death of the endless is not a representation of death she is death so necron, the black flash, the black racer represent the concept of death so there like avatars of death where as death of the endless is the very concept of death and not a representation or avatar but the source. It's like a green lantern and there ring the green lantern channels the power of the ring but they themselves don't have the actual power the ring does, death of the endless is like the ring and necron, black flash, black racer are like the people who channel the power of death. I Love you Videos Rob hope this comment helped

Their white lantern suits were awesome

Anyone else listen to these videos while they go to bed?

You should make a video about Jonah Hex, his former Black Lantern status and why he is not one due to time travel. The only movie about him covered nothing save for a backstory about his looks and the fact that he has a way to talk to the dead and dying.

That death scene of Kyle's girlfriend hurt my heart.

Death of the endless isn't an embodiment of death but she is death. Nekron is the death aspect of the emotional spectrum so he's an embodiment of death like "the black racer" is death for the new gods and is also an embodiment of death. The stories about Nekron never says that he is death only an embodiment while the stories about death of the endless says that she is the concept of death or some anthropomorphic version of death. That's just my theory

I am excited for Brightest Day! Swamp Thing needs more time in the limelight.

Amazing story coverage, it's been a great experience, thank you 🙏🏾

I think I'm going to rewatch all of the blackest nights videos at least 5 more times cuz it's so AMAZING

bittersweet to have blackest night end as it was what made me discover your channel, good job Rob!

This has been one of the best run of comics story you have ever done! Just as you promised just in time for helloween!! 🎃 Blackest Night! Wow!

This is as exciting as that time Rob came into my room, slapped me across the face, said "No one will believe you", and then backflipped out the window.

Blackest Night retconned Superman's "Kryptonian Hibernation." Glad it did and hope they acknowledge it when they mention his death.

Thanks for not leaving at a cliffhanger for a week

cool story bro;) I like how you explained this..It gave me a better sense of relate-ability with kyle rayor and the emotional spectrum! I mean all that in all seriousness, though I am stoked for you to get back to non thor/lantern stories/batman. Please! More Spidey, deadpool, xmen, etc. Dont get me wrong Rob, I have love for all you do!

Man it's 4:24 am here... And me listening rob.... brightest day it's gonna be now

Rob is the entity of the rob core tbh

DC: "Continuity?! Pffft Aint nobody got time fo dat!!!!:

Thank you Rob and the team at @comicsexplained. I look forward to watching your videos everyday after coming home from work

Hey, Rob! Just saw The New Super-Man blowing up on reddit due to a great candid pic of a cosplayer dressed as the character with an Asian boy walking up to him (it would appear to me with interest!). A lot of people are there saying good stuff about the character, so I'd be interest in a couple of videos on him! Keep rocking, Rob!

I feel like Death of the Endless serves a different function than Nekron. He's a malevolent reaper whilst death is more the ferryman.

Doomsday gets a red lantern ring BOOM

11:05 the love entity doesn’t look very loving

God I love blackest night so much. My first week working at a comic shop years back saw me buy all the hardback copies

I thought you were just gonna leave us, with that Sinestro cliffhanger. You always do this to us.

Great job Rob! I am not a comic book person but I basically watched most of the videos from this series.

One of the best DC events in recent history, if not the entire history of DC.

Nekron is not really the Entity of Death, he is the Entity of Nothing. The universe was at first nothing but darkness, then white light entered it, and the universe was only white light. Then the darkness fought back, and split the light into red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. Making the universe into nothing and light, life and death.

Got a few videos without that weird jarring black screen pause before it started happening again? Anyways this was otherwise a great video! Man an event hasn't had this good of a crescendo since then, it was really intense! This whole series makes me really want a origin of Guy Gardner video though, I really don't know much about him at all.

I enjoyed every episode of this series thanks a lot Rob

Rob, I gotta say I freakin love your videos man. I know you are literally a comics guy, but I would be really interested to hear you talk about My Hero Academia, since it is inspired by Western superhero comics. Have you ever considered reading the manga?

I always wanted to know about blackest night story so thanks for doing this

funny how that image of death, she's wearing an ankh, which is a symbol of life. LOL

There is actually an explanation for Necron vs Death of the Endless actually exists. It is in a really neat Brightest Day tie in called "Superman: the Black Ring" it kinda helps set up the idea of Lex Luthor as a hero

Happy Halloween, RobCore!

Loved the whole series rob!! Great quality stuff as always! Proud member of the rob corps

Fantastic! TYSM Robster!

Apparently this is on VS Battle Wiki under Nekron's Page: "According to one writer Nekron is another aspect of Death of the Endless representing "Death as the Ultimate Opponent". However, this appearance was unauthorized by the character's creator, Neil Gaiman, and he strongly disagrees with this interpretation."

Can you do please do Brightest Day, you kind of got me hooked in the end.

Hey rob. Not sure if you’ve had this before but how about a Star Wars/Lantern Ring cross over. Which Star Wars characters would get which rings? My initial thoughts were:Green - Han SoloBlue - Luke SkywalkerYellow - EmperorRed - Darth VaderOrange - Jubba the HuttIndigo - yoda Pink - LeiaBlack - Death StarWhite - obiwanThoughts?

Thanks rob for doing blackest night

Can't wait for Brightest Day brotha!!

This was amazing and I hope a lot of this is adapted into the GL movie that DC Films is making

Necron is the "embodiment" of death, the endless death she is death, necron is the embodiment of her. Well one half of her, she life too

I loved this series bud keep doing what you're doing and you can be sure we'll keep watching. Peace!!!

thank you Rob for Blackest Night

honestly, I think is basically that necron is basically the lack of emotion and making it death is a bit more interesting and probably them taking creative liberty with the concept, and a corpse doesn't really feel anything so kinda makes sense

Faust explain death pretty well Rob, death of the endless is death itself, necron and the black racer are just representations of death

Happy Halloween rob corps!

Just gotta say Rob, that new KZfaq banner is AMAZING

@Comics Explained could you do videos on who could use the power stone and/or the infinity gauntlet. I think it would be awesome to see who could use that much power besides Thanos it would be so cool to see all the DC and marvel charters who could handle so much power thank you

Great job rob. You did great on that series. Can't wait to see what u do next. Rob Corp Unite!!!!

I really love your page man. Congrats on everything bro #RobCore

i know im late but could u keep doing that skip to time stamp in your videos. its really good for when you know the backstory already. thanks rob.

The emotional entities are DCs versions of the Tailed Beasts. Change my mind.

I have a question. It's pretty well known that Geoff Johns' GL run was, for the most part, left intact after the start of the New 52, including the Blackest Night. It's even referenced in one of the New 52 GL story arcs. We are told that the Anti-Monitor plays an important role in Black Night. My question is, why don't the heroes remember that they've dealt with the Anti-Monitor before during Darkseid War?

I feel like its more similar to how Sandman Overture explains the different aspects of Dream of the Endless, where all the different aspects consider themselves one being, but different points of views of it, but ultimately they are all one entity operating in different realities.

Most of the knowledge and lore I have got from you man so thank you for making content of this nature your a legend

I would argue that the difference between Death of the Endless and Necron is similar to the difference between Marvel's cosmic entities which can represent any and every aspect like death but still be involved with the universe, multiverse, and all known existence (Death of the Endless), and the Beyonders that represent a kind of non-existence beyond the universe, multiverse, all known creation, a darkness that lies beyond all this (Necron).

I WAS WAITING FOR THIS!!!

Good job Rob, thumbs up.

Well, Nekron is, as you said the LIVING embodiment of death. Death of the Endless IS death.

I loved this so much. Thank you, Rob!

holly cow Rob! I can't even begin to tell you how excited I was for this video! I think your exeplaination blackest night is your best work yet! would you consider having your editor turn it in to one long video like you have for civil war? I know that sounds like a daunting task but man if I have one beef with your channel it is that I have to hunt and hunt for the videos of yours I want to see again and I don't want this to be one of those. thanks to you I have silver surfer requiem on order. and man I never really got down on superior Spiderman or any Spiderman for that matter until you turned me on to it! now those videos are hard to find. So please let beautiful playlists such as this one shine. also batman the merciless.. just saying it might be worth a look see.

You were expecting someone else, but it was me Sinestro!

Happy Halloween Rob Corp

My Favorite Lantern Corps: Black, Red, Yellow, & White.

Happy Halloween 🦇 🎃

I hope Rob does the Boston Brand Tie-in cuz' i think is a major piece in the brightest day event

I love every book with the endless.....can u do some sandman or Destiny stories?

Rob, I really wish you'd add a link to the previous video in the series to the description. And then update the description with a link to the next video, when it comes out.

You were expecting Dio but it was me, Sinestro!

what's the deal with that thing with like kyle surrounded by the body of major force?

Happy Halloween Rob Corps!!!

Still inferior to the Rob Corps though

Red lantern, Green latern, Blue lantern, Yellow, Violet... by your power combined I AM CAPTAIN PLANET!

apparently don and dawn have both been dove, don being the male and dawn being the female and main version, and from what I found her light energy is just said to be a corrosive light energy that she learned to be able to use over several battles, not apparently having it originaly

I would LOVE to see you cover the sandman series

In Sandman Vol.4, it is discussed that Dream is an aspect of Dream, and he would succeed himself, as a new aspect of Dream, should he die. Furthermore, Dream is introduced with several individuals who hold pieces of himself inside them, and Dream has even imbued objects with parts of himself. On top of this, every part of the Dreaming, including the creatures in it, are made of Dream, and are therefore parts of his whole. Death functions the same way. The Black Racer, Nekron, and whoever else embodies death are simply aspects of a greater whole. That greater whole is represented in its entirety by the singular aspect, Death of the Endless. Given the implication that the Endless can die, and given the very real threat Lucifer makes toward Death, it can be surmised Death can die... but a new aspect would replace her, and as the entirety of death, it would ultimately still be her; just a bit different, as with Dream. The Black Racer seems like a specific aspect of Death, associated with speedsters. Nekron is the specific aspect of death associated with the emotional electromagnetic spectrum. Death of the Endless is both of these, and so much more, represented in whole.

An amazing series, Great coverage, Happy Halloween!

I'm sorry you were getting burned out, but it was a wild ride man. I want to see more of the individuals who got their own rings from the corp leaders. Red Lantern MERA! Do a run down on them or something. When's the last time you did a run down?

#NotificationSquad #RobCorps In the voice of Stinkmeaner, "I'm BAAACK NIKKUH!!!"

Death of the Endless IS Death. Not a concept or aspect. Humans can perceive only aspects of the Endless themselves, but avatars or embodiments of the effects are totally different.

I can't wait until War of The Green Lantern Corps! Guy Gardner is so f*cking cool in that story!

Nekron preceded having debuted in 81... also not a Geoff Johns creation.

A little bit of a stumble at the outdo there but hey nice summarization overall dude thanks

I love these videos, but I’m curious: has anyone tried playing a drinking game where you have to drink every time Rob says “the idea is...”? I’m pretty sure you’d black out within the span of three videos, but I’m very curious to try.

Great vid and series. Blackest Night and Brightest Day are both good. I just have to ask, how is Deadman alive? He's Deadman still, right?

Happy Halloween Rob Corps!

Yay I loved every vid rob!!!

Nice vid dude

Dc titans gives a nice bit of backstory for hawk and dove

What's in the fridge? Oh.. come on....what's in the fridge?!?

wow, I never knew that was the point of Blackest Night. Awesomeness

Drink every time Rob says “foul sinsetro” smashed 3 min in.

I hope we get some more dark night metal soon with the batman god of war

About the "Death thing," there's usually 2 ways it goes in fiction like this... One, there's a high entity or concept that is the thing itself. Death, Life, Creation, Destruction... and that "Force" creates different aspects of itself for different cultures and reasons. Therefore in the DC universe, there's "Death" as a force, but it takes the form of a goth girl in the Endless, the Black Racer, Nekron, etc. Two, Death is again a Force, but creates different "agents" to work on its behalf. Meaning Death in the Endless and Nekron are both different entities with entirely different consciousnesses and wills. Honestly, though, I'm of the mind neither of these hold true for the DC universe though. I don't think I've ever seen *proven* high-concept forces without a doubt in the DC universe. For example, in Marvel, we have seen such things (Death, Eternity) and their actual effects on their portfolios. We've seen Death "flee" and thus, as a result, *no one could die.* I could be wrong, but we've never seen such things in the DC universe and have no proof that these entities claim to be is necessarily true. Another reason is simply put, these entities should be all-powerful and necessary forces in their own spheres and portfolios with necessary motivations, yet are routinely defeated. Frankly, if "Death" (the big D) wants you dead, you die. Why did Nekron fail? Why did he need to exist? Was there some bunch of Green Lanterns that were leading unnaturally long lives? Why does the Black Racer exist? Were speedsters thwarting the natural death of millions with their powers? No? This is why I don't think any of these beings are actually "Death" or Death's agents or aspects. I think Death of the Endless is merely just the equivalent of an old god. A personification of early man's superstitions given form through thought. A very powerful singular entity for certain, but not a pervasive force or high concept entity. Nekron and the Black Racer though seem more like pretenders to the throne. Beings from elsewhere who were probably mortal once and certainly have power, but definitely not the avatar of universal function they're feared to be. But yeah, we all know it all comes down to poor writing and not hashing out the rules of your setting and doing things "just because they sound cool at the time" rather than thinking it out.

Black Lantern Justice League? OH CRAP!!! White Lantern Justice League? HECK YES!!!!

Hawk and Dove came out during the 60's. It was DC's way of cashing in on the counter-culture of the time.

Have you thought of doing a video on Ion of the Green Lantern Corps and its relatives?
