And they say Dick Grayson has the deadliest buns in the DC Universe - work that pole, Hal! Also, I didn't think there were any Silver Age shenanigans that could surprise me any more, but Hal turning himself into a robot made me do a double-take and say, "What?!".
Hal being a robot would explain his personality change in DC vs Vampires, to quote The Simpsons, “Yup, here your problem, someone set this to evil” lol
Gotta love the colouring on these older books; Green Lantern busts out his ring-created yellow listening device . . . Also: If the radiation is invisible, how is it also yellow?
It's not the only invisible yellow thing to be found in Green Lantern comics. The supervillain known as the Shark could protect himself with an invisible yellow force field.
As much as I love Silver Age Green Lantern art design, I always find the additional pupils on Hal mask to be both weird, goofy, and kinda creepy at the same time.
It's expressive. Atom and flash were similar. I wonder and think it was an attempt at realism or being more grounded than the early 50s stories. Like how the atom is always tired.
The obvious approach would be "Some evil mastermind scans Hal's brain and puts his memories into a robot that impersonates him on Earth while the real Hal is away for a day. The robot figures it out, (make it some kind of scheme to drain energy from the battery so it can still use some of Green Lantern's power) and figures out a booby trap that can foil the mastermind even after he uses the control word that puts Hal 2.0 under control). The robot is destroyed in the process of defeating his creator, so sad."
In other words it would be generic Honestly what they did is interesting and could be played with. There's the cliche of avatar, turn your self into something and have a sexy or not, similar creature take an interest ECT.
Of all the choices made in this story, the one that baffles me the most is why they had Hal do so much invisible stuff. Wouldn't it be more visually interesting if all that was visible? I've seen a lot of Hal being clumsy, and I've seen a lot of Hal being taken out by yellow things, but I haven't seen Hal slipping on a banana peel. Feels like a missed opportunity.
Is it weird that i love clumsy Hal and want this trope to be back for his character? I know a lot of Hal Jordan fans would disagree with me because it makes Hal seems like a joke, which is understanable. But for me, i love clumsy Hal and also cool Hal, my idea is keep the clumsy trait as the comedy relief but he can be cool as heck when the plot needs to. I think that would work. I miss clumsy Hal, he is so funny, my favorite is when he slip on bar soap and slam himself into a board 😔 Tho i want clumsy Hal back, i don't want him to be slip a lot :v
@@Yukooo333 Clumsy Hal was fine. He needed something like that to offset the fact the ring can literally do anything not involving 'yellow.' And he even had creative solutions regarding yellow. Hal's main strength was raw willpower. I was a big Hal fan originally, but in the end preferred Kyle or post redemption Guy.
Hal "Silver Age Klutz" Jordan. Hal "Invisible Green Stuff" Jordan. Hal "Indistinguishable from Magic" Jordan. I thought they were going to go for the idea that Hal had created a robot double that thought it was the original, then flew off to deal with some other trouble. I think that would be cool; it could lead to a confrontation where flesh GL has to convince the other that it's not the original, and that it is okay for it to go back to not existing. Maybe Hal would have to come up with some other fate for the accidental himbot, like having it date Carol when he's busy.
I love the duality that Hal "klutz" Jordan can go from tripping himself up and knocking himself out to altering his atomic structure into a robot with ease and maintaining it whilst fighting. Also that smug, mischievous face Hal does near the end is better than the whole story, it looks so odd.
The idea that Carol was attracted to Green Lantern and Hal wanting to be sure she was interested in him as himself was one of the more interesting "dilemmas" of the Silver Age.
I always wondered HOW MUCH yellow is enough to thwart the ring? Is it a gradation thing where slightly yellow will give the ring just a little trouble? Will jaundice protect you from the ring?
At some point someone needs to attach a GL with the yellow weakness to a deathtrap whose color values can be shifted with gradient controls to see at what point it's able to penetrate the defenses.
There are only a few writers I'll credit with a really good Hal Jordan. I'd say Robert Venditti did the Hal that all other Hals should be measured against; beyond that, Gerard Jones had a good take (early 90s white-templed Hal), and Mike W Barr in the early 80s knew what to do. (In fact, Barr gave us the return of Dorine and the Headmen.) Geoff Johns did some things about Hal really well, some things not so much. If DC were to offer one a run on a Hal Jordan comic, real easy way to write him: depict Sector 2814 like the Old West and Hal like a wandering lawman. Obviously it doesn't need to involve robot horses and alien schoolmarms, but set up that structure and Hal will do fine.
@@A.E754 Good point, they did solid work too. I always have trouble comparing Morrison to other writers, he's always so tied up in big concepts that it's always apples to conceptually-baffling oranges. But yeah, he did a good Hal who is brave, clever, headstrong and a touch reckless, but overall dedicated to doing the right thing as best as he can see it.
One year before this issue came out, the "Outer Limits" TV show did an episode called ' Demon with a Glass Hand', starring Robert Culp. The main character there also didn't know he was a robot, and also had a missing hand.
I think Hal just wanted to be a robot at least once, and given how the ring can do pretty much anything as long as he has the imagination and will, why not?
I was laughing out loud during the whole video; thank you!! I'm picturing Hal not quite understanding the nickname concept and introducing himself as Hal "Hal Jordan" Jordan.
What I love about Silver Age comics is that even though you need a high level of suspension of disbelief, it's actually easier. The other thing that's fun is how, each comic is in its own bubble, despite the JLA existing; this makes the people in it (even the heroes) still shocked by things that i -universe would actually be everyday fact. Another cool video.
I am good with the idea that Hal isn't the smartest superhero; that's not why he was given a ring, never has been. He got the ring because he has a solid sense of right and wrong, and he refuses to be corrupted or stopped by fear. That's a pretty good recipe for a character who will always do the right thing, but may not choose the best tactics. One take on Hal is that he's an instinctive big picture guy; he's bad with details but he can get a pretty good read on overall strengths and weaknesses intuitively. It's when he tries to think at a problem too hard that, next thing you know, he's turning himself into a robot. There's also an angle on Hal that he's so super unpredictable that even a chessmaster villain can't stand up to him. I think that misses the point of chessmasters: they understand all the angles, even what stupid or unpredictable opponents will do, and they don't give them any paths to victory. But I am more amenable to a related possibility: most schemers expect opponents to be subject to intimidation, and they don't know what to do with someone who is undaunted by needless personal risk. Like, most opponents could be tricked into a trap by putting up intimidating defenses from every other approach; Hal is the guy who will say, "okay, I think I can hop through those whirling yellow blades, and once I'm in, one punch and that guy is done." Fortune favors the bold.
Then you would love the miniseries Millenium (which was actually garbage) and its spinoffs and tie-ins, where a lot of characters (mostly supporting characters) would be retconned into either being robots or servants of robots. For example, Laurel Kent (a descendant of Superman in the 30th century, who had previously been shot by a kryptonite bullet which caused her to bleed) was revealed as having been a robot all this time.
Why is Hal creating yellow constructs? It _could_ be an inking mistake... but it could ALSO be foreshadowing thirty years in advance that he's infected with the yellow fear Parallax entity!
They made a mobster who could make robotic toys and didn't go with, "curses if only green lantern was on my side! Wait, I'll make a robot duplicate of green lantern for crime puposes!" Cmon silver age
Some of these old stories need to be reconned as dreams or Oan holodeck simulations or other such plot-onium. Also it would have been brilliant for some young child to have accidentally knocked Hal out by throwing/dropping a yellow Tonka (tm) truck at/on him
No.reason to contradict this story. But it's been rerconed half a dozen times. Nothing in particular would cause this adventure to be referenced either.
I'd leave a yellow Lego brick on the floor: he'd be de-powered and hurt his foot like hell. Silver age Hal is clumsy enough for it to work so I'd probably just theme my whole toy villain persona around yellow Lego, just for Hal.
Ok some of this doesn't even really make sense his ring should automatically protect him against radiation just by it's very nature he flies through space and it's full of all kinds of different radiation.
“Hal should use his powers but invisible more often so he’d look like a powerful telekinetic” I mean… that’s basically what he already is. The constructs are really for the sake of the artist and reader, since it’s no fun to just watch someone vaporize their opponent with their mind the moment a battle starts
I could really see the joker throwing bananas, or better yet a rubber chicken, at him and then figuring out that yellow is his weakness. He then starts beating him with a rubber chicken while it makes squeaking sounds
The one thing I can say about the cover first story later idea is that it is nice to have the stuff on the cover actually happen in the comic. Also Hal ("Chair" up) Jordan robotic crusader is something I wound have no problem seeing return.
Lol. At 7:51 Hal’s expression…”I’am in love with Carol so so much and I am so glad I did not turn her into the police OR the guardian’s, for her Identity as The Super Villain..Star Sapphire, I did the right thing.”
6:28 9/10 alternate Dr. Strange agree, having your hand in tack is good for you. Don’t do bad or reckless stuff like Punch people or driving carelessly.
I can't believe it's taken me decades to finally notice the uncanny resemblance of silver age Hal Jordan to the artist who drew him Gil Kane! I guess maybe it was because Kane drew him differently in the late 1970's and throughout the 1980's. Hard to believe that once upon a time I was able to buy such happy moments for just 25 cents. Thanks for the video!
Green Lantern with visible eyes through his mask, so like the Ryan Reynolds 2011 movie version, which wasn't the worst decision out of a movie full of them.
The best use of this trope in the superhero community has to be the episode, "System Error" from Justice League Action! Definitely worth the watch, it's written so well!
