+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!
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.
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.
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 😂👍
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.
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
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.
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
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 .
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.
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?
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
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
"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 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.
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... 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.
hal jordan is my all time fav hero
For those who are curious, I have videos on the origins of the Guardians of The Universe and the Green Lantern Corps.
I've seen all you videos on both channels. Thanks, green lantern is def my favorite
+ComicsExplained Do you have any information on Kitty Pride and what's going on with her in relation to Star Lord?
+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!
Didn't he become king of his planet finally?
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
Wow the art of those early Green Lantern issues was very... stylised.
I can't tell if that's a compliment or not
Hal Jordan is my favorite Green Lantern
Same
You know what I never understood. is why abin sur was flying a plane when he can fly himself
COMICS
+Yogi-The Yao Guai you know that is probably the best explanation for everything lol
+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.
IMO I feel Geoff Johns and Grant Morrison saved DC
So he's done if he were to ever go up against The Simpsons?
Well, he could always make a slingshot and throw stuff at them at high speeds.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can Sailor Venus or Pikachu Nerf him?
Kyle Rayner is probably my favorite Green Lantern, but the newest guy has the best costume.
And the messiah Geoff Jones arrived :3
12:05 Is this the Bloodsport fight theme in the background? lol Awesome.
+KalvinEllis indeed it is
I love the Green Lantern Corp. You darn right you get a thumbs up for this video.
Just great stuff. I love this. Helps me keep up even if I can't read everything I want to.
This guy has one of the bloodsport themes in the background. You sir...are awesome.
Thanks Rob for covering this. GL had been my favor hero since I was 14. I'm glad it was pre Johns' era that you covered.
I miss Geoff Johns writing Green Lantern.
Nice video, and I love the Clams Casino song too!
Tha k you for this thorough description of this. Subscribed bro.
Im so glad I found this series ty
That bloodsport music background though!!!
Pre-Geoff Johns? BLASPHEMY
+Black Adam This is Madness
Madness? This is DC!!!!
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.

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 😂👍
I love your work ❤️
U get a like for that Blood sport music in the background
I love that music from bloodsport!!
I'm pretty sure Hal Jordan could literally do anything with the green lantern ring back then. I saw him turn a toy plane into a rocket ship.
Kyle Reiner is my favorite Green Lantern.
Green Lantern is my all times favorite superhero, and Hel Jorden is my default Green Lantern.
Please do Kyle Rayner next!! He's my fav Green Lantern
Dat Bloodsport soundtrack.
30th Century Fawkes lol. I know right?!?!
is one of the songs in the video from Bloodsport?
Rob what's the name of the music you used at the end of the video
+ComicsExplained is it possible you could do a video for Aquaman and the other individual earth Green Lanterns?
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.
Bout time Rob! TY!
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
I hope you'll do the Jeff johns run next
The animation for these was wild lmao
Will you do Geoff John's run
*_My favorite Green Lantern is John Stewart. He's very underrated :)_*
+Cusquenha John was at least heavily featured in a cartoon show. The underrated GL is without a doubt Kyle Rayner.
+KalvinEllis
Yup
He was in Superman's cartoon remember?
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.
What was Guy in? He didn't even get a cameo like Hal did.
I guess the next video will cover the Geoff Johns Green Lantern era??? or was that already done in a previous video???
I love the Blood sport background music
Doing a Green Lantern binge. Wish me luck
Could you do a video on _Solar: Man of the Atom_?
Bloodsport music in the background!!!! 👍
Glad someone else noticed that!!!
would you make a video about lobo please?
ain't that the music from the movie bloodsport
Can you do a young justice explained I don't know if there's a comic but I want to know what happens after the show ended
You should really do a video on Geoff Johns run of green lantern
Can u do a CE on Damian Danrk can't find any origins on him on TH-cam
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.
Keep 'em coming my man! Even when you cover heroes I don't like, (like Hal Jordan) you make them so interesting
My starting point of Comics were the Justice League and X-Men , so thanks for explaining Jay Garrick and Alan Scott.
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
Any chance for some Spider-man 2099 video ? or a Doom 2099
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...
Thank you
Please explain the Green Lantern Corp. pre and post crisis.
So would Green Lantern melt away like the Wicked Witch of the West if someone peed on him?
Could you do a video explaining Marvel Ruins?
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 .
WHY would they put him in a Green Lantern tube?! I mean, they KNOW anything yellow is a bit of a problem.
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?
or all of um :3 lol
I'd love to have all of them!
could even do Blade!
or Ghost Rider
I Still Need Green Lantern's Showcase Comics, Can Anyone Help?
I thought his name was Ganthet?
So if I started with Rebirth and wanted to go through Brightest Day, what order of Graphic Novels would I read?
brianavanvliet just follow his playlist. Just start at the top and work ur way down
can you explain jakeem thunder
I bet in the new live action series or movies they'll make Hal Jordan old or evil.
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.
Magmaster13 it wasn't ilegal to make a woman ceo, even before that time.
Rest well Abin Sur
"Gantlet"
I like how he didn't get an origin story he just was a Green Lantern already. feels like a waste of a first issue to make it an origin story.
@8:48 that actually looks like Ryan Reynolds!
Where is Warrior from JLA
Hal's by far the best Lantern.
+Telly Vin-a And then retconned him again as being infected by an alien fear bug.
So was Stewart killed by Hal too?
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?
Limited metal influence from being a conduit of intense emotion
Unaugmented free will
can you do a video explaining Power Ring?
+TheColonelAngel Already did.
+ComicsExplained what's the name of ot
+Jeremy Gladden it*
+ComicsExplained no u did not
+Andgalsgaard so did he or not? lol
why didn't the ring choose batman or any of the other 100 people far more suited to the job?
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
its from Darkseid war #1. Darkseid's daughter - Grail says this
13:37 The lantern on his chest is all white. Also, great time stamp.
Cover the Green Hornet
lol Bloodsport OST.
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
Damn u gotta deep as voice
Wow, and I thought kryptonite was bad.
+ComicsExplained why is the oath infamous
What if there was a color blind Green Lantern?
Sup yo! Incomparable! extra-large poised
"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.
why hal jordan never came out at justice league or JLU? why only john stewart?
+Leo Juljay Hal was dead in the comics at the time the show came out, and the producers wanted a black character on the team.
KalvinEllis how did hal died?
Leo Juljay
He sacrificed himself to reignite the sun.
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.
Batman got Robin to paint his suit yellow... And Hal's entire apartment, this is in all-star batman and robin the boy wonder!
lol BatTroll
Hal Jordan is a Spaniard 🇪🇸
infamous oath?
Yes.
Excellent! -
Post Geoff Johns?
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
excluding that giant pink world encompassing blob. . . that shit was badass as fuck
yet i am obsessed with them. . . ruins any form of logical biased perspective
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.
Do Watchmen ?:)
