Unlike All There in the Manual, however, this new information is not released as Word of God with the intention of being added to the Canon. These elements are only What Could Have Been but never were and never will be part of the story proper. Some may quickly find a home in Fan Work. Many fans love hearing the possible paths their favorite story could have taken... even while breathing a sigh of relief (or feeling disappointed) that they ultimately didn't come to be. This can also refer to a Sequel Hook that never got a payoff, alternate casts or directors, or even tantalizing news that the entire story was completely different from the one we all know, when it was first conceived. --- Khal Kirby, warlord of the Super Star Khalasar PSN/Steam: CheddarBBQ https://goo.gl/Diw2hs ...

What If (Marvel)
Hexagon (Power Rangers) - Instead of Ninja Storm, we'd have two opposing factions of Rangers, one led by Tommy (a year before he became Dino Thunder mentor) and the other Jason, building off of Forever Red.

Epilogue from La La Land
This is undoubtedly the best example. The only other one that even comes to mind is that episode of Batman TAS, where Batgirl dies and Batman becomes a fugitive. If that counts, make that as my 2nd vote, btw. --- SeabassDebeste BK_Sheikah00 Grand_Kirby WAY TO GO THERE BOIYS, GOOD GAMEFAQS BOYS ... Copied to Clipboard!

I would like to give some honorable mentions too because this is a pretty interesting "trope".
The RE series is honestly the king of what-ifs. RE Portable, George Romero's film adaptation, the original Revelations trailer which suggested a much different story than we got. The amount of RE4 pre-release versions alone probably gives the series the most what-ifs ever. The original Overwatch roster is very intriguing, especially JETPACK CAT. How's about the original un-cut version of Event Horizon? or Alfred Hitchcock's Kaleidoscope? So many unreleased games or games in development hell too; Guillermo del Toro's UnSane, Two Days to Vegas, Rockstar's Agent, 100 Bullets, the list could go on! --- If the suspense doesn't kill you, something else will! http://tinyurl.com/zqwzc9a - https://imgur.com/a/OcdhKKR ...

Ed Edd n' Eddy's Big Picture Show
Many scenes from the movie were deleted and cut down to save time. These include the following: 1. We would finally learn about the "Dodgeball Incident" 2. Alternate endings involving the police arresting Eddy's Brother. They were cut because the writers weren't sure on how to build the scene without the physical appearance of the cops, and having the kids say what the cops told them would be a cheat. ...
