Fun fact: Charlie Adler Low-lights voice actor in the cartoon would later go on to voice cobra commander in G.I.Joe Resolute and G.I.Joe Renegades.

[@dbut5427]

Most underrated and my favorite character

[@kratoscraken5614]

He's like a Clint Eastwood guy, not social and he thrives off nightmares, I remember LL and I like his character plus snipers are always cool. well done 💪

[@sloppydog4831]

One of my preferred Joes from childhood.

[@Lowlight23]

Obviously my favorite! Thanks for giving my boy some love. 😎

[@degrijzeduif2333]

One of my all time favourites, tnx!!

[@roberteldritch6285]

Low Light's quotes were savage in the show.

[@RecoilCDS]

One of the best characters of the cartoon. Didn’t get used very much in the original 155 original series run. Some of the info you used is incorrect, although I don’t blame you. The M4 carbine wasn’t fielded until 1997 and don’t think the ACOG was fielded until the 90’s as well. You see Snake Eyes mount low lights scope onto Leathernecks rifle in Sierra Gordo.

[@DavidLLambertmobile]

Low Light would have been in the AMU or Army Marksmanship Unit. They are based in Fort Benning GA.

[@thelaughingrouge]

His story was so grim. It was definitely a stand out!

[@thegadflygang5381]

I was just speaking about this. Lowlights story was extra dark (no pun intended), even by GI Joe standards. It really resonated with me as a kid, to push on and be brave For all its glorious marketing, GI JOE was actually a pretty decent lesson for young boys

[@pendragonxt3674]

Yes indeed. And those PSAs definitely helped boys learn valuable lessons.

[@IsiahTomas]

That episode got me to learn more about lucid dreaming.

[@peterang78]

Low lighting was freaking awesome in the cartoon in my opinion. He consider my favorite G.I. Joe character, alongside with quick kick, wild bill, and snake eyes.

[@AustinTXSlasher]

There was this one episode from the DIC series - Night of the Creepers - where Low Light's got a fear of ghosts. Kind of a dark episode as well, especially for that particular series. Kind of plays on his timidness from childhood a bit, which I could appreciate. I'm loving this channel. I keep finding more joes that I get curious about for their back stories. Thanks for your hard work.

[@brileyblackburn3253]

Butsn as an older kid by that time ( thirteen) having a kids show deal with domestic abuse and child trauma that bluntly was shocking

[@AustinTXSlasher]

@@brileyblackburn3253, definitely, especially if you were older and realized that all of that meant.

[@wolfprime]

One thing I’m learning watching your videos is my all time, favorite, lone wolf, ninja badass character, Snake Eyes sure gets captured a lot.

[@avice10535]

Finally my favorite character of the series!

[@jdo8560]

Low-Light is so badass.

[@voodoochild7778]

Lowlight was always a favorite of my Joe collection.Along with Mutt,Blowtorch,Recondo,Stalker and Beachhead.And i always liked Chuckles also.I think it was the shirt lol

[@jonbonson75]

Great videos man! Definitely helps the time pass during isolation. Great production value, and love the way you breeze through and intersect all the different media.

[@samurairebel8]

thank you so much for all your G.I. Joe videos

[@bdscavenger]

can you do a review on the gi joe member sci fi?

[@jakeproven256]

I like Low-lights origin in the cartoon a lot better than on the file card. Low-lights bio in the order of battle Mini-series is very similar to his origin in the cartoon I think Hasbro had Larry Hama change it because they didn't want references to child abuse in bios for children's toys. I also prefer Low-light in the cartoon cause we did learn more about him and he was more developed as well.

[@Biorythym]

I know this is mainly a comic channel; but wished you touched on the animated series more....his Sunbow spotlight episode was great, and he he had a major point in DiC series ferreting out Scoop. The piece de resistance? the line in "Arise Serpentor, Arise" Part 5: Lifeline: "Hey Low-Light! Hasit ever occured to you there might be an easier way to settle disputes?" Low-Light " Yeah Lifeline, it's called a gun." Number one line you couldn't get away with today!

[@AustinTXSlasher]

I would have to agree here. Lowlight's one of the joes that really did a lot in the cartoon - in Sunbow and DIC. They kept him pretty solid throughout both series.

[@MiKeMiDNiTe-77]

Low Light really stands out he's a stealthy cool and kinda (excuse the pun) dark character, my favourite Marauder and my favourite 86 Joe 🌙

[@bradyblu4794]

I wonder if we will ever get a history and origin episode about Bazooka. That would be awesome.

[@Biosynthnut]

Hope we get a decent Classified Figure of him.

[@theruiner4272]

i think this is their only sniper. they have a heavy weapons specialist, some machine gunners, laser gunners, demomen, a medic, a technician, some infiltrators, commandos, a spy, a bunch of infantry assault riflemen, and CQC soldiers. but they only have ONE joe thats KIND OF a sniper, which is this guy. i mean they have a sniper (whos rlly a designated marksman) in one of their cheesy live action movies with The Rock...

[@cmiller0987]

I read somewhere that Spirit had sniper training, dunno if it was ever used in any Joe media

[@brightkaous1673]

It's Robot Chickens, Fumbles!

[@sfcd4757]

i always liked LowLight, BeachHead and Flint as my top 3

[@Canoby]

LowLight and Flint were always captains of cool. It took me growing up and floating around the real world to appreciate Beachhead, and where he was coming from. As a kid I just thought he was a d*ck with the way he treated the Rawhides, but really any decent commander or even private sector manager type would have the same issues with them he did. And the crowd ain't the only thing that's gone bananas!

[@hasbrosbeforehoes]

I forgot about him. He looked so cool.

[@OUTDABOXX1]

As a kid him and Sci-Fi was 2 of my favorites

[@toon_cosplay_guy7930]

Love these videos gives me a great back story and insite into a figure I own

[@jeremyriley2378]

Low-Light is my favorite Joe, that's who.

[@falconone7230]

He had cool glasses

[@nickfrancis]

One of my favorite Joe's, they should've put him in with the issue were the Joe's invade Springfield, Low-light would've been perfect on the assault team!🤔👍🏽

[@lennyalcina4340]

Great video, the life of the sniper, i wish Low Light would had made a live action version

[@Zeoinx69]

I am personally glad he didnt get ruined by the live action films.

[@sammoss3980]

I have always been a Low-Light fan

[@Zeoinx69]

His V1 Figure is hands down one of the best GI Joe ARAH OG figures in the line. Loved having Lowlight, Shockwave, Blocker, and Falcon as my go to team.

[@daleballard7350]

He was one of my favorites because he was from ND. I was born in Minot ND. Only spent my younger years there. He was cool character as well.

[@isaacmm1407]

Love this series of GI Joe characters. Thanks!

[@shanefairbanks1061]

You should do ones on the Fridge and Super Trooper!

[@erikseidler793]

Lowlight was one of the worst voice changes between Sunbow and DiC. Original Lowlight sounded like Clint Eastwood, then they went with a wildly different sound. Also Lady Jaye lost that Kathleen Turner rasp, and Flint became extremely Southern sounding.

[@Biosynthnut]

Why I loved this character. The Clint Eastwood vibe.

[@thegadflygang5381]

I dont think I ever saw the Dic one, but you are so right about Lady Jaye. That gravely voice so fit her, Scarlett was more the looker but Lady Jaye had alot going on which made even a young boy admire her. I can still hear Flints voice in my head and Lowlight did sound like Eastwood except with a lot of trauma

[@erikseidler793]

@@thegadflygang5381 Dic Lowlight sounded like a peppy kindergarten teacher or kid's show host. Think LeVar Burton on Reading Rainbow or one of the adults in Sesame Street.

[@nedemas]

If he grew up in Crosby North Dakota, I find it hard that he would find 20 rats in the county dump, let alone get lost in a non existent North Dakota forest. Cool they said hes from my neck of the woods bit wish they did some research

[@dubuyajay9964]

Well his file card did say they were rumors. And while he was born there, what if he grew up around Devil Lake? Isn't that place forested?

Hey, love the GI Joe brake downs and just started getting back into GI Joe. Never read the comics, just watched the show. A timeline of the big events video would be really helpful. How many times did Snake Eyes die / fake death? When is the Springfield invasion?
