Does this to you
Just saw a post on Instagram about how it's a good thing most YouTubers that are popular aren't villains and that gave me ideas so here's what I've got
Hero group:
Milo Rossi - debunker and government hater,
Pirate software - military hacker and group leader,
Brian David Gilbert - collector of knowledge and spell caster/vampire
Main antagonistic villain group:
Name: the Paradox Association
PBS space time - violates physical laws,
stand up maths - violates mathematical laws,
Veritasium - spell caster and leader of the group,
3b1b - actually a sentient computer program,
Vsauce - joker of the group,
Hank green - lex Luthor of the group
Villains of the week:
Usually summoned by the Paradox association
McNally - rouge thief marksman,
Nilered - mad chemist,
Rainbolt - assassin who stalks social medias,
Jerma - riddler or some form of lizard person,
Combo class - mathematically perfect arsonist,
Alan becker - has electrokinesis and stick figure minions,
Wintergatan - musical mad man and inventor of clockwork beings,
Action lab - bombs,
Honorable mentions for people I was too tired to come up with powers for but would be villains:
Sabine hossenfelder,
Douglas Douglas,
Numberphile,
Probably some of those Minecraft YouTubers but I don't watch any

Action Lab has resurfaced following allegations of non-payment and ghosting...but their PRINCELESS FCBD book is just as controversial.
Hey, it’s me Jeremy, checking in to show you this article about all the messed up stuff that’s happening with Princeless courtesy of Action Lab. I have several volumes written of rebellious princesses and lesbian pirate romance, but none of that can happen until all of this is cleared up. The article linked gives it some more context, but here’s the press release I had to send out today:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PRINCELESS CREATORS SPEAK OUT AGAINST ACTION LAB FREE COMIC BOOK DAY OFFERING
12/12/2022
It has come to our attention through the excitement of our fans that there is “brand new” Princeless material being offered by Action Lab Comics for Free Comic Book Day. To say that this is a surprise to us is perhaps an understatement.
The creators of Princeless (Jeremy and Emily) are currently in a protracted legal battle with Action Lab regarding a number of issues that we feel should have voided our publishing contract with Action Lab. As detailed in the original complaint, these issues range from non-payment of royalties, late payment of artists, late delivery of books to the distributor, and Action Lab completely shutting down business and payments for a large chunk of 2020 without informing us or other creators. Jeremy and Emily have currently stopped working on Princeless and have not received any request to approve or finalize comics pages for a Free Comic Book Day release, nor have they approved any new work to be published in a format such as this which would not offer royalties or recompense to the creative team.
This is the latest in Action Lab’s continued policy of putting their personal profits before creators and we strongly disapprove.
Perhaps even more worrying is Action Lab’s claim in their Previews solicitation that this is meant to “kick off the tenth volume.” Not only was this done without our approval, but the team has only finished the first issue of the volume and the implication that the rest of this volume is coming soon is misleading to retailers, consumers, and the distributor. Those books have not been drawn and Action Lab has not attempted to settle our current legal issues in any meaningful way. The only possible explanations are that either Action Lab is trying to force the creative team into feeling pressured by the expectations of our fans and community or that Action Lab means to continue the book without us. We are not okay with either of these instances and we do not think the fans of Princeless will be either.
Princeless was never a cash cow, but that was never what it was about. It was about creating an important comic with a message that we could be proud of and the stories we wanted young comic fans to read. It is also important to create the book under ethical work practices where freelancers can expect the pay they are promised in a timely and uncomplicated fashion. Until this legal issue is settled, we would ask that Princeless fans not support this Free Comic Book Day book and that they make their voices heard to Action Lab, their retailers, and their distributors.
Thank you and we look forward to bringing this book to you in the future under better circumstances,
The Princeless Creative Team

Action Lab’s scummy behavior and utter disrespect toward creatives continues. Let your local comic shop know that you won’t be picking up any of Action Lab’s FCBD offerings; it might save them a little money (shops have to pay for the “free” comics and for shipping) and it’ll give Action Lab less publicity.
idk what is this
