Several problematic web-series titles
I've just stumbled upon an IMDb anomaly. There is a plethora of interconnected web-series categorized as TV, descriptions, cast and characters of all of which are mashed up from that of The CW Arrowverse shows. Those I've discovered include: The Archer (2016-) The Blur (2018-2021) Knights of Justice (2018-2021) Protectors of Time (2018-2022) Powerhouse (2019-2022) Multiverse of Davies (2020) Legion of Heroes (2021-2022) Some of those are series with hundreds of episodes added. Then there are titles like Saltire (2018-) which is not something I immediately recognize as a textual rehash of an existent series, but it might just be because I'm not familiar with the material. Common threads between them are: -Easily recognized plots and storylines from "Arrow", "The Flash" and more Arrowverse shows mashed around just enough to pass for a different text (names of characters interchanged); -External links lead to utterly random YouTube videos; -Google had nothing. At least if we search for the titles at hand, because Dinsmore Films invloved with a lot of the titles technically exists. Upon closer inspection, titles do sort of exist (at least some of that, others were seemingly deleted), but appear to be mostly audio with some textual chyrons here and there. I mean, it's something more or less technically eligible (if it's a stretch, but I'm not judging: someone is trying their best). So, technically all of the aforementioned series do exist, but shouldn't they be changed into Podcast Series type which is the only logical type I can categorize that as?.. It is also really weird that most of the series level links are random videos, despite people who added the series had links for the series at hand and could've at least used that to avoid confusion.
