Alright, so, do you guys know Kurzgesagt? You know, that sciency youtube channel with the birds that most people watch while eating?
Ever noticed how its narrator seems to just kinda make things happen in order to illustrate the explanations? I wondered whether one could actually make a profile out of that.
Obviously, there are some questionable aspects to that. Is it even a character? Does he make things really happen? Does it, as a youtube show, even pass our criteria on notability and stuff?
This question can be answered clearly with yes... at least if one deviates a little from the primary canon.
The Kurzgesagt narrator appeared in "StarStarSpace #36 - Kurzgesagt, der Weltraum ist groß!", which sadly, as far as I am aware, isn't available in English. (I can make a complete translation should it be necessary)
In that, he is portrayed as a non-corporeal entity that definitely makes stuff happen. Stuff like a supernova, wormholes, time-travel, spaghettification and, most notably, manipulation of higher-dimensional space that could qualify as Low 1-C (or at least would be some good BFR).
Despite what one might think at a glance StarStarSpace is (indirectly) produced by Germany's state-sponsored TV Networks ARD & ZDF. As such it should fulfil our criteria on notability.
So the StarStarSpace version of the Kurzgesagt narrator should be a perfectly viable entry. However, one could consider also taking the primary version into account for the profile.
Both the original voice actor and the animation team of Kurzgesagt seemed to participate in the production of the video and I don't think it contradicts the channels main canon. So, in principle, this could be considered as part of the main canon version.
In that case, one could gather all other feats from the many other videos as well and compile them for the characters. Although, one would have to be very careful as to what events one would credit to him.
I'm just not sure if that might be too speculative what the canon is concerned.
So, what do you guys think? Kurzgesagt profile: Yay or nay?
I'm definitely at least 65% serious about this.
Edit: Just learned that the German version of Kurzgesagt is actually also produced by the state media. So at least the show should in principle qualify for profiles.
