I swear that stuff sounds like if I were to watch more of them, they'd be on a scale from somewhat decent-okay-OH GOD THIS IS BAD. Same with the MCU movies, especially the recent ones.
I don't feel like any of the Phase 4 MCU films were as mediocre as Thor the Dark World or the first Captain America movie(sorry but that film just didn't do much for me, sequels were far superior if you ask me). Speaking of Marvel though I just found out there was a Disney animated series based on the Marvel comics Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur. I actually stumbled onto it when I was looking for something else. I heard basically zero promotion for that show so I was surprised to find out it had two seasons already.
I saw very basic promotion for the MGaDD when it came out, some Youtubers praised it, and then it just...died? Like everything went bizarrely cold silent on the show. Very strange. Maybe a Disney+ attempt to cut advertising costs, or a scheme to quickly get it out and then sell it off later? I feel the show is almost worth watching based on the animation alone!

I have no recollection of Journey to the center of the Earth coming out in 2008. It’s the kind of movie that would appeal to me, so I’m not sure why this totally slipped under my radar. I never heard of it until the sequel came out in 2012.

I vaguely remember the hype around it's 3-D. For another 2008 film i'm going to say the Clone Wars movie, that seemingly came out of nowhere for me.

In 2020, Netflix was going to release this preschool show called Wonderoos, but it got shelved. Imagine my surprise when I'm watching a VeggieTales video on YouTube one day and saw a video of the show about telling the truth in the recommendations. I was surprised that it finally got rescued.
On another note, recently, some voice actor whose name I forgot died, and I was checking what he worked on when I see a He-Man series I wasn't aware of on his filmography. Nobody talked about it on my Twitter, where I learn about most of the hot animated shows. I click on the article, and it had premiered a few months prior.
I was surprised to learn a few years ago that there was actually a live-action film based off Rocky and Bullwinkle before the 2000 theatrical movie-in the early 90s there was a film centering around Boris and Natasha which was apparently originally meant to go to theaters but it did so badly in test screenings that it got cancelled and ended up premiering as a TV movie instead and I think it only came out on home video overseas? Though it is finally on streaming now: www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/amzn1.dv.gti.bea9f77f-1ee5-3247-6871-c08522ea4e0a?autoplay=0&ref_=atv_cf_strg_wb
Also was surprised to find out there was an animated movie based on the Image Comic series Gen 13 but it only ever came out on home video in Australia back in 2000 and ONLY on VHS to boot, it's like they were actively trying to bury that film which is a shame because it's pretty damn good, makes me wish there were more animated films like that one. Fortunately the whole thing is on Youtube now.
I also remember looking up Filmation producers on IMDB about a decade ago and found out about an unreleased project from them called Robin and the Dreamweavers, imagine my shock when I found out it had somehow gotten leaked not too long ago and it was far better then I expected it to be.

I heard of the Boris and Natasha film on Wikipedia. It was a related article to the Dudley Do-Right movie.
Here is 10 pieces of media that came out that I'm not aware of.
I remember when the infamous (infamous as in "The Last of Us: Part 2" won half the awards) 2020 Game Awards happened, they announced a anime adaptation of "Ark: Survival Evolved" with a impressive trailer and a 2022 premiere window to boot. No news of it since and it completely skipped the 2022 premiere window. It was until earlier this year when I checked on 4chan and a thread on the "Ark: Survival Evolved" anime was one of the first things I saw, saying that it's available on Paramount Plus when it dropped on there. I didn't know that the "Ark" anime was completed and premiered on Paramount Plus without any hype.
"Jellystone" later on was one of the few examples where even WBD didn't promote much. This is especially in season 3's case, where it seems that even the marketing for the final season was non-existent. I first heard of season 3 of "Jellystone" when a few clips were uploaded on YouTube. That's how I encountered the 3rd season, outside the fact that a major crossover series finale special featuring Cartoon Network characters is coming out soon!
A super recent release (having been out for nearly two weeks), I feel like "Astro Bot" just came out of nowhere as Sony just put it out for the kiddos, while bigger games were already hyped up like crazy. A game with a potential mascot, who have appeared in other games in the series before this, teaming up with other bots based off of other Playstation games, even Crash Bandicoot despite not owning the rights to the character anymore, didn't give off any hype compare to "Stellar Blade" because it's more of a kids game. After seeing some videos on my YouTube feed, it seems like I've knew less about a kids video game than I was hoping for.
"The Fairly Oddparents: A New Wish" is another example where a leaked episode broked me hard that I didn't know it was coming out until Nickelodeon ran a promo for the series weeks ahead of the premiere. I remembered when it was first leaked back last year, when Nickelodeon was going to premiere the series on Netflix. The multiple leaks we got afterwards made me believe that a continuation of a childhood series is going to be as worse as "The Fairly Oddparents: Fairly Odder" (both shows were in production at the same time). I didn't sat down and watch an episode of "FOP: A New Wish" yet, but I heard relatively good things about the series, so I might give it a chance one day.
On the topic of Nickelodeon shows, "Star Trek Prodigy" season 2 is an example where Netflix didn't even hype up the season at all. Netflix nor Nickelodeon and Paramount didn't do any promotional material whatsoever and just dropped the second season without warning. I sometimes go to the Watch Cartoon Online subreddit as sometimes, streaming it there tends to buffer the episode your watching. Imagine my surprise when this thread mentioned the existence of season 2 of "Star Trek Prodigy"! The last I heard of season 2, was when Netflix picked up the series after being removed and cancelled by Paramount Plus. I guess Netflix didn't even care about a kids cartoon based off of one of the most popular sci-fi franchises of all time.
It felt like yesterday when Disney's "Artemis Fowl" adaptation was going to come out in theaters before the pandemic happened. The fact that Disney dropped the film onto Disney Plus is what made me forgot it existed. And even then, why did it took so long to even give "Artemis Fowl" a movie adaptation that late into the game?
"Total Drama Island (2023)" is a weird example where I got super excited and realized that we Americans didn't get the series until just a few months ago. I only known about it's existence on the airwaves because the series first aired internationally and 4chan sometimes does threads of the series.
Ditto that to "The Heroic Quest of the Valiant Prince Ivandoe". Most parts of the world premiered it, but here in the States, we waited till November of last year to even see it. I basically saw a promo for the Canadian premiere of it and that's the first bit of footage I heard of it's existence.
I actually thought the Max "Gremlins" prequel series got Zazlav'd. But it managed to premiere either way and received invisible advertising when it came out despite it being in production between the WarnerMedia era and Warner Bros. Discovery era. Strange, since it's based off of a nostalgic 80's movie and is one of the launch shows of the newly-named Max streaming service. But, it's popular enough to receive a second season because Warner Bros renewed it 3 years before it even came out. Too bad it might be the last season.
Apparently, I'm not aware that "Once Upon a Time" (the french educational cartoon, not the ABC drama series) got a new series last year until I was fumbling around Google Lens and there it was.
I don't feel like any of the Phase 4 MCU films were as mediocre as Thor the Dark World or the first Captain America movie(sorry but that film just didn't do much for me, sequels were far superior if you ask me). Speaking of Marvel though I just found out there was a Disney animated series based on the Marvel comics Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur.

Maybe a Disney+ attempt to cut advertising costs, or a scheme to quickly get it out and then sell it off later? I feel the show is almost worth watching based on the animation alone!
That, and the fact Disney did the most weirdest thing with their Disney Channel series as of late. Disney does hour-long premiere blocks for their shows. Usually, this happens with a series premiere event where they can show a "hour-long series premiere event" where sometimes, we get 2 episodes back-to-back. However, since the advent of Disney Plus, newer series and seasons, as of late, would drop on to D+ a day after the Disney Channel/Disney XD premiere, leading to most of the newer shows and some seasons made after 2021 to burn off 2 episodes per week in a hour format. "Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur" was like this with most of season 1 and currently all of season 2 (for now) unfortunately. And not just that series. A majority of "Hamster and Gretal" season 1 was like this, and now, so does season 2. Most of "Hailey's on it!" was just burn off premieres. "Monsters at Work", considering it's a Disney Plus series for the first season, ends up being burned off in it's second season. Ditto that to "The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder" and "Chip and Dale: Park Life" despite both premiering first on Disney Plus in 2021, can still apply for these 2 shows. "Kiff" was burned off like this, "Zombies: The Re-Animated Series" was burned off like this, and even the infamous "Primos" is currently getting burned off like this. Not even their live action shows can save themselves from the terrible burn offs, as "Ultra Violet and Black Scorpion", "Villains of Valley View", "Saturdays", "Pretty Freekin' Scary" and even the last half of "Bunk'd" were taking affect of this. "StuGo" might even burn off 2 episodes an hour per week as well now that I think about it. Now, this isn't a problem with "Big City Greens" and "Amphibia", as both series had daily premieres during the Summer of 2018 and 2019 respectively. It was just that Matt Braly disliked the fact that Disney burn off premieres of "Amiphibia" on a daily basis during that Summer, as the series was supposed to be serial and should be shown weekly.
Now I'm fearing that "Phineas and Ferb" season 5 and "Wizards Beyond Waverly Place" will also have back-to-back premieres per week as well, especially with the latter being more serial than the former.

Speaking of anime I was completely caught off guard by the premiere of the Rick and Morty anime, I vaguely remembered hearing about it's announcement and then completely put it out of my mind until seeing it had come out.
I had no clue there even was a Gremlins prequel until now. Speaking of TV shows based off horror franchises centered around cute but dangerous creatures I was quite surprised to find out that Critters not only got a sequel in 2019 but a web TV series as well.
Also was surprised when we got a new Doom movie a few years ago and a new Children of the Corn sequel and another remake.
Agreed on Artemis Fowl, didn't hate the movie but it was probably lucky that it didn't go to theaters as i'm pretty sure it would've flopped big time if it as like you said it was way too late in the game for a film adaptation of a book series whose popular heyday was in the 2000s and maybe early 10s if we're being generous.

I also noticed that for shows airing on Disney Channel sometimes the episodes would randomly appear early on Plus before they aired on TV, I saw that happen with several episodes of Raven's Home. Speaking of which I have to wonder how Disney is going to treat the planned spin-off of that show-Alice in the Palace centered around Raven's cousin Alice, in the last season there was a two-part premiere Prince and the Pauper story-line(though in this case it was Princess and the Pauper) where Alice traded places with a royal young girl in England that looks exactly like her and this new show is supposed to have Alice going back to England and doing more switching shenanigans, I wonder if it will get the burn-off treatment as well.

The ARK show actually did premier, at least the first six episodes, on Amazon not too long ago! They tweeted a promo and then nothing since, though a few Discord servers I'm in were very hype about it LOL
ETA: FOPANW is actually SUPREMELY good, definitely recommend y'all watch it! Lots of fun callbacks and they take the lore and continuity more seriously than the original series did. :3
I was pretty surprised when that remake of ActRaiser was announced.
It's a good game, but the reason I thought we'd probably never see anything from it again was that the developer (Quintet) and its president (Tomoyoshi Miyazaki) just kind of disappeared. The last game they released was in 2002, but nothing happened after that. There wasn't a merger. Nobody announced that they'd bought Quintet. There as no record (at least not in English) of a bankruptcy or dissolution of the company. Nothing. They just stopped updating their website one day. This meant that who held the rights to ActRaiser and the rest of their library was a matter of speculation. Enix published ActRaiser and many other Quintet games, so many of us wondered if maybe Square Enix now held the rights to their library (or at least those of the Enix-published games), but that was pretty much just speculation. Even now, with this Square Enix-developed and published remake, nobody outside of that company knows for sure if they had the rights to do it, they managed to track down Miyazaki, or if they just threw caution to the wind and released it anyway.
Speaking of anime I was completely caught off guard by the premiere of the Rick and Morty anime, I vaguely remembered hearing about it's announcement and then completely put it out of my mind until seeing it had come out.
