I love how, outside of saying he doesn’t know “sinister”, Sinestro doesn’t even defend himself; he just lets Hal dig his own grave in front of the guardians.
To be fair Hal had absolutely ZERO evidence to back up his frankly outlandish accusations of Sinestro, so yeah, he let him dig his own grave while smiling maniacally.
Did the Green Lanterns do anything during WW2? I know the comics started in the early 1940s, but you never know, what with the Spear of Destiny and all.
Or that they existed at the same time so it's not like he had the mustache after Hitler made it equated with evil hell he was probably famous with it first.
Hal forgot to take into account that really skinny moustaches, widows' peaks and permanent grin/grimaces are the result of Earth narrative tropes. Sinestero looks like a perfectly ordinary guy to most aliens. My question is why did Sinestero choose to look like a classic Earth villain?

I imagine the reason Sinestro managed to stay undercover for so long is that there's so many people of different planets that his appearance and name that raises red flags to humans seems normal to the rest of the Green Lantern Corps
Well from old comics and some retcons. He was a long standing genuinely good Green Lantern. The only early signs if any Guardians actually paid attention was how he later on started handling his quadrant and especially his home world... After a while he took over his planet as a dictator and then spread to said quadrant he was suppose to protect. He was prior to that close friends with Abin Sur who was of course was Hal Jordan's predecessor. There was in 90s/00s some stories to give a more tragic back story to the previously mostly one dimensional Sinestro. Some of it stuck while still he being evil and terrible. There was a run some years ago where he was Green Lantern again teamed up with Hal Jordan. It wasn't that bad in some story bits. Still he is better off a villain and his view on order is full on authoritarian.

For the Asian-American joke, it is referring to Thomas Kalmaku, Hal called him "Pieface", which sometimes is used to talk about people with a bland and boring face
@@joachimwalle3760 there an accusation Pieface was related to "Eskimo Pie" but like so many accusation of racism it was false. Pieface the term pre-dates the Eskimo Pie food.
@@darthkek1953the term was a derogatory slur for inuit people. The fact that it predates the food is irrelevant. The eskimo pie isnt what relates the term to being racist, it's the fact that it compares the face to a pie with the slits on the pie representing the eyes.
I was the impression the "That's not entirely true" was in response to one of the Oas saying Sinister is the same as both he and Hal...which *is* untrue since all three of them actually different species, however sapient.
1:15 Actually, Hitler had a Charlie Chaplin moustache. The dictator was a huge Chaplin fan and grew it specifically to mimic the actor/director. Charlie was NOT happy when he found out about this, and ended up making a whole film that dunks on Hitler as a result.
This is actually all true. Hitler was a huge Charlie Chaplin fan, and thought the mustache would endear him to the people. Instead, he ruined it for all eternity.
This was something that happened in Injustice comics. Also: "Look, just because I look like Dastardly Whiplash doesn't mean I'm evil! I *choose* to be evil *regardless* of how I look!"
Also kind of reminds me of an interaction Hal and Batman have: Batman: Why should I trust you? Hal: The Guardians did Batman: They also trusted Sinestro
Picasso was famous even before WW2. He was a child prodigy who mastered realism at a young age and then pushed the formalistic envelope of modern art when it was new and much more technical than people today realize.
The funny thing is this actually happened in the comics superman becomes a dictator but is convinced he's doing the right thing and plastic man goes "your teammates sinestro"
Sinestro helped further Superman down his dark path as well. With both the truth and manipulation of it. Setting him directly against the Guardians and making Sinestro one of his closest "allies". If Lex didn't listen and free Sinestro then so much bloodshed could have been prevented in story. Also F that Sinestro in killing Kyle and "temporarily" killing John. While also tricking Hal into being a complete idiot and well Guy being pavement...
Hilarious as usual. I’ll admit I was hoping the Guardians were going to say something like “Your ring is a universal translator and you can’t take the time to learn his name just means he’s really proud of being left-handed? Typical.”
The mismatched subtitles, the blooper reel clip at the end, the several seconds of black following it baiting you to think another such clip is coming... you're really playing more and more with the medium lately, and I love it
Yeah it's great! I wonder if Solid JJ does the artwork himself and/or gets a collaborator to make it for him. Either way it's very well done "limited" animation.
This is literally the equivalent of an amogus skit but not only does it not have to reference the game once, but each and every joke lands and not a single one overstays its welcome.
To be fair, the name "Sinestro" literally only means something to someone who speaks English/Latin languages, and the whole "Evil Moustache" thing is only relevant if you've seen old timey movies/cartoons. Hal came to the right conclusion using the *totally* wrong method
1:26 Okay, I'll go tell the Grinch he's off the hook. Along with Killer Croc, The Riddler, Poison Ivy, Swamp Thing, Lex Luthor, Brainiac, Maleficent, The Green Goblin, The Vulture, The Jackal, Electro, Doctor Octopus, Mysterio, The Scorpion, Sandman, The Lizard, Doctor Doom, Loki, The Enchantress, Hela, Mordo, most of HYDRA, The Abomination, The Skrulls, Impossible Man, Kang the Conqueror, The Mandarin, Fin Fang Foom, Annihilus, Ronan the Accuser, Sauron, Vilgax, Ssserpent, Dagon, The Incursean Empire, and a whole lot of witches goblins and ogres and such
The guy who introduced me to Green Lantern back in 2015 sees Sinestro as a grey morality character. The man named “Evil” who uses magical fear to commit genocide is grey to that dude.
Apparently Sinesteo became the dictator of his home world of Korugar because it was a very dysfunctional badly run place to live as well as regularly being invaded by alien invaders from other planets. Like in one version of the story Hal Jordan finds out Sinestro became a dictator when Hal is sent by the Guardians of the Universe to help Sinetro defend Korugar from alien invaders called the Khund (sort of like an interstellar alien version of Genghis Khan's Golden Horde.)
Those councillors shouldn’t be so quick to judge. Sinestro was obviously speaking metaphorically, since someone of his exquisite art taste would never commit genocide.
Granted, making criminals Fear you is a perfectly valid way of spreading Justice Just look at Batman, if he can do it and still be considered good, I'm sure Sinestro could manage to do it as well
Technically any of the lights could be used for good. Red (Anger): Righteous outrage. Orange (Greed): The most tenuous, but kind of a benevolent nimbyism, and since some of the Lanterns are stationed at one planet, that could work out. Yellow (Fear): Being an intimidating hero and/or fearing for others' safety. Green (Will): Well, we see several Green Lantern Corps members being good, despite the organisation kind of being assholes. Blue (Hope): I don't think I really need to touch this, since you'd have to be _really_ creative to use them for evil. Indigo (Compassion): " Violet/Pink (Love): " White (Life): " Black (Death): In theory, if it wasn't personally causing death, whenever a villain started slaughtering people you draw power from that,
@@jktuert8630 you know any other extraterrestrial character that wanted to “help” the universe “survive” according to their own beliefs and end up leading an antagonistic army to obtain all-powerful, reality-altering jewelry only to be thwarted by a “regular human” in a fancy suit?…and also happened to be purple?
The music with the dramatic accusation and Sinestro playing with his mustache is just *AMAZING!* That is such a classic trope and I can't help but hear cheesy '50s villain laughter. EDIT: "He's like Luigi" oh fucking sweet mother of flippity flip flops I'm fucking dying of laughter!
in Sinestro's defense, Hal was profiling him, based on flimsy logic that his name is vaguely similar to an Earth word that sounds evil and his appearance is vaguely similar to sterotypical villains in Earth fiction. I mean, there's gotta be a bit of Earth bias in there. . .

I imagine the reason Sinestro managed to stay undercover for so long is that there's so many people of different planets that his appearance and name that raises red flags to humans seems normal to the rest of the Green Lantern Corps
Well from old comics and some retcons. He was a long standing genuinely good Green Lantern. The only early signs if any Guardians actually paid attention was how he later on started handling his quadrant and especially his home world... After a while he took over his planet as a dictator and then spread to said quadrant he was suppose to protect.
He was prior to that close friends with Abin Sur who was of course was Hal Jordan's predecessor. There was in 90s/00s some stories to give a more tragic back story to the previously mostly one dimensional Sinestro. Some of it stuck while still he being evil and terrible. There was a run some years ago where he was Green Lantern again teamed up with Hal Jordan. It wasn't that bad in some story bits.
Still he is better off a villain and his view on order is full on authoritarian.
@@VanTesla To be fair some depictions of the Guardian's aren't any better, they are just willing to take the long view most of the time,
@@timothycarney9652 true as they gone full authoritarian several times. Created major incidents on acccient and etc. Ganthet pretty much being usually the one holding the humanity/morality aspect usually as the rest are mostly all detached in many stories.
@@VanTesla still waiting for the Green Lantern Corps Guardians to be the actual super villains
"You can't be evil and green"
Sinestro: "Damn, guess I gotta find a new color. I wonder if yellow would look good on me"
His original villain costume is blue, ironically enough.
@@universalperson HOW IS THAT IRONIC
@@shyguy85 blue in modern Green Lantern lore is the color of hope.
@@universalperson oh
Lex Luthor Wears a green suit
2:04 For those wondering, his nickname for his Inuit friend was Pieface... Yup. I think they were right to call him out on that one.
Let Granny Goodness vouch for Sinestro. With a name like hers, who could not trust her.
the ending being just black while you wait for the next joke only for it never to come is literally the funniest shit ever
**deep rumbling noise intensifies**
You know what, instead of reporting these bots since that never works, just report the videos they link to
I AM THE BEEST YOUUTUBER YOU'RE ALL TRAASH COMPARED TO ME IM THE BEEST 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
@@dreska255 you're almost a genius... Problem is in order to get there I have to click the link, and the videos themselves aren't usually the problem- the bots supporting them are.
@@normanclatcher well, my logic is reporting a bot would be useless since the person who created it can just make another one, but having one of their videos taken down would at least have an effect on their channel (lost views, etc). I know this has flaws but this is the best idea I can come up with
Also yes, the video itself isn't the problem, but the channel with that video is. They made or at least paid for the bot, and I'm aiming to affect them directly
For the Asian-American joke, it is referring to Thomas Kalmaku, Hal called him "Pieface", which sometimes is used to talk about people with a bland and boring face
Nice info bro
Why is that racist, though?
@@joachimwalle3760 there an accusation Pieface was related to "Eskimo Pie" but like so many accusation of racism it was false. Pieface the term pre-dates the Eskimo Pie food.
@@darthkek1953the term was a derogatory slur for inuit people. The fact that it predates the food is irrelevant. The eskimo pie isnt what relates the term to being racist, it's the fact that it compares the face to a pie with the slits on the pie representing the eyes.
@@deathserpent9747 a slur is a false, defamatory allegation. Eskimo was a purely descriptive term, nothing more.
"is it because of his purple skin?"
"That's not _entirely_ true"
WHAT DOES IT MEAN, WHAT DOES IT IMPLY
I was the impression the "That's not entirely true" was in response to one of the Oas saying Sinister is the same as both he and Hal...which *is* untrue since all three of them actually different species, however sapient.

Actually, Hitler had a Charlie Chaplin moustache. The dictator was a huge Chaplin fan and grew it specifically to mimic the actor/director. Charlie was NOT happy when he found out about this, and ended up making a whole film that dunks on Hitler as a result.
I know the movie in question, but is this true?!
@@tremendousyeet3467 yes,lol
Waiting for the veeeeerrry smart person
This is actually all true. Hitler was a huge Charlie Chaplin fan, and thought the mustache would endear him to the people. Instead, he ruined it for all eternity.
@@almightylordsatan475 hi devil
This was something that happened in Injustice comics. Also:
"Look, just because I look like Dastardly Whiplash doesn't mean I'm evil! I *choose* to be evil *regardless* of how I look!"
Also kind of reminds me of an interaction Hal and Batman have:
Batman: Why should I trust you?
Hal: The Guardians did
Batman: They also trusted Sinestro
Why have I never questioned how goofy-evil sinestro looks until this video
The fact that it took Sinestro causing a particular incident in a peacekeeping mission using fear and intimidation to dismiss him.
The dude took over a planet before the guardians kicked him out
In a world where if it looks evil, it probably is evil, the line of logic is solid.
AND SO THE TRUTH COMES OUT
Thanks for having me on!! Always a pleasure to work with the best!!
"That's not entirely true"
Meaning that him being purple was at least part of why Hal thinks he's evil
That’s crazy on how this channel finally gets the full recognition it deserves. Gg on 800k
Picasso was famous even before WW2. He was a child prodigy who mastered realism at a young age and then pushed the formalistic envelope of modern art when it was new and much more technical than people today realize.
The sheer amount of 70s cartoon stills on your laptop must be ungodly.
There's got to be so many he can put them all into a PowerPoint and create an entire show
Wait
When Hal said he had concerns about a fellow Green Lantern I immediately forgot about the title and thumbnail and thought of Guy Gardner.
The funny thing is this actually happened in the comics superman becomes a dictator but is convinced he's doing the right thing and plastic man goes "your teammates sinestro"
Sinestro helped further Superman down his dark path as well. With both the truth and manipulation of it. Setting him directly against the Guardians and making Sinestro one of his closest "allies". If Lex didn't listen and free Sinestro then so much bloodshed could have been prevented in story.
Also F that Sinestro in killing Kyle and "temporarily" killing John. While also tricking Hal into being a complete idiot and well Guy being pavement...
@@VanTesla now I didn't read Injustice but I gotta say no one would have to trick Hal Jordan into being a complete idiot
Man those prost credit scenes were great. The first one I wasn't expecting got a hearty chuckle, but that second one at the end was great.
Sinister sinestro are my favourite spider man villains
Hilarious as usual. I’ll admit I was hoping the Guardians were going to say something like “Your ring is a universal translator and you can’t take the time to learn his name just means he’s really proud of being left-handed? Typical.”
But being left handed was a sign of evil when the term was coined.
Sinestro has some good ideas. We should hear him out.
Have you been hanging on the smurf-anon forums?
@@Seeker_of_Truth_and_Beauty JFK JR IS ALIVE AND HE WILL BE VICE-PRESIDENT!!!
The Guardians actually make a good point. The mustache and word “sinister” are unique to Western Earth cultures.
That goes for most of the words they used. Why would "sinister" be any different?
It also means "left handed". Note which hand the ring is on with Sinestro.
The 30 seconds of a black void and pure silence really made this video worth watching!
I blame Picasso.
The mismatched subtitles, the blooper reel clip at the end, the several seconds of black following it baiting you to think another such clip is coming... you're really playing more and more with the medium lately, and I love it
"Stupid fucking cubes"
Never agreed with anything more in my life
The channel is evolving to have original artwork- I love it
Yeah it's great! I wonder if Solid JJ does the artwork himself and/or gets a collaborator to make it for him. Either way it's very well done "limited" animation.
@@SurprisinglyDeep The descriptions credits The French Pineapple for the art
This is literally the equivalent of an amogus skit but not only does it not have to reference the game once, but each and every joke lands and not a single one overstays its welcome.
@nigbro scam

To be fair, the name "Sinestro" literally only means something to someone who speaks English/Latin languages, and the whole "Evil Moustache" thing is only relevant if you've seen old timey movies/cartoons.
Hal came to the right conclusion using the *totally* wrong method
Everyone in the galaxy speaks English tho
@@rugerredhawk9065... Νο? Only earth does.
@@thomastakesatollforthedark2231 i have yet to see a single alien language in DC or Marvel. It's not like Hal ever had to learn any other language
@@thelordz33... Because the ring translates everything. Also we have a ton of examples of Kryptonian and Tamaran
@@rugerredhawk9065 Yeah aliens always talk to humans in english haha
The Guardians: omniscient and near-omnipotent protectors
Also The Guardians: don't know what 'sinister' means, can't teleport after anyone who leaves
I was on Green Lantern's side at first, but that point of him being the same color as Luigi really convinced me he's not evil.
counter argument, he's also purple like Waluigi AND Sinestro isn't in smash as well
coincidence? I think not
The delivery of the last line was fantastic.
“He’s twiddling his mustache like Yosemite Sam”
That’s SNIDELY WHIPLASH you philestine!!!

Okay, I'll go tell the Grinch he's off the hook. Along with Killer Croc, The Riddler, Poison Ivy, Swamp Thing, Lex Luthor, Brainiac, Maleficent, The Green Goblin, The Vulture, The Jackal, Electro, Doctor Octopus, Mysterio, The Scorpion, Sandman, The Lizard, Doctor Doom, Loki, The Enchantress, Hela, Mordo, most of HYDRA, The Abomination, The Skrulls, Impossible Man, Kang the Conqueror, The Mandarin, Fin Fang Foom, Annihilus, Ronan the Accuser, Sauron, Vilgax, Ssserpent, Dagon, The Incursean Empire, and a whole lot of witches goblins and ogres and such
The guy who introduced me to Green Lantern back in 2015 sees Sinestro as a grey morality character. The man named “Evil” who uses magical fear to commit genocide is grey to that dude.
TBF it really does depend on who’s writing him
Apparently Sinesteo became the dictator of his home world of Korugar because it was a very dysfunctional badly run place to live as well as regularly being invaded by alien invaders from other planets.
Like in one version of the story Hal Jordan finds out Sinestro became a dictator when Hal is sent by the Guardians of the Universe to help Sinetro defend Korugar from alien invaders called the Khund (sort of like an interstellar alien version of Genghis Khan's Golden Horde.)
This is especially funny because in Green Lantern: The Animated Series, Hal ADMIRED Sinestro, and was the most oblivious to his questionable actions.
Those councillors shouldn’t be so quick to judge. Sinestro was obviously speaking metaphorically, since someone of his exquisite art taste would never commit genocide.
"You know, in person you really do look like the devil." "I know, I get that a lot."
I was camping this video man, I swear
Charlie Chaplin didn't have a hitler moustache, Hitler had a Charlie Chaplin moustache
I like how the Guardians don’t know what a train is but they know who Charlie Chaplin is
Granted, making criminals Fear you is a perfectly valid way of spreading Justice
Just look at Batman, if he can do it and still be considered good, I'm sure Sinestro could manage to do it as well
Technically any of the lights could be used for good.
Red (Anger): Righteous outrage.
Orange (Greed): The most tenuous, but kind of a benevolent nimbyism, and since some of the Lanterns are stationed at one planet, that could work out.
Yellow (Fear): Being an intimidating hero and/or fearing for others' safety.
Green (Will): Well, we see several Green Lantern Corps members being good, despite the organisation kind of being assholes.
Blue (Hope): I don't think I really need to touch this, since you'd have to be _really_ creative to use them for evil.
Indigo (Compassion): "
Violet/Pink (Love): "
White (Life): "
Black (Death): In theory, if it wasn't personally causing death, whenever a villain started slaughtering people you draw power from that,
Of course Sinestro’s evil, he’s like if you fused Thanos and Waluigi
I don't see it how can someone like sinestro be evil look at his mustache
This is one diss that somehow still works and I now can never unsee. Thanks, I hate it.
wanos
Why would you assume this? Is this cause he is purple?
@@jktuert8630 you know any other extraterrestrial character that wanted to “help” the universe “survive” according to their own beliefs and end up leading an antagonistic army to obtain all-powerful, reality-altering jewelry only to be thwarted by a “regular human” in a fancy suit?…and also happened to be purple?
"is like luigi" aged like fine wine
The unnecessarily long music cue at the beginning just ties this all together
the funny thing with sinestro is he keeps flip flopping between absolute unhinged psycopath with an army of mass murders
and being space batman
They really should have seen it coming
Sinestro, evil??? Gasp! How could he?
He seemed like a pretty nice guy to me
Siniestro was not evil, he simply saw law and order as the virtues of being a Green Lantern above all and in that pursuit inspired fear instead.
Too much Law and Order and you get Fear.
Bro the production quality on this is a huge step up. the art looks great btw
When you can see which character is going to betray you early in the game but you still have to help them through the early levels
The music with the dramatic accusation and Sinestro playing with his mustache is just *AMAZING!* That is such a classic trope and I can't help but hear cheesy '50s villain laughter.
EDIT: "He's like Luigi" oh fucking sweet mother of flippity flip flops I'm fucking dying of laughter!
in Sinestro's defense, Hal was profiling him, based on flimsy logic that his name is vaguely similar to an Earth word that sounds evil and his appearance is vaguely similar to sterotypical villains in Earth fiction.
I mean, there's gotta be a bit of Earth bias in there. . .
These videos show the characters in a very accurate and funny way.
Congrats on 800K! I love these videos so much
0:48 I love DC has. character literally called Sinestro, and Marvel also has a character called Mr Sinister.
1:20 I'm sorry but I can't unsee this typo
The reference to Thomas Kalmaku caught me off guard😂! Brilliant!
"Look at him, he's twiddling his moustache like Yosemite Sam!" has me rolling
Sinestro sounds like an obvious villain name on Earth, but sinister or words sounding like it might not even exist on other planets.
"Don't know what sinister is but you do know who hitler is?"
he was just THAT bad of a guy
Man, the art is gigagood - didn't expected this much effort, excluding VO - solid job (pun intended) as always Solid.
I recently finished Mass Effect and I could not stop thinking about the first council meeting with Saren
That must mean the Green Goblin is a good guy too.
I so look forward to your newest videos, thank you, this is like the ironic night court influenced scenes I would act out with my little brother with our action figures
I love your DC videos, Solid JJ.
Haven't cracked like this in a while this one was really good. Well done!
2:00 you know your Grren Lantern thats a deep cut
Congrats on hitting 800K JJ!
The one image I’ve seen of Sinestro twiddling his ‘stache.
