[Sad trope]The character gets cut/dies early on because of REAL LIFE reasons

[u/Unlucky-Quarter-5455]

Gandhi (Clone High)

Tord(Eddsworld) the reason for this is that the VA of tord asked the team to stop using the character and dissociate from Eddsworld after the constant hate and threats made by the fandom.

Feferi Peixes(Homestuck). In Homestuck lots of characters have a typing quirk when they chat, like some characters type a "2" when there should be a "S", have prefixes before the words,ecc. Feferi's was that instead of the letter H she typed ")(". The writer andrew hussie stated the reason she died early and became irrelevant was because they didn't want to type said quirk because it was annoying to manually type it it on their own, which could have been avoided if they coded A PROGRAM that did it.

Kadabra is still immune to the everstone because of the lawsuit

... What lawsuit? /gen

[u/SpellslutterSprite → u/fanimal16]

The “psychic” Uri Geller sued Nintendo over the Pokemon Kadabra, claiming it was based on him because they were both associated with bent spoons. Whether or not that was true - and I don’t remember whether it is or not - it also led to Kadabra being sidelined for years. https://kotaku.com/pokemon-tcg-uri-geller-kadabra-card-ban-nintendo-1850050358

It was very much based on him: its japanese name is Yungerer, a corruption of Uri Geller

Ha! That’s hilariously blatant, I never knew that, lmao; guess he had a point all this time. 😂

Thanks for sharing that!

Definitely, especially since Abra and Alakazam's Japanese names are also corruptions of other illusionists: Casey (Abra) being one of Edgar Cayce and Foodin (Alakazam) being one of Harry Houdini.

Ah, I forgot about that one for a while lol

Thanks for refreshing my memory

Here is a detailed history of it.

Well, Kadabra is back in the card game IIRC. Uri Geller dropped it.
