- Опубликовано: 8 янв 2021
- In this video I go over the various depictions of Parallax Hal Jordan from Parallax's first appearance in Zero Hour to later depictions of the entity of fear itself in Green Lantern Rebirth, Blackest Night and Convergence. Join me in an exploration of one of Hal Jordan's most iconic story-lines and the beginnings of the villain known as Parallax.

I'm currently working on a "Could Hal Jordan have beaten Doomsday" video so look forward to more Hal Jordan in the future.
Thank you for this video I'm watching this now
Can help me join your discord. I was banned for delay
And you can you sooner or later work on The Spectre & all his powers and different host of Spectre??
You beautiful bird, I've been looking forward to this Green Lantern content for so long.
Kyle Rayner would be really interesting too!
maybe a Parralax vs someone like Lobo?
I always found that scene with Hal getting kicked out of the corp over recreating his home in a state of grief silly. "Hey, hey, hey! No grieving for you, @$$hat! Now give up your ring, using it to make projections is suddenly against the rules." On a serious note, I remember reading this arc when it came out and seeing OG pre-yellow space bug parallax for the first time. I was too young to really know who Hal was, but was still in awe at how crazy, desparate and unhinged was in those final moments as he killed his fellow corp members and broke Sinestros neck just before stepping into the central battery and becoming the villain. It was so intense and awesome.
To be fair I think they just wanted to shout at him not actually kick him out of the corp but it was still pretty stupid of them.
@@WebCamParrot The Guardians should consider investing in a counselor. They could call it the Green Psychologist or something.
Don’t let looks fool you
Those ompa lumpa I mean guardians are actually broke for that kind of investment
So let me get this straight Hal loses the city, the ring says no grief allowed, Hal folds some green lanterns, vibe checked Sinestro, boot gangs the power battery, folds wally, folds time trapper like an omelet twice in his own home, folds JLA, folds the Spector like a book, folds guy and kyle for breakfast, folds a sun eater into a sun, comes back and becomes an advertisement for Raid, then gives the Spector a make over, then folds himself.
sounds about right
Makes sense
24:55 "time travel is like hopscotch to him" This is a reference to the *Childrens Crusade Comic* (also Dc comics) where children use nursery rimes and the hopscotch pattern to make a portal or travel to different dimensions.
And i thought I've seen everything DC has wirh weirdness
SIniestro: Heh, I tricked them and now I'm free. Now Hal Jordan-
Hal looking especially creepy.
Sinestro: Are you feeling ok? I mean this is really out of-
Hal: I will remake the universe in my image for the city I lost.
Sinestro: Oh............shit.
I AM GOING TO SHARE THIS VIDEO UNTIL MY FINGERS BLEED.
MORE LOVE TO HAL JORDAN, I'LL DO MY PART
And to think; this all started when a little bug was scared
What
@@jetuwu8960 parallax is born from fear the first organism to feel fear gave birth to parallax in this case an insect...
Its weird how powerful the emotional entities are, but then I remember how not only do they run on fear, but they also probably gain power from the collective unconscious as things continue to happen with them
When is “How strong is Kite Man”?
That is actually a worthy discussion.
Omnipotent.
He’s high high outerversal if not boundless lol
*Poison Ivy:* Hell yeah.😏
Like to see a respect video on Kite-Man . Not ever character all ways has to be "Balls too the Wall" OP
Finally someone covering this version of Hal Jorda, everytime I look it up it something completely different.
Thank you Webcam parrot
Green lantern my fav character
same bro
I usually am a fan of the John Stewart lantern and the Jessica Cruz
@@tjjohnson1675 both amazing characters
I have just never been a "Green Lantern" fan. Hal Jordan is a likable character tho, IMO.
I've always found it coo how close friends that Hal Jordan & my favorite Superhero "Barry Allen The Flash" are.
@@benparrish672 yea I love green lantern & flash together
I just love these power/feat examination type of videos you do. I'm a pretty casual individual when it comes to comics, and while power-levels do somewhat vary by what the author degrees it to be across comics and animated spin offs: These videos help me appreciate many characters I before overlooked a tad in a whole new way because they let me get a feel for them. So when a big baddie pops up to be fought/a hero appears to fight the bad guy, and starts causing a lot of problems it also helps me get a better feel for the scale of what's going on. So thank you, and keep up the great work! - From one bird to another...because I had to use that joke. And I regret nothing.
Dude this is amazing! I cant wait to watch, DC was really needing a Lantern powerscaling.
It was Necron's plan for Sinestro to plan for Neron to plan for Cyborg Superman to plan for Mongul to plan to blow up Coast City?
I think Neron is the man in shadows here lol but yes it's very convoluted. Neron in general is there wherever corruption is happening so it would make sense for him to intentionally push Hal over the edge to the point where all this crazy stuff eventually happens.
@@WebCamParrot What is your view on the Perpertua downgrade thread on VsBattle Wiki?
@@kakarot9309 perpetua is outerversal in vs battle
my thoughts exactly! that got me confused too lol.
okay so the characters killed in the original Parallax story how were they brought back?? and originally it was suppose to be Hal Jordan's alter ego???
Some were brought back in blackest night, others when superboy punched reality, and a few just came back with varying reasons, including time shennanigans
Also yes parallax was meant to be hals "villain" name after he snapped, it was retconned to being the fear beast parallax when they introduced the full spectrum beasts
I would honestly love to see a video about Juggernaut or the avatars of Cyttorak especially Colossus.
It's mainly because when you see Juggernaut of course you only think "Oh wow big guy" but the more you look into him the more you realize he's OP af
Hal Jordans era as Parrallax is one of DC crown Jewels. Its funny ,at the of GL #52(2014) PARRALLAX battles Hal.
And then wanders off. Parrallax is still out there and DC ignores its own continuity.
Like a Ninja in the night, WebCamParrot strikes when least expected!🤘😎🤟
i really like the anti-hero aspect of some appearances of hal jordan parallax
Mostly because it makes something resembling sense and isn't just grimdark wank like Snyder's vision for the DCEU?
Strong enough to tank A NUCLEAR BLAST
Death Battle reference, terrible powerscalers.
@@CerealExperimentsMizuki I know. Someone should tell them.
Not that much of a milestone anymore.
Man The Specter really do be the "Worf" of cosmic level DC hes getting bodied left and right in these videos. Like... At this point of Webcam covers a character from DC that hasn't beaten him like a redheaded step child I just kinda feel bad for them
For all his power, he's still nothing.
@Indra Deus can you link a comic where he isn't weakened then?? Because I can't seem to find one since every form of him is weakened using your logic.
@@CerealExperimentsMizuki crisis on infinite earths
You claim to be telling them "how things work" but then you made a number of weird claims about Spectre that don't really line up with what you are trying to say about him.
Spectre no matter his form always gets stomped by 5th dimensional imps particularly Mxy but even Lkz and Thunderbolt have manhandled him with no problems at all. Spectre even whilst heavily amped lost to Anti-monitor and was also easily defeated by Michael Demiurgos who like accidentally overexerted himself slapping tf out of Spectre and flicking him away casually. No Spectre is close to any of these characters. Moreover it was Jim Corrigan vs Anti-monitor and it was Corrigan that got defeated by Parallax during Zero Hour too.
Nor is "Unbound" Spectre strong he's actually weaker without a host as has been stated numerous times. He was so weak hostless in Day of Vengeance that he had to use hax to defeat the Wizard Shazam and needed to use forbidden excess power he absorbed from people like Shazam to even hurt Nabu even when Nabu was telling Spectre to kill him.
The Spectre's power varies depending on how skilled the host at manipulating that power which is why Hal Spectre was so much more vastly powerful than his predecessors because he was already used to a Green Lantern ring. The Spectre Force itself directly compares it's own power to that of the function of a Lantern Ring. As opposed to this weird idea that The Presence is randomly changing how much power he gets when we see often that's not really how these powers work.
Also the Phantom Stranger and Spectre were made to be equals and they always do balance each other in that way as The Presence directly points out himself. The Phantom Stranger just holds back a lot more.
@@WebCamParrot for a minute there I thought I had made a wrong comment but you made all the right points.
Also to that other guy, I have picked up a comic, many, many, many in my life, I've also read even more online, I've also watched 99% of WCP videos.
Parallax can do all the damage it wants, but it will never beat the damage a crazy ex can do.
I think a lot of lack of proper appreciation from Zero Hour came from confusion. I know when I first read it I spent a while confused trying to piece together things and one of the complaints I hear most about it is that it was confusing, particulary in comparison to the only other main crisis event at that time, COIE. That said looking back on it it's a lot stronger then I remember. Similarly Parallax Hal is definitely a lot stronger then I realized. Before watching if you had asked me I would have said "yeah he beat the Spectre in Zero Hour and was really strong in Convergence" but I didn't realize how insane he was! I also thought it was really interesting seeing the information about the Sun-Eaters, those are nuts.
I've probably already commented on this video, but you're easily one of my favorite youtubers. Thanks for doing what you do!
Hell yea! I love new webcamparrot content uploaded into my RUclips feed! Haven’t watched yet but already know it’s going to be a good one!
it's a nice detail that the will power energy is colored slightly yellow whenever it is used by a Green Lantern before Parallax is purged. you can tell they were hinting at this all along. that the guardians sealed Parallax at the core of where all Green Lanterns derive their power from. a neat little detail
LOVE YOU BRO
THIS MADE MY DAY, IT REALLY DID
Emerald Twilight is such an excellent title.
Webcam parrot I enjoyed watching & listening to you sharing your knowledge with us viewers. Awesome work very well explained and informed. 👍👍⭐⭐⭐⭐
I looking forward to seeing more of your videos. Thanks.
This will sound weird but can you do a video on hands? Like, empty hand, anti monitor, presence, perpetua, the dude that fell over holding a pen while overdosing on drugs. There has been for decades this iconic scene of the open hand to be the start of everything and i understand it can represent the creation the writer brings and the hand is the means for that, but there has to be something more going on that simply that. There was one ancient greek philosopher (sadly i can't remember which one was it been years), that said that every thing takes it's from from a true thing. For example there is a perfect vase in existence and every vase everyone makes, follows this perfect form but they themselves are not perfect like it. And for everything that ever exists, it mimics it but never perfectly. The moment of the creation of the universe every time we see that hand, reminds me of this.
Best Parallax story video on internet. Do please more Lantern videos.
I'm still waiting for the Trigon Video 🥺 but this is a nice one tho
Captain atom feat with the movies chair tho a shared feat, was impressive
Been waiting for this one.
Amazing video !! Great work WebCamParrot!! As fan of DC i have to say that you are Amazing!! Hope one day we can take hands on DC and repair everything!!
Webcam you're crushing it this year
parrot casually pumping out 30-40min every week! what a champ
Months later.
Your vids on the most op are the best bar none so much detail
Just what I wanted, I asked and you gave.
Thank you for this !
amazing vid Parrot, I've found a new admiration for Hal, never knew his Parallax was that strong. Do u think you'd ever make a VS vid on Dr. Fate and Dr. Starnge, I feel like you'd be able to show people Nabu ain't no slouch
Could you maybe make a video about the most powerful beings from beyond The Overvoid?
so the leviathans
That was fun, very much enjoyed it
WHERE IS HE
Spectre is meant to be god's wrath but he's constantly taking huge L's
Spectre is like Galactus in this sense. They say he is unbeatable, then Thor and everyone beats him.
@@cjmk5923 that’s just not true. The reason Spectre even takes L is because of the limit of the human host. Spectre is bound to a host but the character or entity itself the unbound ones is unbeatable and stand in the level of the living tribunal
Not true
@@Maelkor living tribunal is marvel. That's a fair comparison because the living tribunal is taking Ls all the time to.
@@ilovedogs2642 True he died recently... All powerful beings except The Source and TOAA have taken Ls so often they become a joke.
Bruh, if they need martian man Hunter to take you down.
You ain't losing, that is savage.
Killing the game with every upload! Your channel quickly became my favorite source to listen and learn about DC characters. Would love to see a video on Doctor Fate or the lords of order and chaos!
Lovely video WebCam, I enjoyed it immensely! Have you got any plans to make a how powerful is Kyle Rayner video at some point, cause he's by far my favorite lantern and some of his later stuff is straight nutty!
Kyle Rayner AKA Space Jesus.
I like how Sinestro has mastered parallax at the end of the day.
When he takes the rings, do they just die from exposure to vacuum? Assuming that's an issue for their species, I mean..
God I love this channel
Will there be a point where we would get a vid about the beings behind each lantern color? Like Parallax, and Nekron.
I’m not sure that’ll you see this, but you do a video on Ganondorf/Ganon? Since you already did one on Xehanort.
Green Lantern Deserves more love
Patiently waiting for a video about Captain Atom
Can you made a video on The Spectre?
About his powers and stuff! Thx!
Can you make a video on the most powerful feats in all of comics
Still looking forward to your eventual Trigon video. I also hope a video on Krona and Volthoom down the line.
How strong is paralax hal Jordan :
Me: "wel.. he's pretty... pretty uh... high up there. Hol up. "
* pulls out a graph *
"about... riiiiiiiiiiiight..."
*reached to the
source wall *
"There... right there."
He's far above source tier if you paid attention
Seems about right.
do you plan on making a video on the bigger history of dc's cosmos like the creation and all the crisis' and all that stuff i think that'd be a cool idea
Great video. What comic issue was it where Hal beat Captain Atom at 6:51 ?
Binging webcamparrot again 🪝
Long time subscriber, first time commenter. Can you do a cover of Owlman?
Bloody hell, he's very powerful. Nice one! Also, could you please do DC Cosmology vs Marvel Cosmology in the future?
He already did DC
DCs is bigger and honestly better written
Well... DC cosmology is better written...
@@muriloopensador4864 well yeah its not obfuscated like marvels is.
dc would win im p sure, marvel is stuck with multiverses as far as i know and DC has confusing shit like omniverses and stuff along those lines
Good video
Please make a video on "Perpetua" and "The Great Evil Beast"
Idk why, but any story that amounts to,
One of the justice league members has gone rogue...
They always end up amazing and this is no exception.
Can you do a video on imperiex or dominus, their pretty underrated villains that doesn't get much attention.
Hey! Who would win webcam-parrot the incredible hulk or parralax Hal Jordan??!!(I would love to know your opinion on these two grossly overpowered greeny baddies!!!
I remember reading blackest night and agreeing with sinestro. I think he would be a better host and likely could control its power as his alone.
he does end up controlling Paralax (kinda) post Geoff Johns run.
Can you do a video of how powerful is Kyle Rayner as both green lantern and white lantern
I do have a question about the Parallax from Convergence. He lingers around the DCU for quite some time after its conclusion and after he confronts the current incarnation of Hal and is convinced to leave, what happens to him? I believe he had another appearance after this, but I have been able to track it down. He hasn't been mentioned or seen since, and I find it curious that so powerful an entity just disappears into limbo without explanation.
My guess is he’s chilling in the heavenly pocket dimension superboy prime, Alexander luthor and the golden age Lois and Clark went after crisis and never left.
Hell considering the powers of dr Manhattan have trouble emotional spectrum it wouldn’t surprise me if he’s still around after death metal just contemplating his existence.
Then there’s the theory Hal secretly won the zero hour crisis but I won’t go into details.
Could you do some more character analysis videos
Hey man it's been a while since the last video I hope you're doing well
I sent you a message on Twitter But I wasn’t certain if it was your page or not. I was wondering If you wouldn’t mind giving me your top ten most powerful characters in DC comics.
Speaking of mongul, do you think you’ll ever do a video about him at some point?
20:53 the more than one universe he is talking about is explicitly the marvel universe - green lantern/silver surfer: unholy alliances: parallax and cyborg superman slip into 616 where parallax convinces the silver surfer to give over some of his power, though that of course turns out to be a mistake.
Do you think you’ll ever cover Monarch?
Toothy Parallax creeps me out.
please make a video on how *the presence* gave up on creation and gave it to *elaine belloc* dc
I hated how geff Johns chicken out on how Hal Jordan fall and became evil. All to make Hal A guy who was under something besides him turning evil. This 94 story is so much better of how a hero falls.
How powerful is Brainiac, especially Convergence version?
Can you do a video about the power of the Scarlet King from the SCP Mythos?
Isnt he basically the king in yellow, hastur from hp lovecraft, who may or may not be nyarlathothep.
If so hes a cthonic god with mass mind manipulation and telepathic powers as well as the ability to grant protection with his mark. The ability to take many forms, cause madness or absolute loyalty in nearly anybody, and the ability to move through shadows and dreams.
If you go by the idea that hastur is another form of nyarlathothep, then he is also the embodiment of pure chaos with the ability/job to awaken the elder gods when the time is right for the universe to fall and once he gets bored.
@@HovektheArtist
Uhh the Scarlet King is almost nothing like the King in Yellow in nature.
That's the Hanged King mostly.
@@thorshammer7883 i must have been thinking of the crimson or red king from something else, my bad
Too many red stylized "kings"
Hal Jordan Parallax Zero Hour the original version. Then they succumbed to the fan pressure to make hal Jordan under the spell of The Parallax entity. I hated that. Hal Jordan became Parallax all on his own and he did an awesome job all on his own not this crazy Parallax entity crap he was awesome as parallax. Incredible character
Precisely. It was dating and innovative to see a great hero descend into being an even greater villain. The parallax as a fear bug was a cop out.
@@rodneyholmes5260 absolutely right...hal jordan/parallax is awesome. Parallax entity...weak weak WEAK excuse and blasphemous cop out
And it was editor pressure that made the turn from the end of issue 46 into the beginning of issues 47 possible. Emerald Twilight was rushed, hard and while decent not a very good story.
Let alone that Parallax didn't control Hal directly, as stated several dozen times in Geoff John's runs, Hal admits this that he was influenced, but still committed those actions.
Its not even GL Rebirth that started it, as in Hal's Spectre run, Parallax shows up in Hal's mind as a strange mix of foreign entity and split personality.
Sure, it was a retcon. But in thescheme of retcons, especially for DC it was one of the best done and allowed for a major expansion of the GL mythos.
@@ssjjshawn thanks for the info...luv gal Jordan the one true parallax...the weak excuse for his turn parallax entity..just sucks bad. Hal did it and he was AWESOME doing it
@@ssjjshawn I thank you for the info as well. It seems that even then they weren't committed to the Hal as villain storyline. Which is why it lacked the resonance of a massive heel turn such as Dark Phoenix, or Onslaught. As for Johns, I have several criticisms of his body of work. Expressly retconning hero's origins when it doesn't have to be (the yellow impurity, Barry's mom being murdered being the main two). That said, I have to admit that his run on GL is legendary.
Everytime I see the spectre... he just is JOBBING.
Hey I was wondering after the conclusion of death metal has the powerscaling in dc changed in any major ways? Like did superboy prime get buffed? And is the empty hand related to the hands mentioned?
Prime didn't get a buff. because he didn't do any damage to Darkest Knight. just punched him around. and that Hand is belong to Perpetua
A lot of the DC cosmic landscape (quintessence) got wiped by the new Darkseid
Please do heirachy of both DC heaven and hell as well as other realms
I know this is more about Hal as Parallax, but your really did just skip over over one of Kyle Ryner's finest moments at 19:45.
Hmmmm... So, like Kyle Rainer just randomly gives a psychotic Hal Jordan (who was just thwarted from destroying the universe) the one thing he needs to regain power to destroy the universe?
Please do a monarch video 🙏🙏
where the hell is the video on trigon, i have been waiting for months
This form of Hal Jordan automatically solos Alien X and his entire fodder verse.
underrated op character
Great vid
Can you do a video on how or if you can kill lobo
Green lantern videos UwU
Could you do one with just hal?
Hal alone has a lot of appearances
I don’t think Ben 10 would stand chance against Hal Jordan Parallax... *._.*
It’s a good thing Parallax isn’t a standard form for him, then
@@lolstalgic9602 Otherwise Ben would be dead. Then again? If the Omnitrix were to stop working due to a solar flare, it would stop the device from preventing Ben from ever dying. If that Hal ever learned that, a fight between the two would be over very quickly.🤔
@snow It worked in the show.
Can you please do full video on The Furies and no I'm not talking Darkseids Female Furies. The Furies in Sandman. :)
what is the song at 15:06?
