But maybe he can be more than that.

Remember folks, Jason Todd only died because of bunch of nerds in the 80s called a hotline to vote for his death.
I mean back then Jason Todd was lame he wasn't the cool edgy character he is now he was just a copy of Dick Grayson.
Those nerds literally caused this character to be so bad ass. So kewl nerds.
@@callmejacob3234he was sort of edgy as Robin
Apparently someone set up an automated call to cast a few dozen votes for his death, and this was just enough to tip into Jason dying.
Also apparently most people voted live because they thought it was about Dick Grayson, not Jason Todd.
Wasn't the vote also rigged because some dude decided to call multiple times or smth?
It's a shame that Jason, upon being resurrected, thought that no one cared about his death, due to the fact that the Joker is still alive. In any case, his companions from the Teen Titans (especially Donna Troy and Danny Chase) would have jumped on him in tears upon seeing his old friend alive.
Since when? How were they close? Jason was never really a full time Titan especially during the Danny years.
@@notmyname5591
Danny mentioned in New Titans 55 he and Jason were close friends
Bro was trained by the world's greatest yet he isn't a good detective lmfao.
@@OptimusMaximusNerothat's just a one off. Jason barely interacted with the Titans.
If only Jason knew that Batman tried to kill Joker but he couldn't because Joker had diplomatic immunity.
Penguin saying Jason didn't had the balls to kill him might have been the dummest shit he's ever done.
Facts how did bro forget who he was talking to
"you can't shoot m-" *gets shot*
Batman legitimately laughed when someone took the tires off the Batmobile. If I was Jason I would be terrified if Batman started laughing at me
If Jason had the bravery, to steal the wheels from the Batmobile, then i don't think he would be too phased. But if i was him, i would be terrified.
Yeah bc he knows what happens
bro was able to make batman laugh and joker frown. built different
I’d be shivering in my Timbers lol
@@animationdude9Is that so?
"oh hey another vid that isn't red hoo- OH MY GOD"
i hope youre having a nice day, Jesus loves tou my friend : )
@@joshua2400 he loves "tou" too 😂😂
*Fun fact:* Jason has show numerous times to have a thing for Amazons, considering, in addition to his relationship with Artemis, his crush on Donna Troy and the kiss Diana gave him the first he met her as Robin. Our pal Jay loves to play in the big leagues 😉
Based Jason
He just like me fr
Didn't know Jason was one of the "he's just like me fr"
Based Jason
Isn't wonder woman also his favorite super hero?
.
the bizzaro and jason interaction was so unexpectedly wholesome.
Wow😊
Jason being the redeemer of the most broken rogues speaks to my soul
Best line in my opinion is "That's when he almost mentally checks out before locking the fuck in" and we've already seen what Jason is capable of so we all know shits about to go DOWN
"Because he took me away from you" gets me everytime 💔
I remember watching years ago some of the unfinished pages that showed Jason surviving. That thing literaly made me feel like I was looking at a window that showed an alternative universe
You know, funnily enough later this year (July) DC's publishing a mini-series taking place in that alternate take on the poll (they actually wrote an entire issue at the time in case the vote had him live. Now they're expanding it)
Seeing Bizarro say "What an absolute pleasure to see you again, my compatriots." is the best thing Jason Todds existence ever caused. Not because the rest is bad, but because that is too good
"The dude who dips himself in a vat of baha blast to regain his youth."😂🤣 so true💀 mullet man make more jokes like this please.
"HAHA DETECTIVE YOU ARE BANGING MY DAUGHTER!"
the biggest offender in any Batman continuity is the Justice System in Gotham
Shows the news of Batman killing Penguin.
Jason: "So, it's only ok when you kill Penguin."
Honestly, Todd should've been a redhead. Grayson black hair. Drake blond. They all lookalike.
Hasn't Jason been through enough?
isnt that the point tho? they all look like their dad
Or Maybe just a different race or ethnicity, tbh
Wasn't he for a while though?
@@RandalGravesNNbro 💀
25:06 “Batman pointed a gun at the fathers head and fired, killing him…..accidentally”
"Who would have guessed that bullets... kill people?!"
- Bruce Wayne
“This is a gun?”
I'm sure that'll hold up in court.
I *really* like that under Cheer’s drug, Bruce and Jason saw almost the exact same thing. Like, it shows that the Red Hood really is just what Batman would become if he killed the Joker and I really like that.
Regarding Tim Drake coming close to the abyss, believe it or not, he was in such a dark place during the 2000s that he considered taking his own life. He lost a lot of people. Aside from his father, he also lost two of his best friends, Conner Kent and Bart Allan, along with many other Titans during the rampage of Superboy Prime. His ability as a leader was constantly being challenged, and if I recall correctly, he felt that he was an inept leader and blamed himself for the deaths of others. Also, he was under constant pressure and feared becoming like his future Batman self, who was really cruel and essentially betrayed every code that Bruce had. He even became so desperate that he tried to clone Conner just so he could have saved something. However, Cassie Sandsmark talked him out of it and said that it would never be Conner. Something similar also happened when he wanted to resurrect his father using the Lazarus Pits, and Dick was the one who talked him out of it.
When did Tim almost commit suicide?
@@PizzaTime1983 Robin issue #156. The issue opens with Tim feeling pretty low about himself and some recent events and this continues throughout the whole issue. In the same issue he confronts a depressed kid and talks him down from jumping by basically saying, "Yeah, me too," and validating his feelings and sympathising with him. It ends with Tim telling him to just talk to someone, anyone, because it does help. Then, he acts upon his own advice and calls Dick and asks if they can talk, with Dick responding positively and trying to talk to him and make him feel better, with the Suicide Hotline advertised right next to the panel.
Oh yeah, yeah!!! I actually remembered that issue. I read it last year!!! I forgot about lol. 😂
Damn, even here, his girlfriends death is ignored. JUSTICE FOR STEPHANIE. XD
Tim Drake and Jason Todd. Two characters ruined by the new 52 and everything that came after.
Jason’s story is very relatable in the sense how you mentioned in the video “3 steps toward 2 steps backwards” because that’s how real life is sometimes everything could be fine for a lil then one thing sets you back I like how you were able to explain Jason’s story so well excellent video man!
Your way of recounting these stories never ceases to entertain me. From the highest highs to the lowest lows of the story, you make them hit hard. Keep up the amazing work, man.
Jason and Terry are my favorite members of the Batfam. I'm glad to have an entire hour talking about him, maybe Terry will get one eventually
Amazing video Mullet Man; unlike Dick Grayson, who was Batman's Greatest Success, Jason Todd really is *Batman's Greatest Failure* . Jason is one of Batman lore's most exciting and complex characters. I love his philosophy of showing Batman how his method is flawed and how when he came back, he wasn't broken by the fact that Bruce didn't save him, but Jason was truly broken, and Batman never avenged his death by killing the Joker. I really hope writers figure out a good way to utilise Jason again because, in recent comics, it seems like DC editorial doesn't know what to do with him since they always try to make him a constant anti-hero but don't seem to give Jason any exciting stories and sort of make him feel less relevant. One thing about Jason I love the most is how he follows his instincts and has used his trauma and instinct to ensure no one else suffers through the same broken system and abuse he did before meeting Batman or becoming Robin and growing up in a life of poverty with a terrible father and mother that abandoned him and used him.
Batman pummeling the shit out of Jason while he’s frantically trying to stop a massive explosion from saving his friends is so hilariously out of character
This channel is fire thanks mullet man for delivering
A really great video and a needed one for Jason. Almost everyone who talks about Jason is focused on him being Batman's greatest failure, a cool killer, or a representation of the Batman's flawed moral code. I like how you have showed Jason as a character who struggles and tries to be his own self not defied by Joker's Torture or other tragedies. I had no idead it would take 1,5 hours, it is certainly a suprise, but a very welcome one and suprising myself I watched the whole thing from the beggining to an end. Thank you very much for spending so much time and putting so much work for this video, I hope it blows up since I've been watching you for a really long time and your channel is probably my favourite comic book focused channel on YT and this Red Hood video sets a major milestone for the other comic book related channels in my perspective. Now I will be going to eat some sandwiches since I'm starving, but once again, thank you very, very much for this video!
People also idealize Jason as Batman but who kills. It's a very teenage mindset to simplify such a complicated character like Jason to DC's The Punisher.
Thanks for making your lore video on Red Hood actually hilarious. You made a good point about most of these videos and immediately made this info dump fresh and entertaining. Keep up the good work, Mullet-Man 😤
the fact that i was listening to this while using my phone and suddenly hearing "go flip your card to red michael" caught me so off guard
Craziest part of the video is telling Michael to flip his card to red. You’re invading my elementary school memories. Great video though, I’m about halfway done at this point and I’ve never read a single comic book. This is all just fantastic analysis of some great fiction.
Not gonna lie, bizzarro being smart is probably the most shocking and funniest shit in DC
Almost every Bat family member, especially Jason, can be summed up with "stop, hes already dead!"
Batman: wtf?! I told you to learn something!😂
Aight, honest to God, just finished watching the entire thing from start to finish. Really surprising since I tend to procrastinate a lot, especially for longer content but this one? I locked in man. What a wonderful, wonderful video. Two questions before I forget em. As of now, what is Jason doing in the comics? Second, did Arsenal really die? Also please cover The Hill comic when you end up reading it.
Batman used to be my favourite hero ever, I idolized him. But I remember watching Jason being killed and my entire perspective regarding Batman shattered. I do not care about the inane reasoning or the justifications given by Batman fans or the writers themselves. Batman then quickly fell out of my favourites and still is to this day. On the other hand, Jason became one of my favourites. Any media I can consume of him, I watched it/read it. Comics aren't really a commodity readily available in my country (Pakistan) so I'm really, really grateful that you covered this. I thought I knew a lot but there were TONS of things I never even heard of regarding Jason here. Such as the outlaws, the trinity etc. The moments with Bizarro were so incredibly touching and I absolutely loved the way in which you conveyed Jason's story as one of growth and overcoming hardship and never, ever giving up rather than making it one of vengeance, anger and heartbreak. I loved this video, the ending especially, thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this ♥
Same bro after Jason literally pointed out the fact that so many lives couldve been saved if Batman killed the Joker. I came to hate Batman honestly.
@Dello678 yeah, but less of a Batman exclusive thing and more of the sad reality of the format of comics. No consistent writers or unified plan for how things would go, some writers wanting to use a character so constant resurrections, and endless merchandise to make so the need to constantly reuse the most popular villains/characters.
If Batman killed Joker, then we'd get no more Joker stories and Warner Bros sits with a warehouse full of Joker funko pops. If Jason puts away his guns and gets therapy then fans would complain he wasn't interesting anymore and he was more fun as a psychopath.
@@bluecanine3374 thats why i enjoy manga and manwha way more than comics tbh
You objectively only call whatever you do not want to admit or agree with as inane. You are aware Batman is NOT REAL right? Jason Todd was factually hated by a majority of readers, which is why he was killed off. It's hilarious that "you looked at" a ficticious children's story character "differently" because of the literal probable fact that the comic runners had to get rid of an extremely unpopular character. Keeo crying
@@Dello678 One small issue I have with that arguement. Jason didn't kill Joker either.
Longform content from Mullet? God its everything I've wanted!
What was Batman's perfect dream? Celebrating Mother's Day. This is Batman's weakness: Orphan Jokes.
The Dark Trinity was an arc I didn't expect you to cover so tactfully. That Red Hood contemplated killing his buddy (which would have given him more powers) left a sour taste in my mouth when I first read the comic. In what universe does someone with that much trauma kill another person who he has a 1-to-1 kinship. However, I will never forget his desire to save Pup Pup; that was bittersweet misery.
I won't take that slander that he's, "Batman's Greatest Accomplishment." I'll die on the hill that Nightwing is The World's Finest Hero for a reason. He is the version of Batman that transcends all others, nearly carrying The Family like a second patriarch. He's Michael Corleone-the greatest son and highest in potential.
You know usually I struggle to sit and watch hour long videos like these, but you had me sat down and enthralled all the way through. Jason really is one of my favourite DC characters and being able to learn more things about his story that I didn't know before really heightened my view of him. He's a character who struggles through life, constantly being beaten down and feeling as though he's nothing but a failure to those he's held dear, and that really strikes a chord with me. But even through that, he's resilient and always manages to come back, slowly but surely. Like you said, it's always three steps forward and two steps back with Jason, and I love that about him.
Anyway, I'm gonna stop rambling before I write a 5 page essay on why I love Jason Todd. Thanks for this amazing video!
Damien just being Damien is so real💀
Love your Dpr Ian pfp
@@shyloart THANK YOU FELLOW DREAMER🫶🏽☺️
@@taeseobie 💗💗☺️
Red Hood when the Green Mask shows up:
“Shame on you, go flip your card to red.”
“Wait! I didn’t do it! I’m a good boy Mr. Mullet!!!”
I remember I was first introduced to Red Hood by the Under The Red Hood movie, and he quickly became one of my favorite comic book characters and as someone who doesn’t have easy access to comics I’m grateful you made this video
my name is michael but I didnt end up skipping I would be freaking out if I did
It's been decades
.
Thanks for your hard work
What I find so interesting about The story where Robin May or may not have pushed an ambassador’s son off of a balcony is that not only is it left up to interpretation on whether or not Robin actually killed him but it’s also left up to the reader to decide if it was the right thing to do.
I’m not going to say what is the right or wrong thing to do in that situation as you can make a valid argument either way. But what I find interesting is how the story started with the ambassadors kid making up a lie where his victim just slipped, and now Robin is claiming the man he “scared” just slipped off of the balcony
This vid just amplifies why I’m a huge red hood fan, I’m just attracted to really broken characters and if Jason isn’t broken, then I don’t know what broken is
"I allowed him to have hope... And it killed him." - Bruce Wayne on Jason Todd.
DAMN. That line hit my heart like a sledgehammer.
My god. The months-long wait was golden…
There’s no good word such as “tragic”, “stoic”, or “depressing” in referencing Todd’s hellish life.
He is…everything humanity harbours as feelings at the same time. Be it suffering, death, loss.
How much he’s betrayed or faced unspeakable horrors; he never flinches. Yes, he does react. But that doesn’t make him give up.
“Endearing”. I guess he truly is Batman’s greatest achievement’, mentioned the great Mullet-Man Comics.
Personally, Red Hood is nothing but majestic story-telling. 100/100 video presentation!
Please don’t tell me I am not the only one who love an appearance of, “The Blue Hood,” in future comics, I think Andy would be an amazing character as a hero
What a great vid!
I hope there are more Red Hood stories to come. I remember finding out about RH from the Batman Brave and the Bold, been in love ever since!
Thanks a lot for the vid. You're doing great work.
I'm choosing to refuse and rebuke any and all intimacy of the Outlaws past friendships for that is pure sacrilege.
3 steps forwards and 2 steps back is still a step forwards, and I rly hope he gets a happy ending soon on god
Great stuff! Thanks for doing this HUGE recap, must have taken so much work.
It's was actually failure of fans, and Alfred who always is the one to push Dick, Jason and Tim to Be Robin, as The Batman always wanted to live safe not to be Robin that was the whole reason The Batman acts cold to them so They would leave because they don't listen when its says so to The colour of bright was also thier choice as the one of the fights The Batman told them was not to do so but they wanted to continue thier parents legacy that why Batman didn't taunt it but tries When ever it gets to not let them involve in any of the stuff but people still blame That Batman's be egoist but they don't realised The Batman is doing that to protect them.
ive been waiting for a proper redhood video for more than a year and i been watching almost every vid of urs love each one of them
I'd really love to see a video on Tim Drake, he's always been my favourite Robin and I feel like he isn't covered enough and that you'd really do him justice
genuinely one of the best videos about jason todd, i love his character so much as it is and this video topped it off! well done!
Your videos keep getting better and better 🎉🎉
Anytime somebody comes to say "Jason sucks" i gotta come to his defense. Ide recommend everyone go read Lost year i believe it's called!
Jason sucks
I know where you live. @@killmonger5097
I'm definitely one of those that throw your videos on for work and such where I can listen; it's a bummer in a way cause I miss the art but you interpret a good story. Can't wait for more!
Jason Todd is a prime example of letting a grudge consume you. He would never have picked up a gun if he had just understood and forgiven Bruce. I think all he wanted was to know that his death really affected Bruce, that it meant something deep. And that his return was all that more meaningful to Bruce. But you can always forgive, regardless of people's actions (or lack thereof).
That's the inherent tragedy to the character. He came back and confronted Bruce and Bruce didn't bat an eye since Jason was literally cosplaying as Hush. He and Bruce were just dealt horrible hands with circumstances actively working against them.
For me the best version of Jason is the "dark trinity" one(the one with artemis and bizarro), for me it shows jason's charcter very well, in surface, in his mask, he is a ruthless brutalist killer, that targets criminals and "puts an end to evil for good" by killing every criminal he encounters, but in the inside, hes scared, he has a warm heart and he fears getting hurt again, he thought the one person that he loved the most just saw him as a placeholder, replacable, worthless, but the thing with jason, is that hes kind, he saved his mother even after she betrayed him, he respects Tim for him being bold and not backing down even he should hate Tim since hes the ome who replaced him, and he admires Nightwing like the big brother he wanted to have, and when he met bizzarro, he knew that he couldnt let him be like what he is, bitter with life, from his past, being incapable of moving on and with the world setting him back making him unable to letting his traumas go, the compassion he shows to bizzarro, artemis and arsenal shows that Jason is a kind guy and he whants to do good, he just thinks difirently and has other ways to do that, i would love if Jason made like a Teen Titans with artemis, bizzarro and arsenal where they take care of the lesser crime and leave to batman to take on the big names like Joker, Two-face, Penguin(if he wasnt fuckin shot in the head), etc, and Jason gets everything he wanted all along, to live with a family, that cares deeply for him and would stop at nothing to be there for him and show their affection, and oh goodness if he had that white strand of hair it would be the best comic series for me, ten fold- no, ten thousand fold.
Hush’s H symbol on his chest being an R when jason todd disguises as him, despite his entire costume looking nearly identical is so extra but great 36:04
The sheer amount of effort put into this video is astounding, you were so funny with your reactions to some of the crazier parts of the comics!!! Thank you so much for making these, you put a lot of personality and energy into them and it's very well appreciated!
"gets griddyd on by the joker" is something i never thought i would hear.
when i was little, watching batman and justice league cartoons, i never thought i'd become so emotionally attached to these stories years later... here i am as an adult and im even more obsessed with it than i was as a kid
The way Jason was about to end Bizzaro reminded me of Mice and Men.
Lmfao “until a fuckin nuke goes off in bludhaven” 😂😂😂😂😂
This video was a tremendous effort and I thank you dearly for it brother. JSON Todd freaking rocks and we love him despite how complicated he might be !
Where's the red hood video
Red Hood, when using weaponry to actually end villains, was the BEST of the bat-family and Batmans greatest triumph, imo.
the fact jason gets mad at bruce for replacing him and getting another robin as if he wasn't the first robin to get replaced is wild not even the one who came up with robin
I think it's the part of him being replaced after dying.It's kind of thing to mess with him.Not just the concept of being replaced but the death
He feels as if he were just a soldier, and a bad one at that.
@@thebiggusdonnus8453 more like he wanted batman to not take up anymore children to fight with him. Probably the main reason.
As someone who dismissed Red Hood for a long time as "The Edgy Robin with guns" this completely changed my view of the character. I don't really read comics, but always love your videos. Thank you so much for all the time/energy/research you put into this video in particular, absolutely kick ass work.
Just found this channel a few days ago and have been binging all your videos! Thanks Mullet-Man
Thank you for making this, I've only recently gotten more interested in Jason and this was an amazing video.
Watched it all the way through. I think it's your best video yet, well done.
Ngl i love red hood in arkham knight. Or in general there's a very deep story with him And its kinda sad.
Hey man, I know this took a while and probably hours upon hours of reading and research on your end. Just wanted to drop a comment and say thanks for the work you put in. I usually leave these videos on while doing something else, because of the way I am, but your passion and care in explaining this character really made me stop my stuff and just watch. Even doing my own research and dive into Red Hood. I wasn't even really that big a fan of it all, but something in this video did it, and it's not just that it was an hour long deep dive. Anyway, hope you're doing well, and keep doing what you're doing.
I always wondered if Gotham villains noticed the different Robins. Here comes Crazy Quilt.
Just found this channel about 2 days ago, I’ve been binging it almost nonstop. I appreciate the content and hard work you put into the videos man. Just wanted to say thanks for educating me on somethings I wouldn’t have the time to myself because of life
my god an hour and a half length video from the man of the mullet himself. just finished it and the wait was sooooo worth it. damn good video and a muuuuuch needed distraction.
Great video. There were large swathes of the outlaws era stuff I didn't know about that was really interesting to hear about!
23:26 "I gently open the door"
Great video! I love your usual vids, but longform content is definitely something I crave
The scary part however is according to the Back Issue of Red Hood and the Outlaws # 0 Joker is also secretly the reason Jason ever became Robin in the first place, combine that with The Jokers moves to release Zur En Ar from deep within Bruce and The Future from Joker Year One, where Joker basically proves not only has he been holding back.
But that he's also always had the ability to beat Batman whenever he wanted if he ever really wanted to, Jason is more than one of Batman's Greatest lost. He's the lost Batman got out smarted on at every level. Something which writers need to break (not recon but have Jason and his family rise above) in some epic story later on.
First video I saw on this channel, and wow so good, feels like I experienced decades of amazing stories in a hour and a bit. You’ve got a new fan
Amazing video!! Thank you for this, there's too many comics and not enough time
Amazing video, honestly all of this reminds me of the turning point with the contest. Maybe you could do a separate video analyzing the other outcome of what if jason lived as they actually did write out the stories for both when the contest happened. I know its not as interesting as the jason we got now but i do still think its fascinating considering how he could have been versus how he is now, all and all though fantastic video 👍
Listening to this while working was a blast. Thanks for the video and keep it up!!! ❤
This was awesome dude you definitely deserve that nap. I’ll admit I never read the comics of Jason but I’ve known about and understood him. This video helped with that also I plan to check some of those comics you showed at the end.
amazing video dude. i thought i knew everything about jason but i learned a few things
Great video, man! Thanks for all the hard work making it!
Hahaha! well your videos are very relaxing. It's a lot of people's comfort watch, i know they take time to make so i appreciate you making them.
That was awesome man 🔥 ive never really read comics but always loved the shows. This channel has been awesome for me to get to know all the crazy dark unhinged madness that the comics seem to have so mich more of 😂
I came from comics explained... this video showed me that you need to mention the good ones too... I like your channel because it feels like you're going up against the UA-cam world... You're the peter parker still doing good putting out videos we need against all negativity. Keep it up mullet. with great power comes great responsibility
47:35 man had to pull out the bat blicky
lmfao okay the "A new Batman shows up, with guns" made me laugh super hard. This video is incredible.
You should talk about Duke Thomas I saw him when Red Hood was calling the bat family to aid him
Really amazing video!!! Thank you for covering RH/Jason 🙏🏻 and you're so right about picking and choosing the characterisations and endings for our blorbos; I was introduced to Gotham War by some friends simply from how bad it is, and every single time I thought it couldn't get worse, well...
I also wanted to know if Roy is okay after what happened at Sanctuary! Honestly it would be very fun if Jason and Roy can team up again ala Buddy Daddy style featuring Lian 🥺🥺
I love your videos man. Thank you so much for making these and for existing :)
Jason is so well written, up until after Under The Red Hood. He's been SO stagnant for the last bit(like most characters now). He doesn't kill, he doesn't feel accepted by the family(because he isn't), then kills someone, is beat up, heals, and then is welcomed back.
Which is a damn shame, because he's SO interesting. As a foil to the standard hero trope, to batman's version of justice and his mental health and to what it means to be a hero. He also is so cool as a redemption arc, because he DOESN'T become your standard hero. He still kills, but with more empathy and care for the people.
More long videos! This was a joy to watch
