Imagine a whole DCEU green lantern cinematic universe where it’s like the dceu or mcu but it’s just green lantern movies and spin offs that can also include other heroes but then it all leads up to blackest night 💯
A whole side universe, in cinema with green lanterns and then occasionally have the core guys popping up in the Justice League movies. Honestly that would be amazing
I can kinda understand though not to excuse Nekron. Life can be an unruly 1-2 year old, with all there wisdom teeth coming in. You know, like a universe of them. 😂😂😅😅
2:00:53 The look on Atrocitus’ face was so good. He saw this exact future, so the moment he saw that black ring was the moment I think his rage turned into utter terror, realizing the day he foresaw was finally here, and he wasn’t ready for it.
I've heard Nekron reconciled with Death of the Endless in two different ways. One is that they represent different aspects of death, and another is that Nekron is an aspect of death while Death of the Endless is straight up just death. They can have overlap while still being seperate entities.
Merry Christmas Rob Corps! This story has tremendous sentimental value for me: my best friend of 20 years committed suicide in early 2011 and this was the last series of comics that we read together. Thank you so much for compiling it all in to one comprehensive volume! Being reminded of this story in its entirety really brought back some good memories and emotions. You're a legend man!
Very similar story here...y best friend took his life when we were 15. We never read this or any other comics together, but he was really obsessed with this story. So I read it after he passed and it became my favorite comic as well. Then with the help of our school wood-shop teacher I made all 9 different power rings and gave them to his parents.
I'm really impressed by the variety of all the additional spectrum lanterns. The way Avarice can only have one ring bearer, red actually replacing there heart and blood, love being toxic instead of all fluff. Not often do we see comics expanded with such great concepts
These full story videos must take so much effort. Ungodly amount of respect for the effort all comic content creators put into their videos, especially these
Tyler Blank before I even clicked the vid, I saw the time and was gonna say the same thing. Here's to hoping we'll get all major stories just like this.
You didn’t talk about it since it was just a tie in, but one of the best fights with the black Lanterns was in blackest night flash. When the rogues faced off against black lantern version of their former teammates, and they forced themselves to stop feeling anything long enough to kill them. What made t even better was seeing the emotional light in captain cold slowing fade out into gray empathy from his black lantern sisters perceptive.
I'm mostly a Marvel guy, but Green Lantern has been one of my favorite superheros going back to the days of the original Superfriends show. Fantastic video, man! I subbed before I'd even got halfway through it :)
I may be late on these but I'm here now. I like the guys that read the comics and do the voices but I like how you relate the comics to real life. Lanterns cool because of the necessity of emotion. I really like when you said they came together to not die which is a selfish reason but selfishness is not inherently evil. I think it's a tough pill for us to swallow that we are all selfish at least to the point of... not dying. Keep it up. I'm grateful for your stuff. Robcorp!!!
This was a massive marathon to go through, but it was worth it! Thanks Rob, this was one of the "classic" full stories I was really interested in listening you talking about. Cheers!

Hello Sir. I just wanted you to know I have been watching your videos for about a year. Your impact on my interest in Marvel/DC comics has been immeasureable. I owe my growing obsession of the full story lines to you. I sincerely appreciate your efforts. I can't imagine the work you have to put into this channel and I am grateful for your knowledge and passion.
Blackest Night is easily my favourite DC and comic book event of all time. It has some of the most amazing artwork and storytelling I’ve ever seen and the build up to it was awesome and the execution was even better. The rings choosing Barry, Diana, Scarecrow, Mera, Atom and Luthor was cool as hell to see. Especially Avarice for Luthor and Fear for Scarecrow, that’s just genius, it works so well . I think my favourite moment from the story is when Barry says “ *Life* doesn’t give *us* purpose, Black Hand. *We* give *life* purpose” I cried reading that because my Uncle recently passed before I finished this book and that quote couldn’t be more true
Yeah, I wouldn't do well with most of the rings. Even the Indigo Tribe which holds the ring I most connect with, they reserve it for the most horrific psychopathic murderers in the galaxy.
That was great and well worth the time to listen. Thanks for doing what you do man, this is my daily cup of coffee in the morning on my way to work and heading home. Loved this story and everyone you’ve done so far.
Jack Boy, if executed right is key. So far, DC has a low batting average as of late. I mean, they screwed up Green Lantern with one of the most lovable male actors ever. If they did Green Lantern right, Ryan would have made the perfect Hal Jordon. They touched on a lot of cannon stuff but boy, did they twist it and they did the too soon with Sinestro going yellow.
That80sGuy1972 To do Blackest Night right, they’d basically need to have 15-20 years of good movies to build up to this. Unfortunately WB doesn’t seem to understand that you can’t rush these kind of stories; they need to build over many years of continuity spread out across many heroes. And you’ll never even get that far if you don’t treat the characters with the same respect the comic writers and fans do.
I like how during the preludes, the difference corps were just playing tug-of-war with Hal Jordan. It's just funny when you take a step back and look at it from afar...
oh c'mon. the omega beam can send people through time now? or is it just that 1 time for Batman's sake? Batman has the most powerful cosmic entity "Plot Armor" dangling from his bat-sac. others know it as "Prep Time" yet are unaware of it's true identity
Maaaaaaannnnnn, lemme tell ya, man, oh my God!!! Rob, I love your breakdown of the comics I read as a kid and today’s runs as well. These are better then NetFlix. Thank you man 😁✊
I’m so poor. I listen to these to pass the time because theirs nothing to eat. I don’t want to hear about how you’ve slept too well and had the best breakfast. It’s always about you, you’re making this for us.
I've been working 3rd shift for about a year now and can't stand it anymore, your vids (plus a lil herbal essence 👌😅) make my nights 100% more tolerable. Shout to you bro! #RobCore
This is why I want there to be a Injustice 3 Blackest Night Story. So much of the Injustice storyline hints at a possible Black Lantern invasion. The death of numerous heroes and villians. Hal Jordan turning evil and redemmed. Sinestro being imprisoned. The introducrion and faliure of Atrocitus trying to recuit Hal into the red lanterns. The Green lanterns being nearly destroyed. Its as though the stories somewhat reflect the prelude to this story line. Some things in the main storyline would be tweaked, but this storyline would be perfect.
The Guardians have a strong starwars prequel jedi-council energy. Also love how they stripped away their emotions, but still *feel* disappointed in John not accepting the Alpha lanturn role. 10/10
30:40 Huh, a bunch of old dudes who don't have emotions and fight evil space people, and decide to ban love because they think it could end badly? So basically The Jedi?
Rob, I just want to say thanks for this, and really, thanks for all your content. Honestly, iys my most enjoyable channel on youtube. Simply love the way you break down a story for us, in a simple way. Thank you :)
subbed. this was the best 3hr video I've seen on YT since the beginning. loved it. I didnt thnk I would sit here for 3.5-ish hours but you got me hooked. Im not a comic book fan but i think I would like to read this arc(? saga?) in its entirety.
I wish I had the love and excitement for something the way you do for these comics! You do an amazing job bringing these stories to life! Huge fan thank you for your amazing storytelling!
John Stewart is the first Green Lantern I learned about or the obvious reason of Justice League. So for me when I saw Hal Jordan I was like “yo who is this”. John was really cool to me. I didn’t own or know all the much about comics when I was younger and so the show was my introduction to a lot of the heroes nowadays
As far as the Endless, didn't they just embody the concept? As far as continuity, Death of the Endless was the embodiment of death as the end. If I remember correctly, she had even said that she would even be taking the entire universe itself "locking the door on the way out". So Nekron was more along the 'emotional' death, like apathy. Death of the Endless, was there at the first birth, and will be there at the last death. So you could say Death of the Endless was there the moment the Monitor was. When you think of the Endless of DC Universe, think along the lines of an Infinity Stone from Marvel. So, like an infinity stone, there are others that channel aspects of their power. Like a demigod, or like the lantern rings.
Brightest Day starts next week! MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!

The rings choosing Barry, Diana, Scarecrow, Mera, Atom and Luthor was cool as hell to see. Especially Avarice for Luthor and Fear for Scarecrow, that’s just genius, it works so well .

real_g 30 No, its multiple videos spliced together, he didn't do this in one sitting.
That80sGuy1972 To do Blackest Night right, they’d basically need to have 15-20 years of good movies to build up to this. Unfortunately WB doesn’t seem to understand that you can’t rush these kind of stories; they need to build over many years of continuity spread out across many heroes. And you’ll never even get that far if you don’t treat the characters with the same respect the comic writers and fans do.

You say "Because of the fact" an awful lot lol. Great video, I don't read comics at all, these are so great to listen to on the side.
oh c'mon. the omega beam can send people through time now? or is it just that 1 time for Batman's sake? Batman has the most powerful cosmic entity "Plot Armor" dangling from his bat-sac. others know it as "Prep Time" yet are unaware of it's true identity
I love the blue lanterns, I feel that hope is beyond all other emotion
Maaaaaaannnnnn, lemme tell ya, man, oh my God!!! Rob, I love your breakdown of the comics I read as a kid and today’s runs as well. These are better then NetFlix. Thank you man 😁✊
I’m so poor. I listen to these to pass the time because theirs nothing to eat. I don’t want to hear about how you’ve slept too well and had the best breakfast. It’s always about you, you’re making this for us.
I may catch hell for this - but how you described Hal Jordan’s death as Paralax reminded me of Chris Benoit
I've been working 3rd shift for about a year now and can't stand it anymore, your vids (plus a lil herbal essence 👌😅) make my nights 100% more tolerable. Shout to you bro! #RobCore
Young King Kush let me guess Amazon
Justin Last 😂😂😂😂
Ya know, it’s Corps*
Same
This is why I want there to be a Injustice 3 Blackest Night Story. So much of the Injustice storyline hints at a possible Black Lantern invasion.
The death of numerous heroes and villians. Hal Jordan turning evil and redemmed. Sinestro being imprisoned. The introducrion and faliure of Atrocitus trying to recuit Hal into the red lanterns. The Green lanterns being nearly destroyed. Its as though the stories somewhat reflect the prelude to this story line. Some things in the main storyline would be tweaked, but this storyline would be perfect.
Drinking game!
For every "One of the things to keep in mind", "Basically" or similar, take a drink. For "This is huge", take two.
The Guardians have a strong starwars prequel jedi-council energy.
Also love how they stripped away their emotions, but still *feel* disappointed in John not accepting the Alpha lanturn role. 10/10
This is so comprehensive. I appreciate your time. Thank u.. "...all will be well..."
30:40 Huh, a bunch of old dudes who don't have emotions and fight evil space people, and decide to ban love because they think it could end badly?
So basically The Jedi?
Yeah green lanterns are basically jedi
Rob, I just want to say thanks for this, and really, thanks for all your content. Honestly, iys my most enjoyable channel on youtube. Simply love the way you break down a story for us, in a simple way. Thank you :)
I can honestly say, that was the longest videos I've watched on TH-cam. 👍👏
soreal091987 not me longest one was seven hours
Superman with a blue lantern ring would go hard af!
You should do more videos like this compilation, most people don't have access to these entire stories. I love it !
this video has more flashbacks than all sports anime ever existed!
Well now i know what I’m doing while I’m waiting for the old white guy with the white beard and the red jump suit
Santa
*"Blackest Night"* needs to become an Animated Movie or an Animated T.V. Series!
Immediate R rating
subbed. this was the best 3hr video I've seen on YT since the beginning. loved it. I didnt thnk I would sit here for 3.5-ish hours but you got me hooked. Im not a comic book fan but i think I would like to read this arc(? saga?) in its entirety.
I wish I had the love and excitement for something the way you do for these comics! You do an amazing job bringing these stories to life! Huge fan thank you for your amazing storytelling!
John Stewart is the first Green Lantern I learned about or the obvious reason of Justice League. So for me when I saw Hal Jordan I was like “yo who is this”. John was really cool to me. I didn’t own or know all the much about comics when I was younger and so the show was my introduction to a lot of the heroes nowadays
As far as the Endless, didn't they just embody the concept?
As far as continuity, Death of the Endless was the embodiment of death as the end. If I remember correctly, she had even said that she would even be taking the entire universe itself "locking the door on the way out".
So Nekron was more along the 'emotional' death, like apathy.
Death of the Endless, was there at the first birth, and will be there at the last death.
So you could say Death of the Endless was there the moment the Monitor was.
When you think of the Endless of DC Universe, think along the lines of an Infinity Stone from Marvel.
So, like an infinity stone, there are others that channel aspects of their power. Like a demigod, or like the lantern rings.
Videos like these will be your bread and butter.
Orange and White are my favourite pretty much just because they each only rlly have one member and I love both those characters.
