I guess it was the over-exposure to Cerebro-radiation that caused enough brain damage for Hal to finally lose it and become Parallax. This is plausible for continuity purposes.
I just love that Hal and the aliens do the same thing for opposite results. Aliens: we will give Green lantern more and more radiation until he becomes susceptible to a massive dose of radiation and becomes insane. Hal: I will give myself more and more radiation until I become immune to a massive dose of radiation and become sane.
Silver Age DC always created one-off alien races that were never seen again. The Groll should return; we don't have enough mohawk wearing extraterrestrials nowadays...
It wouldn't be the first time I questioned the Corps like why they keep letting Darkseid, Brainaic, mongul running around, conquering planets. " No evil shall escape my site" indeed 😂😂😂
Darkseid is stronger than the entire corps and guardians combined. They CAN'T stop him. Just look at what happened them when they tried in "Apokalips War".
As for Darkseid he is well a God... but yeah why the hell don't they stop Mongul and his stupid wanna be Death Star? (Also before anyone comments i know War World is way more powerful than the Death Star but if you read any Superman youll see that he stops the War World almost everytime easier than Luke and the Death Star)
"Jump for Hal, jump!" Loved that. Also I never noticed Hal was quite that thicc before. Maybe it was the angle but he could give Nightwing a run for his money.
I remember Tom from a comic I read where defeated the Justice League with Hal's ring. He strapped Batman to a light constructed rocket and flew him away. It was a really somber story set after Hal becoming evil.
Yeah, the invisibility thing is something that the Lanterns should do more often. Hell, even Alan Scott had that power with his ring in the Golden Age (which some would argue was more needed with Alan's costume, but whatever).
Honestly I enjoy learning about Tom and how much of a bro he is! I'm sad that he's basicly gone forever in modern comics since outside of the core, eachother, and whatever living family they have most Lanterns have very little to none earth based supporting cast, especially Hal. I'd love an updated version of him to see how modern Hal interacts with someone who isn't an alien or fellow Cape. Who knows, maybe if Tom makes a return then we can get klutzy Hal back too!
I've read comics that retell Hal's first meeting with Tom. "You're an Eskimo? The only Eskimo I know is Eskimo Pie." If not outright racist, because Hal doesn't think Tom is inferior, it is racially insensitive.
It's interesting that Hal Jordan in all ages (Silver age, Bronze Age, Modern age) is depicted as being the most powerful GL ever and that if he was a villain then he would unstoppable which actually happened in the 90's when he became Parallax.
This Silver Age power ring talk is making me wonder what would have happened if Green Lantern had been the sole superhero of the Earth-Prime, instead of Superboy.
Could you imagine if Atrocitus or Sinestro tried that power ring for a dollar thing? Since apparently Hal and them can multiply their own power rings from one.
I love how radiation is something you can just become immune to by exposure. Dangerous radiations are really the exact opposite of that from my layperson's understanding. There's an amount of exposure you have before it starts doing serious damage and it doesn't really even really matter how much time passes inbetween.
Could you please do a history of Starfire (with a little bit of blackfire as it pertains)??? Her backstory is super interesting but I lost track of her in the comics and don’t know her origins as of Rebirth. Love your channel btw nerds of color need representation 🙈
Did you do videos on how Guy and John became Lanterns? One of the first Justice League books I ever bought had John's first story. It fits in with the holidays; Santa is part of the cover! (I almost feel bad putting it that way.)
I'm not sure if he was the first, but there was an earlier "Pie Face" in the UK's Beano comic from the 1950s. He just ate pies all the time and was one of Dennis the Menace's mates. It's "Fatty" who got renamed, but they kept drawing him fat… We called my cousin pie face because he had a round, fat, slab face, kinda blank like a pork pie… kids are cruel… but not (it seems) as clumsy, clueless or violent as Hal!
Awesome video but I'll like it all I can imagine is people being unaware that their rings will only last for 24 hours so now you have all these flying people just falling to the Earth. Oh Hal!
Sasha! This might be a silly question but - Why do you need subtitles for the wonderful Alien Groll voice (Your character voices are heaps of Fun) when the words are already in the speech bubble? Becoz they are Yellow? love Steve Holliday P.S I missed the usual Kawaii Bye-Bye
Was Hal careful to not sell rings to anyone wearing yellow? Cause, you know... necessary impurity in the Silver Age? Total non sequitur... ever since GLC Annual #3 in 1987, my favorite member is Rot Lop Fan... who I guess isn't actually a member the Corps since he's not technically a Green Lantern?
The mohawk aliens should see a doctor about their swollen tongues - they sound a bit strange. The silver age has left us with so many unanswered questions.
your mohawked aliens voice reminds me of richard nixon. I can't remember if he really talked like that or that's just how he sounds as comedically portrayed in Futurama (I've been rewatching episodes recently...cos it's great). But yeah. Love your videos and presenting style. :)
So - Hal sells a bunch of rings - then sky writes to encourage the people to FLY. Did any of those rings come with a disclaimer that in 24 hours from the time I created them your ring will run dry - so don't be flying then. When did Hal create the rings - an hour ago, as they bought them - it matters if people are FLYING with them. Did he even follow up on those that bought the rings - I don't think so. The reason no one got sore - I guess he mind controlled them not to! I LOVE the Silver Age!!
Hi Sasha I was wondering if you could look into first appearence of term "capeshit"? I was wondering if it was something recent with movies or went back to early comics times. I had no luck searching myself so I thought it might make a good topic.
1:05 "Look at the wad that guy's bringing over. "Umm.... Excuse me, Sir. One per customer." It doesn't actually say that. Some people could have bought ten for all I know: One for each finger. Twenty: Their toes too." Twenty One for the men...... You know why. 8:15 "Other Planets? Fine. Just leave ours alone though. That's some other Lantern in some other sector's problem." But now the Grolls will be "Over there" and "Over there" has to look out for itself.
Sasha -- If you enjoy Silver Age goofiness, you should check out "Herbie" -- Dark Horse has collected them into archive editions. Herbie Popnecker appears to be, as described by his dad, "a little fat nothing" (how's that for parenting?) but possesses amazing abilities (which vary in the deus ex machina needs of any particular story). Silly and funny and always enjoyable -- even 50+ years later.
I could be watching the Star Trek Picard episodes I haven't seen yet or be reading Harry Potter (like I have been wanting to do for a long time), but nope because I can't stop watching her videos!! There so good and make laugh so hard!! Lol
I love the fact that the only thing Hal is good at is flying planes and being green lantern. He’s a failure at everything else. I hated in the 2000 when they tried to say Hal was cool.
the 1st was definitely better, being true to the time in which it was written. the 2nd was goofy too, but was more contrived. an odd complaint in such a genre, but there it is.
I've been reading early Justice League and boy, the Green Lanterns powers were virtually unlimited. The rest of the League were there only for things that were yellow.
Here's a question that occurred to me: How many of those people were a thousand feet in the air when their rings ran out of power? "Oh, hey, I forgot to mention..."
The aliens called. They wanna sue for the cultural appropriation of their speech pattern... Seriously though, that was amazing, especially the tongue clicking lol
Is the Mandarin just too proud to admit he got his rings at Hal Jordan's suitcase sale?
That was my first thought! 😅
I guess it was the over-exposure to Cerebro-radiation that caused enough brain damage for Hal to finally lose it and become Parallax. This is plausible for continuity purposes.
I just love that Hal and the aliens do the same thing for opposite results.

These days they mostly live on in Fist of the North Star parodies, mohawks that is.
It wouldn't be the first time I questioned the Corps like why they keep letting Darkseid, Brainaic, mongul running around, conquering planets.
" No evil shall escape my site" indeed 😂😂😂
Darkseid is stronger than the entire corps and guardians combined. They CAN'T stop him. Just look at what happened them when they tried in "Apokalips War".
Darkseid and Brainiac are beyond the Green Lanterns and the Guardians of the Universe.
They won't be much of a corp if they're committing suicide
As for Darkseid he is well a God... but yeah why the hell don't they stop Mongul and his stupid wanna be Death Star? (Also before anyone comments i know War World is way more powerful than the Death Star but if you read any Superman youll see that he stops the War World almost everytime easier than Luke and the Death Star)
@@zombiekilldemon I've read it but the fact that one guy stopped him instead of the Corps proves something.
Wow, I just shocked that Hal sold Green Lantern rings. Especially that it was written twice.

@@conanpickett9423 Omg!!! Really?
"Jump for Hal, jump!" Loved that.
Also I never noticed Hal was quite that thicc before. Maybe it was the angle but he could give Nightwing a run for his money.
There was a tumblr blog dedicated to Hal's thicness back in the day lol good times
But the real question is... "WhY wOuLd HaL dO tHiS?!!!!!"
I remember Tom from a comic I read where defeated the Justice League with Hal's ring. He strapped Batman to a light constructed rocket and flew him away. It was a really somber story set after Hal becoming evil.
The Last Will And Testament Of Hal Jordan
Yeah, the invisibility thing is something that the Lanterns should do more often. Hell, even Alan Scott had that power with his ring in the Golden Age (which some would argue was more needed with Alan's costume, but whatever).
Only instance that comes to my mind is Kyle using it during Identity Crisis, they really should use it more often...
I knew that was one of Alan Scott's powers, but I had no idea it was even a thing for the other Green Lanterns.
Honestly I enjoy learning about Tom and how much of a bro he is! I'm sad that he's basicly gone forever in modern comics since outside of the core, eachother, and whatever living family they have most Lanterns have very little to none earth based supporting cast, especially Hal. I'd love an updated version of him to see how modern Hal interacts with someone who isn't an alien or fellow Cape. Who knows, maybe if Tom makes a return then we can get klutzy Hal back too!
Hal has lots of earth based supporting cast. Hes still got tom (he spoke to him in grant Morrison's series) and a bunch of old girlfriends
Hal scared me back when I was a kid. I was expecting something like Parallax to happen sooner or later, more likely by accident.
I've read comics that retell Hal's first meeting with Tom. "You're an Eskimo? The only Eskimo I know is Eskimo Pie." If not outright racist, because Hal doesn't think Tom is inferior, it is racially insensitive.
Racial insensitivity is the gateway drug to racism.
At least there was less inproper characterization, i'll settle for Hal and his OP, broken ass shit, powerhouse silver age ring.
U know who'd never sell rings so cheap? The Orange Lanterns! Although if one did it would really be a sign that something was wrong...
I actually bought one of those GL rings; didn't work all that well. I was flying until I crashed into a building!
It's interesting that Hal Jordan in all ages (Silver age, Bronze Age, Modern age) is depicted as being the most powerful GL ever and that if he was a villain then he would unstoppable which actually happened in the 90's when he became Parallax.
huh! your right. as bat shit as that was it was definitely more interesting then the 2000 one. but damn Hal. thats some batman level of preparation
So he only needed One Ring to rule the world?
Hal can sell Loics wedding rings that disappear when Superman wants them to.
"Because reasons", the plot explanation for those writers too lazy to come up with actual plot
The 24-hour rings are a wonderful idea. Especially if they expire while the buyers are mid-flight. It's raining men! Hallelujah!
I just love your videos...especially those voices you do! Hilarious!!😂
They didn't need to go to all this trouble, just make like a soap opera wait for him to hit his head and get amnesia. Boom! Instant brainwashing.
Wasn’t even the last time we saw Hal’s I’m About to Destroy Myself face. Like in the Gift. Except that wasn’t funny. It was just bad.
This Silver Age power ring talk is making me wonder what would have happened if Green Lantern had been the sole superhero of the Earth-Prime, instead of Superboy.
Thank you. These dramatic readings are the first time I've laughed in days.
Could you imagine if Atrocitus or Sinestro tried that power ring for a dollar thing? Since apparently Hal and them can multiply their own power rings from one.
Love how they brought back the ring duplication in the New 52 when Sinestro was reinstated. That'd be a great story to compare/contrast.
I love how radiation is something you can just become immune to by exposure. Dangerous radiations are really the exact opposite of that from my layperson's understanding. There's an amount of exposure you have before it starts doing serious damage and it doesn't really even really matter how much time passes inbetween.
I have to say, Sasha, I love your voice acting. You make comics far more entertaining.
Could you please do a history of Starfire (with a little bit of blackfire as it pertains)??? Her backstory is super interesting but I lost track of her in the comics and don’t know her origins as of Rebirth. Love your channel btw nerds of color need representation 🙈
Jumping fishhooks! Great video.
So all the people flying when he shut the power off the rings...
The $1 power ring is just a loss leader. Wait until you see the price for the power lantern subscription.
You can really feel the effort she put into the VO on this one, bravo
Did you do videos on how Guy and John became Lanterns? One of the first Justice League books I ever bought had John's first story. It fits in with the holidays; Santa is part of the cover! (I almost feel bad putting it that way.)
She actually did a video on how Guy became GL. It's on this channel.
@@manis1551 Thanks! Now she needs to get to John.
YEY!! A new favorite voice. Liking the extra effort of making those clicking sounds haha
Cerebro-radiation? I knew it! Xavier and his damned mutants are behind this!
You know people would be walking away from the stand doing Emerald Twilight cover imitations.
Forgot another problem with silver age GL. His response faces are terrifying!
5:15 me trying to talk without drooling while brushing my teeth
I'm not sure if he was the first, but there was an earlier "Pie Face" in the UK's Beano comic from the 1950s. He just ate pies all the time and was one of Dennis the Menace's mates. It's "Fatty" who got renamed, but they kept drawing him fat…

Anybody else think the guy with the bills on the original cover looks like Jack Webb, Officer Friday from "Dragnet"?
Why wasn’t Hal’s friend Tom made a Green Lantern? They created all these new GL characters but forgot about Tom. Crazy.
The voice you do for the aliens sounds like they just came from the dentist and they had an extraction
Awesome video but I'll like it all I can imagine is people being unaware that their rings will only last for 24 hours so now you have all these flying people just falling to the Earth. Oh Hal!
Yes yes I would buy it for a dollar. And when the power went out I would try and get my dollar back.
Sasha!
This might be a silly question but - Why do you need subtitles for the wonderful Alien Groll voice
(Your character voices are heaps of Fun) when the words are already in the speech bubble?
Becoz they are Yellow?

Steve Holliday
P.S I missed the usual Kawaii Bye-Bye
*Lillie gets a Green Lantern ring and wear it on her toe* What? I can do it and if you like it put a ring on it. Lol
Editor's notes? What is this, LiveJournal circa 2007?
Was Hal careful to not sell rings to anyone wearing yellow? Cause, you know... necessary impurity in the Silver Age?
Total non sequitur... ever since GLC Annual #3 in 1987, my favorite member is Rot Lop Fan... who I guess isn't actually a member the Corps since he's not technically a Green Lantern?
The mohawk aliens should see a doctor about their swollen tongues - they sound a bit strange. The silver age has left us with so many unanswered questions.
What WERE you GARGLING when you did those accents? It's a good thing you had captions explaining what he said.
I don’t know why she used subtitles for this video you can read what’s written in the comic Sasha was reading from on this video anyway.
Nice 2Face Outfit Sally/Sasha 🤩😊🥃🥃🥃
your mohawked aliens voice reminds me of richard nixon. I can't remember if he really talked like that or that's just how he sounds as comedically portrayed in Futurama (I've been rewatching episodes recently...cos it's great). But yeah. Love your videos and presenting style. :)

You'll be happy to hear that Tom finally rejects the name "pieface"... 15 years after this story. *sigh*
1:05 "Look at the wad that guy's bringing over. "Umm.... Excuse me, Sir. One per customer." It doesn't actually say that. Some people could have bought ten for all I know: One for each finger. Twenty: Their toes too."
Twenty One for the men...... You know why.
8:15 "Other Planets? Fine. Just leave ours alone though. That's some other Lantern in some other sector's problem."
But now the Grolls will be "Over there" and "Over there" has to look out for itself.
The Groll sound really gross. Like they're eating a mouthful of Mike & Ike candy while speaking. 😜
You should cover the time Batman became the Starman of 1951. It includes Robin putting Batman in a Clockwork Orange brainwashing machine!
"Why are you giving us *some* details but not others?! I need them _all_ -I'm a busy-body"
That's a line I'll need to start using
I wish I had a magical money ring.
So when hals rings energy runs out they are all going to fall out of the sky and die!

Yes, I would buy a power ring with less restrictions for a dollar
I love the fact that the only thing Hal is good at is flying planes and being green lantern. He’s a failure at everything else. I hated in the 2000 when they tried to say Hal was cool.
Sasha's alien voice is top tier!
1:13 21, 5 on each hand and foot
I like the original better, but loved both. I loved your alien voice acting. Gotta love those clicks lol
How is he supposed to access the composite will of all of those people when he doesn't even know what will is?
If the people with rings "take to the skies", and he then drains their will, wouldn't they just plummet back down to the ground?
I, for one, welcome our new mohawked alien overlords.
Off topic, but if and when Injustice 3 comes out, could you react to the gameplay reveal trailers?
(Oh, and maybe reviews of the Injustice comics.)
Wait until the people who bought the rings for a buck learn that they can make c-notes with them!
1 dollar? Come on Hal. Surely advanced alien technology is worth more than that.
the 1st was definitely better, being true to the time in which it was written. the 2nd was goofy too, but was more contrived.
an odd complaint in such a genre, but there it is.
All the voices Sasha does are hilarious. That is all.
Oh I'm sure he kept the money, he had therapist to pay.
I liked during the ads simply because it is the og GL issue.
I mean after he killed the corps, he probably had a surplus of rings
I feel like whenever you offer to cover a comic we all want you to
I've been reading early Justice League and boy, the Green Lanterns powers were virtually unlimited. The rest of the League were there only for things that were yellow.
Here's a question that occurred to me: How many of those people were a thousand feet in the air when their rings ran out of power? "Oh, hey, I forgot to mention..."
"So he can drain their will." . . . Ummmm is anyone else getting evil dictator vibes or is it just me?
it was the 60's DC comics times every story I've read of the 60's i own are just strange and weird stories
Calling him pie is a bunch of Tomfoolery. They’re not clever, at least make Tom a pastry chef. Hot pie.
So......a lot of people fall from Sky when 24h charge rings vanish?
hahaha, adorei a voz de alienígena! - I love the alien voice! XD
Interesting hearing Sasha criticize various comic book issues.
You subtitled what you read and showed the comic print? Now I have questions.
Has Hal ever gotten arested and Tom is the bro that bailed him out of jail?
Finally, I know why they’re so many human green lanterns!
Not really a concern. The ring still only had a 24 hour charge.
That alien accent, tho...😶
The aliens called. They wanna sue for the cultural appropriation of their speech pattern...
Seriously though, that was amazing, especially the tongue clicking lol
