(note: I revisited José's piece while editing this one & realised there's more common ground here than I'd remembered. I think most of this is parallel thinking - getting to a similar place from different starting points only really reinforces that it's the right place to be - but I think it's right to acknowledge here that I had seen & enjoyed José's video months ago, and that it very possibly influenced the way I came at this project.)

Everyone seems to be talking about 'slop content'. But what is slop, and why is it bad? Might it be as bad for the slop producer as the slop consumer? That's what this video is about.

P.S. I discuss David Thorpe as the originator of the Earth-616 type designations. It should be noted that these designations first appeared in an issue written by Alan Moore (after he'd taken over from Thorpe on Captain Britain). That being said, per Thorpe, he'd created the idea & floated it internally before leaving.

(Description topline is from the song 'Reality' by David Bowie)
In The Fall Guy, after leaving the business one year earlier, battle-scarred stuntman Colt Seavers springs back into action when the star of a big studio movie suddenly disappears. As the mystery surrounding the missing actor deepens, Colt soon finds himself ensnared in a sinister plot that pushes him to the edge of a fall more dangerous than any stunt.

Robert Allen 'Bob' Iger is an American media business executive who serves as Chief Executive Officer of The Walt Disney Company. He previously served as the President of ABC between 1994 and 1995 and as president and chief operating officer of Capital Cities/ABC, from 1995 until its acquisition by Disney in 1996.
I should also clarify that this video was written with the show's initial run in mind. That's not to say that what I raise _only_ applies to seasons one through three - just that these were the parts of the show I focused on here, for reasons I expect are obvious.

Yet Kamala feels like she doesn’t fit in at school and sometimes even at home—that is, until she gets super powers like the heroes she’s always looked up to.

10:23 Conclusion
Ahsoka, also known as Star Wars: Ahsoka, is an American television miniseries created and written by Dave Filoni for Disney+. It is part of the Star Wars franchise and a spin-off from the series The Mandalorian (2019–present), taking place in the same timeframe as that series and its other interconnected spin-offs after the events of Return of the Jedi (1983), while also serving as a continuation to the animated series Star Wars Rebels (2014–2018). The series follows Ahsoka Tano as she investigates an emerging threat to the galaxy following the fall of the Empire. Baylan Skoll is lightsaber-wielding mercenary for hire overseeing his apprentice Shin Hati. But make no mistake: although there was a time when Skoll knew the acclaimed Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, Baylan is no Jedi.
