7:55 I love how this implies it would be possible to convince the Flash under normal circumstances to live in a giant glass bottle, call his enemy “master”, and pretend to be a genie. God, now I have this picture of flash get knocked out, waking up in a giant glass bottle and just going “You know what screw it, I have an afternoon to kill and I just want to see where he goes with this”. Like, he’s not even mind controlled anymore, he just admires the creativity.
I remember there was a Silver Age Flash story where Mirror Master (Sam Scudder) got trapped in the mirror world inhabited solely by telepathic women where he was worshipped by them and they gave him everything he wanted. Scudder hated it so much because he couldn't steal anything as the women would just read his mind and give him the stuff without him having to steal it, and he ends up getting Flash to come to the mirror world to save him and bring him back to the real world so he can commit robberies once again, or something. That story ends with Mirror Master turning Flash into a mirror and Flash vibrating so fast that he literally melts into goop and then reforms himself back into his normal state. The Silver Age was weird, man.
I always loved the idea the Rogues really don't want to kill the Flash as he makes their lives more exciting while also giving them a purpose and that they view him as a "friend" which is why Mirror Master had no desire to kill Barry in this story.
Back in the Silver Age they were always conscious that new readers were constantly entering the market. Which is why they had note telling you to read Zatanna's incantations backward every single time she showed up.
I always thought Barry just orders more rings from the costume in a ring factory that Ray Palmer owned. But DC decided they needed a stupid explanation. 🙄dc.fandom.com/wiki/Flash%27s_Costume_Ring
So do I! Can you imagine Barry just getting the costume back into the ring and another villain pops up and then Barry has to take it out all over again? Poor Barry! 🤔🤣
The only thing that would have been pettier was if Mirror Master invited the other Rogues as dinner guests and made Barry cook and serve! Capt. Cold wants Baked Alaska from Alaska, Heat Wave wants Creme Bruele from Paris, TX (just to be a jerk), The Top wants strawberry shortcake from France BUT a cherry on TOP from Tokyo, etc. The Rogues always eat dessert first, they're rogues.
As long as we are on the subject of The Flash being bros with their villains... I think my favorite scene in the DCAU is when Wally West enters a villain bar with Bruce Wayne and instead of intimidating the villain he just talks to him about taking his meds and about if he turns himself in they'll play darts later. good stuff.
dear lord.. i'm gonna come clean.. i was really starting to hate fandom and want to just drop out of geek culture but you remind me how fun it can be when you don't take it all so seriously. thank you! that is quite the gift!
I go full botanical nerd sometimes. I ..can't help...myself. Dates aren't fruit they are technically flowers! There. Got it off my chest. :) just another day at the salt mines
They probably gather around at a bar on Friday's to discuss who among them is the pettiest when it comes to dealing with The Flash. (Referencing the Batman: The Animated Series Season 1 Episode 35 "Almost Got 'Im")
I've gone "full nerd" a few times like when I was debating with someone who said Superman is boring because he doesn't experience any loss. Now all I have to do is link them to your Lois getting married playlist
Awesome video as always but I must say I fond part about discussion on elongated man and Sue about the wedding and the marriage technicality to be a bit of a "stretch"
Ah, yes, Ralph and Sue’s “off-panel” wedding that led to their “back of comic” honeymoon that lasted for what 15-20 years? They were doing “Thin Man/Hart to Hart”-style mystery solving for a long time.
I love how Mirror Master takes the time to be up front about the smoke not being necessary and totally about the presentation. Full nerd? Usually when Discussing Star Trek Movies where they just flat out ignore that they have perfectly good shuttles that have transporters that work independently of the inconveniently offline transporters on the Enterprise. Looking straight at you, Star Trek Nemesis! Also The Search for Spock for not beaming the Klingons off of the Bird of Prey to wherever. Also the fact that the winning maneuver in "Wolf In The Fold", (ie Beam them into space, maximum dispersion) is not a standard emergency protocol on all Starfleet vessels. Call it the Redjac protocol.
_After a "Well ackchually" speech gone wrong Sasha was transformed into a villain with the terrifying power of fabulous wigs!_ Yeah, I could see the silver age shipping that.
Can I just say, that wig is fantastic. It's so beautiful. This is why I love The Flash. He's at his best when he's allowed to just be a good guy. My favorite episode of Justice League is when his museum gets destroyed and instead of being upset about it, he's just all "Yeah, but we saved the day, so it's all good."
Hey Sasha, great video. I love the silver age goofiness. For a good example of a supervillain going off-brand and doing mundane, non-themed crimes, I recommend an old Batman story - I think it was called "The Joker's Millions" - where an old gangster dies and leaves the Joker millions of dollars. Surprise! 90 percent of the loot is counterfeit! Then the Joker gets a huge bill from the IRS, and rather than admit he had been the butt of the joke, he starts pulling anonymous mundane heists to raise the money. (Silver Age Joker ain't no fool. Fight Batman? ok. Fight the IRS? NO THANKS!)
Hypnosis was neck-and-neck with amnesia in the 60s and 70s as the most popular plot device across all forms of storytelling. Brainwashing being a distant third. Each of these was so popular that nothing else in the story needed to make any sense once these were invoked.
This story is hilarious and I am here for it. Funnily enough I read that comic as a kid. Also, I will never forgive Identity Crisis, Ralph and Sue deserve better.
6:29 the mirror master shoots the mirror duplicate in the chest, but it look that the real Flash falls as if he was shoot in the back - yes, I know, it's nitpicking... but..
Sasha might not judge "just a game you guys play" but if Iris was getting bent out if shape over Barry chatting up a women, she might be even less pleased to find Barry playing "master and servant" with the Mirror Master. 😅
Such a waste of opportunity. If I were Mirror Master, I would’ve asked Flash to grant me thee power of the speedforce so I would never get apprehended for stealing mirrors again!
I think it's less that Barry will do the whims of his villains, but he does casually dash off for Arabian figs and fresh mountain snow. But stealing something next door? That's too far!
When a person talks about comic history, they are always gonna learn new stuff. Your attitude about that is perfect and the Bullet fam reference was perfect for it. You are the best comic history channel on UA-cam.
A device that can mind control people into doing anything...except for things they wouldn't normally do, is probably the lamest type of mind control I've ever seen in media.
Most full on nerd moment? Early 2000's at the height of my New Teen Titans fandom (or at least hoping to have it revived), I joined a NTT email list (yes, one of those!) and got so far as to meet Phil Jiminez (yet to have done his amazing work on Wonder Woman) and had a lovely meal with him and two other NTT fans. The three of us are presented in a panel as panicked citizens in New Titans/JLA #2!
Mmm! I normally try to limit my salt intake, but some salty treats are too good to pass up! Fun salt fact: One of Ghandi's first arrests was for picking up salt (challenging the British salt tax). I bet you didn't realize you had so much in common with him! :D
Call me sophomoric, but I always chortle when you say, “...and while you’re down there...”. Anyway, another very entertaining listen! Thank you, Sasha.
Now I have a mental image of flash dropping FMV for the figs at the orchard owner's house and paying the tourism fees at some Nepalese bureaucratic office. (Luckily, this is Silver Age, so it doesn't open the question of why Flash doesn't get a shovel and a wheelbarrow and take care of all the failed climbers at the higher altitudes.) EDIT: Clarification: Fair Market Value, not Full Motion Video.
Long time viewer, first time commenter, but I gotta say, I freaking love your hair in this one. Not to say it isn't always nice, but this week is total chef's kiss, and I don't think I've ever seen hair colored that way.
Things that can be done with all that salt: - Make the world's most perfect popcorn and French fries - A second dead sea - A lot of salt taffy - Enough jerky to last until 2022 - A new surface for ghost Luke to fight.
@@GabePuratekuta Riddler decided one day to stop with the riddles and just do crime, as he would probably succeed, however he subconsciously sleepwalked his way into delivering subtle riddles in the form of walking around Gotham in wacky and silly themed outfits and costumes.
When you mentioned how they are borderline friends sometimes all I can think of is that one Justice League episode where Wally West sits at the bar talks to his criminal not even 5 minutes gets the info and promises to visit him to play darts but not before reminding him to turn himself in after his beer as he walks out the door
Thanks Sasha, this was hilarious how petty MM is! Also, I love your in-character voices: Flash talks absurdly fast, Spidey has a geeky voice ... love it! Keep uo the great work!!
I always found it weird that DC came up with the soda induced stretchy 'Elastic Lad' identity for Jimmy Olsen in 1959, then came up with a brand new superhero with the exact same power set and origin story the very next year.
Why are all Flash villains so incredibly weird and specific? I guess that when the Supervillain masket is so oversaturated you need to find ways to stand out.
If I as my villian alter ego, The Golden Lion, captured my nemesis. My only wish is to be as petty to them as humanly possible. I can do my own crimes, but who is going to get me takoyaki made fresh from my favorite restaurant in Tokyo?
Lol!!! You started the video complaining about how your sweatshirt label fits. :) Hilarious!!! Your presentation of the marriage issue was extremely informative. Your insight on mirror master was also extremely informative. Hopefully people will realize that the Flash TV show that runs now with our ex-Glee actor is not the Flash... I still need to read from the issue where his defense attorney had her house destroyed. I would really like more details about his life in the future where he was sentenced for manslaughter of Reverse Flash. :)
I think this may have only been the Flash's 14th issue, so that possibly could be an explanation for the exhaustive editor's notes, except I think they still had explanations for the Flash's costume ring in Flash 209, "Flahing Wheels."
I'm reading a story in which Mantis marries a TREE (it's not Groot, btw) and I immediately thought about Casually Comics! Have you done a video on this yet? I couldn't find it. This is in Giant-Size Avengers #4, the conclusion of the Celestial Madonna Saga. The joke is I searched for a video on this and found lots of videos of women that ACTUALLY married trees. Oh, the humanity...
Any chance you could do a video on Mercy Graves? I always thought she was a badass in the animated series and comics. I hate that DC films have a tendency of writing her off as a basic disposable secretary rather than portray her as the true badass she is.
Love the salt .Love the hair. Just an fyi (you probably already know)- just as Skeet can mean a multitude of things (like the actor Skeet Ulrich to us Silver Agers) Hustler does as well.
I go full nerd a-lot. By age four my grandkids could name the entire JLA and Avengers original teams, plus most of their secret ID's. And if you ask them who the Hulk is they'll tell you Bruce (not David) Banner, but (Superman's Pal) Jimmy Olsen did it first, a year before Marvel introduced Banner, and he was purple. (And yes the drawing was very similar.) As always thank you so very much for the video.

Sounds wild. 😄
I love the idea that Barry is such a chill guy that if his villains asked him to pick up some snacks mid crime he would, just to be nice.
I always loved the idea the Rogues really don't want to kill the Flash as he makes their lives more exciting while also giving them a purpose and that they view him as a "friend" which is why Mirror Master had no desire to kill Barry in this story.
I really like that scene in JLA where he just go have a chat with a villain and convince him to turn himself in.
“Dude, as soon as you finish your drink, turn yourself in.”
“Got me again, Flash!”
Back in the Silver Age they were always conscious that new readers were constantly entering the market. Which is why they had note telling you to read Zatanna's incantations backward every single time she showed up.
I want to see how FLASH puts his costume back into his ring.
I always thought Barry just orders more rings from the costume in a ring factory that Ray Palmer owned. But DC decided they needed a stupid explanation. 🙄dc.fandom.com/wiki/Flash%27s_Costume_Ring
So do I! Can you imagine Barry just getting the costume back into the ring and another villain pops up and then Barry has to take it out all over again? Poor Barry! 🤔🤣
When he removes his costume he creates a vacuum that causes it to shrink and then he quickly pops it the ring. Silver age science.
My recollection was that the ring emitted a gas that would shrink the costume before sucking it back into its compartment.
@@Raja1938 My memory exactly!
"I'll use the snow to keep the figs fresh!" Brilliant. The most evil plan ever.

I'm curious, how did you think it worked?

I would have liked to have seen that happen in this issue.
😂
The Trickster would want a steak.
@@rackstraw . . . because everyone else is getting dessert first, I get it!
I know I read too many fanfiction when the whole "villains enslaving hero" concept make my mind go to some...unsavory places. 🤫

Mirror Master making Flash his personal genie, he's such a Flash Rogue, there's no questioning it.
yeah
I love how they explain the science behind running up walls: 'He's really fast so he can do it'
Editor's note: "The guy's fast."
Editor's note (again): "The guy's fast."
Editor's note (again)(again): "The guy's...….."
Mirror Master thinks he has Flash hypnotized against his will
Flash: "Jokes on you, I'm into that sh!t!"
They used to explain Flash’s power in every single issue until the late 1970s. I think they wanted to make it easier for new readers
The salt has flavoured my eggs and melted the snow from my driveway. This video is great keep it up!
But oh! the corrosion. 😓
The salt is real to the point of it causing health issues.
My blood pressure went up after the vid.
As a Brit there's so much salt in the video I feel like I've been to the fish shop.
Honestly, I would expect a villain as dramatic and self-obsessed as the name Mirror Master suggests to have such extravagant and ludicrous schemes.
Saltiest video 'at time of recording'
We know whst the internet is like, this shall happen again😂🤣😂
What's that on that newspaper I see?! "Flash best man" That's SUPERMAN'S JOB!
Reverse Flash probably thinking "I'm the king of pettiness around here Mirror Master. Stop ripping me off."

You are technically correct the best kind of correct.

Please, make it official and everytime you read a Flash bubble, you have to read it at that exact speed. I don't know why I laughed so hard at that.
That's her normal "flash voice"
NEVER sacrifice theme for material gain: the Old Whims do not tolerate such ambivalence
That would be breaking the Rogues' Code of Conduct. It would be like Captain Boomerang borrowing gags from the Trickster.
Why do I feel like "... in panel" is going to be a thing. And that's ok.
Psycho Kitty because it's going to be lol

Was there a story where Jimmy Olsen also becomes a Genie? Different from his ongoing wish issues?
Yeah in Jimmy Olsen 42
Saw this video pop up and instantly thought two things: "Her hair game is ON FRICKIN' POINT." and "Pass the salt."

Let's be honest: Sasha takes her humble pie with a heaping helping of cheesecake.
If there's one thing I'll never be over, it's the kinky subtext of older comics.
