Booster is such a fun character, I loved him in JLI. And boostle is my favourite dc bromance ever. (I may or may not watched whole batman brave and the bold series just for their few appearances, we wil never know...)

I love Booster because he's a jerk with a golden posterior, to borrow your phrasing, and so much more. I like that he ends up being one half of the best comic book duo ever (in my opinion), Booster and Beetle, and that he's a legit hero who is also a legit fool and tool in different ways. He isn't perfect but he remains a hero nonetheless. He is compromised by human foibles, but those compromises do not prevent him from being heroic.

Anytime I think about Booster Gold I instantly think about Ted Kord and instantly start crying. When will their friendship come back in the main DC Timeline!

Booster Gold's decision to protect the timestream, while maintaining that negative self-image of himself has always been my favorite arc for a character. And then, when he tried to prevent Joker from paralyzing Barbara Gordon made me love his interactions with Batman afterward, thus legitimizing another storyline I hated (the first being when he tries to save Beetle.)

Booster Gold reminds me of Tiger and Bunny which is essentially "What if every hero was a cashcow" but had very sweet message of "Yeah they may shill a bit for that money, but if they are needed they will risk there lives for others" which is kinda how I feel about Booster. He can be self-centered jerk at times, but he will do the right thing in the end.

I’m here for the Sasha A.I. voice. Just was not expecting it. Hilarious.

One of my favorite characters and severely underrated.

For me the quintessential way to depict booster gold is from Justice Leauge Action. In a particular episode it reveals he is super important to the timeline and the reason he seems so useless in other episodes is because he does his job so well.

"Maybe someone should call the Ambush Bug!"

back when Booster first came out me and my buddy tasked each other to pick a super obscure char. He chose Blue Devil and I took Booster and he's still one of my fav's still even now

I see Booster Gold, I click.

Booster Gold is an excellent choice for a character analysis. He’s deeply flawed and relatable... as an adult. As a kid/teen his design and attitude were giant turnoffs. Yay Sasha!

Booster Gold should've been DC's first superhero movie in which they could've set up everything moving forward, establishing other characters, world building and the concepts of time travel; and how one person can make a difference. Booster has a great backstory, zero to hero tale...

I like Booster Gold, because he reminds me of my life. I had it all, numerous scholarships and a good promising future, but I had thrown it away because of some personal stuff that happened in my family. And, i almost turned to crime to support my family in monetary value. I tried to pick myself up by enrolling in a job training course, even getting a little side job to get enough money for my family, and I was solely focused on that, but I didn't keep in touch with them, and one time when I was talking with them, they didn't want me back home just because of not keeping in touch, so they disowned me. So I share some traits with Booster Gold.

I loved Booster when he first came out, but honestly, I loved the comics after the first Crisis. I think DC really did amazing work after they reset everything.

I think gone with the wind is nod at him not knowing current events

Always liked Booster Gold, but he really needed (and needs) a rogue's gallery

Loved him in all his animated appearances, and this issue is just amazing! Definitely gonna read this original run

I loved Booster. He was different and in comics that was hard to come by.

I'm actually a big fan of Booster and his friendship with Blue Beetle and when I learned of Beetle's death (spoilers!) after I had taken a break from comics, my first thought was, "How's Booster dealing with that?" To this day I want a Beetle and Booster buddy comedy TV show or film.

Gotta love the subtlety of the whole thing, like making the character a money-grabbing waste of oxygen or those first few pages in general.

Booster is a fun character, especially when he interacts with Blue Beetle. He's not as obnoxious as Guy Gardner.

Crop tops for all! Crop tops for all!

This issue was included in a tie-in for "The Suicide Squad" b/c Blackguard was in it, and it was so Funny I had to read the entire run. Oh my god it was amazing. Loved his arc and how he changed, and also how the world felt like the 80s as understood by some person who's only experience with it was rewatching 80s movies over and over. I would kill for a modern series that kept the 80s setting

In wrestling the term Babyface means that you're a good guy and the term heel in wrestling means the bad guy

And now, he's getting a TV show as part of the DCU

I actually worked in a comic store when Booster started. I recommended his book to many customers.

I love this dude … it would be great to see a series with him and old school blue beetle

LOVE your Jimmy impression - you HAVE to do more in depth stuff with Jimmy now!! And as a request more Booster information on his 52 backstory and his friendship with Blue Beetle.

BOOSTER GOLD has been one of my favorite DC heroes

Ah yes, The greatest hero you’ve never heard of! He’s always been my fave, I actually all of his original run and I have one of the comics signed by Dan Jurgens.

Some years ago, I was the faculty advisor for a middle school comics club. I brought in all my old comics and basically passed them out to the kids. I had one little guy, who for whatever reason loved Booster Gold. I like him too. I agree with you that 52 was one of the great story arcs of all time. Anyway, towards the end of the year, I decided to go to Comicon (my first time) with my two grown kids. I asked the little guy if I could get anything for him. He asked for anything with Booster Gold. In the end, I couldn’t find a single BG related item. It was the first year that Pop Vynil figures came out, so I got him a Green Lantern (and a Wonder Woman for myself). No Booster Gold stuff at that time, though I did see a cute girl cosplaying Booster Gold. She had a female Blue Beetle friend.

I love that you did this! I’ve always loved him and Scott Free.Your channel is wonderful

I'm here for Skeets and his Billy West voice.

"Skeets" meant that in the 80's too.

I feel like the Metropolis reporters are so harsh because they've been spoiled by having Superman around. So if ever a person gets hit and feels it, they're like "Ohh, he's actually BAD at this...!"

This was one of your best episodes. I laughed so hard and even looked up the problematic word skeets, uh yeah never doing that again. I own this book and can never look at it the same way ever again. Great work. You looked so proud of The Ghostbusters reference.

I love your videos where u introduce us to a character. I got into comics like a year ago and there is no chance for me to read all the comics. Love these kind of videos!

I was introduced to Booster through his episode of Justice League Unlimited and in comics through his series after the 52 event. He is my favorite hero because yes he is all of the negative things but he’s the type of character that shows you can still grow and do great things even if you screw up. 💛

Your videos are awesome. Thank you for the content.

Booster Gold was character I never paid attention to until that Batman arc where he try to bring back Bruce parents. I decided I didn't like him and Heroes in Crisis didn't help my opinion. So this is a eye opener for me.

Booster Gold will always be my favorite Green Lantern.

This channel is my new favorite thing...EVER!

i had a male crop top like that, we called them belly shirts. They became popular because you could wear them under your football pads and no chaffe as much, but still radiate heat from your belly. Also you could have killer abs and those 60s,70s,80s male booty shorts we called athletic shorts (pre michigan fab 5 who popularized baggy shorts in basketball) you could show off. It's weird to call someone baby face, I immediately thought of the infamous murderer Baby Face Nelson. That slang is ancient and that man has come to be synonymous with the term

Booster is definitely my fave male dc superhero, thank you for this. Hope you do more on him in the future

I absolutely enjoy Booster. I love the irony of his story where yes he came to the last for fame of being a great hero. And then actually becomes the greatest hero, saving reality multiple times, but due to the time travel and resetting of timelines, no one is aware that he did anything

"Look it up if you don't know. You hear it in rap songs all the time"🤣😂🤣😂🤣 I'm dying over here Bwahahahahha

I feel like you talking about booster gold is the same energy as me talking about kite man. Either way, the deserve their own duo solo series

"Learn the idioms of this time," or, the 80s. Being a child of the 80s, the idioms, while still cringey, were accurate. You realize inserting the idioms of 2020 (skeets) makes you as out of time as Booster... I found this funny. Thanks for another great video!

Great voicyng over,just great!

Booster Gold: the greatest Green Lantern!

8:58 who else thought the kid was gonna say that he was Green Lantern? XD

Never knew of him other than tv\cartoon... Liked the vid...loved the voices

My first exposure to the Gold-man, was with batman the brave and the bold, and I absolutely loved him! I feel like his character really meshed with the tone of the show and he was always a... BLAST 😬, Whenever he showed up

I hated him from the start but I've softened to him with time. I'd love to hear more about his arc and weird and wonderful storylines!

Skeets, double-team.... All that's left is an ATM reference. All agents in the 80's talk exactly like Troy McClure from the Simpsons.

I never really gave much thought to Booster, but I admit hearing about his storyline and growth interests me. I shall check him out, also great episode as always.

All this talk about booster gold make me want to play DC universe, since he is the narrator/ landscape guide!

I really liked him in Justice League Action, and the more I learn about him, the more I’m hooked!

you have made it exciting for me to draw again... jeepers, i draw while listening to you... you are the coolest of the cool!!!

Booster is my absolute favorite. I love superman, but I can’t properly relate. Booster on the other hand lol.

The reason I like Booster Gold is because of the JL unlimited cartoon. The ark you speak of is showcased. He wants to be famous but is made to control the crowd while the big hitters are fighting the big villan.He does save day but one one sees it. Thats what makes him so great. Under the puff he is a good person and can be a hero!

MORE BOOSTER GOLD!!! "Gone With The Wind" is an out there pul, though if I am not mistake with inflation it is the highest grossing movie. Well still would've at the time.

Heya, I think the “baby face” could be the wrestling term for good guy. They just say face now. I think it’s really great to have Blackgaurd use that as an insult for the introduction comic of a new hero.

Wow what do you know, booster gold passed the cake test 😊

I absolutely loved him for a while, and it's great!

Very good video that is very funny and underrated character

Booster drew my interest cause he's different from the usual DC or even Marvel characters. Yeah he's a fish out of water but you gotta create drama somehow. Future-guy in the past is at least interesting cause they don't do the usual time travel tropes of butterfly effect that's been done to death. He's quirky and likable as a kinda everyman living his dream.

Whosethe Gold? Booster Gold! Whosethe Gold? Booster Gold!!

BOO$TER!!! My favorite supe!

Just found your channel.... The reason Booster didn´t mention Ghostbusters instead of Gone with the Wind is because, with some exceptions, DC (as a Warner Bros. property) will make use of their own licenses. ....and I found this by coinicidence. For instance, I´ll be watching a movie/TV series be it current or from the past and it would stand out to me a DC Comics reference. Especially when there wasn´t that need for it or it was very obscure. Right now I can´t remember the name but I do remember that there was this project of the actress Heather Locklear (I tend to think it was a romantic comedy movie but could very well a TV show appearance...probably Two and Half Men then) where there´s this reference to Superman. And it´s not the Superman reference that threw me off but that she claimed to know that he dated Lana Lang while in High School. That was a very specific reference, coming from a mature woman (the character wasn´t into comics or anything and this was before all the current movies) and out of nowehere. So I checked who was behind it and it was Warner. ...and from there go back and check whenever a DC reference happens. In Gremlins 2 the Batman logo when the batgremlin flies through a wall or that the comics shown in The Lost Boys while in the comic shop are from DC. It´s really cool that they do that but it´s more impressive that it´s not a current thing. I LOVE THAT! It´s like how Warner always bring back actors/actresses from past TV shows or movies to either come back on a recurring role or as guest star in a show. Of course, this is in full display more so in the Arrowverse but this happened before it too. ...but, let´s take Martian Manhunter. How come in Supergirl is father was the voice actor of the same character in the JL TV series and then, when the brother showed up, was also the voice actor who played GL (John Stewart) in the same show. PS You should/could do a video on both these topics. PS1 Yes, in The Big Bang Theory the would reference and even show Marvel stuff. Even having Stan Lee there. But that was different. That show was about Geek/Comic fandom. Warner couldn´t, even if they wanted, to leave Marvel off. But still, the references are minimal compared to eveything they did with the DC stuff. Not only did the apartments had DC Collectibles but also in the Comic Shop EVERYTHING on display was DC. PS2 I´m a DC guy...yet I even liked that Stan Lee was there. He was a very nice guy all around; even if Marvel isn´t my thing. But he even appeared on interviews of DC/WB stuff. Like the Extras on the DVD/BD of the Tim Burton Batman movie.

Never read this but I LOVE this comic. This Booster Gold is perfect!

😛😝 awesome video

Eye-opening vid! Booster Gold first happened as I was checking out of reading super hero comics on the regular. And at first glance, everything about him said "tacky '80s creep": Vain, egotistical, selfish, greedy. Like a super-powered version of Charlie Sheen's character from the movie Wall Street or '80s Donald Trump. Or (more recently) Leo DiCaprio from The Wolf of Wall Street, but with less game. Hate those guys. I later saw depictions of him as part of a comedic duo with the Blue Beetle, but this only softened my impression of the character from jerk to buffoon. But I've got to give you this, Sasha: you find the good in people, even in fictional characters of dubious worth. :) Seriously, thanks for walking us through this book--I'd never read it and probably never would have. I think I see where the writer is trying to go, here: The greedy glory-hound is secretly a clueless phony, definitely not cool in the way he pretends to be, is maybe even kind of ... needy? There could be an interesting back story, there, and the makings of an arc. Just ... hope the character gets some therapy, never goes into casinos, beauty contests, real estate, or politics ...

When you think about it, Dante's Divine Comedy is just a huge self insert fanfic...

I’m so glad you took the time to acknowledge the butt shot because I feel like they never get the credit that they deserve

I think the line between personal inspiration and self insertion is a bit more obvious than you think. It's all about how much a person takes from their own lives.

His Justice League episode made me really like that when he had to step up to the plate he could be a great hero.

Say, theres three definitions. 1) yeet skeet 2) shooting clay pigeons 3) well look it up

My favorite Booster was Blue and Gold, 80's Justice league.

I didn’t know what “skeets” meant- other than the sport/hobby of clay pigeon shooting, called “skeet shooting”. Well, it turns out the slang term also involves “shooting”...of a type...just...not with shotguns... You know what, I actually preferred being in the dark on the matter haha. I love the Skeets character in the DC animated shows ‘Justice League Unlimited’, and ‘Batman: The Brave and The Bold’; Billy West does a great job in the role, and really makes you love the character. More Booster Gold content would be superb. I only recently found ‘Casually Comics’ (though I’ve been a fan of Sasha on ‘Top 10 Nerd’ for a good while), but it has quickly become my favourite channel. And this video on Booster Gold is a good example of why I love the content sooooooo damn much!

Thank you Sasha

I really like the last few vids, Booster and Spider Woman (Jessica Drew) are some of my favorites that need all the love they can get!

Thr thrist is unreal this episode

Booster has had a great character arc. Great growth from money fame seeker into a true hero. Time-line tangles are his specialty!

I was introduced to Booster in the excellent tv series Justice League Unlimited(the greatest story never told). I next read him in JLI.

The floating robot looked like a clay target ask, skeet.

I'm amazed we've not had a man-belly-shirt in the MCU yet. Booster didn't say Ghostbusters because he only knows about the 2016 one.

I never read any of his solo books. But, I freaking loved JLI!

Hey look it's Green Lantern!

In the 52 series of booster gold he reveals that Superman took his cape away saying he couldn’t handle it

My favorite Booster Gold story is Justice League America 34-35.

The best authorial inserts were Morrison in Animal Man, and Gerber in the last issue for Man-Thing.

Do a Tedd Kord + Booster Gold video!

I met Booster when I was reading JLA during Bart Sears art run so Booster was hanging out with Blue Beatle so I rather dig him. They were a fun team Blue and Gold.

i love booster gold he's tons of fun but also has a heart of a good hero

Michael John Carter is my favorite

Poor Buster. No one ever asks for him. And very few want him. And even fewer know who he is. Buster Gold . The once and Future meme 😂

They drew him very lovingly!

Booster got significantly better as time went by.
