Title Card for the Series

While developing this article for the series, I noticed that someone added the thumbnail from the 3rd episode. I was thinking adding a title card from either of these websites below, but I can't decide which one is better, or under what liscene either of them have so we can use them fairly:

Reception - Sources

I was looking at the sources for the reception section of the article, and I noticed that they weren't very good. The first source in that section is a random Medium article, which is a blog platform anyone can write on. The second source is an article from a high school newspaper. We probably need to replace these sources or remove this section entirely, considering neither of these sources are reliable. Surfinsi (talk) 16:52, 16 March 2026 (UTC)

Kane Parsons's name and the other 2 videos

1. The other 2 videos that are in Kane's official YouTube playlist for the series but keep getting removed and then re-added in this article. Reasoning given is that these aren't "main" videos (/episodes) and that they merely reference or pay tribute to the series. But even if they were completely unrelated in content, if the creator lists them in the series then he believes it's included. I don't think it's up to Wikipedia editors to decide whether an "episode" is important enough to recognize. It should be neutral, objective, encyclopedic documentation (descriptive > prescriptive).

2. I think Kane Parsons's name should be formatted as such, rather than Kane Parsons'. This is in line with a (admittedly non-universal) punctuation rule of possessive pronouns, especially of people's names, having an s at the end to reflect its pronunciation more naturally. If there were multiple Kane Parsons (plural) then it would be Kane Parsons', like "the buskers' money". This seems to be the general Wikipedia convention (though apparently there is no formal side taken about it in documentation) as well as formatting style guides like The Chicago Manual of Style, The MLA Style Manual, and The New York Times. It's also consistent with the way his name is formatted on other articles, which may be more important (internal consistency), whichever is decided on. Wahalo (talk) 09:11, 14 June 2026 (UTC)

Background Details of Development

Would it be better if we were to add the history of the Valley View Mall and/or its "Parade of Giants" event in 2012 as to make this the "background" part of this article's development section? Chadalvarez2021 (talk) 15:45, 29 July 2026 (UTC)
