00:00Eight years ago at the World Cup Finals, the MetaBot from Team Japan turned the stadium into a sea of fire.
00:06Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're looking at some of the surprise turning points and revelations in cartoons that made our jaws hit the floor.
00:13Needless to say, there will be major spoilers ahead.
00:18Number 50, Sky and Brandon, Winx Club.
00:25During the first few episodes, love is in the air for Bloom and Stella.
00:30Stella has her eyes set on Sky, the Crown Prince of Araklion, while Bloom takes an interest in Sky's loyal squire, Brandon.
00:37At least, that's who they claim to be.
00:45Following a misunderstanding between Bloom and Princess Diaspero, we find out that Brandon and Sky had switched identities before the series.
00:53Skye! Brandon!
00:56What do you mean, Brandon? This is Sky, Prince of Araklion, successor to the throne and my future husband!
01:01Their reasoning differs depending on the dub.
01:04The Four Kids dub says that Sky changed his name to have a normal life, while the original dub makes the swap to protect Sky's family from assassins.
01:12Add to it, Diaspero was Sky's arranged fiancé, giving him and Bloom's love story an awkward, rocky start.
01:18There's no other way. There's nothing else I can do.
01:22Number 49, The Extinct World. Adventure Time, Fiona and Cake.
01:27Prismo the Wishmaster is the living embodiment of be careful what you wish for.
01:31The Lich wished for the extinction of all life.
01:34Yeah, he wished for the extinction of all life and I did it.
01:37I guess I changed his timeline or something.
01:38What?!
01:39And Finn's wish inadvertently created the Farm World timeline.
01:42I wish...
01:44The Lich...
01:47Never...
01:48Even ever existed!
01:50But Jake's wish undid the Lich's, so happy ending, right?
01:54Not exactly.
01:56Years later, in Fiona and Cake's spinoff, the two find themselves in the extinct world.
02:00An alternate world where all life and oo was extinguished.
02:04This means that Prismo created another world where the Lich got his wish after all.
02:08Now, the decayed king can only sit in solitude, waiting for a purpose.
02:13In olden days, I would have rewarded your insolence with death a thousandfold.
02:24It could have been worse.
02:26Jake could have wasted his wish on a sandwich.
02:29Number 48, The Ten Days of Darkness. Metabots.
02:33While no one in the show fully figured it out,
02:35we know about Henry's double life as the Phantom Renegade and Space Metafighter X,
02:40the metal-stealing vigilante and strongest metafighter in Japan.
02:44Go ahead! Fire all the rounds you wish.
02:46Without spirit, none will have any effect.
02:48Yeah, I feel the effect of this!
02:53Ha ha ha!
02:54An attack that lacks spirit has no more effect than a mosquito bite.
02:57However, it turns out he has one more name.
03:00Hikaru Agata.
03:01Eight years ago, during the World Roe Battle Championship,
03:04Hikaru inadvertently caused the Ten Days of Darkness,
03:08a bleak period where all the Metabots in the world ran amok,
03:11devastating everything in their path.
03:13And the Metabot that triggered the event was MetaB.
03:16The Metabots rioted for ten more days, and the tournament was cancelled.
03:20My ex-friend Hikaru Agata was the MetaFighter.
03:23The Metabot, a KBT type.
03:26Metabee.
03:28Metabee?
03:29Since that day, Hikaru became the Phantom,
03:32stealing rare medals to prevent the tragic event from happening again.
03:36Unfortunately, interference from the rubber Robo Gang
03:39ensured that another ten days of darkness was inevitable.
03:42Phantom Renegade!
03:43Renegade!
03:44Stop this match!
03:46If you don't, the world will be plunged into another ten days of darkness!
03:51Number 47.
03:52Chase's Dissension.
03:53Shaolin Showdown.
03:54Since he slithered his way into Season 2,
03:57Chase Young has been one of the deadliest foes the Shaolin Warriors have ever faced.
04:02He's a merciless, conniving tyrant who turns fallen warriors into his army of jungle cats.
04:07I've been itching to scrap all day.
04:10He even nearly succeeded in turning Omi to the dark side.
04:22This wasn't always the case.
04:24Long ago, he was on the side of good and helped seal the evil Woo-Ya away.
04:27However, Chase was tricked by Hannibal Roy Bean into joining the dark side,
04:40selling his soul for greater power.
04:42Omi still believes there's good inside Chase,
04:44but he may have to accept that the fallen warrior is too far gone.
04:48Drink the Lao-Mang Loon Soup, ancient potion of the dragon,
04:53and join me forever on the dark side.
04:56Perhaps you'd like some time to think it over?
04:58I'm sure you'll make the right decision.
05:01Number 46.
05:02Zack is Kerr.
05:03The Secret Saturdays.
05:05Legends tell of an ancient evil cryptid named Kerr,
05:08the very first dragon with the ability to control other creatures.
05:12Throughout Season 1, the Saturdays searched for Kerr
05:15to prevent its dark abilities from being exploited.
05:17It turns out that Kerr was closer than any of them realized.
05:21Come on!
05:22Your power versus mine!
05:25By the end of the season,
05:27Zack is revealed to be the reincarnation of Kerr.
05:30After its seal was broken,
05:31the cryptid spirit had latched onto Zack before he was even born.
05:37Mom?
05:38Zack is Kerr.
05:40The source of Zack's cryptid-influencing powers is finally revealed.
05:44However, it also paints a massive target on the Saturdays' backs
05:48as they deal with the fallout of this revelation.
05:57Number 45.
05:58The Nanite Event.
05:59Generator Rex.
06:01Many years ago,
06:02a cataclysmic event known as the Nanite Event
06:05caused an outbreak of nanites to inhabit every living being on Earth.
06:09Many ended up mutating into hybrids called Evos.
06:12Our hero Rex uses his newfound powers to subdue the more monstrous Evos.
06:27You're welcome.
06:28However, we later learn that Rex's involvement with the Nanite Event
06:31runs deeper than even he knew.
06:33It's revealed that his brother Caesar was majorly involved with the Nanite Project,
06:38and he helped infuse Rex with them to save his life.
06:40We tried to stop them, and you were hurt.
06:43The only way to save your life was an infusion of nanites.
06:46It was risky, but it worked.
06:48We thought that would be enough to stop the others,
06:51make them see the right path.
06:52He later sabotaged the project to keep it from falling into the wrong hands.
06:56But the result cost their parents their lives,
06:59and inadvertently caused the uprising of mutated Evos.
07:02Mom and Dad were in the reactor.
07:04As for me, I managed to escape in my lab.
07:07The series finale finds Hilda journeying into the mysterious fairy mound in search of her father.
07:18Once inside, she finds much more than she bargained for.
07:22A jaw-dropping look into her family's history.
07:24It turns out that she and her mother Joanna are part fairy.
07:27So, what you're saying is, I am a fairy!
07:33When Joanna was a child, she got sick,
07:35and her parents made a deal with the fairy mound to cure her.
07:38Unfortunately, they ended up having to leave Joanna alone in the human world,
07:42with no memory of their sacrifice,
07:44while they gave themselves to the fairy mound.
07:46In ten years, I will return, and you will give the girl to me.
07:54No!
07:56We can't!
07:59That is the bargain.
08:02This not only explains Hilda's blue hair,
08:04but also Joanna's fear of magical creatures,
08:07having lost most of her childhood to them.
08:09Against all our better judgment,
08:12we agreed.
08:14Number 43.
08:16Caleb's mother, Witch.
08:18Before Witch became the heroes of Kandrakar,
08:20there was another team of guardians.
08:22Their leader, Nerissa, became power-hungry,
08:25and was imprisoned for killing one of her closest friends.
08:28Devastated, Nerissa fled.
08:30But I imprisoned her,
08:32hoping she would redeem herself by facing her guilt.
08:35I fear I may have erred.
08:37When she escaped, she bided her time,
08:40disguising herself to pave the way for her future revenge.
08:43During her masquerade,
08:44she fell in love with a rebel named Julian,
08:46and together they had a son,
08:48the current guardian's closest ally, Caleb.
08:51All the good that Caleb did while helping the guardians,
08:54Nerissa used as the means to further her ongoing plans to conquer Kandrakar.
08:57Someone had to take charge to unite the Meridianites and save their world.
09:03That was me, not you.
09:06And you were created by me entirely for that.
09:11While Nerissa is an ace chess player,
09:13she's not winning any Mother of the Year awards in this lifetime.
09:16How do you live with yourself?
09:18By making the universe a better place.
09:21Number 42.
09:22We all know the current members of Mystery Incorporated.
09:29Fred, Velma, Daphne, Shaggy, and of course, Scooby-Doo.
09:33However, would you believe they weren't the first gang of mystery-solving youngsters in Crystal Cove?
09:37Indeed, there was another Mystery Incorporated 20 years before the series.
09:42My calculations don't lie.
09:45Why are we stopping?
09:46Because of that.
09:48They had their own animal mascot, Professor Pericles.
09:50And as an added twist,
09:52two of their members were Fred's biological parents,
09:55meaning Mayor Jones faked being his father.
09:58Wait, are you saying that Judy Reeves is Fred's mother?
10:02But that would mean...
10:03Brad Childs is your real father.
10:05The gang supposedly disappeared years ago,
10:09but in reality,
10:10they were forced out of town by the mayor disguised as a monster.
10:13Since then, they've stayed hidden in the shadows
10:15until Pericles reunited them for his own sinister purposes.
10:20Perhaps Krampus is exactly the distraction we need.
10:24Number 41.
10:25Discord's Poor Judgment.
10:26My Little Pony Friendship is Magic.
10:28At the very start of the final season,
10:31Chrysalis, Tyrek, and Cozy Glow found themselves recruited by Grogar.
10:34The ancient tyrant of Equestria,
10:37who aimed to conquer the land again with their help.
10:39And you have all been brought here as part of my plan
10:42to rid Equestria of Twilight Sparkle and her friends.
10:48The trio schemed to betray him and steal his powers,
10:51but when the big day arrived,
10:52it wasn't Grogar's powers they stole.
10:54It was Discord's.
10:55It turns out that the Master of Chaos was masquerading as Grogar
10:58to prepare Twilight Sparkle for a major battle
11:01to boost her confidence as Equestria's future ruler.
11:03Wait, Discord was Grogar?
11:07Like the whole time.
11:08Should we follow him?
11:10While he had good intentions,
11:12they horrifically backfired,
11:13shattering Twilight's confidence
11:15and giving three of the most treacherous villains
11:17the means to conquer the land.
11:19In what world is that good news?
11:22Number 40.
11:23Rand Takes Over.
11:25Inside Job.
11:26Let's be honest.
11:27Rand was a horrible father to Regan,
11:29being the primary source of her emotional trauma
11:31and social issues for his own benefit.
11:34It was like a breath of fresh air
11:35when she finally cut ties with him.
11:37More so when she prepared to become the new CEO of Cognito Inc.
11:42Time to start my second first day.
11:44However, our sighs of relief turned into gasps of shock
11:48when it was revealed that the shadow board chose Rand
11:50to be the new CEO instead of Regan.
11:53Oh, you can't, Mean.
11:54Hey there, Jellybean.
11:56No!
11:57Meaning, despite all the damage he's done,
12:00Rand still got his way in the end
12:01and smugly holds the reins of Cognito Inc.,
12:04while Regan angrily declares what we're all thinking.
12:07Oh, you motherfuckers!
12:09Number 39.
12:11Franz Hopper, Code Lyoko.
12:13During Season 2, we were introduced to Franz Hopper,
12:16the man responsible for creating Lyoko and XANA,
12:18and Aelita's father.
12:20Yes, it turns out that Aelita is actually human.
12:23She and her father were digitized and left in Lyoko.
12:25But that's impossible!
12:27If Hopper's daughter were on Lyoko,
12:29I would have definitely known I...
12:31Huh?
12:35I'm not...
12:37While the Lyoko warriors unraveled Hopper's mystery,
12:43he had been silently helping them from the shadows,
12:45seemingly sacrificing himself to save his daughter's life.
12:48I want to enter into contact with you now.
12:50Wow, I can't believe it!
12:52No, I am Franz Hopper.
12:54I am Franz Hopper.
12:55I am Franz Hopper.
12:57I am Franz Hopper.
12:58However, in Season 4,
13:00it's revealed that Franz Hopper is very much still alive,
13:03having manifested into a ball of light energy.
13:06While he can no longer speak,
13:07it won't stop him from doing what he can to protect his daughter
13:10and put an end to XANA once and for all.
13:13XANA's trying to destroy a kind of brightly lit bubble.
13:16What do we do?
13:16Protect it!
13:17That bubble is...
13:19Franz Hopper!
13:21Number 38.
13:22Eddie's Brother.
13:23Ed, Ed, and Eddie's Big Picture Show.
13:26Throughout the show,
13:27Eddie's older brother has been an overarching mystery.
13:30All we knew about him was the stories Eddie would tell,
13:32how he was the coolest guy in the cul-de-sac
13:34and was a whiz at everything.
13:35However, when we finally meet him in the movie,
13:38the truth is far bleaker than fiction.
13:40Why is your girlfriend wearing a sock on her head?
13:50In reality,
13:51Eddie's brother is a total fraud,
13:53a creep who torments his younger sibling for the fun of it.
13:56Eddie made up all those stories to fool others into liking him,
13:59and it's plain to see that his brother is the source of his bad attitude.
14:02Hopefully, with everything out in the open,
14:12Eddie can have another chance to make more friends with a clean slate.
14:22Number 37.
14:24Mizu's Childhood Tormenter.
14:25Blue-Eyed Samurai.
14:26Being half Japanese and half European in an unaccepting time,
14:30Mizu led a hard life of heartache and discrimination.
14:33One of the worst incidents was during her childhood
14:35when she was harassed and tormented by a group of hateful kids.
14:38Mizu held her own against them,
14:40but the conflict didn't end there.
14:50Told you.
14:52Round-eyed.
14:54Like a dog.
14:55Many years later during her travels,
14:57she has an unexpected reunion with one of her offenders,
15:01Taigen,
15:01who grew up to be a samurai.
15:03You won't go anywhere except in the funeral cart.
15:16The two cross blades.
15:19While Taigen has the upper hand,
15:21Mizu overpowers him,
15:22robbing him of his honor after severing his chonmage.
15:25These childhood reunions get more awkward every year,
15:28but hopefully Taigen will learn not to disrespect Mizu again.
15:41Number 36.
15:42The Clones.
15:43The Venture Brothers.
15:44At the end of season one,
15:46Hank and Dean are suddenly blown up by the Monarch's henchmen.
15:49Dr. Orpheus is devastated by the boys' death,
15:52but all their father Rusty can say is,
15:54get their clothes.
15:55It is awful.
15:56You didn't even see her.
15:57It was horrific.
15:57Well, it was awful that you would do this to your boys.
16:00Please.
16:01You do this kind of crap every day.
16:02A cryptic response,
16:03but what we learn next paints an even bleaker picture.
16:06It turns out that Rusty had clones of the boys on standby.
16:10Even worse,
16:11this isn't the first time Hank and Dean had died.
16:13They were killed multiple times up to this point,
16:15either due to dangerous missions or their own bumbling.
16:18If it makes you feel any better,
16:19the ones you knew weren't the originals.
16:21We've been through this so I don't know how many times, Brock.
16:23This'll be 14.
16:24It's grim that Rusty would treat his own sons as expendable,
16:27but somehow,
16:28Hank takes the news better than Dean.
16:31Does that make it okay?
16:32You're not upset?
16:33About what?
16:34That I'm like some kind of super cool,
16:36probably magic Highlander cyborg clone?
16:38I know.
16:39Hey,
16:40just one more reason.
16:41It's great to be a venture.
16:43Number 35.
16:44A shocking comeback.
16:46Monsters at Work.
16:47Monsters Inc.
16:48has been experiencing a lot of bad luck lately.
16:50Their public image is tarnished
16:52thanks to some leaky laugh energy,
16:54while their main competitor,
16:55Fearco,
16:55is thriving.
16:57Worst of all,
16:58it looks like our hero Tyler
16:59was sabotaging the company.
17:01It turns out there was a saboteur,
17:03but it wasn't Tyler.
17:04It was Randall Boggs.
17:06Boggs.
17:07Ha, ha, ha.
17:08Mission accomplished,
17:09boss.
17:12Having been stuck in the human world
17:13since the original movie,
17:14Randall was brought home by Fearco's CEO
17:16and wasted no time returning to his old tricks
17:19to sabotage Monsters Inc.
17:20So I owed him one.
17:22You see,
17:23Fearco had a problem.
17:24Screen power was kaput.
17:26And Johnny needed to protect his family legacy.
17:29You can only imagine how hard our jaws dropped
17:31seeing Randall back after so long.
17:33By the end of the season,
17:34he's on the run again.
17:36Even though he is,
17:37relatively speaking,
17:38rather small.
17:40Number 34.
17:41The Real Liv Amara
17:42Big Hero 6
17:44The Series
17:44Season 2 of the Big Hero 6 series
17:47introduced us to Liv Amara,
17:49the corrupt founder and CEO of Sycorax.
17:52However,
17:52some cryptic wordplay
17:53and a shocking revelation
17:55show us that Liv
17:56isn't who she claims to be.
17:57In reality,
17:58the woman we've been following
18:00is actually a biological clone
18:02named Dai.
18:03Good news.
18:04I got the gold.
18:05I promised you I'd do whatever it takes.
18:08Liv?
18:09The real Liv Amara
18:10was cryogenically frozen
18:11after becoming infected
18:12with life-threatening parasites.
18:14Meanwhile,
18:15Dai took her place
18:16while trying to find a cure
18:17for the original's affliction,
18:18no matter the cost.
18:20What did you do?
18:21What you created me to do,
18:22to save you.
18:23I never wanted
18:28to be saved like this.
18:29While she had noble intentions,
18:31Dai's methods proved too extreme,
18:33and once Liv recovered,
18:35she shut down her clone's operation,
18:37ashamed of everything
18:38Dai had done in her name.
18:39I did my job.
18:41You should be grateful.
18:42I'm ashamed.
18:44Number 33.
18:46Number Zero.
18:47Codename Kids Next Door
18:48Operation Zero.
18:50Many years ago,
18:51the legendary Number Zero
18:52defeated the insidious Grandfather
18:54and saved the world.
18:55Decades later,
18:56when Grandfather's tyranny
18:57starts anew,
18:58Number One will need
18:59to find Number Zero
19:00to defeat him once again.
19:02To Nigels and our complete shock,
19:04Number Zero turns out
19:05to be none other
19:06than his father,
19:06Monty Uno.
19:07Oh, my own dad
19:09is really Number Zero.
19:11Of course I'm Number Zero, Nigel.
19:13Where do you think
19:14you got all of your skills?
19:15It's definitely shocking,
19:17but it also makes sense.
19:18Number One is arguably
19:19the best operative
19:20in the KND.
19:21Where else would he get
19:22his skills from
19:23than a living legend?
19:25Are you crazy, Dad?
19:26I know you've been away and all,
19:28but that's our worst enemy!
19:30Try listening to what's going on,
19:31Number One.
19:32You might just learn something.
19:35In the end,
19:35the two save the Earth,
19:37and Monty gives up
19:37being Number Zero again
19:39to take on an even bigger mission,
19:40being a good father
19:41to his only son, Nigel.
19:43I'm an adult,
19:45and I need to complete
19:46the most important mission
19:47of my life,
19:49being a good father
19:50murdered by son.
19:51Number 32.
19:52Emperor Belos,
19:54The Owl House.
19:55During a time pool adventure,
19:57Luz and Lilith
19:57encounter Philip Wittobane,
19:59the human who wound up
20:00in the demon realm,
20:01hoping to return home.
20:03He tricks the two witches
20:04to further his own shady goals,
20:05and they leave him
20:06with a broken nose.
20:08If you or your aunt
20:09want to...
20:10You hateable sorceress!
20:13Stay mad.
20:14Come, Luzura,
20:15we're finished here.
20:16The episode ends
20:17with Philip planning ahead,
20:18speaking in a cryptically
20:19familiar voice,
20:21one belonging
20:21to Emperor Belos.
20:23I just need to live long enough
20:24to see this through.
20:30And you're going to help me,
20:33collector.
20:34Indeed.
20:35It turns out that Philip
20:36grew up as the so-called
20:37King of the Boiling Isles.
20:39Not only is he not
20:40a real witch,
20:41but his hatred
20:42for magical beings
20:43drives him to cook up
20:44a master plan
20:44to eviscerate them
20:45from under their noses.
20:47Luz takes this revelation
20:48the hardest,
20:49too sickened
20:50to say his former name.
20:51No, no, no!
20:52You're Belos!
20:53You're just Belos!
20:55Please,
20:56do me a kindness
20:57and call me
20:58by my real name.
20:59I can't.
21:01Number 31.
21:02Scoutmaster Lumpus
21:03is a fake.
21:04Camp Laszlo.
21:05It's the final episode
21:07of Camp Laszlo,
21:07and Scoutmaster Lumpus'
21:09latest scheme
21:10backfired horrendously.
21:11Yet the show decided
21:12to throw in
21:13one last unexpected twist.
21:15A squad of police
21:16pulls up
21:16and outsteps
21:17a distressed steer.
21:19The steer drops
21:20a major bombshell.
21:21He's the real
21:22Scoutmaster of Camp Kidney.
21:24Lumpus abducted him
21:25and stole his job.
21:26He's an imposter
21:27of fake
21:28and worse.
21:30He is no
21:32Scoutmaster
21:33of Camp Kidney!
21:38The episode ends
21:39with Lumpus
21:40being hauled away,
21:41and we bid goodbye
21:42to the Bean Scouts,
21:43having reached the point
21:44of no return.
21:45What are you doing?
21:46Let's eat!
21:47Send me a drink!
21:48Get your hands off of me!
21:50The biggest twist of all
21:52is that the real
21:52Scoutmaster resembles
21:53Heifer from Joe Murray's
21:55other hit cartoon
21:55Rocko's Modern Life.
21:57This would have been confirmed
21:58if only they weren't
21:59on competing networks.
22:01I guess no one loves me.
22:03Number 30.
22:07Thomas is a Spy
22:08Regular Show
22:09Introduced at the beginning
22:10of Season 4,
22:11Thomas proves his worth
22:12when the past comes back
22:13to haunt the park.
22:14Thomas is upgraded
22:15to a regular cast member,
22:17but isn't given another
22:18prominent storyline
22:19until Season 5
22:20when he helps his friends
22:21reclaim a statue
22:22under the guise of Nicholas.
22:23I could go undercover
22:25as an intern
22:26and gather information.
22:27We'll take them down
22:28from the inside!
22:29Thomas didn't randomly
22:30choose this name
22:31and his knowledge
22:31of espionage
22:32didn't come out
22:33of nowhere either.
22:34In Season 6,
22:35Thomas reveals himself
22:36as Nikolai,
22:37a Russian spy,
22:38and the mom
22:39he often speaks of
22:40is an acronym
22:41for Ministry of Meadow Management.
22:43Some years ago,
22:44I was embraced
22:45by a new mom,
22:46the Ministry of Meadow Management.
22:48Despite this deceit,
22:50Nikolai's loyalties
22:51lie with his friends
22:52as he goes on the run.
22:53Although this twist
22:54wasn't planned
22:54from the start,
22:55Thomas' evolution
22:56from intern to spy
22:57feels surprisingly natural.
23:00My name is not Thomas.
23:01It is Nikolai,
23:03and I am Russian spy.
23:05Number 29.
23:06Greg and Wirt
23:07are from modern day,
23:09Over the Garden Wall.
23:10This miniseries
23:11plops us into the unknown
23:12as brothers Wirt
23:13and Greg
23:13navigate a dark forest,
23:15searching for home.
23:16Where are we?
23:18In the woods.
23:19I mean,
23:20what are we doing out here?
23:22We don't know
23:23where the brothers came from,
23:24but based on their
23:25eccentric fashion,
23:26it's safe to assume
23:27they aren't that far removed
23:29from this fantastical universe.
23:30If that's the case, though,
23:32why are Wirt and Greg
23:33caught off guard
23:34by some of the creatures
23:35they come across?
23:36Maybe I can help you.
23:37I mean,
23:38you guys are lost, right?
23:41What in the world
23:42is going on?
23:43Everything begins
23:44to add up
23:44in the penultimate episode,
23:46where we learn
23:46that Wirt and Greg
23:47are modern day kids.
23:49We're unsure
23:49how modern
23:50since the precise year
23:51is left vague,
23:52but in any case,
23:53they're even further
23:54from home
23:55than we realized.
23:56The Halloween backdrop
23:57explains their wardrobes,
23:59while the show's title
23:59is also given
24:00a deeper meaning.
24:02Yes.
24:06Into the unknown.
24:09Number 28.
24:10The Flash Forward
24:11Bluey
24:11Following the show's
24:12first extended special,
24:14the episode's surprise
24:15seems like a return
24:16to the status quo.
24:17It's a typical day
24:18as Bandit balances
24:19playing two games
24:20with his daughters.
24:21I was just watching
24:22the race, mate.
24:23The Aussie fella's
24:24doing well.
24:25Aww.
24:26Well,
24:27I can dip in and out.
24:28Hooray!
24:29One sees Bluey
24:30bombard her father
24:31with a ball blaster,
24:32while the other
24:33finds Bingo
24:33playing a parent.
24:35Noticing that her
24:35dedicated dad
24:36could use a break,
24:37Bluey makes
24:38a mature decision.
24:39It's okay, dad.
24:40I'm Finucane's sister.
24:42I'll look after him.
24:43You take the others
24:44to daycare.
24:45Bluey grows in ways
24:47we didn't anticipate,
24:48as the episode's ending
24:49provides a glimpse
24:50into her adulthood.
24:51Arriving at her parents' house,
24:53Bluey is now all grown up.
24:55In yet another twist,
24:56there's a new kid
24:57on the block
24:57who looks an awful lot
24:58like Bluey and Mackenzie.
25:00Even with the word
25:01surprise in the title,
25:02this came out of the blue.
25:04No one.
25:05That's weird.
25:09Oh, nice.
25:10Number 27.
25:11Marcy's Betrayal
25:12Amphibia
25:13This series follows Anne,
25:15an ordinary girl
25:16who's transported
25:16to a world
25:17where amphibians
25:18reign supreme.
25:19Guys, guys, guys,
25:20I just had the craziest dream
25:21I was trapped
25:22in a world of frog pee.
25:23Anne arrives
25:24with her friends
25:25Sasha and Marcy,
25:26although their dynamic
25:27is slowly unveiled.
25:28Considering how Sasha
25:29bossed Anne around
25:30before coming to Amphibia,
25:31it's not surprising
25:32that she allies
25:33with the villains
25:34before redeeming herself.
25:35Marcy's dark turn
25:36is another story.
25:38He promised
25:39he'd take us with him
25:40to the new worlds
25:41that we could have
25:42amazing adventures
25:43just like this one
25:44forever and ever.
25:45Reuniting with Anne,
25:47Marcy seems like
25:47the glue
25:48who held their friends together.
25:49That description
25:50takes on a more
25:51disturbing meaning
25:52upon learning
25:52Marcy purposely
25:53stranded them
25:54in Amphibia,
25:55not wanting to move
25:56with her parents.
25:57Did it ever occur
25:58to you, Anne, Sasha,
26:00that one of you
26:00knew more
26:01than she was letting on?
26:02That one of you
26:03might have gotten
26:04you stranded
26:05in Amphibia
26:06on the purpose?
26:08To stay with her friends,
26:09Marcy unwisely
26:10cuts a deal
26:11with King Andreas.
26:12Marcy's lies
26:13continue to snowball
26:14until she's forced
26:15to face the music box
26:16and a sword.
26:18Number 26.
26:19Scott Pilgrim dies.
26:21Scott Pilgrim takes off.
26:23I won?
26:26I won!
26:28It was right there
26:28in the title
26:29and yet this twist
26:30hit us hard.
26:31Throughout the first episode,
26:33Scott Pilgrim takes off
26:34seems like a beat-for-beat
26:35adaptation of the graphic novels.
26:36It's well executed,
26:38but we already got
26:39a mostly faithful adaptation
26:40over a decade ago.
26:41Why do we need
26:42to see the same story again?
26:44The pilot's ending
26:44answers our question
26:45by going off book.
26:47Time to fight!
26:49Matthew Patel
26:50versus Scott Pilgrim.
26:52Scott doesn't defeat
26:53the first of Ramona's
26:54evil exes.
26:55Matthew Patel
26:56beats Scott,
26:57apparently killing him.
26:58While Scott
26:59isn't really dead,
27:00he does take off,
27:02sending Ramona
27:02on a journey
27:03to find him.
27:04This approach provides
27:05more development
27:05for Ramona,
27:06the supporting cast,
27:07and even Scott,
27:08telling an alternate story
27:09that still preserves
27:10the franchise's
27:11essential elements.
27:13You didn't create
27:13a force field
27:14preventing me and Ramona
27:15from kissing,
27:16did you?
27:16Number 25.
27:18Vaggie is a fallen angel,
27:19has-been hotel.
27:20Turns out that the
27:21ex over Vaggie's left eye
27:23isn't just for decoration.
27:24Do you really think
27:26I wouldn't recognize
27:27one of my top girls
27:28just because you're
27:29out of uniform?
27:30Charlie has finally
27:31been granted a meeting
27:32in heaven,
27:33but this isn't
27:33Vaggie's first trip
27:34upstairs.
27:35Adam drops the bombshell
27:36that Vaggie used to be
27:37an exterminator angel.
27:39When confronting a child
27:40on extermination day,
27:41Vaggie chose compassion,
27:43losing her wings
27:43and one eye
27:44in the process.
27:45No!
27:46Run!
27:47Now!
27:49She met Charlie
27:50shortly after,
27:51but even as they
27:51grew closer,
27:52Vaggie concealed
27:53how she came to hell.
27:54The truth gives
27:55Charlie pause
27:56about their relationship.
27:57Thankfully,
27:58it isn't a long pause
27:59as Vaggie's
27:59unyielding dedication
28:00only strengthens
28:01Charlie's core beliefs
28:02in forgiveness,
28:03redemption,
28:04and love.
28:04I got you a souvenir
28:06from Cannibal Town.
28:08Oh, Charlie.
28:11The wings are new.
28:12They look nice.
28:13Come on,
28:14let's go home.
28:16If love can flourish
28:17in hell,
28:18it can thrive anywhere,
28:19maybe even in heaven.
28:21Number 24.
28:22Norman is the Green Goblin,
28:24the Spectacular Spider-Man.
28:26We know what some of you
28:27are already typing
28:28in the comments.
28:28Of course Norman Osborn
28:29was the Green Goblin.
28:30Haven't you ever read
28:31a comic or seen
28:32any Spider-Man movie?
28:33This show knew
28:34we would be suspecting Norman
28:36from the moment
28:36the Goblin showed up,
28:37though.
28:38I'm so lost.
28:40I was sure Norman
28:41was the Goblin.
28:42So I saw Harry
28:43wearing the mask,
28:44and now I don't know
28:44if either one is Gobby.
28:46The Spectacular Spider-Man
28:47plays with expectations,
28:49revealing Harry
28:49behind the mask
28:50in season one.
28:51Norman claims
28:52he's been trying
28:53to protect his son,
28:54appearing sincere.
28:55I protected Harry.
28:57If I'd been sent to prison,
28:59who'd have made
28:59a man out of him?
29:01While Norman may color
29:02outside the lines of justice,
29:04we believe he isn't
29:05the Green Goblin.
29:06Norman continues
29:07to deceive everyone,
29:08Spider-Man included,
29:09until the series finale
29:11when the true Goblin
29:12is unmasked.
29:13You!
29:14You were the Goblin
29:15all along!
29:16Amazingly,
29:17the show made us forget
29:18everything we knew
29:18about Norman Osborn,
29:20reminding us by yanking
29:21the rug out from under.
29:22Number 23.
29:24Cassandra Crosses the Line.
29:26Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure.
29:27Here's another show
29:28where the writers
29:28were one step ahead
29:29of even the most
29:30attentive viewers.
29:31From the get-go,
29:32there seemed to be
29:33something off
29:33about Rapunzel's
29:34best friend Cassandra.
29:35The fact that she's adopted
29:37and looks like Mother Gothel
29:38only added to our suspicions.
29:40That's mine.
29:44Mother.
29:45Yes.
29:46It is.
29:47Over two seasons,
29:49though,
29:49Cassandra establishes
29:50herself as a loyal friend.
29:52She occasionally clashes
29:53with Rapunzel,
29:54but by the second season finale,
29:55we're convinced
29:56she would never betray Rapunzel.
29:58Or maybe she would.
29:59Just as Rapunzel
30:00is within the Moonstone's grasp,
30:02Cassandra swoops in,
30:03claiming what she believes
30:04to be her destiny.
30:06Cassandra?
30:07What are you doing?
30:08I'm fulfilling
30:10my destiny.
30:12Cassandra was
30:13Gothel's biological daughter,
30:15resenting Rapunzel
30:16for the life she stole.
30:18Even if you predicted
30:19Cassandra's lineage,
30:20the way the truth comes out
30:21threw everyone for a loop.
30:23I tried to warn you,
30:25Rapunzel.
30:27You have to be careful
30:28who you trust.
30:31Number 22.
30:32Powder Tries to Help
30:33Arcane.
30:34Jinx is one of the most
30:35recognizable League of Legends
30:37characters,
30:38but her upbringing
30:39wasn't fleshed out
30:40going into this series.
30:41Introduced as Powder,
30:42fans of the games
30:43figured that this little girl
30:44would adopt the name Jinx
30:45at some point.
30:46Why did you leave me?
30:48Because you're a Jinx.
30:50Do you hear me?
30:51Milo was right.
30:52Even long-time players
30:53couldn't imagine
30:54just how heartbreaking
30:55her backstory was.
30:56Wanting to prove herself,
30:58Powder causes an explosion
30:59to save her sister and friends.
31:01You have to work
31:02for me, okay?
31:04Powder initially believes
31:05that her plan worked,
31:06but this triumph
31:07quickly turns into tragedy.
31:09The explosion inadvertently
31:10killed Powder's foster brothers,
31:12with her father figure
31:13soon following.
31:14Her sister Vi survives,
31:16but once both realize
31:17what Powder has done,
31:18their relationship
31:19appears beyond repair.
31:21When the sisters meet again,
31:22Powder is essentially gone,
31:24with only Jinx remaining.
31:26Now,
31:26where should I sit?
31:34That's your choice, really.
31:36I always knew you'd come back.
31:39Number 21.
31:40Gambit's Sacrifice
31:41X-Men 97
31:42Some say they're freaks,
31:45some call them monsters,
31:46but all over the planet
31:47they are known as mutants.
31:50The original X-Men series
31:52regularly explored adult themes,
31:54but being part of the Fox Kids
31:56programming block,
31:57the showrunners could only go so far.
31:59When this sequel series was announced,
32:01we wondered if Disney
32:02would allow these characters
32:03to grow up with their audience.
32:04While the characters themselves
32:06haven't drastically aged,
32:07the story significantly matures
32:09in Episode 5.
32:11What a ton of Acer.
32:13Just after the world
32:14takes a small step
32:15towards accepting mutants,
32:16a huge step is taken backward
32:18as Master Mold
32:19and the Sentinels
32:19attack Genosha,
32:21killing thousands.
32:22Yes,
32:22people die in the show,
32:24including main characters.
32:26Among the casualties
32:27is Gambit,
32:28who sacrifices himself
32:29just as Rogue
32:30comes to terms
32:30with her feelings for him.
32:32Gambit's death
32:36changes the game,
32:37evolving the series
32:38in unexpected ways.
32:40Number 20.
32:41Will Harper,
32:42Young Justice.
32:43Near the end
32:44of Young Justice's
32:45first season,
32:46Roy Harper was finally
32:47welcomed into
32:48the Justice League.
32:49Finally,
32:50Green Arrow
32:50welcomes his former
32:52protege, Speedy,
32:53now known as Red Arrow,
32:54to this roster of heroes.
32:56Way to go, Roy!
32:58At last he has his wish.
32:59The first of us
33:00to make it.
33:01However,
33:02fulfilling his dream
33:03just unravels
33:04one plot twist
33:05after another.
33:06First of all,
33:07he was unknowingly
33:07a sleeper agent
33:08programmed to
33:09infiltrate the League.
33:11What's even more shocking?
33:12He wasn't the real
33:13Roy Harper.
33:14In reality,
33:15he was a clone
33:16to replace the actual
33:17Speedy who was abducted
33:19years before the series
33:20started.
33:20This Roy Harper
33:21had no idea
33:22he was a clone
33:23or a traitor.
33:24And his subconscious
33:25programming drove him
33:27to become
33:27League-worthy.
33:29After he found
33:29the real Roy,
33:30the clone
33:31eventually retired
33:32from being a hero
33:33and left to make
33:34a new life for himself
33:35as Will,
33:36showing that although
33:37he was created
33:37for nefarious purposes,
33:39he could rise above
33:40all that and forge
33:41his own identity.
33:42I don't want to be the
33:43cause of more conflict
33:44between you two.
33:46I'd understand if you
33:47never wanted to lay
33:47eyes on me again.
33:49I don't know.
33:50Number 19.
33:51April.
33:52DuckTales.
33:53Throughout the
33:54DuckTales reboot,
33:55we believed that
33:56Webby's only family
33:57was her grandmother,
33:58Mrs. Beakley.
33:59Granny gave up her job
34:00as a spy so she could
34:01raise me.
34:02I never really knew
34:03my parents before they-
34:04That's it!
34:05I bet your spy granny
34:06is hiding something
34:07about your actual family
34:08that explains why we exist!
34:09However,
34:10the series finale
34:11changed everything
34:12Webby thought about
34:13her life.
34:14For starters,
34:15Beakley isn't really
34:16her grandmother.
34:17She found the infant
34:18Webby and took her in
34:19for her protection.
34:20But the biggest twist
34:22of all?
34:22Webby is actually a clone
34:24made from the DNA
34:25of Scrooge McDuck.
34:26Who was Webby made from?
34:28Why, your old
34:29Uncle Scrooge McDuck,
34:30of course!
34:34You fellas all knew
34:35that, right?
34:36You did?
34:37For years,
34:39Webby idolized the
34:40McDucks and they became
34:41a surrogate family to her.
34:43But to find out
34:43not only that she's
34:44related by blood
34:46to her idols
34:46and that Scrooge
34:47himself is her
34:48genetic father
34:49really takes the cake.
34:51It just goes to show
34:52how deep a familial bond
34:54can really be.
34:55Number 18.
34:56Unicron the Destroyer
34:58Transformers Prime
34:59In the season 1 finale
35:01of Transformers Prime,
35:02a planetary alignment
35:04is having a strange
35:05effect on the Earth.
35:06Natural disasters
35:07are popping up
35:08left and right
35:09and a volcano
35:10is erupting
35:11Dark Energon?
35:13But Dark Energon
35:14is rumored to be
35:14the blood of the
35:15Cybertronian god
35:16of chaos Unicron.
35:17So why would it
35:18be pumping out
35:19of the Earth?
35:20In a shocking turn
35:21of events,
35:22Unicron himself
35:23is the Earth's core.
35:25A Cybertronian heartbeat?
35:26How is that possible?
35:28A heart pumps blood.
35:29There's nothing inside
35:30the Earth to pump
35:31except blood of Unicron.
35:33When he was defeated
35:34eons ago,
35:35the Earth was formed
35:36around his dormant body
35:37and only an unlikely
35:39alliance can assure
35:40he never awakens again.
35:42This was a very unique
35:43way to bring Unicron
35:44into the series
35:45and only strengthened
35:46the connection
35:47between Earth
35:47and Cybertron.
35:49Primus became one
35:50with the very core
35:51of our planet,
35:52creating life
35:53through the well
35:54of all sparks.
35:56While Unicron
35:57was never to be
35:58heard from again
35:59until now.
36:02Number 17,
36:04Cartman's real father,
36:05South Park.
36:06Remember when Cartman
36:07had Scott Tenerman's
36:08parents killed
36:08and tricked Scott
36:09into eating their remains?
36:10And of course,
36:12feed you your chili.
36:13Do you like it?
36:14Do you like it, Scott?
36:16I call it
36:16Mr. and Mrs. Tenerman Chili.
36:19It's a testament
36:20to how twisted
36:20Cartman can be,
36:21but the story
36:22doesn't end there.
36:24Years later,
36:25Scott gets his revenge
36:26on Cartman
36:27by dropping
36:28a major bombshell.
36:29He is actually
36:30Cartman's half-brother,
36:32meaning that Cartman
36:33unknowingly murdered
36:34his own father.
36:35Jack Tenerman
36:36was your father.
36:38You killed
36:39your own father
36:40and then you fed him
36:42to your half-brother.
36:44One of the show's
36:45biggest mysteries
36:46was who Cartman's
36:46father was.
36:47Well, we got our answer
36:49in the most gruesome
36:50of ways.
36:51Naturally,
36:51Cartman is horrified,
36:52not because of his
36:53own actions,
36:54but because this means
36:55he's half-ginger.
36:56My dad was
36:57Scott Tenerman's dad.
36:59Don't you guys
36:59realize what that means?
37:01Yeah, dude,
37:02we know what it means.
37:04My dad was a ginger!
37:06Even when facing
37:07the consequences
37:08of his horrific deeds,
37:10Cartman may never change.

37:13Nibbler and Frye
37:14Futurama
37:15We all know Frye's story,
37:17but what if his
37:18cryogenic freezing
37:18was no accident?
37:20Frye getting sent
37:21to the future
37:21was actually
37:22a calculated plan
37:23by Nibbler.
37:25He made the prank call
37:26that brought Frye
37:27to the lab,
37:27and he caused Frye
37:28to trip and fall
37:29into the freezer.
37:30The reason he did
37:31all this was because
37:32Frye was the only one
37:34who could save
37:34the future
37:35from a massive threat.
37:36Our sages foresee
37:38that in a thousand years,
37:39for one moment,
37:40the fate of the universe
37:41will depend on you.
37:43Since you will not
37:44live that long,
37:45I must freeze you now.
37:47Even though Frye
37:48doesn't like being used,
37:49a lot of good
37:50came out of
37:50Nibbler's interference.
37:52He found a better life
37:53in the future
37:53and the woman
37:54of his dreams,
37:54Leela,
37:55so in a way,
37:56meddling with his past
37:57was the best thing
37:58to ever happen to him.
37:59You know what, Frye?
38:00I don't care if you're not
38:01the most important person
38:03in the universe.
38:04It really makes me happy
38:05to see you right now.
38:06Number 15.
38:07Aku and Ashi
38:08Samurai Jack
38:09Hold it!
38:11Time out!
38:13Really?
38:14There's more Aku here
38:16besides me!
38:18Ashi was part
38:19of the Daughters of Aku,
38:20a cult of assassins
38:21dedicated to the
38:22demonic dictator himself
38:23with one singular goal,
38:25to kill Samurai Jack.
38:27However,
38:28traveling with Jack
38:29allows her to break away
38:30from Aku's influence,
38:31but it turns out
38:32her connection to the demon
38:33is deeper than even she knows.
38:35A true daughter of Aku!
38:42No!
38:43In reality,
38:44she is Aku's daughter
38:45biologically,
38:46his demon essence
38:47being a part of her
38:48since childbirth.
38:49This means that
38:50not only does she
38:51possess Aku's powers,
38:53but their connection
38:54allows him to use her
38:55as a puppet
38:56to try and slay Jack
38:57for good.
38:58Ashi.
39:00Ashi!
39:01Ashi!
39:02Please!
39:05Ashi!
39:06Fight!
39:08Fortunately,
39:09Ashi manages
39:10to break free,
39:11and her new powers
39:12enable Jack
39:13to finally put an end
39:14to Aku's terror.

39:17Hot Girl's Real Mission
39:18Justice League
39:19While Hot Girl
39:20claims that her
39:21coming to Earth
39:22was an accident,
39:23she becomes
39:23one of the founding members
39:25of the Justice League.
39:26However,
39:27in Season 2,
39:28we learn the true motives
39:29for her arrival.
39:30She's a military spy
39:32for her people,
39:33the Thanagarians,
39:34scouting the planet
39:35in preparation
39:35for a massive invasion.
39:37Don't fight us,
39:38we're trying to help you.
39:39Do you ever stop lying?
39:42It was for your own good,
39:43you've got to trust me.
39:45Why?
39:45Whose side
39:46are you really on?
39:47While she redeems
39:48herself in the end,
39:49the damage is already done.
39:51She lied to her friends
39:52and sold out the planet
39:53that saw her as a hero.
39:55After that,
39:56the only honorable thing
39:57she can do
39:58is leave the League behind.
40:00I've spent the last five years
40:01torn between my feelings
40:02and my duty.
40:03I won't ask you
40:04to do the same.
40:06Therefore,
40:06I am resigning
40:07from the Justice League,
40:08effective immediately.
40:09She returns to them eventually,
40:11but it takes a while
40:12to restore her good name
40:13with the League
40:14and the public.

40:16Zuko's Grandfather
40:17Avatar The Last Airbender
40:19For the longest time,
40:21Zuko is sure
40:22that defeating Avatar Aang
40:23would help him
40:24realize his destiny.
40:25But one earth-shattering discovery
40:27shakes his entire worldview.
40:29First,
40:30we learn how
40:30his paternal
40:31great-grandfather Sozin
40:33betrayed his childhood friend
40:34and Aang's predecessor,
40:36Avatar Roku.
40:37Please.
40:40Without you,
40:41all my plans
40:42are suddenly possible.
40:44I have a vision
40:45for the future, Roku.
40:47But almost everyone
40:48knows that story.
40:49What Zuko didn't know
40:50was that Roku
40:51was his maternal
40:52great-grandfather.
40:53suddenly Zuko's
40:54inner struggle
40:55becomes much clearer.
40:57Both his great-grandfather's
40:58conflict symbolizes
40:59his own inner turmoil
41:00between deciding
41:01which path to follow,
41:02good or evil.
41:03Because of your legacy,
41:05you alone
41:06can cleanse the sins
41:07of our family
41:08and the Fire Nation.
41:10If any good
41:11comes out of this
41:12existential crisis,
41:13it's that it finally
41:14sets Zuko along
41:15the path of redemption
41:16to help Aang
41:17finally end the war.

41:20Project Batman Beyond
41:21Justice League Unlimited
41:23It turns out that
41:24Terry and Bruce's
41:25relationship goes beyond
41:26a teacher-student bond.
41:28Terry is actually
41:29Bruce's biological son.
41:31For context,
41:32Amanda Waller
41:33secretly used
41:33Bruce's DNA
41:34to alter Terry's
41:35father's reproductive system,
41:37ensuring that his son
41:38would be a worthy
41:39successor as Batman.
41:40She even schemed
41:53to have Terry relive
41:54the tragedy that
41:55kick-started
41:56Bruce's crime-fighting career.
41:57While her plan
41:58didn't go as intended,
42:00Terry would eventually
42:00become the new Batman.
42:02Not as Bruce's carbon copy,
42:04but as someone
42:04truly worthy
42:05of carrying out
42:06his legacy.
42:07This episode serves
42:08as the conclusion
42:09to Batman Beyond's story,
42:10and it ends the tale
42:11on a high note
42:12by giving Terry and Bruce
42:13the satisfying endings
42:14they both deserve.
42:16Better suit up.
42:17You should eat something first.
42:19Keep up your strength.
42:20When I get back,
42:21you're a stubborn piece of work,
42:22you know that.
42:24Just like my old man.

42:27The Utrom Shredder
42:28Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
42:30None of you
42:33will leave here alive.
42:35During a brawl at TCRI,
42:37the Turtles band together
42:38to bring the Shredder down.
42:40Only to be greeted
42:40by a nasty surprise.
42:42Shredder is actually
42:43a fugitive Utrom alien.
42:45This little pest
42:46went on a rampage
42:47against his fellow aliens
42:48and then escaped to Earth
42:49where he took on
42:50his faux identity.
42:51Inspired by the legend
42:52of the actual Shredder
42:53of old
42:54and vowed to conquer
42:55the Utroms
42:56and anyone
42:57who got in his way.
42:58Let's just say
42:59the metal
43:00fell from the heavens.
43:03While he's technically
43:04not the genuine article,
43:05he took this stolen identity
43:07and made it his own
43:08as the Turtles'
43:09most formidable
43:09and ruthless adversary.
43:11It'd be safe to say
43:12that he was
43:13the one true Shredder.
43:14The Shredders
43:16and Utrom?
43:18Finn and Jake
43:29come across
43:29a video diary
43:30about the Ice King
43:31and make a jaw-dropping discovery
43:32about their wizarding nemesis.
43:34A thousand years ago,
43:35Ice King was a normal human
43:37named Simon Petrikov
43:38whose life was transformed
43:39the day he found
43:41the magic crown.
43:42He was gifted
43:42with ice powers
43:43but his sanity
43:44completely crumbled.
43:45Visions.
43:46I fought with them.
43:47Shouted at them
43:48until I realized
43:49it wasn't real.
43:50It was the crown.
43:50This adds a depressing
43:52new depth
43:52to the icy princess-chasing
43:54psychopath.
43:55He once had a normal life,
43:56a beautiful fiancé
43:57whom he ironically
43:58called his princess
43:59and was even best friends
44:01with a young,
44:02not-yet-vampire queen,
44:03Marceline.
44:04Tragically,
44:05there's little hope
44:06for him remembering
44:06the happier life
44:07he once led.
44:08Please forgive me
44:10for whatever I do
44:12when I don't remember you.
44:14Wow, I wrote that!

44:22Who's festivier?
44:24Don't worry.
44:25We'll get to the bottom of this.
44:26It turns out
44:27that Eclipse of Butterfly,
44:28the Queen of Darkness
44:29and Princess Star's
44:30supposed ninth great-grandmother
44:31had a monster hybrid daughter
44:33and yet she does not show up
44:35in the Butterfly Family Scroll.
44:36What did you do
44:37with my daughter?
44:38The Butterfly matriarchs
44:39hope to squeeze the truth
44:41out of the Magic High Commission
44:42at Eclipse's trial
44:43but what they find out
44:44is a doozy.
44:45Eclipse's daughter
44:46was to inherit the throne
44:47but she was switched at birth
44:49with another baby.
44:50Having been kept in the dark
44:51for so long,
44:52Star is horrified to learn
44:54that she may not be
44:54actual royalty
44:55and that her family
44:57stole the throne
44:57from its true owner
44:58but would giving it back later
45:00really help things?

45:02Slade's Apprentice
45:04Teen Titans
45:05In season 2,
45:06we get to meet Tara,
45:07a super-powered teenage girl
45:09who struggles
45:09with controlling her abilities.
45:10I know you have trouble
45:12controlling your powers
45:13and we can help.
45:15You told him?
45:17I didn't.
45:18You promised.
45:19You lied to me.
45:21You lied!
45:22She disappears
45:22for most of the season
45:23before returning
45:24to join the Titans,
45:25now fully in control
45:27of her powers.
45:28However,
45:28what they don't know
45:29is that Tara
45:30had a little help
45:31from their arch-nemesis Slade.
45:33He taught her
45:34to control her powers.
45:35In exchange,
45:36she became his spy
45:37to destroy the Titans
45:38from the inside.
45:40It's the truth.
45:44Tara,
45:45why?
45:47Because you could never
45:48give her what she needs.
45:50While we don't condone
45:51her betraying her friends,
45:53try to understand.
45:54She was emotionally
45:55volatile and desperate
45:57which led her down
45:58a path of self-destruction.
45:59She eventually makes
46:01amends for her sins
46:01but at a heavy cost.

46:05The Truth About Amon
46:06The Legend of Korra
46:07In her early days
46:09as the Avatar,
46:10Korra found herself
46:10up against
46:11the mysterious Amon,
46:12a revolutionary
46:13planning to equalize
46:14Republic City
46:15by taking away
46:16all Bender's
46:17bending abilities
46:18thanks to some
46:19unknown mystical power.
46:20Your firebending
46:21is gone.
46:23However,
46:23after learning bits
46:24and pieces
46:24of his family history,
46:25it's revealed that Amon
46:26is a bender himself,
46:28a bloodbender.
46:29And his gift
46:30is actually
46:30a bloodbending technique
46:32that severs
46:33bending abilities.
46:34You boys
46:35have this power
46:35inside of you
46:36and I will teach
46:37you to master it.
46:39While his image
46:39is a complete lie,
46:40his mission
46:41was real.
46:42He grew to hate
46:43bending after being
46:44pushed too hard
46:45as a child
46:45by his father
46:46and the pressure
46:46turned a once
46:47innocent kid
46:48into a cold
46:49and calculating
46:50political terrorist.
46:51I told you
46:52I would destroy you.
46:54Number 6.
46:55Timmy's Secret Wish
46:56The Fairly Oddparents
46:57According to
46:58the fairy council,
46:59your history
47:00of dangerous wishes
47:00makes you the worst
47:01fairy god kid ever.
47:03What?
47:03Timmy Turner
47:04has been put on trial
47:05for being the worst
47:06godchild in history.
47:08After a rocky start,
47:09it seems as though
47:10Timmy may have
47:10finally won the case
47:11until Foop drops
47:13a major bombshell.
47:14Timmy made
47:15an illegal secret wish.
47:16He hasn't made
47:17a million wishes
47:18after all.
47:20He's made
47:21a million and one!
47:24The wish was that
47:25everyone would stop
47:26aging so he could
47:27keep his fairies.
47:29And it was made
47:2950 years ago,
47:30meaning it's been
47:31five decades
47:32since the very
47:33first pilot episode
47:34where Timmy first
47:35got Cosmo and Wanda.
47:37Oh, all right!
47:38I did make
47:39a secret wish!
47:40Cosmo doesn't
47:41remember granting it
47:41because I wished
47:42he'd forget!
47:43This was definitely
47:44a unique take
47:45on the never-aging
47:45cartoon character's
47:46cliche,
47:47but it gets
47:47completely swept
47:48under the rug
47:49and resolved
47:49by the end of the episode
47:50because status quo.
47:52We overturned
47:53our previous ruling.
47:55You may have
47:56your fairies back.
47:57Number 5
48:01Chad is a double agent
48:03Codename Kids Next Door
48:04Chad Dixon,
48:09also known as
48:09Number 274,
48:11was considered
48:11the best there is
48:12in the Kids Next Door
48:13organization
48:14until he supposedly
48:16turned traitor
48:16in the wake
48:17of his 13th birthday.
48:18I don't know
48:20what you're talking about!
48:21Since then,
48:21he became a recurring
48:22teenage villain
48:23forming a heated rivalry
48:25with Number 1.
48:26But had he really
48:26betrayed his comrades?
48:28In the penultimate episode,
48:29it's revealed
48:30that Chad was
48:31a double agent
48:31for the Kids Next Door
48:32and that every time
48:33he and Number 1
48:34have clashed,
48:35he was secretly
48:35helping them
48:36from the sidelines,
48:37adding a new perspective
48:38to all of his defeats.
48:40Yeah, right!
48:41Trying to send
48:42our moon base
48:43into the sun
48:43really helped us!
48:45Kree was on her way
48:46to do the same thing,
48:47so I had to stop her!
48:49And today I was
48:49trying to warn
48:50Number Infinity
48:51about the teen's trap
48:52until you had to
48:53come and blow my cover!
48:55As he departs,
48:56his loyalty
48:56no longer questioned.
48:57He leaves
48:58his former pupil
48:59one last cryptic clue.
49:00There are others.
49:02Others that Number 362
49:04doesn't even know about.
49:05Higher up than her.
49:07Higher up than us
49:08teenage operatives.
49:09Number 4.
49:10The real Seymour Skinner.
49:12The Simpsons.
49:13You're not Seymour Skinner.
49:14Many say this is where
49:16the Simpsons began
49:17to decline in quality.
49:19In the midst of his
49:2020th anniversary,
49:21Principal Skinner
49:21makes a shocking announcement.
49:23He has been lying
49:24about his identity.
49:25It's true.
49:26I'm...
49:26I'm an imposter.
49:32In reality,
49:33he was a street punk
49:34who served in the platoon
49:34of the real Seymour Skinner
49:36who became like
49:37a mentor to him.
49:38When his sergeant
49:39was declared dead,
49:40the faker ended up
49:41living Skinner's life
49:42and dreams
49:42in honor of his memory.
49:43While some twists
49:44can be clever
49:45like the mystery
49:46of who shot Mr. Burns,
49:47this revelation
49:48on a well-developed character
49:49came out of nowhere
49:50and we were expected
49:52to pretend
49:52that none of it
49:53ever happened afterwards.
49:55My real name
49:55is Armin Tamzerian.
50:01Number 3.
50:02Mr. Poopy Butthole.
50:04Rick and Morty.
50:05It's another typical day
50:06in the Smith household.
50:07Rick and Morty's family
50:08finds themselves
50:09dealing with
50:09shape-shifting parasites
50:10that trick them
50:11with false memories
50:12of wild and zany
50:13friends and relatives.
50:14So, you know,
50:15business as usual.
50:16Everybody just relax
50:17for a second.
50:18There's no such thing
50:18as an Uncle Steve.
50:20At the end
50:21of the episode,
50:22one of these strange friends,
50:23Mr. Poopy Butthole,
50:24pops up again
50:25and Beth shoots him
50:26thinking he's
50:26just another parasite.
50:28But he's no parasite.
50:30He's real
50:30and Beth mortally wounds him.
50:32My wife shot
50:33a long-time family friend.
50:35Don't worry.
50:36Mr. Poopy Butthole
50:36survives and becomes
50:37a recurring face
50:38in the show.
50:39Still, this is
50:40a hilarious subversion
50:41of expectations
50:42and the way it plays out
50:43is shocking
50:44both in the revelation
50:45and how horrifying
50:46and intense
50:47the reactions feel.
50:48Why would I do this?
50:50Beth?
50:50It's not supposed
50:51to hurt.
50:52I thought.
50:53Oh, wee.
50:54Number two,
50:55the author's identity,
50:56Gravity Falls.
50:57What the?
51:02Ever since the series
51:03beginning,
51:04one question
51:05has been on the minds
51:06of Gravity Falls fans.
51:07Who wrote
51:08the mysterious journal
51:09that Dipper found?
51:10It turns out
51:11that the journal
51:11was just one of three,
51:13all chronicled
51:13by Grunkle Stan's
51:14long-lost twin brother,
51:16Stanford Pines.
51:17Is this the part
51:18where one of us faints?
51:19Oh, I am so honored, dude.
51:23Ford became obsessed
51:24with the supernatural
51:25activity surrounding
51:26Gravity Falls
51:27and wrote down
51:28all of his findings
51:28in three journals,
51:29only to leave them behind
51:31when he vanished
51:32through an interdimensional
51:32portal during a quarrel
51:34with his twin.
51:35Stanley!
51:35Stanley, help me!
51:36Oh no, what do I do?
51:38Stanley!
51:38Stanley!
51:39Do something!
51:40Stanley!
51:41Stanley!
51:41The real payoff
51:42for this revelation
51:43was how cleverly hidden
51:44the mystery was.
51:45A few subtle clues
51:46in the background,
51:47plus a hilarious misdirection
51:49from the show creator himself.

52:05I watched the lead
52:12of the Crystal Gems
52:13Rose Quartz
52:14shatter
52:15Pink Diamond!
52:17It was believed
52:18that Rose Quartz,
52:19the loving leader
52:19of the Crystal Gems
52:20and Steven's mom,
52:22shattered Pink Diamond
52:23to protect Earth,
52:24with a few hints
52:25suggesting otherwise.
52:26It's because
52:27it doesn't make sense!
52:29In Season 5, however,
52:30we learn that Rose
52:31didn't shatter Pink Diamond.
52:33Rose was Pink Diamond.
52:34What?!
52:37She masqueraded
52:38as a Rose Quartz
52:39to spark up the rebellion,
52:41faked her own shattering
52:42to end the war,
52:43and forced Pearl
52:43to keep everything a secret.
52:45She lied to us!
52:47She lied about everything!
52:48While it's touching
52:49that Pink gave up
52:50her royal status
52:50and inspired countless gems
52:52to fight for Earth,
52:53she lied to her own allies,
52:55pulled everyone
52:55into the crossfire
52:56of her fellow Diamond's wrath,
52:58and called everything
52:59the Crystal Gems
53:00believed into question.
53:02So,
53:02Pink Diamond, huh?
53:06Did we miss
53:06any jaw-dropping twists?
53:08Let us know in the comments,
53:09but give a spoiler warning.
53:11I would love
53:11to have tons more adventures
53:13with the super-cool
53:14number one and his team,
53:15but I'm...
53:17just not a kid anymore.
53:19Thank you
53:21Bye.
53:26Bye.
53:30Bye.
53:31Bye.
53:33Bye-bye.
53:34Bye.
