The Dragon Prince Season 6: Heartfelt, Heartache, And (Escalating) Drama

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

This video is my overall review and reaction to season 6 of The Dragon Prince.

This show has done plenty to captivate me since it first debuted. And the past two seasons have done plenty to move the story forward while deepening the mystery surrounding Aaravos.

But season 6 raised the stakes in a major way. Hard choices were made. Heavy losses were felt. And while the Callum/Rayla romance deepened, there’s a growing sense that it’s building towards something dramatic.

It was still my favorite season to date. But it left me wanting so much more. Enjoy!

That 70s Show: How I Came To Respect Red Forman

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

This video revisits That 70s Show. It’s a show I loved as a teenagers, but came to see differently as an adult. And a big reason for that difference is because of Red Forman.

For years, he was the antagonist of the show. He was the main obstacle for Eric, Donna, and the rest of the crew. And for a long time, he really did come off as a cranky old kill-joy.

But now, after revising the show years later, I see Red differently. And I see the main crew differently. That difference says a lot about me, personally. It also says a lot about how the show has aged and evolved.

Thought Experiment: How Much Power Can One Person Effectively Wield?

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

This video is another thought experiment about the nature of power and wielding it effectively. Whether in ancient times or during a modern day election season, people seek power and they seek to wield it. The extent to which they’re effective tends to vary wildly.

But that raises an important question. Just how much power can one person effectively wield?

The implications of this question are far-reaching. Our society needs people in power to run effectively. But what is the limit? And how do we navigate it? I welcome any additional insights or thoughts. Enjoy!

Jack’s Comic Gems | King In Black

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

This is video another entry in my ongoing “Jack’s Comic Gems” collection. And this particular comic is essentially a case study in just how great a modern comic book crossover event can be. “King In Black” might as an event centered on Eddie Brock and Venom. And while they are certainly part of it, this story is so much bigger than that.

It’s a dark, but beautiful display of superhero worldbuilding and epic battles featuring the god of all symbiotes, Knull. The stakes couldn’t be higher, personally and globally in King In Black. And it’s one of those unique events that shows just what Marvel can be at its best. Enjoy!

Invincible: The Trauma of Being A Superhero

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

This video is a lengthy, but in depth discussion about being a superhero and the trauma that comes with it. Few franchises or characters dare to explore it. But Invincible, both the comic and the TV show, dare to demonstrate in brutal detail just how traumatic being a hero can be.

There’s a lot to be said about the unique heroic journey of Mark Grayson, Atom Eve, and even Omni-Man. But I contend that the trauma of being a hero and doing the right thing is the connective tissue that makes this story so powerful. Enjoy!
