The 1960’s Filmation series, based on this era of comics, never really went full whack~a~doo, thanks to Concerned Mothers of America. But occasionally came close!
You are right about the friend zone. I am still surprised that DC Comics decided to marry Lois Lane and Superman. I know that everybody believes that Lois Lane is married to Clark kent and not to Superman.
@Will N I thank you for the information. I also remember that Clark Kent and Lois Lane were married on Earth 2 and they were working at Daily Star and not the Daily Planet.
Batman/Catwoman was married a long time before Catwoman was murdered and Batman also died. Bruce Wayne as Batman suppose to wrote a book about the Justice Society 'Of America that didn't put a good light on the group
I have a theory that Lori doesn't summon Aquaman, not because he's lame, but because there's mistrust over which Atlanteans consider themselves the "real" Atlanteans. Kind of like when the Byzantines would ask knights from the Holy Roman Empire for help, and it'd just get interpreted as an opportunity to pillage.
Isn't it a thing in Aquaman where different sea kingdoms have different types of fish-parts, and there's some "Genetic purity" thing where having more fish parts is frowned upon?
Yeah, you are right about the depiction of the fin on the mer-people in this issue, as being as if they have two legs inside the fin. They even draw them as having two knees - When a traditional mermaid would of course have the same number of knees as a fish : zero . 🤔🤷♂️🐟 🧜♀️
Having multiple contradictory Atlantises seems to have just been a thing in the Silver Age. Marvel also had an issue where Iron Man visited an Atlantis that had absolutely nothing to do with Namor.
Well, it's perfectly legit for merpeople to have multiple nations, rather than 70% of of the planet all just be one group. Especially so in DC, where you've got multiple different species of merpeople (some who are classic mermaids like Lori, and others who are basically super-strong humans with gills like Aquaman).
Lori Lemaris was actually in the very first Superman comic I ever read. I knew nothing of the character or of her past as a mermaid or telepath and I felt very uncomfortable with Superman near any woman that wasn't Lois. Suddenly, with the context of her past crazy behavior, I think I understand why.
Brett: you see clark, I invited lois to my yacht, far from the eyes of the law, so I can propose to her, and she wouldnt say no, of course she can say no, but she wouldnt, because of the implications
“I’m not on a merpeople kick!” Next episode: “Hey check out Strange Tales 97 where Aunt May and Uncle Ben have a mermaid niece three months before the first appearance of Spider-Man!”
I never read a Lois Lane comic book growing up in the early 70s because I considered them written for girls and didn't care for them. Having said that, the Lois Lane proposal/marriage videos that Sasha has done over the years are my favorites! I love the perspective not only of the crazy relationship that those two are depicted as having had but the take on the rest of the supporting cast! Thank you so much for a much-needed laugh at the end of the day!
Can I suggest a look into the “It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s Superman” musical? The plot is very within this timeframe of these comics and maybe equally ridiculous, especially if you watch the movie adaptation.
Every time I see these Lois Lane stories the only thing I can think is .......either they were drinking on the job a lot or lead based paint is worse than I realized.
So the best Superman could come up with for his pleasure abode is the Fortress of Happiness? Sure, invoke an image of defensiveness to couple with your wedding bliss. It's weird Clark, very weird. Grotto of Happiness, Kingdom of Peace and Love.... a Love Shack for a Rock Lobster even.
8:14 I feel that referring to their new home as the "Fortress of Happiness" was just so beyond what was needed. Superman really wanted to rub salt in her wound lol
I love the way superman broke the news to Lori that her Husband is dead! Though..I guess she knew alright thanks to the telepath powers..yeah..that sucks..like..there is no way to safely break bad news or keep a present a surpize..takes the romance out of proposals..I imagine merpeople just mind sharing romantic events in their life then not actually going through with them because..well..what's the point? (Random mermaid talking to another): "Oh yes..he thought a romantic proposal out by the coral reef, where he reveled a clam full of engaging pearls to me! It was conceptually breathtaking! As in I took steady, regular breaths as I reviewed the concept in his mind while he came up with it and gave my silent (because it's telapthy), approval." Clark's shouting at Lori what she already knows the second he shows up while also processing the news of her hisbands death strategy must have been the most unique proposal a mermaid has gotten in thousands of years!
9:50 that speech bubble is great comedy. He's like "not only I wasn't able to trick you but then I had to be a proper hero and save you again,you dumb bitch" 😂
Leave it to Lois to take the most blatant manipulation from everyone in her life to mean that she still has a chance with Superman Also, why does Ronal have underwear on his fish tail but Superman and Lori don't?
Fun Fact, Lori was also in Superman Year One (issue 2 I think) by Frank Miller and Clark marries her by doing some Hercules style trials. Only for him to straight up leave her for Lois the next issue.
My favorite Lori and Superman moment was when they first met in college. And it was written by Bill Finger. It showed what a good writer he was! He could write sentimental stories like this, as well as dark stories in the 1940's Batman Comics..
Imagine the richest man alive proposes to you by forcing you into a work trip and telling you that superman won't marry you. Like, I expected him to have named the island after her, or the boat. At least hire a musician
I just wanna say this before I watch the video: I was SOOOOO disappointed Smallville never had Lori. Clark dating a mermaid in college would have been much more interesting than him just hanging out at the Kent farm doing nothing.
Never stop making these videos. Casually comics rocks. When you’re old lady, you can even remake this video as if you never did it in the first place and we will still love it.
I’m with ya! I seem to remember Supergirl and Wonder Woman having Mer~Man stalkers. And,if I’m not mistaken, one of the thumbnail illustrations came from that time Superboy was turned into a Mer~Man in the 70’s. And then there was the Crisis deaths of Both Tula (Aquagirl) and Lori! Man, no comics Love for the Sea People!
I am surprised there was no reference to Aquaman since this is the same year as the debut of the JLA and the modern DC universe. Before it seems crossovers with other DC characters were limited to Superman and Batman. One head canon explanation (already suggested) is there were tensions between Tritonis (Lori's city) and Posideonis (Aquaman's city). This was discussed in Peter David's Atlantis seried. I like you Star Trek references. Please consider Casually Trek.
Something else to consider with this ridiculousness: how the merfolk are dressed. As in, there's zero difference between how they'd be dressing if they were contemporary American humans or, in that one guy's case, from an arbitrary "future" society. Comics of this era are SO bound to formula on everyday crap that they can't even TRY to have different clothing - or lack thereof that most consider mers to have.
That crying Lois VO is hilarious 😂. So, are we just going to ignore Sasha advertising for Pepsi? Lol. You getting that Pepsi cheddar Sasha? Funny thing is I work for Pepsi. Sasha, if you ever want some free nearly expired Pepsi products give me a call. Lol. How great would it be if everytime a husband came home he announced "(wife) come to me!"
That Lois whale face came on screen the worst time. My mouth full of burrito, I choked laughed and then almost got sick everywhere from laughing so hard. 🤣🤣🤣
Every time I think that Silver Age Lois and Clark's relationship couldn't get any more messed up and toxic, you dig up another nugget of 'What the actual fork?!' Thanks for getting your hands dirty so we don't have to, Sasha.
🤔 I wonder if Silver Age Bruce would get rid of The contents in His Lois Shrine Room if Clark told Him this tale ? LOL…Hope we will be getting the Mermaid Lois being Hit on By Aquaman video…Keep Up The Outstanding Work Sasha 🖖🏾
I need a dc show where every hero is normal but Superman and Lois have their silver age dysfunctional relationship
Batman: Even Joker and Harley Quinn's relationship looks normal.
The 1960’s Filmation series, based on this era of comics, never really went full whack~a~doo, thanks to Concerned Mothers of America.
But occasionally came close!
They have one: Lois and Clark :)
@@bobmathis-friedman6742 Good call!
That would be da bomb! Oh wait! You just described the CW Superman (and Lois)!
Lois got sent to the only place worse than the phantom zone, the friend zone.
You are right about the friend zone. I am still surprised that DC Comics decided to marry Lois Lane and Superman. I know that everybody believes that Lois Lane is married to Clark kent and not to Superman.
@Will N I thank you for the information. I also remember that Clark Kent and Lois Lane were married on Earth 2 and they were working at Daily Star and not the Daily Planet.
@Will N I believe that Lana Lang married someone else. It is ironic that Batman and Catwoman retire from crimefighting and marry a

“YOU LOVED RONAL BUT HE IS NO LONGER ALIVE”
Smooth, Superman. Smooth.
Damn, Superman stole my pickup line.

Kind of like when the Byzantines would ask knights from the Holy Roman Empire for help, and it'd just get interpreted as an opportunity to pillage.
Oh yeah she's a Mermaid so she'd be from Tritonis?
Isn't it a thing in Aquaman where different sea kingdoms have different types of fish-parts, and there's some "Genetic purity" thing where having more fish parts is frowned upon?
Also he could probably control her since he can control fish.
@@icecreamhero2375 o yeah I totally forgot. He does control fish. Good point
Actually It's far more likely that Lori would know that Aquaman would not put up with these insane mind games 😆
Ronal- "Please protect Atlantis Superman"
Aquaman- "Am I a joke to you?"
"Loving Lois Lane is a gamble and the house always wins." 🤣🤣🤣
Superman turning into a mermaid for Lori is the 1960's version of Pickle Rick.
Funniest shit we've ever seen!
I wonder how much of his rejection of Lois comes from knowing she'd reject Clark...
It's a good question lol
Lois: (why won't Superman proposes to me?) C'mon, Carl, keep up the pace!
Clark: It's, Clark, actually.
Lois: Who?
Oh! Good question.
Superman: I cannot marry you, Lois. And never will.
Lois: So you're saying there's a chance!
Ahh, the loves of Superman's life: Lori lemaris, Lois lane, Lana Lang, Lex Luther, Lruce Layne, Liana Lrince,
This ends up becoming one of the most loving, supportive, healthy marriages in comics history. Figure that one out.
"Here's a whale with Lois Lane's face on it...propose to her!" That sounds like something out of Reeves and Mortimer, mental.
See it's not a fever dream, Superman did became a merman!
It was not:
A dream,
A hoax,
nor
An imaginary story???
This is Silver Age canon?!! OMG!
I’m a little disappointed in his story that Jimmy Olsen didn’t become Barnacle Boy. I mean it is the silver age, it could totally happen lol
I'm NOT a sick man, honest. But sobbing Lois Lane made me lol.
Great stuff.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

They even draw them as having two knees - When a traditional mermaid would of course have the same number of knees as a fish : zero . 🤔🤷♂️🐟 🧜♀️
i guess it does kind of explain how Mer-Boy from the wonder woman comics can stand up on his tail and hop around on land
@@dracodracarys2339 Hee 😄✌️
I love Lori’s orange blouse! So nicely tailored. So functional under the sea. Thank you, comics code.
Lori: "You must be a merman if you think we fuckin'"
Superman: *slowly transforms*
"Now I lay some eggs over there and you fertilize them... What? Isn't that how humans do it?"
Brett: I own five banks and ten steel mill I'm a billionaire
Bruce:amateur
Brett:what?
Bruce: I SAID AMATEUR
I just love Sasha's voices. Her kids must have a fabulous time listening to her read fairy tales!
Total props for doing this video with a more-or-less straight face.

"A whale with the face of Lois Lane!"
"Superman's not going crazy! It was me!"
And that's hos Lois got her lifetime ban from SeaWorld.
“I’m not on a merpeople kick!”
Next episode: “Hey check out Strange Tales 97 where Aunt May and Uncle Ben have a mermaid niece three months before the first appearance of Spider-Man!”
"I don't trust crew-cut Jimmy (Olsen)!" ... wise words ... 👍

Up next : Super Merman & Bat Merman in Worlds Finnest!
Don’t worry Lois! Werewolf Jimmy is still available!
You can’t lie, it’s just a bit super fishy.
Yep, his red Cape is really just a big red FLAG!
Like I said elsewhere, by this point if Lois doesn't see where this is going, then that's on her!
You meant, "a Big Red Flag" didn't you?🤔😁
Roal must have one hell of a hall pass.
But as a society completely made of telepathic fish people, I bet Atlantis was Krakoa before there was Krakoa.
Ronal, "Yes, dear." 😂😂😂 Another casually hilarious delivery.
Can I suggest a look into the “It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s Superman” musical? The plot is very within this timeframe of these comics and maybe equally ridiculous, especially if you watch the movie adaptation.

I think the "Grotto of Happiness" is in the Playboy mansion.
@@freddogrosso9835 Shh...
"..loving Lois Lane is a gamble; and the house always wins." 10/10. Sasha never disappoints!
"Superman would never hurt anyone!"
Zach Snyder enters the chat...
Post - Crisis, Ronal (still married to Lori), goes evil and is eventually turned to stone. Good times!!!
Now I'm imagining whole islands flooded by Brett's tears..that became inhabited by mermaids!
8:14 I feel that referring to their new home as the "Fortress of Happiness" was just so beyond what was needed. Superman really wanted to rub salt in her wound lol

Maybe Lois has a rule of "Millionaires before Mermen"?
Wow. That is one of the cruellest things every done to Lois in the Silver Age.
"Jimmy always knows how to stalk Superman! 😂🤣"
He learned everything from Lois.
Silver Age Superman and Batman could play some of cruelest, twisted pranks for no good reason
Lois Lane, the eternal optimist....lol
9:50 that speech bubble is great comedy. He's like "not only I wasn't able to trick you but then I had to be a proper hero and save you again,you dumb bitch" 😂
I'm here for the voice acting! AND the God Tier editing!!
Absolutely!
Leave it to Lois to take the most blatant manipulation from everyone in her life to mean that she still has a chance with Superman
Also, why does Ronal have underwear on his fish tail but Superman and Lori don't?
At this point, I don't think there is something left in the DC Universe that could convince Lois Lane to give up Superman.
He is a prude
If Superman want Lois to leave him alone hasn’t he heard of a restraining order.
Fun Fact, Lori was also in Superman Year One (issue 2 I think) by Frank Miller and Clark marries her by doing some Hercules style trials. Only for him to straight up leave her for Lois the next issue.
And Superman was a Navy SEAL at the time, LOL.
I am enjoying this miniseries and look forward eagerly to learning more about Ethel Merman.
Great look, the hair, the shirt and the nails. It really pops!

Where was Mr. Batmerman steal your girl? Mermaids ..Rich dudes..Bruce always wins😎😎😎
Next Mermaid video: Linda Brown, Peter Parker's mermaid "cousin" .
Superman confirmed fishie? scalie? …..pesci?
Cannot remember the last time I laughed so hard!! 😂😂😂😂
Atlantis is like Springfield, there's lots of them around.
These Superman-Lois bizarre romance stories are so much more entertaining than anything going on with Superman for years now Lol
For a dying man, Ronal had a LOT to say…
Your smarmy Brett voice has me laughing out loud at work.
I don't know that Lori's fish people are from the same Atlantis as Aquaman.
9:50 "...then I had to resque you from that truck!" I love that line read; Superman saying this, annoyed, really tickles me.
The Silver Age Superman writers would be a hit on Wattpad!😂😂🤣🤣
Superman loses his girlfriend to the doctor that saves her life.
Why isn't that a movie or tv storyline yet?
This episode was amazing. Your Silver Age Lois Lane content is a near-weekly highlight for me.
I was going to comment something, but that whale with Lois' face reset my brain.
The creepy factor was really dialed up to 10 on this one. And this was considered healthy for kids?!?!
The way you spin the silver age of my youth… hilarious.
The randomness of silver age comics is camptastic!
We need a mermaid paly list at this point lol
