One of the most important details about The Lone Ranger is that he only uses silver bullets as to "remind himself of the value of a life". Philosophically, I think that's an amazing detail that makes the character much deeper than the average western hero.
John Reid (AKA: The Lone Ranger.) is the ancestor of none other then Britt Reid (AKA: The Green Hornet.) In one of the older Green Hornet comics, we see Britt standing in front of a fireplace and hung over the mantle is a painting of The Lone Ranger on Silver therefor, linking the two together by family blood.
Valen Dreugh Well Fuck Robin, Bucky, Marvel Jr., Krypto, and every other sidekick that's not on every single comic book page with their name right next to the MAIN CHARACTER in bold ass high def colors. Its enough that they have the sidekick in there playing serious roles and not for comic relief. Go fuck yourself you over sensitive ass.
Valen Dreugh Well if you can stop acting like an elementery school specal ed. case, then maybe I would treat you with more respect, but I wont. The fact that you are so stupid about a simple title, get pissed when called out for it, then try to actually argue the point like a fucking idiot when you know you're wrong proves you are an idiot times 10 to the 5 power. Don't talk to an adult unless you can think at the same level as one, kid.
Valen Dreugh Look kid, if talking to you at your low level mentality is the only way to get you to understand then that's what is going to happen. You have a stupid argument based on shit else then getting your feeling hurt for being corrected by somebody who knows better. You have had no REAL argument since your very first post. Seriously, are you really that stuck on stupid or is their hope for you?
Valen Dreugh No, you bitched a fit like a 9 year old because you thought the title was wrong, then made it like it was anti Native American. When called out on both you lied and said you were being sarcastic for the Native American part and then continued to try and justify your idiotic argument.
It should also be noted that the Lone Ranger was originally broadcast on the radio by the same company that handled the Green Hornet program and that John Reid was set up as Britt Reid's great-uncle.
When I saw the Hammer/Depp version, I had only heard of the Lone Ranger before, and had no idea of the story, and I thought the movie told it pretty well.
Lesson Met I agree. The way I see it, we're our own critics. People have different tastes in films. I like Lone Ranger 2013 too. I never knew where the theme song or that Hi ho Silver Away came from. Now I'm glad I do, and I'm pretty sure it was in the old days too
DarkPaladin24 Yes it was the main catch phrase at the end where he would yell that and Tonto said "getty up Scout!" Scout being Tonto's horse. I for one didn't like it because Lone Ranger was supposed to be intelligent, not a fool. Tonto as well was not some mentally far gone character, but a serious and respectable person. If you seen the original first, you would hate the movie. If you seen the movie first and liked it, well that's on you.
Well, lucky for you, my friend, the critics had one simple, yet major error. THEY WERE ONLY LOOKING AT THEBOX OFFICE RESULTS. I mean come on, Hammer and Depp said that themselves! Remember, the majority of critics are in it for the money, not the content.... I mean, there isn't a single Johnny Depp movie that I think sucks (except for the latest POTC)
I agree :) even my Dad loves the fim (his favourite part was when Silver drank a bottle of whisky & burped lol) I even have a PlaySet from Disney Infinity 1.0 The Lone Ranger PlaySet if not for Disney AND Infinity, I wouldn't known or gotten into The Lone Ranger so I now own 2 collectible figurines (since the game has unexpectedly ended :( ) for Lone Ranger and Tonto :) btw the reason DISNEY made their adaption of The Lone Ranger is because Walt Disney himself used to love trains that's partly why :)
Johnny Depp's Lone Ranger movie has the same problem as Bruce Lee's Green Hornet. Bruce Lee made Kato so popular that the Green Hornet fell in the background. I feel like they deliberately made Johnny Depp's Tonto like Jack Sparrow so could sell more tickets. The movie overall suffers from it. ESPECIALLY the way they took so long to get to the fighting scenes, I mean come on! I prefer the actual Lone Ranger to this trainwreck.
The thief series were absolutely great! I could be waiting for over 10 minutes in the dark learning the routines of the guards to make the best approach. The real challenge is to sneak in, do your mission and sneak out without killing or touching any guard. That's really stealh mode!
+rox driscoll You are an absolute idiot...can't even get the last lines of a movie right before you make a stupid "look at me...aren't I funny...?" post... Moron...
"Kimosabe" is a mis-pronounced phrase in Spanish, "Qien no sabe" that means, roughly, "He who knows nothing". "Tonto", as was pointed out earlier, means "dumb" or "dummy"... So the Lone Ranger and Tonto ride around, and the Ranger will say, "Hey Dummy!", to which Tonto replies, "Yes, He Who Knows Nothing?"...
All the years that I watched The Lone Ranger as a child I never knew he was based on the black man Bass Reeves who was the best Ranger in America. He often rode with a Seminal Indian and at times used disguises. So good at his job was Bass Reeves that upon hearing he was the Ranger after them many criminals would just hand themselfs in.
Hey.... The 2013 movie wasn't bad.... It was actually funny when I first saw it!!!!! And the final battle was epic!!!!!! I still don't get why Tonto became a statue
Yes, it wasn't as bad as some would have you believe. I found the movie's back story of Tonto quite intriguing and would have liked to see that delved into a bit more. Oh and Kimosabe, wrong brother.
I didn't know he was considered a "Super Hero". I watched him as a kid (I am in my very early 40's) and I didn't know the term as a child but I loved to watch The Lone Ranger a lot on TV.
Not only is the Lone Ranger related to the early version of Green Hornet the creator of the radio show even intended one to be a modern version of the other. The Lone Ranger also has a nephew, who's horse is named Victor. That was actually mentioned in A Christmas Story. The whole reason why John Reid calls himself the Lone Ranger is of course do to his brother and fellow rangers being ambushed and killed.
The word kemosabe is often used in Lone Ranger lore; the original radio series, tv show, and subsequent films had the word used in them, yet it was often given different meanings.
Some people hated the movie. I on the other hand as a lover of good old series like Lone Ranger felt it reintroduced the series to people of all ages. Kids were able to see another piece of our past that is no longer seen on television. I felt the movie showed it's own version of the wonderful Lone Ranger. So whether some people enjoyed it or hated it. I think it got it's point across. Long Ranger kicks ass.
"With his faithful Indian companion Tonto, the daring and resourceful masked rider of the plains led a fight for Law and Order in the early Western United States. Nowhere in the pages of history can no longer find one greater champion of justice. Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear! From out of the past comes a fiery horse with the speed of light, the cloud of dust and a hearty "Hi-yo Silver!" The Lone Ranger rides again!"
I was on the fence about going to see the 2013 Lone Ranger. Now I definitely want to go see it! I do love a gritty back story with a loner realizing he needs a teammate to make "do-gooding" all worthwhile.
since I now learned that the Lone Ranger's secret identity is John Reed, I think it's possible that he's the crime fighting ancestor of the Green Hornet (Bruce Reed).
Love the lone ranger next to Batman and Superman and Spider Man and love Zorro . The lone ranger is the masked of all maskeds . The lone ranger is a super hero .
Huh. This was unexpected. And over 50 years to receive an origin story? Woah. Thanks for the video. Trivia: "Tonto", in spanish, means "dumb/fool". Probably just a coincidence.
I agree, i think a lot of people didn't see it because they listened to the reviews by critics and make their opinions from that. I hate movie critics, they all want the same boring old things.
(facepalm) He's called the "Lone Ranger" because he is the last survivor of a group of Texas Rangers, rather than because he works alone (he is usually accompanied by Tonto).
I've been a fan of the Long Ranger and since I was a little kid Clayton Moore will always be the greatest Lone Ranger of all time Collins was not Outlaw leader he was used to be on the side of the Rangers he double-crossed them bush Cavendish gang he was supposed to be a guide they also had a radio show I used to listen that all the time Johnny Depp would been better Lone Ranger then Tonto they still play The Lone Ranger theme music even today
The New Lone Ranger reminded me alot of the Phantom Menace, in that the movie was awful, except with one shining piece of gold scene shoved in the turn in the rest of the movie. ( The Pod Race and Train Scene...respectively)
the movie wasn't bad. I'd give it a 7 out of 10. Movie critics were just looking for flops year, as they always do. If you haven't seen it, check it out, and decide for yourself. Don't let critics influence your opinion.
Actually, Kemosabe means "Trusty Scout". Anyway, nothing against Armie Hammer, but Clayton Moore is the one true Lone Ranger. Let his legend live on forever. HI-YO, SILVER! AWAY!!!
Well you can't really fit a whole movie into a say 23 page book. All that really matters is if they keep the origins straight. And to be fair it's more based of the Ultimates.
One of the most important details about The Lone Ranger is that he only uses silver bullets as to "remind himself of the value of a life". Philosophically, I think that's an amazing detail that makes the character much deeper than the average western hero.

+LadyRoyce wow nice
Actually, The Green hornet is a descendant of the Lone Ranger's nephew Dan Reid.
Yep, Christian so true. There is also a Brit Jr and even a daughter of Kato in the comics timeline. Heroism definitely runs in both families.
@@jonathancraddock1810 I think I’ve seen a dynamite cover that depicts the similarities
@@christianjohnson5379 Which would also make him a descendent of John Reid, the Lone Ranger himself.
After all these years of being with Tonto, he's still referred to as "The Lone Ranger". How unimportant must Tonto feel?
He's called Lone Ranger coz he was the lone survivor/ranger in the massacre. Tonto is a native.
Valen Dreugh
Well Fuck Robin, Bucky, Marvel Jr., Krypto, and every other sidekick that's not on every single comic book page with their name right next to the MAIN CHARACTER in bold ass high def colors.

kinda ironic how they turn around and mock the ranger's catchphrase 'hi ho silver away' at the end of the 2013 movie
I LOVED the movie! I don't know why people thought it was terrible
yeah me too. I enjoyed it through and through. critics are such dicks.
When I saw the Hammer/Depp version, I had only heard of the Lone Ranger before, and had no idea of the story, and I thought the movie told it pretty well.

Got to meet Clayton Moore as a kid back in the 80's. It was some kind of meet and greet at a piano store.
I grew up watching the old black and white Lone Ranger on Sunday mornings. Good times...
I don't care what people think. I loved the Disney version of the lone ranger.
I agree :) even my Dad loves the fim (his favourite part was when Silver drank a bottle of whisky & burped lol) I even have a PlaySet from Disney Infinity 1.0 The Lone Ranger PlaySet if not for Disney AND Infinity, I wouldn't known or gotten into The Lone Ranger so I now own 2 collectible figurines (since the game has unexpectedly ended :( ) for Lone Ranger and Tonto :) btw the reason DISNEY made their adaption of The Lone Ranger is because Walt Disney himself used to love trains that's partly why :)
You can't slap superhero on every character. He's just a hero nuff said

"Tonto" means "dumb" in spanish
Good thing it's in english.
so he name the horse after himself?
DeltaVix what makes you think is english to begin with?
GustaVereS no no, the HORSE's name's Silver. Ranger's sidekick is TONTO
yes i know that but the horse is dumb too :D
may have actually made a good movie if they cast a first nations actor as tonto without a bird on his head and took out the spirit warrior stuff
Who told Johnny Depp he could be anything? He has been more things than i can count.
My dad is a huge Lone Ranger fan.
Same here. My Dad and Grandpa were the first to introduce me to the character.
Imagine if Lone Ranger and Zorro had a crossover. That would be awesome.
"hi ho silver!'
n-no dont do that
You need more likes
"Hi-ho Silver!"
"Don't ever do that again"*
+rox driscoll You are an absolute idiot...can't even get the last lines of a movie right before you make a stupid "look at me...aren't I funny...?" post...
Moron...
frehleyisgod Oh Hi troll.
+rox driscoll
You quoted the line wrong and when you were called out on it you resorted to name calling...exactly how does that help your case...?
"Kimosabe" is a mis-pronounced phrase in Spanish, "Qien no sabe" that means, roughly, "He who knows nothing". "Tonto", as was pointed out earlier, means "dumb" or "dummy"...
So the Lone Ranger and Tonto ride around, and the Ranger will say, "Hey Dummy!", to which Tonto replies, "Yes, He Who Knows Nothing?"...
But kemosabe might mean something completely different in Tonto's native language. Every language has a different meaning to certain words.
the lone ranger is marvel superhero😊👍✌🤘🤙
It's sad how It would've been a great film if Disney didn't composed it.
This is one of my fave Characters!!
'not sure If horse is stupid or pretending to be stupid. Very tricky.'
All the years that I watched The Lone Ranger as a child I never knew he was based on the black man Bass Reeves who was the best Ranger in America. He often rode with a Seminal Indian and at times used disguises. So good at his job was Bass Reeves that upon hearing he was the Ranger after them many criminals would just hand themselfs in.
That's a recently invented and easily-disproved myth that was used to promote the sale of a book. Nothing more.
Most Epic Movie Ever!! My Top 20 Favorite Movies in 2013
You forgot to mention the Saturday morning cartoons he was in.
Hey.... The 2013 movie wasn't bad.... It was actually funny when I first saw it!!!!! And the final battle was epic!!!!!! I still don't get why Tonto became a statue
Yes, it wasn't as bad as some would have you believe. I found the movie's back story of Tonto quite intriguing and would have liked to see that delved into a bit more. Oh and Kimosabe, wrong brother.
Aye, Kemosabe.
The critics flagged it down because it just never made much in box office...... They never watched the movie
If it makes you feel any better, famed critic Roger Ebert agrees with you.
It did however change a lot from the comics
Hi-yo, Silver! Awaaaaaaay!
best movie ive ever seen I saw it twice in the movie theatres :)
when I was a kid thought the lone ranger and Jonah Hex were the same character... man, was I wrong.
What an awesome Comic book hero.
I know right. He's one of those characters like Zorro. He was a superhero essentially before superheroes were even a thing.
I didn't know he was considered a "Super Hero". I watched him as a kid (I am in my very early 40's) and I didn't know the term as a child but I loved to watch The Lone Ranger a lot on TV.
Not only is the Lone Ranger related to the early version of Green Hornet the creator of the radio show even intended one to be a modern version of the other.

The whole reason why John Reid calls himself the Lone Ranger is of course do to his brother and fellow rangers being ambushed and killed.
That's odd, the movie said Kemosabe means "wrong brother".
The word kemosabe is often used in Lone Ranger lore; the original radio series, tv show, and subsequent films had the word used in them, yet it was often given different meanings.
It depends on the native language used. Some versions of the Lone ranger have Tonto in different tribes, but sometimes different Native languages.
I loved that movie!
OH MY GOD MY CHILDHOOD! SO BEAUTIFUL!
Some people hated the movie. I on the other hand as a lover of good old series like Lone Ranger felt it reintroduced the series to people of all ages.

Armie Hammer be like "In the name of the law!"
since I now learned that the Lone Ranger's secret identity is John Reed, I think it's possible that he's the crime fighting ancestor of the Green Hornet (Bruce Reed).
Just saw the Lone Ranger today, and I loved it.
Here you go
watch?v=MAZBj1Ja0Mc
Supervillain Origins: Harley Quinn
Am I the only one who loved the movie despite the reviews?
Damn, now that explains the movies' storyline, now I'm blaming the comics for rewriting it! I like the ORIGINIAL ORIGIN!
example of good things made by disney: Split second. That game is brutal :D
2013 film was awesome!
They forget to mention that the Lone Ranger was the great great grand nephew of the green hornet
ive never been a fan of westerns, but i do admit lone ranger is a classic
Love the lone ranger next to Batman and Superman and Spider Man and love Zorro . The lone ranger is the masked of all maskeds . The lone ranger is a super hero .
now I want to go see the movie it is a great story... instead of what I thought it would be
Owlman Origins ;D
I love the lone ranger, and yes, I am under 70.
nothing beats the TV show. It's on everyday on FETV
He's a hero if nothing else.
I Thought The Lone Ranger Was Just An Ordinary Mysterious Masked Western Outlaw I Did Not Realized That He's Actually A Comic Book SuperHero
the lone ranger was an awesome movie
Huh. This was unexpected. And over 50 years to receive an origin story? Woah. Thanks for the video.
Trivia: "Tonto", in spanish, means "dumb/fool". Probably just a coincidence.
The Lone Ranger and Tonto are like Brothers they look out of each other
Hey, he's a classic example of American culture and justice!
I might actually make an effort to see this movie now.
In the new movie, Tonto says that Kemosabe means "wrong brother"
I agree, i think a lot of people didn't see it because they listened to the reviews by critics and make their opinions from that. I hate movie critics, they all want the same boring old things.
That Omnibus sounds pretty good
Love this guy
I would love a galacticus or a doomsday origin. Apart from that, great video. Thanks!
(facepalm) He's called the "Lone Ranger" because he is the last survivor of a group of Texas Rangers, rather than because he works alone (he is usually accompanied by Tonto).
He was the only ranger left alive after the ambush
I've been a fan of the Long Ranger and since I was a little kid Clayton Moore will always be the greatest Lone Ranger of all time Collins was not Outlaw leader he was used to be on the side of the Rangers he double-crossed them bush Cavendish gang he was supposed to be a guide they also had a radio show I used to listen that all the time Johnny Depp would been better Lone Ranger then Tonto they still play The Lone Ranger theme music even today
The New Lone Ranger reminded me alot of the Phantom Menace, in that the movie was awful, except with one shining piece of gold scene shoved in the turn in the rest of the movie. ( The Pod Race and Train Scene...respectively)
Cool how the advert for lone ranger movie came on before this.
Because he was a Texas Ranger along with a whole crew and they all died, Thus he is the Lone Ranger
hey remember that movie lone ranger? me neither
I loved the movie.
that movie was awesome
This makes me want to watch the Lone Ranger movie that came out.
the movie wasn't bad. I'd give it a 7 out of 10. Movie critics were just looking for flops year, as they always do. If you haven't seen it, check it out, and decide for yourself. Don't let critics influence your opinion.
Lone Ranger was my childhood
vigilante vs. Lone Ranger .. now that's i have to see :D
Top ten slow motion moments from movies
He was the only one that survived the ambush.
Actually, Kemosabe means "Trusty Scout". Anyway, nothing against Armie Hammer, but Clayton Moore is the one true Lone Ranger. Let his legend live on forever.
HI-YO, SILVER! AWAY!!!
Because he was the lone Ranger that survived.
because he's the only Texas ranger that survived the ambush
Wow I didn't know that The Lone Ranger was in a comic book wow and the movie wasn't that bad
He is, The Lone Ranger has been said to be the great uncle of The Green Hornet.
My guess would be that he is the only one standing up for the law since most of the other rangers were killed.
movie was great i was surprise how good it was when i was hearing bad things about it...
I liked that movie D;
Nobody was a fan, that's why it do well in the box office.
The 1981 version wasn't half bad, bar better than this 2013 one for sure!
You should do a supervillain origin of Doomsday
Well you can't really fit a whole movie into a say 23 page book. All that really matters is if they keep the origins straight. And to be fair it's more based of the Ultimates.
It was a great movie
This made me want to see the movie
I know he's not a superhero but, BEST SUPERHERO EVAAAAAAR
Hes not a superhero, hes a physicist thats literally all there is to know about him.
the lone ranger is a superhero? And I guess this comic book is the reason why the gritty lone ranger became a box office bomb.
Disney's Lone Ranger was terrible. We want a proper Lone Ranger series to be set 130 years after the original Lone Ranger rode through the old west.
The new movie was actually cool I think it got way more hate than it deserved
