Ah, the Silver Age, when Superman was the evil version of Ultraman instead of the other way around. "You spent days in disguise as Satan convincing Lois she'd sold her soul to you and was damned for eternity, and you even recruited the Kandorians to help out? How am I suppose dto be the bad one, Kal? Even Owlman would think that was sociopathic and he wants to destroy all of reality."
@@Xehanort10 No. Jokes aside they still devote their lives to helping people. 1/2 of the reason Superman doesn't marry even though he wants to. Cause he gives so much of himself.
I would just like to point out, that being a Park Ranger actually takes a lot of training and specific scientific acumen. They typically are more one part field researcher, one part baby sitter, one part emergency responder with a little cross country hiking athlete thrown in. They do, a lot, have typically long hours and the ones I've worked with have been very dedicated to protecting nature and people. They're not compensated enough either.
If so many of my potential suitors ended up dying in my arms so quickly, I would need serious professional help because I'd be blaming myself and staying away from everybody..
It's getting to a point where you should start a spreadsheet of Lois's romantic partners. We could track trends like "Lying/Honest", "Human/Alien", "Is Superman", "Superdickery", etc
"Hampered by hero-worshippers" I like that "I'd be a proper focused hero". This is basically the alien equivalent of someone who phones in Talksport to say how they could coach Manchester United better than the current boss.
For me, this story falls more into the slightly tragic, not everything has to have a happy ending-type story, because writers like to hit All the Feels! I did like this guy more than most, no trophy room and making points about Superman! I'll vote for more Lana Lang!
About that comment where Lois says that she thought the Kryptonite necklace was jade, I'm pretty sure she didn't forget they were kryptonite. The way I was reading it, it seemed more like that she forgot she was wearing it and tried to cover up where she got it by saying she thought it was jade, like she got it from the store or something.
I want aaalll of the crazy. But I suppose Superman marrying other people first? Either way, another great video showing just how sad this Lois' life really was... sigh
I'd totally watch videos on different silver-age shenanigans, even those that aren't explicitly about Lois Lane's love life. I'd probably be more interested in those stories than the modern, current storylines, since they're short, simple, and don't require keeping track of the plot. They're funny one-offs... and who doesn't love those? Also I love the hair - it's so pretty!
This Amerindian portrayal seemed fine, especially for the times, until they gave a SW Nation a magical totem pole... For context, this is about as geographically divergent as a Danish superhero drawing his power from an Egyptian obelisk. Definitely see what she meant by "grab-bag of tropes." Regardless - love the plot twist & the artist's dedication to drawing the ring.
@@Naharu. it's not the magic that's the issue, it's that a totem pole was in New Mexico... Totem poles are part of the indigenous cultures in the Pacific NW - totally different from any traditions you'd see in the SW
I hadn't realised how much I was missing this series, thank you for reminding me. The comic itself never appealed to mart much and I can't really see me reading it even now but I really do enjoy your take on it. Entertaining and witty, as always.
Oh god, I was waiting for that one since so long. As soon as i saw the thumb image, I squeeled. OH YES YES YES YES YES! One of my favorite story of Superman's Girl friend Lois lane! The pure, unaltered, undiluted, fascinating, BEAUTIFUL madness. Plus, the "there's a whole world of torments for Lana Lang." i read the original Superboy series. Please, I'm almost CRYING I want it so much!!!!
I’ve always had odd feelings about the idea that a Shapeshifter taking a more handsome/beautiful appearance is somehow lying. Like… it kind of feels like the same logic as saying someone wearing make up or getting cosmetic surgery is somehow lying about their appearance. Obviously it depends on the subtext of that particular story, since sometimes Shapeshifting is played far more as a metaphor for deception, but just in the literal sense it feels weird. Also not to say strong bear wasn’t lying in other ways, because he very obviously was.
What a funny and oof Lois Lane comic. *Also, as a Native person, Native stereotypes can either be hilariously interesting or hilariously dumb to me.* (Ex. Man-Of-Bats or Prez's Eagle Free.)
You know, I was actually liking Strong Bear when he was talking about using his powers to help the reservation instead of seeking glory as a super hero. I want more heroes who just work service, helping people and not villains. Of course... The the ring dropped
The silver age trope I always hear about and would like to see covered is Lana Lang messing around with magic. It's been referenced and brought back several times recently and I'd like to know where it comes from.
The fact that that she saw this as somehow a better creepy stalker than average tells me she's getting really desensitized to the horrors of Lois Lane.
So was that Native American tribe Ok with having a space mutant pose as one of them and then go on his shapeshifting escapades to date with Lois? Weren't they concerned?
I'm still waiting for the "Women who want to marry Jimmy Olsen" playlist. Just look to "Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen" issue number 100 to get inspiration, Sasha. 😃👍
I love these weird Lois Lane romances. They’re what got me into your channel because of how good these videos are. I’d love to see you tackle Storm and Wolverine getting married and how weird that story is.
Imagine if Lois had not dropped the ring and actually married the American Indian Super Person and spent years married to him and having his children before learning that he is a hideously deformed Mutant from space who had tricked her.
I was expecting Strong Bear to reveal he was actually Superman. I guess the passing resemblance is because he knows Lois is attracted to Superman (from all that tele-stalking) so he modelled himself on the Man of Steel?
Almost all Silver Age stories that concern romance or pairing in any way, shape or form could be considered problematic. This has to do with the fact that the stories were meant for pre-teen boys and this is the way adults perceived their thinking process. BTW, LOVE THE WIG!!!
3:06 I had to look twice at this one. Superman flies through space, yes. He doesn't breathe in space, fine. Clark Kent, on the other hand, he has human needs.... does anyone care about the Daily Planet's cub reporter? Even weirder is that the whole thing feels like Superman was asking Perry White if Clark could spend the night.... because shouldn't it be Clark asking... Perry... How has no one figured out Clark is Superman!!!?
A major metropolitan newspaper. Investigative reporters. Prize-winning journalists on staff. And yet, SUPERMAN hides in their midst, in plain sight. Now THAT'S Suspension of Disbelief.
I hope Sasha looks at SGLL #20, where Lois marries Superman and adopts Supergirl...but then gets jealous of her husband and adopted daughter's close relationship! And I think THIS is my favorite wig, yet...!
Have you ever seen the story when a teen Lana in Smallville sees into the future (some kind of TV viewer), sees Lois with Superman and so tries to get Lois to not become a reporter?
Lana Lang being tormented, please. This was a great video and I finished this just wee bit sad for them both. Like the alien lost his planet to nukes and my brain just couldn't move past that. I don't know why that bummed me out so much tho.
I wouldn’t be surprised if silver age Lois lane tried to marry an inanimate object. I can see the tagline now “Can Lois lane be wooed by… A COFFE MUG WITH SUPERMANS FACE ON IT? Why not?”
Hey 1964 Was A Great Year , I Was Born !!! Anyway Superman’s Girlfriend Lois Lane , The Gift that keeps on Giving…🤔 Is there a Multi Verse Lois Lane Streaming Network 🤨…This overall story was kind of Bleh… I think the Tormenting of Lana …Keep Up The Outstanding Work Sasha 🖖🏾
Back in the 70s I decided to collect the Lois Lanes that had her marrying someone, by the time it was done I realized I might as well complete the run because I already had most of them. 😂
Classic interpretation of the ol' tale of "I write to my crush while using a Ryan Gosling photo as my Tinder profile, but she found out it was me so I just died instead"
One thing I've noticed about Superman and his 'space missions'. There is an entire Green Lantern Corps for Space Missions - but I don't think I've ever seen any Earth GL go on a mission like Superman does. So yeah I agree Superman just says that to have a free day at home - calling in sick today!!
Sasha, you should look at AstroCity Metrobook #2, there is an issue there "Shining Armor" about a woman reporter determined to find out the secret identity of a superman like cosmic hero - much to her chagrin. It nicely contrasts with all of the Lois Lane stories.
As a child of the mid eighties, I didn't get into comics until the 90's. When I went to art school for college, I learned about Roy Lichtenstein's artwork. He was famous for elevating comic book artwork to high museum worthy art. I never really understand why comic book artwork was considered so low brow, because I was used to works by Chris Bachalo, which i thought was beautiful. These silver age Lois Lane books really drive it in. They did her so dirty. The artwork is still beautiful, but the writing 😅
“And yet nobody in the concert world knows of his existence” Barry: *You wanna run that by me again?* (Not the same character as Fiddler, I know. Just wanted to find opportunity to do it)

So I'm curious is lois lane gonna marry some random stuff now like a talking object or a robot? Just wonder 🤔
Great comics 💭 sasha video 👍
“I’m off to space for a mission” is Superman’s equivalent of “I’m going out for milk”
Superman - I'm off to space.
Also Superman - puts on Robin's shorts and Spock makeup. "Aquaman is right, this is a sweet gig."
"She worships the ground he flies over." Goddamn, that line goes hard, and it's Lois Lane in a nutshell.
Lois: How kind he is, just like Superman.
Ummm... have you met Silver Age Superman?
Ah, the Silver Age, when Superman was the evil version of Ultraman instead of the other way around.
"You spent days in disguise as Satan convincing Lois she'd sold her soul to you and was damned for eternity, and you even recruited the Kandorians to help out? How am I suppose dto be the bad one, Kal? Even Owlman would think that was sociopathic and he wants to destroy all of reality."
@@richmcgee434 Most Golden and Silver Age DC heroes were dicks or full on villains before their characters were fleshed out later.
I think *most* stories he's legitimately nice... for a chauvinistic 1960s superhero anyway. But those are usually the boring stories.
@@Xehanort10 No. Jokes aside they still devote their lives to helping people.
1/2 of the reason Superman doesn't marry even though he wants to. Cause he gives so much of himself.
Somewhere in the old multiverse, Lois is happily married and it sure isn't to Superman
Multiverse of Lois’s that actually fallow through with the marriages she’s had.
@@C0ldIronThere should be a story where Lois's super boyfriends team up to defeat an evil version of Superman or sth
I would just like to point out, that being a Park Ranger actually takes a lot of training and specific scientific acumen. They typically are more one part field researcher, one part baby sitter, one part emergency responder with a little cross country hiking athlete thrown in.
They do, a lot, have typically long hours and the ones I've worked with have been very dedicated to protecting nature and people. They're not compensated enough either.
If that scientist really knew Lois’ reputation, he’d stay far far away from her.
If so many of my potential suitors ended up dying in my arms so quickly, I would need serious professional help because I'd be blaming myself and staying away from everybody..
It's getting to a point where you should start a spreadsheet of Lois's romantic partners. We could track trends like "Lying/Honest", "Human/Alien", "Is Superman", "Superdickery", etc
Keep this series going til Lois marries Clay Face
Which one?
All of them
@@CasuallyComics all at ounce or one by one?
@@CasuallyComics is it like the Clayface in Earth One-Where it’s Preston Payne AND Matt Hagan AND Basil Karlo?
@@CasuallyComics>>> Couldn't they all just combine into one big...well, you know. 😊
Ah yes, a classic "Lois Lane gets married" story
I really want to see a crossover with crazy girlfriend Lois meeting modern day Lois. If Kal-El and Kal-L can do it, so can they.
"Hampered by hero-worshippers" I like that "I'd be a proper focused hero". This is basically the alien equivalent of someone who phones in Talksport to say how they could coach Manchester United better than the current boss.
So a basically everyone when Olie was at the wheel
Meanwhile he spent most of his time with a convoluted plot to get a girlfriend
But can you couch better?
For me, this story falls more into the slightly tragic, not everything has to have a happy ending-type story, because writers like to hit All the Feels! I did like this guy more than most, no trophy room and making points about Superman! I'll vote for more Lana Lang!
I've been missing the Lois Lane gets married videos so it was nice of Sasha to bring it back for us to watch and judge Lois Lane's shenanigans.
I like how you know how we will act, without any denial.
The Daily Planet letting their reporters write about whatever they want
Jealousy guards his identity, yeah god forbid he wants some privacy
About that comment where Lois says that she thought the Kryptonite necklace was jade, I'm pretty sure she didn't forget they were kryptonite. The way I was reading it, it seemed more like that she forgot she was wearing it and tried to cover up where she got it by saying she thought it was jade, like she got it from the store or something.
Hearing about Lana getting tormented sound like a weird breather between either Lois or Clark getting married
It's very true that I'll never look Lois the same way after seeing this playlist.
I want aaalll of the crazy. But I suppose Superman marrying other people first? Either way, another great video showing just how sad this Lois' life really was... sigh
It's great to look at old Superman comics that shows some unique storylines. Thanks Casually Comics and love your hair color.
I forget what Superman annual it is, but there is an annual from the Armageddon 2001 crossover were Lois dies and Superman marries Maxima
Adventures of Superman Annual 3
I'd totally watch videos on different silver-age shenanigans, even those that aren't explicitly about Lois Lane's love life. I'd probably be more interested in those stories than the modern, current storylines, since they're short, simple, and don't require keeping track of the plot. They're funny one-offs... and who doesn't love those?
Also I love the hair - it's so pretty!
More "Lana Lang gets tormented" stories please. Also some "Jimmy gets wacky powers or turned into a monster" stuff would be fun too.
Grand Moff Tarkin is jealous of strong bears pants.
"How kind he is, just like Superman"
Yeah, I always forget his kindness, like when he pretended to be another guy just to test Lois' love.
Dang his planet went to trash quick, he was looking at Superman and he was still humanoid and of course Superman said very "kind" words at the end😭🤣
In a way, you have to admit silver age Lois Lane was quite the heartbreaker.
This Amerindian portrayal seemed fine, especially for the times, until they gave a SW Nation a magical totem pole... For context, this is about as geographically divergent as a Danish superhero drawing his power from an Egyptian obelisk. Definitely see what she meant by "grab-bag of tropes."
Regardless - love the plot twist & the artist's dedication to drawing the ring.
I honestly dont think the pole was magic, l think that dude was just making up something on the spot
@@Naharu. it's not the magic that's the issue, it's that a totem pole was in New Mexico... Totem poles are part of the indigenous cultures in the Pacific NW - totally different from any traditions you'd see in the SW
She called silver age Superman kind. So kind does matter on the Lois scale. She just has a very different idea of kindness from the rest of us.
I can never get enough of these Lois Lane videos but some Lana stories or some Sueprman marriages would be good too
At 8:55 Lmbo..Sasha stop throwing Shade at Superman.

So we're going to ignore the poor rattlesnake who no longer has fangs and is probably going to die from starvation? Okay.
I thought the same thing. No wait... My first thought was "Ow!" That had to have hurt the lil guy
Being in the Kent family, all of these stories are really fun details that are always great visiting and revisiting
3:20 Didn't expect a Better Call Saul reference from Sasha. One of my favourite shows.
What a funny and oof Lois Lane comic. *Also, as a Native person, Native stereotypes can either be hilariously interesting or hilariously dumb to me.* (Ex. Man-Of-Bats or Prez's Eagle Free.)
Missed this series so much always makes me laugh 😂 please do more and always yes I would like to see superboy's ex girlfriend Lana Lang
"I love you, Strong Bear!" - Lois Lane.
You know, I was actually liking Strong Bear when he was talking about using his powers to help the reservation instead of seeking glory as a super hero. I want more heroes who just work service, helping people and not villains.
Of course... The the ring dropped

We now need a Superboy’s Ex Lana Lang
I’ve been talking about this comic series to so many random people on Grindr, I’m glad the playlist is back
😆
Is there anyone NOT watching Lois from afar on their view screens? Ever since they cancelled the Truman Show…
60s comics were like a fever dream! 😂
Forever my favorite channel. One request: MOREEEE. ty lol

"Shots fired." 🤣
I remember this story being reprinted in Lois Lane 113. For a while, I drew spaceships like the ones in this story.
I'm shocked, shocked that the Penguin hasn't come to Metropolis to woo Lois. That's just awkward and crazy gold.
5:33 *breaking bad theme starts playing.*
Babe, wake up! The new Lois Lane marriage just dropped!
I can't wait to see Lois Lane go back in time to mess with Superboy...lol
Silver Age Writers must've had it out for Lois
Back in the 70s I decided to collect the Lois Lanes that had her marrying someone, by the time it was done I realized I might as well complete the run because I already had most of them. 😂
I wonder how many people that Superman has placed in the sun that we just don't know about?
Oh if only Lois had married Strong Bear BEFORE his secret were revealed. She's so shallow.
Lois Lane Gets married is the best on youtube... lol
I've been watching you for a few years and I think this is the first time I've seen your natural hair colour. Looks good!
Classic interpretation of the ol' tale of "I write to my crush while using a Ryan Gosling photo as my Tinder profile, but she found out it was me so I just died instead"
Oh gods, THAT'S the next issue??? You have GOT to review that one!
I live in Albuquerque and Lois finding love at the reservation is uh... that's something
"Good no evidence!" that's cold.
A machine that flags people unknow "to those that matter" XD XD XD
Poor Apache Chief, I mean Longshadow er I mean Strong-Bear, but seriously how fake backstory would me a good original for Apache Chief.
"...I see outlines all over that towel. Kurt's living on the edge!" 😂😂

Yes! Lois Lane is back!
