Rob I don't know if you'll ever see this, but I've been watching your videos for yearrs it's what got me into comics. Watching your channel evolve over the years have been so cool. And I like to come back to these videos sometimes not just to hear the stories again, but to get some of that vintage comics explained gold. This is one of the very few channels I can get nostalgia vibes from and that's fucking cool
+Brandon Worron I feel like I could use that answer for a majority of things. Why do any Superheroes exist if Superman is powerful enough to pull worlds and sing Darkseid to death? Because Comics.
+Brandon Worron Well, think of it this way: Green Lantern Power works off of willpower. If you sleep, you aren't exactly exerting your willpower. Thus, it behooves you to have safety measures in place for long-distance travelling. :)
+Brandon Worron because he wants to save the power of the ring for a situation where he could really need it. like for the occasion if his ship should crash.
+Shadow Prophet As far as we know, Star Lord left the Guardians of The Galaxy and she has replaced him as the leader, but whether the two are still bumping uglies is something I don't know.
+ComicsExplained So any idea WHY he left the Guardians, given his rather unique position amongst them? Also thanks for a very in-depth look into Hal and the Lanterns!
Believe it or not, Geoff Johns actually ruined Hal Jordan by retconing him to be possessed by Parallax during "Emerald Twilight". That storyline turned me into a DC fan and a lifetime fan of Hal Jordan. His dynamic of being so broken by the guilt and loss over Coast City's destruction made him a very realistic, sympathetic and interesting character. Johns is a great writer but he ruined a few characters. Most notably Hal Jordan, Conner Kent/Superboy and Bart Allen.
GSSAGE7 Yeah for one episode. Then he had a few cameos in the Justice League cartoon and that was it. John at least had a chance to shine in arguably the best Justice League incarnation, and Hal is obviously the Green Lantern poster boy. Kyle on the other hand has literally been swept under the rug. Even Guy Gardner gets more love in other media than Kyle.
even though the first green lantern i was introduced was john stewart i think hal jordan is THE GREEN LANTERN cuz of the animated movies, his role is dc universe and i even liked the green lantern movie. ryan reynolds did a fair job playing him but now when we're in era of dccu i think this character deserves a big name to portray him. my picks have always been bradley cooper or jake gyllenhaal
Before Geoff Johns and his giant fear bug Hal Fans were saying it was because Hal was tricked into wearing a ring of a villian named Lord Malvolio. Lord Malvolio was able to create illusions like a yellow space station which his ring could effect and tricked Hal into donning Lord Malvolio's ring and that was the ring (NOT a genuine GL ring) that Hal was wearing when he went nuts.
Your voice my friend, genuinely as relaxing as a Stephen fry audiobook.. Or more so! Either way, daily listener keep it up man! I'm not only here for the voice by the way 😂👍
Dude, Listen. I've been a huge fan for a long time. I LOVE GREEN LANTERN. Please give us more GL. He's one of the most interesting superheroes out there I just people knew his stories Educate them Please!
thang Q...Green Lantern is my favourite super hero...possibilities r endless...I like space its massive...thankyou for the history I knew a little n now I know more...
Hal Jordan is the cool of all the Green Lantern .He is complex like Batman ,And when he came back into being a Green Lantern again .He and batman almost went at it .Then in the JL team up from the new 52 .Before the team was formed .
Could you do this with the Summers/Grey Bloodline!?!?!?!?!? I worry it might be to long. But if one could give the idea life it would be you Rob. Love what you do cause you do it well.
Hey Rob was wondering with iron fist potentially being cancelled and moon knight replacing it if you would do a moon knight explained because I have read some moon knight but would be interested to hear your take
Hey Rob, in honor of Halloween, would you be willing to do a video(s) explaining the origins of DC's Frankenstein and/or Marvel's Werewolf by Night? Or even the Living Mummy or the Tomb of Dracula?
Pretty ballsy of DC to make a woman a CEO at a time were they could only be secretaries, only to be counteracted by how stupid her origin as Star Sapphire is but still pretty ballsy.
that made GL slightly more interesting... Hal Jordan can be so unimaginative, Kyle can be hacky, John panders to a prototype, etc. I mean, the swathe of GL themed books should have fixed this & the new GLC/ HJ arc seems interesting... I'm just glad they didn't create one more kind of latern. For more cynicism about GL, refer ask Batman, who is kinda a jerk about it to Hal. lol
You know how all of the different colored rings have their own extra abilities? What ability does the green lantern ring have that the other colored rings don't have?
"my solid light beam has the kick of a missouri mule!"... yeah... not going to lie, seeing would make me want to bully the shit out of whoever is reading it. it's instinct, you can't argue with human nature.
so... literally, Zero Hour turned me off of comics, I loved batman,spawn and even dabbled in superman and lobo, and gen13 and strikeforce, xfactor and amazing spider-man. could you do an explained on zero hour? it basically ruined comics for me. and i turned to graphic novels exclusively until the walking dead TV show aired (i love zombies) and I baught a crap ton of TWD comics.
ill be as respectful as possible wit this statement as possible: "old school 60s-70s era comics/graphic novels are shite. . . love the ideas that came from them. the stories/ art/ storytelling compared to this day and age are. . . lacklustre
So did any super villains ever try just getting naked, painting themselves yellow from head to toe then simply beating hal jordan to death? because I would totally do that.
y'all help please. I'm trying to find the panel this dude used in one of his videos on green lantern. GL's like shooting an energy beam at this female, she's blocking it, and saying "This energy is pure will, free will...I can't take that..and break it." I can't find this shit anywhere
