I keep seeing it on my random feed suggestions and this is using NewPipe, so it has nothing to do with my actual YouTube activity (I think. Nothing there is stuff I’m interested in, with very few exceptions). So I’ve ignored it first, then I watched like two and was super confused. Wtf. These videos have millions of views and I don’t even understand the name or what’s the appeal.

      The episodes are fairly short, a few minutes at most, so it was maybe an hour or two (?), not a huge commitment, just sitting with my son watching what he’s watching. I’ve probably barely scratched the surface of it. Some recent stuff I saw lately was some sort of Clock people that can rewind time and you’ve got weird things with parasite skibidis that can control the electronics people. Shit is weird, but, at a basic level, I think it’s still in line with stuff like the Transformers cartoons. Raising the stakes to introduce new powers/characters. I’m actually surprised there isn’t any action figure marketing for this out there yet (not that I’ve seen). Amazon has some pretty shitty merch available that’s probably just been made by chinese knock-off companies.
