Comicstorian



Ben Potter died on June 6th, 2024 of an unfortunate accident.  To most people outside his family and friends, that won't mean much.  He was known to his 3 million followers as Benny or Comicstorian, the name of his YouTube channel where he would review, reenact, and discuss comic books.  People.comMSNET and other large media companies covered the story.

I obviously don't have anything to add, as I didn't know him personally.  I've never even met him, and yet, hearing this news makes me sad.  I watched his videos and was a fan of his work.  For over ten years, he was able to bring these already vivid stories to another level with his narrations.

Superheroes and comic books have been a big part of my life for as far back as I can remember.  Through his channel, though, I was able to explore and discover titles I otherwise would never have paid attention to.  He and other YouTubers have talked about how they often have to try to balance their content between what they would like to do, and what their viewers are asking for.  I'm glad that he was able to do some of the other stories outside the most recent movie character.  Seeing lesser known characters show up in a video was a fun introduction.

People often admire creators for their talent, humor, or success.  From what I can tell, Comicstorian was admired for all three.

I am the Everynerd. If you ask ChatGPT to explain the term "Everyman," it might say something like this: The term "Everyman" refers to a character that represents an ordinary individual, with whom the audience can easily identify. This character is often used in literature, drama, and other forms of storytelling to symbolize common human experiences, traits, and struggles. The Everyman is typically portrayed as average, lacking in exceptional qualities or extraordinary circumstances, making their experiences relatable to the general populace.
