On August 25th, 1997, GoldenEye 007 was released for the Nintendo 64 in North America - and friendships everywhere were torn apart by Oddjob.
Video game censorship in Germany is a big deal, but the ways in which games are censored are often surprising. In this video we talk about games such as Wolfenstein, Indiana Jones, Half-Life, Soldier of Fortune II, Call of Duty: World at War, DooM, Saints Row: The Third, Command & Conquer: Generals, and Grand Theft Auto. From blood and violence, to references to World War 2- the changes may not always be surprising, but they're always strange.
Most of the time, sex scenes in movies are meant to be exciting... but sometimes, they're horrifying. NSFW warning on this one, broh. Today's video includes scenes from movies such as David Cronenberg's Crash, the Adrien Brody movie Splice, a bunch of zombie movies like Dead Snow 2, Southland Tales, and, of course, Brain Damage. We also talk about Peter Jackson's Braindead (also known as Dead Alive), Rick and Morty, Hatchet 2, and a few other gross things!
The Justice League may have "justice" in their name, but that doesn't mean they haven't gone overboard. Batman has his "one rule," and the rest of the members tend to agree to a no kill policy, but they've still aced a ton of dudes over the course of the years. From Superman finally zapping Lex Luthor, to Aquaman killing his brother in cold blood, to Hawkgirl mercy-killing Solomon Grundy, Cartoon Network's Justice League was filled with many dark moments of death and murder.
All of your favorite Disney movies started way different than they wound up. Zootopia, Lion King, Toy Story, Aladdin, and Lilo and Stitch all started as immensely different movies. This early versions were corrected, altered, and sometimes censored to become the theatrical versions that we all know and love today.
It's hard to know where to draw the line with kids cartoons on Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon, but sometimes you favorite shows go far over the line for what is typically considered appropriate for children. From the Powerpuff girls to Transformers, Sam and Max to The Chipettes- inappropriate, dirty jokes will slip past the censors.
It doesn't even look like the same show. Tons of anime shows look different when they go from TV to Blu-Ray. Dragonball Super is the most common example, but don't forget about Mekakucity Actors, Berserk, and Ore Twintail ni Narimasu. Terra Formars has some odd censorship choices, and even shows like Nisekoi have some WTF changes that will leave you confused.
The Crystal Gems will always save the day, and if you think they can't... you're probably a censor. Pearl, Garnet, Amethyst and Steven constantly stand up for truth and justice, but that hasn't kept them from being censored from time to time. Dirty jokes have been removed, references to boogers have inexplicably vanished, and worst of all, other countries have removed scenes that imply same-sex relationships.

Pregnancies never end well in the Marvel universe.
It's not just the laser backpack and giant flesh blob.
Reboots, retcons, and resets, oh my!
Money. Awards. And yes, memes.
Because a live-action Boomhauer just wouldn't be the same.
Fast zombies, slow zombies, viral zombies, zombie dogs: there's truly a zombie for everyone.
Wizards of the Coast can even make walls scary.
Marvel fans, just remember it can always get weirder.
Because sometimes you'd just rather turn people into dinosaurs.
We take a logical, by-the-numbers approach that is definitely not going to make fans mad.
