Origin of Volthoom/The First Lantern (Green Lanterns Rebirth: Last Will of The First Lantern)

Rob don't quit you and comicstorian are the best you go in deep deep dep's in explaining that is still easy for someone who does normally read comics

[@oggino806]

Doesn't

[@N00KIExM0NSTER]

As a Space nerd i just was to clarify that orbit length doesnt ,generally, have a correlation of length of day. Length of day has to do with the rotation of the planet no orbit.

[@JakeStephensMrJakeStephens]

I am glad you and other comic book YT channels can coordinate. I truly think that is awesome and very respectable.

[@BirDLaw-dh1di]

Rob you should do a DC hierarchy video.

[@yodison666]

TheMainman Boiii agreed. just for the hell of it

[@20DollarGoldPiece]

Variant comics already made a video on it last week

That's probably why they wanted him to make the video.

[@candacerobertson8140]

Rob: For those of you who have not read Geoff Johns' stories... Me: Those poor poor people.

[@HAYveku]

I think comicsexplained has slowly become my favourite channel

[@mrknowall2849]

What I love about Geoff Johns writing and his positions Chief Creative Officer is that he continuously reimagines the Green Lantern mythos. I love the GL corps , I think most people don't realize that this has a potential of being a profitable movie franchise. I feel that this is DC's version of Star Wars meets Lethal Weapon meets Avatar. I really can see a big mega movie trilogy with great big budget Special Effects with a Anime style action sequence for the GL ring constructs!!

[@WideAwake127]

It's so cool how Comicstorian, Comic Pop and you work together. With all of the KZbin pissing contest between channels going on these days its just refreshing. I am subscribed to all of you guys so you guys most likely share the same subscribers any ways. Good job man :)

[@ThePastelAssassin]

Is this the best thing coming out of DC?

Pastel Assassin lol couldn't have said it better myself but with that said I'm gonna end my post peace!! (don't sue me for infringement Rob)

[@Dylankiwi1]

not best thing but out of the new creations it is, New Superman is awesome but This new GL title is really interesting adding more lore to this DC universe, while news sups a standalone title u can watch my reaction to it in my channel if u want. In my opinion Superman probaly best thing in DC atm lots of the stories are awesome just Superman is even better. Flash has improved significantly compared to his new 52 run and many others. But still want Swamp Thing back again for his solo series

[@lifestreet109]

[@AfterAlchemy]

I'm a fan and a sub since the days of MarvelExplained, but you really f****d up the real world science at 4:40 and that gets my hackles up. The Earth's orbit determines a year not a day. Rotation determines the length of the day. I'm sure you actually know that but...

[@michaelthethird702]

I love your videos, Rob.

[@Rahhelthethird]

4:49 The speed at which the planet orbits the sun defines the length of a year not a day. The length of a day is depended on how fast the planet spins around its axis.

[@HB238]

love this channel!!

[@attackofthetheeyecreatures3472]

Hey, Rob. I enjoy your commentary and explanation of everything comics: from characters to power sets, and stories. But what I would absolutely love to hear you say when I click on one of your videos, "Now, what I want to do today is talk about *Dr. Fate* and give you a better understanding..." That would be the bee's knees.

[@LilZuZu]

Hey idk who comic historian was till this video but seriously your vids are better even if I never seen one of theirs XD

[@christopherleonard82]

This video is touching on some serious deeeep sh!# great job @ComicsExplained !

[@dava4444]

Enjoying this thanks :) afair~ I think based on the animated series, which is the canon I follow the closest.. Orange Lantern Corps (oldest) .. Star Sapphire (also as old and separate) Manhunters Red Lantern Green Lantern Blue Lantern I realize this is not the story of the comics, but y'know the way they told it made a lot more sense than the comics imho.. They tried creating a Lantern Corp (Avarice, I imagine in an attempt to promote the 'care' aspect of ownership, like caretakers) which failed, creating a civil war within that corps and throughout the galaxy, to respond to this they created the manhunters, the manhunters decimated Atrocitius' home planet killing his wife and children, which led to him creating the Red Lantern Corps. Again, in response to the Manhunters being seen as more of a threat than a peacekeeping force, the Guardians decommissioned the Manhunters and tried again at a Lantern Corps, this time with the power of Will. With the Blue Lantern Corps being started by Saint Walker and a renegade Guardian Ganthet.. to me this all makes perfect sense, No Indigo Tribe was introduced, but it would have been easy to tell their story as they could have existed and not been known about, being separate like the Star Sapphires..but existing from around the time where the Red Lanterns and Green Lanterns beginnings overlap. As Rob said, it's a bit 'messy' in the comics.. the animated series was very sensible and streamlined. I like it :)

[@Maelvos]

Could you do a discussion about magic in the DC universe? It seems like there are tons of types and they all do different things but it's never been super clear to me. Like...if Zatanna can just make whatever she says backwards happen, how is she not considered a god-tier reality warper?

[@culvernile2255]

Atlantis is the source of magic. Never really tied it all together in Aquaman. Skartaris is also tied to it.

[@bold810]

If Zatanna has to pronounce what she intends backwards for it to happen, does this mean she says "siht reven deneppah" and does that mean she doesn't need RU-486?

Damion Will Yeah Comicstorian moves at a wayyy faster pace, but I like how Rob breaks everything down to the atom.

[@Fumblepufff]

how fast a plant goes around the sun =/= how long the day will be, that is years. Great video as always though!

[@icchamp2010]

love, love, LOVE your videos and the content you create and put out here to share with us. That being said, to correct you sir, the length of a day is determined by the speed of rotation and size of a planet like Earth not the speed of the orbital velocity of a planet around a star like our sun, which determines the length of a year (one definition of a year anyway). Thanks for who you are and for all that you do, never stop being you and doing the things you do sir. Cheers eh!

[@lake_cooper]

Very interesting stuff. I've always been a Marvel guy, but this DC mythology is getting more and more intriguing to learn about. I always thought DC was more cheesy, and for kids, but how wrong I was. TOTALLY DIGGIN' IT!!!!

Mark N. A year late but no I don’t watch him either lol

[@ArthurEKing8472]

It's not the orbit around the sun that determines the length of a day. it's the earth's rotation on it's axis that causes that. the orbit around the sun determines the seasons. (sorry to nitpick, you're not a science channel, but I do still enjoy your series! keep up the good work!)

I just started watching your content about a week or so ago and became a sub after the first video. You make amazing content and you really put in the effort for your videos. I'm mostly a DC fan but I am trying to watch all the content so I'm familiar with what's going on. That being said I was wondering if you ever done a video on DC's Section 8? I learned about these guys some time ago and would love to hear your opinion on them. Thank you.

[@ponrix]

Wow. That is a cool story. A man creates a travel lantern to find a way to cure his planets problems. Than after who knows how many years of traveling and talking to others he gets a ring which lets him tap into the emothinal spectrum easier. Gets drunk with power and the guys who helped create the ring make 7 more and take him down. Than he sits for billions of years. Big events have small beginnings is so so true here.

[@theoncomingstorm8009]

thanks Rob!

[@maciekx10]

I always found the whole "if someone dies then the curse/object will stop" to be really easy to solve. In comics many characters die and come back form getting their whole bodies destroyed so why not just kill them and revive them later. Hell get a doctor to stop the hear and brain and revive the person before their brain starts to die off.

[@MassayukiSama]

Wrath of the first lantern was one of the best GL stories,I'm happy to see Volthoom making a return.

[@ArbyWan]

My god guys... Green Lantern is the best thing coming out of DC right now...Just finished the whole Brightest Day series and man was that a looonnnnnggggg ride lol

[@benrobertson86]

have you did a origin of Gambit video? if not I'd love to hear you go over with him or his story lines

[@KlarkBrothers]

Volthoom doesn't know how much time he spent jumping not because of the different day length on other earths, but because the time itself may run slower or faster. Saying the Time, I mean "time particles" if it even has them. According to the theory of relativity if you move as fast as the speed of light or faster time slows for you and you age slower than those who aren't moving along with you. Jumping-Volthoom could've stumbled across universes that experience same effect. That's why he didn't know how much time he spent searching for a savior. Bad luck with bad universe may've lead to thousand or even millions of years to a single day. And why does it always come to some unknown wizard to create something that sounds un-science, when everything that advanced races create looks completely reasonable.

[@tedyitna2111]

Did nobody hear him say that the length of earths days depend on how fast the earth orbits around the sun?

[@ckaner1774]

why?

[@ICasinI]

C Kaner Because it's not true. It's the rotation that defines the length of a day not the orbit.

[@samueldimmock694]

Well, it kind of does. You see, in the time it takes the Earth to make one full rotation, the direction of the Sun shifts slightly, and the amount that it shifts depends on how fast the Earth is orbiting. I think that one Earth day is a few seconds longer than the time it takes for the Earth to make one full rotation, though it could be a bit shorter instead. Not that this has any practical effect on anything, but it's still true.

[@M0kuu]

One big question: Had this one for a long time - What kind of power rings do we get in the RobCorps ? 4Rth wall ring? Continuity Ring?

[@nilmukherjee000]

Thats what we needed :P

[@cockmaster69696969]

4:45 earth orbiting the sun is a year passing, not a day passing.

[@CoLeMaWeSoMe]

I really just want a Green Lantern who fights crime like Superman or Spider-Man, this stuff is interesting but now he's just a space guy doing space guy stuff. He's a hero, just that one thing would let me enjoy his stories a lot more. Like Green Lantern fighting street crime with his cool ring? I love that
