Why It Was Cancelled
- There is a bit of strong language.
- Overall, the draft is darker than the final cut and it had on-screen deaths, and was definitely going for a PG-13 or an R rating.
- Good Morning America did a segment on SML and stated that YouTube is not doing enough to prevent inappropriate family-oriented content like SML from being viewed by kids, even though SML is not actually aimed at kids but rather has mostly a teen and adult audience and has a large pre-teen following. In interviews, kids admitted they were aware the videos were inappropriate. Most parents stated that the channel should be eliminated from YouTube due to kids watching inappropriate content, despite SML not being kid-friendly. Later, the segment was uploaded separately to GMA's YouTube channel. Logan's fans immediately hated the video currently holding a roughly 1-to-10 like-to-dislike ratio, and defended him in the comments.
- Some of the cast still hate each other today and are barely performing on screen together. (Lovell Stanton with Elaina Keyes and Anthony Miller; and Chilly Jiminez with Keyes)
- Series creator, Logan Thirtyacre keeps getting demonetized on YouTube.
- Budget problems during the production.
- The film would be aged badly due to adding new characters and changing the main characters (Mario, Bowser, Bowser Junior, Cody and Joseph.) From plushies to human version puppets while other characters (Black Yoshi, Shrek, Woody, Rosalina etc.) haven’t upgraded into puppets yet.
- Not only the Adpocalypse affected the film, but also affected by Federal Trade Commission‘s Children‘s Online Privacy Protection Act, which was created in 1998 and effected in 2000. Due to YouTube violating the law, They were sued for $170 million from FTC. On November 12th 2019, the new policy was added to YouTube Creator Studio, if a channel chooses an option of the channel’s demographic for children, YouTube would remove features such as comments, notification of a new video, being recommended, being searchable, community tab, stories, info card, end title, and personalized ads. That YouTube cut to 90% loss revenue, making less money to support the film’s budget. If the channel choose the option of the channel’s demographic not for children, but rather target for adult and teenage audience but incorrectly that wasn’t made for children, YouTube would've paid a fine of $42,530 per video. This policy would effect by January 1st 2020. Logan promised that the film would released in 2019, but it’s unlikely will released due to the new changes to YouTube.
- According to Chilly’s Tweet, Logan was “too scared” to announce the film’s cancellation, other wise, the fans would be upset, and harassed him if he did. Instead, they decided that fans would forget about the film’s existence.
