Star Wars is set in a remote galaxy where a civil war is taking place. Rebels, led by Princess Leia, are fighting against a baddy called Darth Vader and his Imperial forces. Leia steals some Imperial blueprints for a deadly weapon called the Death Star but she is then captured by Imperial forces so...

.. yes, text is great, but video can, too, be great, whether it's explaining something fictional or not. Different strokes for different folks.

I think the parent is more frustrated by videos that drag on for 10 minutes before getting to the meat of the content.

Kind of weird to put the comment on this one then, since it's edited so tightly.

I would expect such a comment to be attached either when the commenter has watched the video and it is as described or when the commenter has not watched the video because of the frequency of such videos on YouTube.
