No not the HBO show, I want to talk about actual Lantern stuff. Comics, the cartoon (which I unfortunately never checked out), the emotional spectrum, all of it. From Alan Scott to Jessica Cruz, what Green Lanterns do you enjoy reading/seeing? What are some of your favorite background alien GLs (or other corps members)?How is the current run? I sort of dropped off around when the Galactic Government run by shapeshifters used the source lantern and all the corps formed one organization.
>>155208264>which I unfortunately never checked outYou should, it's pretty good.
I'm really enjoying the HBO show.
>>155208362Honest question; how and why? I hate mystery box formats, and it feels like they throw comic stuff at the fans begrudgingly just to try and keep them around.
Don't mind me just the best green lantern passing by.Also this is a geoff johns board.
>>155208398Is a "surfing dracula" trope tv series?
So Lanternbros, here's a good questionWhat's a good place to start if you're completely blind
>>155208426What I like about Green Lantern comics is everyone can practically find a Lantern that clicks with them.>Hal, the hotshot who can sometimes be a goof but has a will like no other>John, the stick up his ass by the book guy who has his moments to cut loose/get creative>Guy, the brash but lovable tough guy>Kyle, the artist (okay he's my least favorite)>Jess, the nervous yet adorable nerd doing her bestSimon is......Well he likes cars
>>155208448You LIKE Surf Dracula format?
>>155208264>How is the current run?Kyle humiliation ritual.
>>155208688How so?
>>155208264The comics suck. Never bothered with the rest.
>>155208264The only Green Lantern I ever read was Tangent and Green Lantern Dark and I kind of really enjoyed it. Tangent is basically Green Lantern Tales from the Crypt and Elvira where she revives people from the dead to settle their spirits so they can lass on. Dark is like a drunk bitch in a dark fantasy zombie apocalypse set after Tangent played straight. I really liked the dark fantasy/magic angle in all of this.I have been meaning to read real Green Lantern stuff but I haven't had time yet.
>>155208812Wait I forgot I read the Planet of the Apes crossover. It was kind of weird.
>>155208448It's not. We got the suit and space in the second episode.
>>155208843the guy is a good actor, but that is not Hal Jordan.
Is the cartoon any good?
>>155208949Yes, very much, it's one of the quintessential GL medias.
>>155208989Thanks I'll try it. I wish I had more to add to this thread.
>>155208989>quintessential GL medias.What are the others?
>>155208949>>155208989>>155209006Is there anywhere to stream it? Or does one have to buy and/or find a place to download it to watch it?
>>155209104You're in luck, it's gonna be on Tubi, September 1 if you can wait.
>>155209138The hero we needed, thanks, anon!
>>155208264Has anyone seen the HBO show?
>>155209016My recommended reading list (I'll put some stuff as optional if you dont want to read TONS, but its all so worth it for the payoff):Emerald DawnEmerald TwilightZero Hour: Crisis in TimeFinal NightGreen Arrow Quiver (very optional)Green Lantern RebirthFollowed by the rest of Geoff Johns's GL run and the Green Lanter Corps book that was running along side it (sorry dont recall who was writing). But if you dont want to read the whole thing, at least read:Sinestro Corps WarMaybe go to Blackest Night but you'll miss a bunch of stuff if you dont read what's in between. Animated Movies: GL First FlightGL Emerald WarriorsShows:GL Animated ShowJustice League + JL Unlimited - John Stewart (per usual) is a boring ass stick in the mud. But the rest of the show is so great its fine, and there are some GL centered episodes in there that are great.
>>155209173>>155208362
>>155208843Yeah but let's be real, he's hardly going to wear it. They even admit this was a last minute addition
>>155208264The only GL comics I've enjoyed so far are the three short comics by Alan Moore and Darwyn Cooke's New Frontier. I didn't like the Silver Age stuff by Broome, GL/GA by O'Neil, Johns' run, Adams' run, or Ewing's Absolute run.
>>155208398Doesn’t feel mystery boxThey have answers planned
>>155209496>I didn't like the Silver Age stuff by Broome, GL/GA by O'Neil, Johns' run, Adams' run, or Ewing's Absolute run.Why would you read so much GL if you didnt like it? Or did you only sample those runs and then drop them (nothing wrong with that btw, just wondering)?
>>155209588You don't know what that term means, do you?
>My uncle was a cop. 30 years on the coast city police force, used to let me cave in nigger skulls with his baton, nice guy.
I think we can all agree that when a Lantern starts reciting the oath, everyone gets excited. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/g2_kPP5X8w4?feature=share>>155209752First Flight is the best Lantern movie
>>155209745You don’t know
>>155209786Oh so you're just being a shitposting dipshit trying to shill, I get it. You're using the term wrong
>>155209775>First Flight is the best Lantern movieStop pushing this shit. I just watched it, and it's boring as shit. Emerald Knights is leaps and bounds over it. Hell, you constantly lying about it is making me like the awful Reynolds film more than it just out of spite.
>>155209588What? It is a mystery box. The problem is that retards like Mauler and Drinker have pushed that term to its breaking point. JJ Abrams isn't bad because he withholds information. He's bad because he doesn't have the information he's withholding planned out. This leads to unsatisfactory answers.
>>155209288>GL Emerald WarriorsWhat is this? I saw Emerald Knights.
>>155208398>respects the source material and takes it seriously>absolutely intriguing mysteries>fantastic acting>fun tone>promise of guy gardnerIt's just a well made show.
>>155210087Sorry about that, thats what I meant. Was writing it all off of memory.
>>155209775I always found it funny at how the green lantern oath rhymes. When the guardians "wrote" the oath in their alien language, did they purposely make it rhyme and made sure that it kept the rhyming across all alien languages? Or is it just a coincidence that it rhymes in english?
>>155208264They can't help themself and now they are shoehorning a literal niggerfaggotGL will never be as good as the Geoff Johns run. They won't allow it.
>>155209647I read several issues (4 to 10) of each except Johns' run, which I read through the end of Sinestro Corps War. I was giving them a chance, but I never warmed up to them.
>>155208528You forgot JoThat somehow makes it even more funny
>>155208264You know it'd be so easy to just make a blue lantern hero for earthIt's literally a humanitarian Corp in space. You can make it so easy to just plop one down somewhere
>>155210127
MMMMM WHATCHA SAY
>>155211037>ask what i like>get upset when i tell you
>>155208264What about the HBO show?
>>155208797His new suit fucking SUCKS.
>>155208880That's also how Morrison feels.
>>155208398>I hate mystery box formatsEp1 feels like a mystery box, but Ep 2 basically laid out the entire plot. Its just some details and specifics and twists left as we go through the rest of the show now. Showing how we get from 2016 to 2026 (and I think even that is pretty obvious from ep2's exposition dump).
Gonna post these covers I like.
And that's it so far.
>>155213024The entire mystery is how Hal died.
I sometimes come across people saying they hate Hal (in general). Is there a reason for this?
>>155214086Racism.
>>155214086It depends, but I think the main one is the same reason a lot of people hate Barry.Basically thinking that he's an outdated character, he's had his time, and should've just remained dead.
Shame rebirth didin't get us that storyarc promised about barry teaching jessica to be a superhero.
Daily Rick Remender that:during green lantern geoff johns run: green lantenr and green lantenr coprs by tomasi were as hyped and desires as grant morrison batman and bendis new avengers (that was the peak for those authors for morrison and for bendis)0day in forums and mainframe and comichubs were so packed those days.
Me enjoying GL Rebirth comic I bought on a whim, and /co/ talking about Blackest Night when it was coming out, were the spark that got me trying to read more ongoing comicbooks.I'm miles behind on current DC besides the occassional Absolute versions I've bewn reading with friends.
>>155208489Green Lantern: Rebirth and then Green lantern by Geoff Johns and Green Lantern Corps. It's pretty straightforward modernised story
>>155208489This >>155209288 is my recommendation. You can know NOTHING about GL and start pick it up from there.
>>155209288
>>155210055First Flight also has a glaring plothole since it's been shown that the rings can " record" things and play it back as a hologram, so Sinestro wouldn't have been able to frame Hal for Kanjar Ro's death. They even did this in Emerald Knights, lol
>>155210055I agree, Emerald Knights is better green lanter n film
These reading lists are terrible.
>>155213888UnbelievableThey made Jo cute, what the fuck.Man, she would really look better if they dropped the pompodour. That middle one is just so fucking good.Anyway, how is Absolute GL doing?
I like Baz.
>>155211017The only thing anyone remembers about that worthless dyke is having the stupidest haircut in all of comics.
>>155216135I hate her so much. Far Sector was suuuuuuuch a fucking shitty comic. And she is so pushed in Absolute and she's kind of a shit person, blaming her X for having cheated on said X. Take some fucking responsibility you fuck, at most its both of your faults. Also, everyone forgot Teen lantern bc she is even more dogshit, somehow.
DC HIRE THIS MAN
I asked AI for some good gritty GL books and it suggested me Absolute, Earth One, Far Sector and Dark. I may get infinity again because I'm not buying floppies or phone books in 2026.
How come Kyle doesn't seem to be as popular among fans as he used to be? I know nobody currently knows what to do with him, but it bugs me its gotten to the point people are treating him as if he were always poorly written. >>155216825>Letting AI shill books to you.Anon, no. The only decent one on that list is Green Lantern Dark.
>>155216825>Far SectorThis book is trash. Waste your time with it if you want, but it was clear the author didnt know much about GL other than glancing at a wiki article really quick before writing a whole book about it. I would recommend looking at the number of reading lists posted above.
Is Beware My Power really as bad as everyone says?
>>155216967The curse of "DC's Spider-Man".
>>155208426Nah, the run is pretty shit. I remember liking Corps, though, it sucks that the only way to get it right now is either in the big compendiums that have all the other Johns trash, or in omnis. I wish they had good collections of just the Corps stuff.
>>155217017I dont think its the worst thing ever, in fact a lot of stuff deals with some fun out space conflicts. The problem is that they shit ALL OVER Hal and suck John's dick. Also, the Sinestro design is terrible.
>>155217163Lyssa Drak was bangin' though
>>155208489am I the only guy who thinks John Broome is a perfect starting point?pick of the dc finests.
>>155218696would
I've binged 145 issues of GL 1961, ask me anything
>>155215787>how is Absolute GL doing?I've seen less people considering it the worst Absolute title.
>>155218974rank green lantern villains from 1 to 35.
>>155218974What are your thoughts on the characters?
>>155210055>Different opinion=lyingYou're what's wrong with the world, faggot
>>155211017Should I read Far Sector?
>>155221031No, First Flight is OBJECTIVELY not a good film.
Personally I'm just glad to see GL back in the spotlight even though I didn't think the Ryan Reynold's flick was half as bad as everyone said it isI'd kind of like to see more done with Alan honestly, he's always been my favorite "legacy" hero next to Jay>>155208426I like Johns' run, if not purely for the implementation of the emotional spectrum and what spawned out of that>>155208528>Kyle, the artist (okay he's my least favorite)Kyle's run is pretty rocky and I almost kind of lost interest in the book (mainly due to all the tie-ins) but coaxed myself to continue and honestly, it's probably fantastic in my opinion>>155209496>>155217944Silver Age GL had so much potential to be an amazing books because it has so many glimmers of great and genuinely interesting science fiction concepts, but more than half of it is Hal running around stopping petty thugsAlso am I the only one who legit detests O'Neil's run? I just utterly hated his characterization of Hal as a bumbling idiot so much that I couldn't be bothered to read any more
>>155221453>Also am I the only one who legit detests O'Neil's run? I just utterly hated his characterization of Hal as a bumbling idiot so much that I couldn't be bothered to read any moreLanterns' biggest defenders point to O'Neil's run as evidence that Green Lantern is supposed to be lame and boring and low level. And given that the high viewer count hasn't actually translated to more sales, expect more people to repeat how important O'Neil's run was.
>>155221533>people who've never read comic books point to the worst possible version as the character's defining moment (i.e. King's Adam Strange and Mr. Miracle)Legit makes me wish they'd actually followed something more daring like Morrison's run. Wasn't perfect, but it was more faithful to the spirit of the book than Hard Travelin' Heroes
>>155208264Sure. Ive been reading the silver age runs of Green Lantern, Flash and Justice League, and GL is definitely the least bad one, and i do like how theres actually world building in It. The JL on the other hand is awful, and its funny how Hal's ring can do literally, and I mean literally anything. I guess Gardner Fox never bothered to learn how his powers actually work. On that note, whats the consensus on the Dennis Oneil run? I'm looking forward to reading it since I bought the Absolute hardcover.
>>155210944Dont know if thats how it is today but originally Hal came up with the Oath on his own.
>>155221706I think my favorite one is where Hal turns himself into a robot to breathe the toxic air of some villain's hideout. I legit like Silver Age Flash, it has a bit more character than most of DC's output at the time where most of the MCs were white bread as hell with little personality beyond being able to do incredible thingsThat being said, I'm this poster here>>155221453>>155221616and really DO NOT like O'Neil's run at all
>>155221706>On that note, whats the consensus on the Dennis Oneil run? I'm looking forward to reading it since I bought the Absolute hardcover.To DC Comics, O'Neil's and Neal Adams' run, what is Hard Travelin' Heroes, was a watershed moment in comics for tackling real-world issues like racism and drug addiction. But they never make mention of O'Neil's run AFTER HTH because HTH was a flop run and they dump the social issues aspect to actually have Hal Jordan do shit in outer space. Because it's Denny O'Neil, the man who basically made Batman what he is now, they treat it as important to the GL mythos as Johns' run, which is a load of shit because what made Johns' run so good was that it powerwashed the stank of O'Neil and Adams' run off Hal. To people who have never read Green Lantern, they treat it like it was a watershed moment in comics for tackling real-world issues like racism and drug addiction and use it as a defense of having Lanterns taking a fat shit on the premise of Green Lantern.To people who actually read Green Lantern, O'Neil's run is known as being really dogshit since Hal Jordan is turned into a bumbling, socially unaware conservative stand-in who has to get corrected by the cooler, loudly liberal Green Arrow, with pic in particular being the triumph of what Denny and Adams set out to do.
>>155222646Retard.
>>155222710Lmao that was written by a fan of Denny's run.
I enjoy watching Regime Hal slowly lose the will to live.
>>155222728That is from fucking Jim Owsley's run in Action Comics. Thats not fan fiction, you fucking LARPer.
>>155221453>Silver Age GLI agree. Though it has a certain Silver Age charm to it. Also it's funny to me that as much as it's considered a herald of the Silver Age alongside Flash, it's the title that most closely follows the original formula (fighting common thugs, getting knocked out for drama.)>Kyle's run is pretty rocky and I almost kind of lost interest in the book (mainly due to all the tie-ins) but coaxed myself to continue and honestly, it's probably fantastic in my opinionI'm admittedly biased, but I'm glad you stuck through it and gave it an honest shot. Though personally I feel the post-Ion issues were harder to get through than the tie-ins. At least when the tie-ins focused on fun interactions between Kyle and other characters.>Also am I the only one who legit detests O'Neil's run?You're definitely not alone there. For all it's historical importance, it's painfully clear O'Neil was much more comfortable writing Ollie and street level dramas than Hal and his sci-fi adventures.
>>155222923That's from Gerard Jones' run on vol. 3. Point still stands though.
I will die on this hill, but making all the different color lanterns beyond yellow and green was a mistake and dumb.
>>155221453>Kyle's run is pretty rocky and I almost kind of lost interest in the book (mainly due to all the tie-ins) but coaxed myself to continue and honestly, it's probably fantastic in my opinionAt first you read it and realize the Ron Marz run is actually pretty good.Then you read it a second time with new Green Lantern knowledge and realize, actually, there is something seriously off about the Ron Marz run.Then after reading it a third time with even more Green Lantern knowledge, you realize the Ron Marz run got kneecapped by the same editorial that fumbled Green Lantern during the first half of the 90s, and that the potential for peak was there before they snuffed it out.
>>155223030It would had been fine if those other Lanterns also didn't have an entire Corps behind them. The Lanterns reducing DC Cosmic to a bunch of Rainbow Lanterns cheapen DC Cosmic and ultimately cheapen the the Green Lantern brand.
>>155223061>The Lanterns reducing DC Cosmic to a bunch of Rainbow Lanterns cheapen DC CosmicDC cheapened DC Cosmic by never producing anything on the level of the Rainbow Lanterns before or after it.
>>155223061They also suffer from not having an identity. Green Lanterns are "space cops" they do "space cops" things. What the heck is the point of Orange Lanterns? or the Blue ones? what do they do? Why do they exist?
Is there anything post o'neil and pre-crisis worth reading?
>>155222992>sinestro got to fuck that
>>155223316I enjoyed the Grant Morrison series.
>>155223316The Lein Wein/Dave Gibbons era of Green Lantern is pretty good. Dave Gibbons would contribute to a lot of Green Lantern during the Johns era.
I really like Sinestro
>>155222978This >>155222710 is Owsley.
What corps would (You) join?Or what corps are you mist likely to end up on
>>155208880He would feel more Hal if he wasn't fucking ancient.
>>155223771I think I'm capable of several emotions so really I don't know. The ring chooses anyway. Although I'd probably end up on the Sinestro Corp due to anxiety
>>155223132Blue Lanterns have the role of space chaplains in addition to being limiter removers for Greens. Star Sapphires are space counselors. Orange is The One Ring in space. Indigo are the space rehabilitation crew. Honestly, the only ones who don't really have a place anymore are Red, who are basically edgier versions of the Sinestro Corps now.>>155223660I looked it up and it specifically isn't:https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Green_Lantern_Vol_3_29I'd welcome being shown we're both wrong though.
>>155224167You're right. I remembered it being posted in the Owsley storytime, and that's why I associated it. https://desuarchive.org/co/thread/153504927/#153507161
>>155223540He's one of DC's best villains for sure.
>>155223030Agreed.
>>155223421That isn't precrisis, anon.
>>155208264there's an hbo show about this character
>>155223540Him projecting himself as a green lantern to stop Hal from merging with the white light, proceeding to do it himself (in his old green lantern outfit) and then declaring himself the savior of the universe is kinda sad.Johns seemed to write him as a misguided anti-villain that wanted love and truth.
>>155213964Soranik my beloved.
>>155208264Reign of the Supermen/ Emerald TwilightGreen Lantern RebirthSinestro CorpsRage of Red/ War of LightBlackest Night/ Brightest DayThis is the main GL thing, aftwards can do Morrison's stuff or elseworlds or others.Also it is great to listen to Pendulum while reading them.
>>155214251Barry really is a continuity parasite, though. There's no excuse for why Barry is taking up panel space in fucking 2026.
>>155226555It's a good thing he hasn't really had any comics actually about him in like a few years now.He's effectively retired for now, even Jay gets more use.
>>155225663Is it good?
>>155226555I like INJUSTICE Barry. Spending his post-pardon days being Mitch's Physical Therapist was incredibly sweet.
>>155208362Same, is nice
Thanks to green lantern books in 2006-2010 during 2011-2016 we got 4 lanterns ongoings.
>>155227993Whoa.
>>155222710This guy should have made the new HBO show if they were going to go there lol
>>155225992Sinestro, Black Adamm and in some cases arguably Doctor Doom are anti-villains who genuinely think they're the heroes of their own stories, trying to make the world "right" by horrible means. That's what makes Sinestro complex and interesting; he believes his sins and the ends will justify the means. He lacks self-awareness that he basically turned into a space dictator for his home planet, and rationalizes that recruiting space serial killers and monsters is okay because "He's keeping them in check". Sinestro uses the yellow light of fear not just because he believes fear is an effective weapon to discourage evil/crimes, but it is also fueled by his own fears he tries so hard to hide. He fears that he is wrong, he fears failure, and he fears everything he has done will all be for nothing
How would you rank the ring designs? Which of these would you unironically wear casually/get a replica of?
Still dead huh?
>>155230530Are Bzzd and Ch'p still dead? They're some of the most fun/recognizable alien lanterns up there with Tomar-Re, Mogo, Stel, Rot Lop Fan, and Arisia
>>155208264i heard there is an hbo show about these guys
>>155208489>if you're completely blindAre there any GL audiobooks?
I can't tell if I like or hate the HBO show yet. This silly mystery box format holds the audience hostage, with no guarantee of payoff. I want to see actual Manhunters in robot form, actual Red Lantern Corp members with uniforms and alien faces. Not only that, I actually want to see Hal suit up for a fight
>>155232846>actual Red Lantern Corp members with uniformsAh, so your opinion is completely invalid.
>>155208264Best comic run for a beginner?I love the wild intergalactic adventures, the weird aliens who are allowed to be characters and the Lantern Oath always gives me goosebumps.
>>155209173YesDo not watch it for the love of your soul. If you have one, this show will kill it.
>>155211726>Lie through your teeth>Get iffend when someone calls you out
>>155232903Why is that an outrageous request?
>>155232945Amazing how went from a promise of a colorful more comic like DCU to a worse version of Snyder's films.
>>155233099I'm curious how much of this is because of the merger talks
>>155227993Red Lantern's Zero Issue might be one of my favorite "one and done" stories of all time. Love the idea of integrating cosmic horror into Lantern loreBut yeah, that many books did seem a bit needlessly excessive and I say that as someone who's deeply passionate about the franchise
>>155233022[color] lanterns are all fucking garbage, why would you want that included?
>>155233929That's certainly an opinion to have
There's a really good issue of Superman (Tomasi run) where Parallax flees from Sinestro, and tries to farm fear from children and ultimately possess Superman as a new host because it's afraid of being tormented any further by Thaal. Superman recognizes that the entity is mostly all show, trying to scare off enemies, and legit tries to get it somewhere where it can live in peace
>>155234044It's a relatively common opinion that those have, even though adding different colored Lantern Corps is arguably one of the reasons GL became almost as big as Batman and Superman for a while.
>>155234088The sample who don't realize that Hal Jordan returned for a reason...
>>155234088>No, you don't understanding, adding stupid, shitty things to the book made it really popular with people who weren't interested in the book back when you liked it, so you *have* to like it now!I'm beginning to think that Green Lantern is just something that's better in concept than execution
>>155234208Well, I think it's neat, it's one of those things I'm actually surprised wasn't introduced earlier.[Color] Lanterns definitely feels like something that would've introduced back in like the Silver Age or something.
>>155234088Atrocitus, Saint Walker, and Larfleeze are all awesome. Fuck off
>>155234455Don't look at me, I like the Rainbow Corps.
>>155234455If they work as villains, they could work without all the stupid fucking baggage of "actually, the green lantern corps isn't something unique, and there are half a dozen other lantern corps with different colors that relate to emotions! (Plz ignore that willpower isn't an emotion. I am very smart)"It's a lame as fuck idea that cheapens the GLC.
>>155208489I'd say Englehart's run. It starts in a weird place, on the tail end of another run that introduces the Predator, but it also continues through the Crisis so it's the earliest modern canon run.It introdues John as the "main" Green Lantern, has Guy and Katma being promoted from "oh yeah i forgot they exist" to major characters in the mythos.You can ignore Green Lantern Corps though, unless you want to see Hal fuck an underage girl.
>>155208797Justice League gave Major Force amnesty and Kyle's understandably pissed
>>155223540Karu-Sil my beloved
>>155230527The 2011 movie. I've always been partial to the emblem ring over the signet style, and the movie version strikes the right balance between alien aesthetics and wearable jewelry.Also I recently found out the replica of Guy Gardner's ring in Superman is totally inaccurate. Here's a pic of the actual prop for future reference.
>>155234550They all are unique. Go throw a tantrum elsewhere
>>155222710preach my bligga, preach
>>155234859>Nooo you don't get it all the magic, color coded rings that shoot beams out of them are totally unique!
>>155234659I get what the JLU is trying to do though
>>155234841Huh. Wonder if its the common "we followed the concept art" thing merch often has happen? I still kinda dig the Lanterns design because it looks like crushed emeralds, and light can refract several ways>>155234956Read a book, man
>>155232968>opinions are lies
>>155232846>This silly mystery box format holds the audience hostage, with no guarantee ofModern prestige shows are just like this because they only have a small idea that isnt long enough for an entire season. Then they stretch it out. And then it tales 2 to 3 years for a season 2 that bungles everything. TV was better even in the lost era of retarded mystery boxes than whatever is going on now. Lost and superhero comics are both soap operas fuck it
>>155235544LOST was fucking trash and legit ruined television. Damon Lindeloff was on LOST for fuck sake, and has learned nothing
>>155208528I don't know if they've used him much since I stopped reading around Rebirth, but I really like Baz despite his initial impression. He does a great job playing the straight man (at least with him and RL Guy) and how fed up he is with superhero shit. Like him carrying a gun in case the ring fails, Batman guilting him into dropping it, then the ring fucking fails and he rages. Really good contrast to Jessica, too.
>>155222646what's weird is Hal Jordan's never really been a conservative characterthey just saw military and assumed racist for some reasonbut for some reason Guy is loved even though he's a fuckin redneck
>>155236523>they just saw military and assumed racist for some reasonIt wasn't really "racist" so much as "ignorant on issues outside his sphere". He was never portrayed as being willfully malicious about it.>but for some reason Guy is loved even though he's a fuckin redneckI'm still trying to parse that myself, but people (especially women) really seem to love in-your-face types that stir shit and cause drama.
Hal Jordan is the strongest, fastest, most powerful, and most willful. Always!

>>155214428>lantenr and green lantenr coprs by tomasi were as hyped and desires>0dayDamn nigga where's the English?Second language?
>>155236523>but for some reason Guy is loved even though he's a fuckin redneckI'm gonna be honest with you. I've never liked Guy, I just found him annoying, arrogant, and a trouble makerThough if I'm being real here, I do legit enjoy him making Bruce's life a living hell
>>155238189>>155240312from what i've seen from the cartoon. he plays off of batman pretty wellso he's a lovable ass character
Red lanterns by charles soules was better than the millegan stuff.
>>155223030Yellow/Sinestro Corps was good and a logical extension of the brand.The rest just came too fast and turned the entire GL setting into a pro wrestling universe with face/heel turns and characters switching factions.
>>155214078John's dad shot himUnironically. Screenshot this for when it's revealed.
>>155211726You're way too old to still think /co/ isn't full of retards who are contrarian just for the sake of it. Dude can't even identify the reasons why you'd think that
>>155214251Hal is way more memorable as GL than Barry is as Flash. When I think GL, I think Hal, even if my favorite is Kyle. When I think Flash, I think Wally, never Barry
>>155241922Maybe but they share the "these guys represent an era long gone and should've stayed dead" complaint.
>>155242155I understand the sentiment, but I don't agree with that at all. I think it's been proven that Hal still has a lot of mileage as a character. He's reckless and sticks to his gut no matter what, he's got the redemption angle from his time as/possessed by Parallax, he's got the fish-out-of-water angle from spending more time in space than Earth, he's got pathos from longing to settle down but never being able to due to his duties and nature. It's evergreen (pun not intended), and the kind of thing that accrues interest just from him being around.Barry doesn't have that same appeal, as his main hook in the modern era is having the perfect life before Thawne ruined it out of spite. Other than guilt over his mother's death and trying to put his life back together, it hasn't done much for Barry himself even if it's boosted Thawne to the A-list of supervillains. He's a great guy, but it's hard to sell that when you already have Clark and others with more notable traits around.
they should make a mario party clone where you play as all the lantern corps
>>155236523>they just saw military and assumed racist for some reasonDenny and O'Neal really didn't give a shit; they saw Easy Rider and decided that's what they wanted to do.>but for some reason Guy is loved even though he's a fuckin redneckGuy is from Baltimore.
I haven't kept up with GL stuff in a while but Saint Walker was my favorite. Anything cool happen with him and the Blues recently?
>>155244235Not really, after Johns, all Corps that weren't Green, Yellow and sometimes Red basically faded into the background.
