*This was a cool character to look at. You like this character?✅🙂*
Last Video th-cam.com/video/dvK6bBEA5hI/w-d-xo.html
AcidGlow awesome job acid. Could u potentially do morw videos with these types of characters
Doc savage, the spider, the phantom, green hornet. People like that
Do a video on the judas breed from mimic
AcidGlow you should tell us the story of the shadow king
Acid glow do a video about hecaitomex from the Blair witch games please if you can
AcidGlow he reminds me of the spirit if you know that guy
The sun is shining. But the ice is slippery.
The shadow: you will answer with but the Ice is Slippery
Agent: got it
1 week later
The Shadow: the sun is shining
Agent: but the ice is cracking?
The shadow: ....
@@AlienAbductionProductions the new modern agent haha.
I’ve never heard of this character but he sounds freaking awesome. He needs to make a comeback
Imagine batman, but instead of a batsuit and car, he f*cks your head until you confess.. Then he kills you. 😇 Maybe...
Hes never really went away, there's alot of good modern day shadow comics
you need to listen to the original radio broadcasts
I mentioned this to a few older folks, using the start of the catch phrase "Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?..." with them finishing it. Thanks for sharing!
Considering who you ask, some may say "The Shadow Do".
"Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of man... The Shadow knows.." 👹
well done
i feel the shadow is extremely underrated
the movie was ahead of its time
The movie was WAY ahead of its time. I look at it as the first super hero movie of the modern era.
I agree very very underrated character but needs to be brought back imo
The shadow, The spirit, The green hornet, The spider, The phantom, Dick tracy ahhh all the classic heroes. They don''t really make em like they use to. You should make a series about all this pulp heroes.
The Shadow is an awesome character.
I can honestly say that the Shadow is the only movie Alec Baldwin has done that I like. A lot of people panned the film but I always felt it caught the essence of the character quite well.
Me too, though I also liked The Hunt for Red October.
I liked him as mr conductor in the thomas film
He was fantastic in "The Departed" also.
but Beetlejuice!
Don’t forget the cinematic masterpiece “The Cat In The Hat”
I was already familiar with 'the Shadow', when I saw the 1994 film.
I realized that this was Bruce Wayne, & that Alec Baldwin would be a perfect Bruce Wayne--had they only leapt upon it.
There used to be a station here in Philly that would run the old radio shows.I use to read the novels and tape the radio show with my cassette player. I loved it when I was growing up.
I've read most of the Shadow Magazine stories. You used to could get them in .pdf online. Love the character.
I'd say The Shadow as a character was a combination of Batman (detective and training angle) Moon Knight (use of agents for target acquisition) and Punisher, because The Shadow had no qualms about gunning down mobsters.
Little bit of perspective on the magazines. the author turned out two novella size stories a month. On a manual typewriter. Try it.
Whereas I would say that Batman, Moon Knight, and Punisher are all Inspired by The Shadow, as his history predates all of the above.
I see what you are saying though These and many many other costumed heroes have all taken something from The Shadow, and amplified it, but None of them, Not even the Batman come close to the original for raw Bad-assitude.
@@Voodoomaria nah,they are all badass
Lmao. How is The Shadow a combination of those when those wouldn't even exist without everything they ripped off from the Shadow?
@@heroesytumbas he was saying that the shadow makes him see those several characters,😐
@@Voodoomaria I just saw the original Batman/Shadow crossover. Batman told The Shadow that he was a big inspiration to him. Also, Batman creators, from what I understand, almost bragged that Batman was a rip-off of the Shadow.
Love the movie
Yeah me too.
Same
the Fallout 4 character the silver shroud is based off the shadow
devils never cry Correct!
I thought it seems too familiar.
I was first briefly introduced to The Shadow as part of the paper I researched in HS focusing on the old radio shows but hadn't thought much about him until I saw the 1994 movie. While there are aspects of the movie which I thought could have been better, it was always the first scene in which he appear on the bridge that was the perfect view for me of the character. Much more recently, I discovered the recent Dynamite comics interpretation of The Shadow that I would suggest is must reading for anyone interested in the story line. I do believe that he is worthy of another shot on the big screen and as such, should be treated in a dark and thoughtful way.
I stumbled across him by accident because my local library had a bunch of the old radio shows available. OMG they were so awesome to listen to. And what was interesting was to think about how all the tropes and whatnot we think of as cliches for Superheroes, detective stories, etc. Were fresh and brand new when the Shadow was being aired on the radio. Just goes to show how much things have and haven't changed in nearly a century.
We need more movies of The Shadow!
I love this character. The shadow knows why.
I'm a big fan of all the golden age pulp heroes, and I am a HUGE fan of The Shadow. I have all of the currently available Radio Dramas, a complete [digital] collection of the novels, all the comic books, Including the Batman crossovers,and all the movies, serials, and the TV Pilot.
I think he's far more intimidating than Batman, Less gimicky, and just far more interesting.
Of the various "Versions" [Radio, pulp, movie, eyc.] I find the best to be the one from the pulps. He could NOT make himself invisible, but was highly skilled in using the shadows for concealment. Think the Ultimate Ninja.
Yes, I am huge fan Of the shadow! I think he’s a brilliant and underappreciated and to a point misunderstood character. I feel that he has the same greatness as any other hero if we just give him a chance on film!
This would be a great idea to bring to Netflix or Hulu it would be a very amazing show just my opinion thank you for sharing
No Netflix will ruin it. Look what they did to Cowboy Bebop.
Hulu is own by Disney
Amazing job acid 👍. Could u do more videos of the 1930s era characters
I heard of the Shadow, growing up, mostly from people who recalled the old radio shows and movies. Saw pictures here and there of the weird guy with a scarf over half his face and the startling eyes. On occasion, I'd here people emulate "The Shadow Knows" (attempt of imitating the laughter). I think I saw some live action version before the 94' movie...All I remember was thinking "HE"S a *good guy?!"*
Would have loved to have seen Rami's Shadow movie. The 90's movie was good, Taylor Dayne's song was Awesome!
Great video man
Thank you for doing this video about the Shadow I have always been a fan since I was younger really appreciate it thanks. :)
😊
You left out the utterly brilliant and post-modern Chaykin/Helfer/Siencewicz/Baker run in the comics, which greatly enlarged the mythos. You used one of their covers, however ...
The Shadow didn't inspire Batman, Batman was plagarized from the Shadow by the admission of Bill Finger (original co-creator and writer)
I love The Shadow! Been a fan since I saw the movie as a kid. I have the books on my kindle, well worth reading. Can't believe they couldn't come up with a script...
Great stuff man
Wonderful video! I discovered him on an old radio show revival in the 1970's! The Van Christo Radio Hour on WBUR!
Saw the movie in the theaters, huge fan, I agree that it is underrated.
Favorite radio show
For a second there I thought it was Dark Man. This dude sounds cool, an OG hero of sorts.
Big fan of the character. It's just too bad no one has really done him justice. There is so much there to be tapped into, but no one has really presented the character enough to really engage the super hero loving public.
I loved the movie and knew about the old radio shows. Thanks for this video!
the dynamite comics series is pretty good ive been reading a few of them and the green hornet my grandpa would tell me stories of listening to the radio plays when he was a boy so i grew up loving the shadow because he did this was a really good vid man explained things i wasnt sure on keep it up man
This was great! I loved the 90's movie.
Never heard of him. But i like him all ready ☺
When I was a kid there was a local radio station that would broadcast some of the old radio dramas. I always enjoyed The Shadow.
I like your vids this took me back i really liked the shadow movie you should do one on the phantom aswell
😁 thanks
Loved that movie, and the character!
very nice
I used to watch the movie with my papa all the time growing up and it's still one of my favorites and still a favorite character!
They should a cinematic universe with pulp and pulp style characters
It was a good movie! I do love this character and would like to see a sequel.
he's underrated what i call an underrated badass
Do more gameplay videos of gears of war ur my favorite TH-camr
Honestly, he might've been the first superhero out there. Because like, he's a crimefighter and does have superpowers, and a secret identity.
My number one absolute favorite pulp and comic hero. Ever.
Would like to see more of this guy.
Great character, great comic by M. W. Kaluta, great movie with a fantastic cast. Don’t miss the Batman crossover.
Love this do cool
Always my favorite second only to the question, the Sandman Wesley Dodds and Darkman and by long-distance cousin Batman
Damn never knew you did this video about this guy i love this movie!
I used to have tapes of the radio show, and I think I've seen them on youtube too. I also saw the 94 movie, I did see a black and white movie that was called the shadow and he might have been called lamont cranston but there wasn't any mystical elements basicly he wore a disguise at a party or something and left a bug behind then listened to find stuff out. I've enjoyed the radio plays and movies and would love to see another movie or tv show I've never read the comics so I only ever knew about Cranston but it was obvious to me in the movie that the ring was basicly like a beeper, might have flashed morse or someother code I forget.
5:36 I gotta get that book!!
Batman and The Shadow: The Murder Geniuses is an epic story and definitely a favorite.
Awesome character! Loved the movie
Heck yeah I’m a fan
It started on the radio show, the detective story hour. Then to secure the I.P. for the character The Shadow (because there were movies and radio shows being made either imitating or ripping it off by using the name Shadow) they commissioned a quarterly "The Shadow" pulp mag. They hired Walter Gibson to write the first 3 to establish the mag as a quarterly until Streets and Smith could figure out what to do with the character. However they told Gibson that if they liked it they would commission him to do another. By the time he turned in the The copy for the 3rd 1 the 1st 2 had sold out on stands so they commissioned him to keep Writing until they turned it into a monthly and then eventually a twice monthly book. Movies and TV shows didn't come out until later. It was radio books Movies Cereals...
And Batman was not influenced by the shadow. Bob Cain and bill finger straight up ripped it off and plagiarized and sometimes were and sometimes word-for-word .
i have been a fan of him -n- others dc-n-marvel since 1970,s i have 2 comics from the 1970,s with the 2 of them meeting.
9:40 I gotta get that book!!
Big FAN
Can you do one on Tchernobog from Blood? Or Caleb himself?
Is there an accident coming for character never heard of them before till now I should take a look at it
Hes just so cool! Something about the wide brim hat, duel pistols, and red scarf
I am a huge fan of The Shadow and it's cool he got to work alongside Batman my other favorite hero
In the long run, the confusion around the identity and the different names, only enhances the mystique.
Love it "The Shadow". Hope for its remake.
I don't.
I don't want it getting more ruined. Better forgotten than mutilated.
I have been a long time fan of The Batman and The Shadow.
"Inspiration", my ass. Bob Kane blatantly ripped-off The Shadow to create Batman.
John Ivan Oplimo luckily bill finger changed Batman to be a different character
Bob Kane and Bill Finger were ripping off plenty of other pulp heroes too
The old batman was, the new batman that is rebooted, reinvented etc and everyone knows and love have nothing to do with the shadow, the only version of batman that I can call "shadow ripoff" is the old gun carrying one aka the batman that no one cares about or consider to be a definitive version of his character .... look at any modern story of batman theres a TON of difference between the characters
I feel a TV show would be awesome. A Noir, Detective, Mob war show
I couldn't agree more! With the huge budgets that Netflix, Hulu, Amazon etc. can afford, I have no doubt that a dark and adult themed show would be a hit. Keep it pulpy and in the 30s/40s.
I actually loved the movie as a kid :)
I've been a fan of the shadow ever since I found recordings of the old radio shows at the library, the 94 movie had great potential, but they turned into a bad comic book adaptation, they would have been better of sticking to the original premise
It began on the radio.
Duke, did you think I wouldn't know👀
I'm a fan of The Shadow and old characters from classic comics.
One thing I've always like about The Shadow, is his lack of sympathy towards criminals.
It's become a joke at this point, but it's true, the only reason Batman constantly fights the same villans, is because he always spares them. (And because it spared Kane and Finger from having to write a new character every month.)
The Shadow doesn't just fight crime and evil, he eradicates it. He has no problem killing, he does it all the time and unlike Batman, actually manages to make criminals afraid of him.
I've always like the Shadow. I think he's the original vigilante. He has ordinary clothes. Uses guns, and the power of the mind also known as psychological warfare. I'd like to see him remade as a composite crime fighter. A combination of John Wick, Donny Yen, and make him Asian to add to his mysterious powers to cloud men's minds. Its a lot to ask of Hollywood. It would have to start in social media. Or maybe even in the real world. Who knows, only the Shadow knows.
I love this character
The Shadow is the FIRST and GREATEST Hero because he is a mere human being that through training and self discipline transcended his humanity to fight evil, he is Father to all, Lone Ranger, Zorro, Phantom, Green Hornet, Batman, V...HUMANS with no Super Powers who became LEGENDS.
Fans from Indonesia 🇮🇩
Cool character
Classic
Belmont publishers did a number of novels updated to that time in the mid-'60s ghost-written by Dennis Lynds (creator of Dan Fortune) writing as Maxwell Grant. I find them superior in style to Walter B. Gibson's original pulp stories.
God loved the movie, such a great movie, would be great if they made a perfect remake
I looked on the internet and it showed him fighting supernatural monsters
That's a cop-out. The '30s Shadow fought mobsters, corrupt pols, drug dealers, real estate swindlers, money-grubbing bankers, and other human evil exclusively, as did most of the old pulp heroes before the radio networks were prevailed upon -- by their sponsors, who were beholden to Wall Street -- to take their plots in a supernatural direction. It was felt that the human-foe storylines hit too close to home at times (Superman once fought the KKK in the late '40s!), and might lead kids to have "un-American thoughts" about the "free market", capitalism, democracy, and other real-life institutions.
Not "only".
I'm big Fan ...
He looks like stranger from Nocturne by terminal reality
I wouldn't mind another film.
His body was changing too, after metamorphosis.
One thing I never understood, why is the scarf wrapped around is mouth instead of both nose and mouth
In the Pulps the shadow disguises himself as multiple people from Lamont to kent Allard and others (Unless I'm wrong Kent allard is who he really is)
only 13 books in but the its pretty much set up to have you trying to guess who the shadow really is the only person you know he isn't for sure is Lamont because in the third book the shadow disguised as Lamont talks to the real Lamont
Anyway as you can tell by my avatar I like the shadow started reading his stuff in early 2018 and he went to my #1 spot when it comes to heroes replacing batman (the shadow is pretty much chad batman that kills best way I can describe him without going into too much detail)
Xenomorphs vs Martians
Alien VS War of the Worlds
Ever heard about the shadow I kind of like sodalis SimCity I'm going to say right now I like the look of it
Lol I used to have an action figure of this dude and the invincible man back in the day.
Quite the parallel of the Egyptian god Osiris.
