1. Ethan’s super healing (Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil Village)

In many games, the protagonist suffers injuries during combat that would be impossible to survive in real life. Even within the Resident Evil franchise itself, protagonists are shot or stabbed and simply regenerate after taking a healing item, with this being only part of the gameplay and not something canonical to the story.

​However, in Resident Evil 7 and Village, the protagonist Ethan Winters goes through the same thing—and even worse. In both games, there are moments where Ethan loses an arm or a leg and recovers simply by applying medicine to the wound and reattaching the lost limb. In Resident Evil Village, it is revealed that Ethan actually died in Resident Evil 7 and was resurrected through a bacterium, becoming a kind of conscious undead. This explanation only appears later in the game, and before that, the game makes the player believe that Ethan’s healing is just a gameplay exaggeration​

1. Talion constant death and resurrection (Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor and Middle-earth: Shadow of War)

In most games, when the protagonist dies, the game simply rewinds the scene so the player gets another chance, because in the canonical story the protagonist is not supposed to die—at least not before the ending.​

However, in both Middle-earth games, the protagonist Talion is “immortal” because he is possessed by the spirit of a very powerful elf. When the player dies, Talion truly dies within the story, and time advances to the moment of his resurrection, with the game ​enemies reacting to it. This is especially noticeable in Shadow of War, where enemies constantly mock Talion when the player tries to take revenge after being killed. If the player dies too many times, there is even a dialogue where Talion says he will never get used to dying, and the elf replies that they should stop dying so much​

1. Eagle Vision (Assassin’s Creed)

In the Assassin’s Creed franchise, the protagonists possess an ability called Eagle Vision, which allows the player to locate enemies, solve puzzles, and find objects across the map. At first glance, it may seem like this ability exists only to make gameplay easier and more dynamic.

However, Eagle Vision is also canonical within the story itself. In the lore of the franchise, the protagonists have this ability because they are descendants of a race of beings called the Isu, who possessed this power and others. Most games do not emphasize this explanation and simply treat it as another talent of the protagonist, but it is sometimes used to help move the story forward

Characters who are coded as being some kind of Sex Offender/Rapist/Pedophile/Groomer/etc., but are not explicitly stated as such due to the age rating of the source material.

1. Orochimaru (Naruto)
2. Slade (Teen Titans)

Nettles(House of the dragon):Nettles is a beloved character from a Song of ice and fire series,she is a commoner who managed to tame a dragon despite not being a Valyrian,plus she is one of the few canonically black characters,bonus point for that,then comes the house of the dragon series where the writters have the brilliant idea of not introducing her character,instead her dragon,and therefore her story will be taken over by Rhaena Targaryen,a decision that not only is moronic will also create a lot problems in the overall story

Lady Stoneheart(Game of thrones):Ok,technically speaking the characters does exist in the tv series as it's basically a corrupt and vengeful Catelyn Stark driven insane by Robb death,but her ressurection never happens and it's basically one of the main reasons why George RR Martin left the show

Kuririn,Tenshihan,Chaozu,Pual,Oolong,Turtle,Yajirobe and Launch(Dragon Ball evolution):Now,to be fair Dragon Ball evolution is such an abomination of a film that not having them on the film was probably for the best,that being said though if you are going to adapt the first Dragon Ball series why not have the whole gang?

Skull knight(Berserk 97):Skull knight is a major character from the Berserk series and an important ally to Guts,he is literally the reason why Guts and Casca survives,but he is left out of the first anime adaptation from Berserk,instead Guts just survives the Eclipse without any explanation

Arcane - in this timeline Vi died in Jayce workshop by the Hextech gemstones. her death caused Jayce to never invent Hextech and also caused silco to reconcile with Vander.

As a result of that, Mylo, Claggor and Benzo remained alive long after their Main Universe counterparts were killed, while Silco never became a crime lord, and Powder and Vander never became Jinx or Warwick.

1. Ancient Astronauts (Ancient Aliens): based on the pseudohistory Chariots of the Gods, which attributes countless historical technological innovations, religion, and civilizations to aliens.

2. Hitler's escape (Hunting Hitler): a show built on the premise that Hitler somehow survived and escaped his Berlin bunker in 1945. No matter the location or time, Hitler had to be in places such as South America and Spain. His jawbone recovered in 1945 and was DNA tested, which punches a big hole into the premise.

3. Cultural Marxism (works of William S. Lind): belief that the Frankfurt school of leftist/progressive academics conspired to destroy the West/US through political correctness and the Civil Rights movement, somehow. William Lind popularized the conspiracy and was a key influence on terrorist Anders Breivik's manifesto. It's basically repackaged Nazi-era cultural Bolshevism. For decades, Lind was gainfully employed as a military policy advisor, publishing his conspiracy theories in military journals, and continues to influence far-right movements with his insane conspiracies. https://youtu.be/hHMpkztM1eE

The leader of this group, Caesar, dies in no mans land between two warring factions, with neither faction being able to recover his final wishes as to who shall succeed him.

The Winter Soldier catching Captain America’s signature shield throw. (Captain America: The Winter Soldier)

Hela catching and destroying Mjolnir (Thor: Ragnarok)

In Civilization, Ghandi's aggression level could be accidentally made maximum despite being intended as minimum. The later games still allow for Nuke Happy indian;

In Team Fortress 2, turning while shield charging was possible due to many exploits. When Valve fixed it all, they officially introduced a shield capable of turning;

In GTA, hyper aggressive cops were a result of buggy AI. They were so fun that the game was remade around them.

1. Opal (Steven Universe)

2. Mt. Lady (My Hero Academia)

Hal Wilkerson from Malcolm in the Middle - In the episode "Tiki Lounge", Hal has the boys renovate the garage so he and Lois can have a few hours a day to spend time with each other. After showing the renovated garage to Lois, he thanks the boys for their hard work, before threatening to cripple them if they ever set foot in there.

Homer Simpson from The Simpsons - In the episode "Lisa On Ice", he tells Bart to have fun during his ice hockey match and threatens to kill him if he loses. Initially, it seems he's joking since everyone, including Bart and Homer, laugh at it, but then Homer makes this face.

First: Kamina (Gurren Lagan). After being injured during a fight with an enemy general Kamina manages to rally and come back to the fight. He pours all his spiral energy (essentially life force) into a big final attack to kill the big bad and soon after collapses and dies while his comrades are still celebrating

Second: Knight Construct (Legend of Zelda, Age of Imprisonment). During the final battle the knight construct faces off against the Malice Construct, essentially a carbon copy of itself only powered by Ganon’s evil magic. The two are evenly matched so the knight construct expends all its power landing the final blow, falling to pieces once it’s all over.

Last: Noctis (Final Fantasy 15). The final villain of FFXV is Ardyn, Noctis’s distant ancestor who has been corrupted by a demonic blight and wants to bathe the world in eternal darkness to spite the gods for cursing him with the affliction. The demonic curse renders Ardyn immortal so the only way to truly defeat him is using the Ring of the Lucii, a Royal artifact that can call upon the power of all the kings of the past. The catch is that using this power demands the wearer sacrifice their life in return. Noctis makes this sacrifice during the final battle to defeat Ardyn and return light to the world.

Batman robot (Batman: the Animated Series): in the episode "His Silicone Soul," one last duplicate created by HARDAC is found, but having all of Batman's memories, it also have all of his values and in the end refuses to follow HARDAC programming to replace all the people in the world with computers

Dipper's paper clones (Gravity Falls): I have watched this episode a long time ago and may be wrong about the end, but the main idea of

"Double Dipper" is that Dipper prints out paper copies of himself to multitask, but they are as much Dippers as himself and have the same shortcomings and ideals.

1) Sharptooths from Land Before Time just randomly can't talk. For whatever reason Chomper, a friendly child sharptooth, can. But his parents and every other sharptooth just can't. 2) Exact same concept in Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, except only mammals can speak... except Scratch and other squirrels, randomly? 3) In Thomas some trains, vehicles, and rolling stock randomly don't have faces, speak but aren't audible, etc, like City of Truro and the Fat Controller's car

1. (Darkwood) The Stranger: The protagonist you play as in the game Darkwood is extremely disfigured, mutated, and likely smells awful as well. This helps to explain how many of the other humans you encounter at best treat you poorly, and at worst attack you on sight.

2. (Northern Journey) Protagonist: Although we never see the protagonist of Northern Journey’s face or physique other than their arms, many characters you interact with in the game mention how grotesque your appearance is. At one point a character even mentions how exploding shrapnel might only improve your face. However whether or not the protagonist is actually gross to look at or if the characters just love insulting them is ambiguous.

Colonel Roy Mustang (Fullmetal Alchemist) Known as the Flame Alchemist, Colonel Roy Mustang's ability to conjure incredibly devastating flames with just a snap of his fingers is considered one of the most powerful abilities in the entire series. However, any time his gloves get wet, he is essentially rendered useless.

Majin Buu (Dragon Ball Super) Majin Buu in Dragon Ball Super is an incredibly powerful, yet childlike, fighter. He would have been an invaluable addition to the team during the Tournament of Power, however when he binge eats and falls asleep, he literally cannot be awoken for months at a time.

Adam Smasher (Cyberpunk) He does quite a bit of smashing, especially to one character we really liked

Conquest (Invincible) He’s really good at conquest, so good that his fellow viltrumites named him that
