego the Living Planet.]]]]
** In ''How Godzilla vs Kong Should Have Ended'', has Kong meeting other Kongs in the Hollow Earth namely his earlier movie counterparts and the smaller Donkey Kong, come ''Film/GodzillaxKongTheNewEmpire'' and Kong does meet other members of his kind, with a smaller Kong as an ally.

** In ''How Godzilla vs Kong Should Have Ended'', has Kong meeting other Kongs in the Hollow Earth namely his part counterparts and the smaller Donkey Kong, come ''Film/GodzillaxKongTheNewEmpire'' and Kong does meet other members of his kind, with a smaller Kong as an ally.

** Holdo is hated by many in ''Film/TheLastJedi'' due to withholding information from the rebels, seemingly, for no reason. Fans rejoiced when Admiral Ackbar replaced her as the temporary leader and actually tells the rebels of Leia's intentions while simultaneously shoving Holdo aside where she is ignored by the rest of the cast.

* BaseBreakingCharacter: Either HISHE'S Batman is awesomeness personified or an obnoxious braggart with a stale catchphrase.

* RootingForTheEmpire: Quite a few were rooting for the villains against Batman in the Boss Battle episode for Villain Pub. It helps that HISHE!Batman is an incredibly obnoxious fool most of the time, and the video specifically parodies and makes fun of his "Bat-God" CrazyPrepared reputation. The Emperor getting the best of Batman is even a moment of awesome in its own right.

* MemeticMutation: "Here's a bright idea: Why don't you make sure that [logic that could be used to prevent problem from occurring]?" [[labelnote:Explanation]]A RunningGag in the Spider-Man episodes where a scientist ensures the others don't overlook a specific detail for something.[[/labelnote]]

** The Raimi-Verse Spider-Man is generally portrayed as a loser ButtMonkey by HISHE. [[spoiler: The Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse takes the other way round and portrays him as the [[AlternateReedRichardsIsAwesome most well-adjusted and successful version of all three incarnations of cinematic Spider-Men]] in ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome''. Of course, it helps that the character has aged with the actor by the time of his MCU appearance.]]

** No one expected [[spoiler: [[Characters/TheBoys2019Homelander Homelander]] from [[The Boys Series/TheBoys2019]] to appear in "The Impostor" episode.

** No one expected [[spoiler: Homelander from Series/TheBoys]] to appear in "The Impostor" episode.
