Pantone 448c lanterns coming soon
They are just indians

They're too scared of doing a chartreuse corps

Isnt chartreuse a kind of cheese ?

Na it's a type of booze

Both are french I assume

What makes you think there's only 2 rings in the corps?
>>

Let's not pretend like these aren't specifically unique one-offs instead of part of the regular spectrum like the rest.
>>
>>155890995
Agree,at best ultraviolet and sorrow could return.
And is not like they used the Indigo much, and Blue was just 1 guy for years
>>
GLC added another johns morrisson lore bit and expanded today.

And is carol ferris related as hal jordan related too

Thought the nigger was an orange lantern at first, was amused

So if someone use 5 or more ring "he" activates the power of gayness?.

Stfu, fag

Remember when everyone somehow gaslit themselves into thinking Bendis's Gold Lantern was powered by happiness?
>>
why haven't they come up with Brown Lanterns which are just a combination of two lanterns colors
>Red and green
spite, having so much anger and willpower that you'll never give up
>Blue and orange
wishfulness, hoping to want more in life
>Yellow and purple
haven't come up with one
>>
>>155891192
That would be kinda retarded.
>>
>>155891090
Mauve is now the real Happiness Lantern
>>
>>155891223
True, but also a fucking joke from a Lobo story.
Also, if it happened during Lobo's childhood, he would technically predate every other Corps except for the Greens.
I really doubt we're supposed to take it seriously, and it was just a joke character in a joke story.
Less "we're setting up the MAUVE LANTERNS in the DC Universe" and more "wouldn't it be silly if there was a happiness lantern and lobo met one?".

The problems start from the top.

>Green is powered by Willpower.
Okay, makes sense to me. Powers being fuelled by willpower is nothing new and it doesn't take a stretch of the imagination to accept, even if the "technology" behind the ring is fairytale woo-woo nonsense.
>Green is part of the "emotional spectrum".
Of course I get the idea here, but this immediately causes an issue: Willpower is not an emotion. People have tried to justify this as willpower representing the ability to control your emotions, but that's an issue in and of itself. It still wouldn't put it on the emotional spectrum, and it implies Green has power over the other colors.
>Yellow is powered by Fear
Fear-based powers are nothing new either and are a classic villain motif, but again, problems arise almost immediately. First, if Green is powered by the willpower of its wielder, that implies Yellow is powered by the fear of its wielder. But we know that's not the case: Yellow Lanterns aren't a collective of massive cowards. Rather, they are selected for their ability to INSPIRE fear. So the Yellow rings are powered by the fear of their victims, which complicates things in multiple ways to the point of not making any sense at all.
If these were standalone cases, just two different rings doing different things in different ways, you could still justify everything. But by making both part of the same "emotional spectrum" it all starts falling apart. It's not any individual color that's the issue, it's the idea that they're all the same and part of a defined spectrum of powers. It only got worse over time because the more things you add onto a nonsense system, the more obvious it becomes that it is indeed nonsense.
Having the rings be powered by sapient "entities" like Parallax was also a mistake because it adds nothing meaningful except pointless complications. It was just a lazy way to "redeem" Hal after he went nutzo, but it caused permanent damage to the entire canon.

They literally announced today that red spectrum was born out of the first murder, as blue from the first prayer to God.

You forgot Omega, Volthoom/Power, Radio and whatever the fuck Dawnbreaker was.
>>
>>155890020
>'sapphire' that is pink
it's actually violet.
>>
>>155891090
Honestly, it was EVS who made me think it was legit though I think maybe it was on DC wiki
>>
>>155890020
The fractured spectrum doesn't exist anymore, it was only meant to be temporary
>>
>>155890344
It's also an alcohol and a cat breed.

Octarine Lantern when?

>Having the rings be powered by sapient "entities" like Parallax was also a mistake because it adds nothing meaningful except pointless complications
I agree with you on this point alone.
>>
>>155890020
Like the bat-family, it needs some serious culling. green, yellow, and red can stay, with blue maybe remaining if it’s presented as ultra-rare. The rest are just gimmicks that shouldn’t be taken seriously.
>>
>>155893424
And like the Bat-Family, you faggots complain about it like they're the main focus of every book even though once Johns left, all Corps that weren't Green and Yellow immediately stopped being relevant.
Red and Orange kept making sporadic appearances, but once Blue, Violet, and Indigo served their narrative purposes during the Johns era, they pretty much disappeared.

>>155890020

Lanterns are highly satanic because Satan takes the form of an angel of light

Genesis 1:3.

>>155890020
Phantom as a concept is cool. How it was implemented was terrible. You have access to all the good unique ring powers but all the pitfalls of all the corrupting rings layered in. The ideal wielder is someone in complete control of their emotions. Making the wielder bi-polar was stupid though.
>>
>>155890995
Wait, is Grey even a real thing? I thought it was a online meme.

>brown lanterns as combination of two colors
Meh i feel like it loses some of the appeal of the original corps. And we already have razer as a mix of two different colors.
>>
>>155894796
To be fair, we've had double Lanterns before in the comics, like Guy as Red and Sapphire/Green, and Hal as Green/Blue.
>>
>>155894662
Kinda but also not really.
Basically Hal cucked this one guy so hard that he became depressed and became a Sadness Lantern, they went out of their way to say that it was an anomaly and not part of the spectrum.
He's dead now.

Yes, the emotional spectrum of Non-redeeming.

>>155894870
Unfortunate, I am actually interested in how a gray lantern corps powered by apathy would function
>>
>>155891838
>First murder
So, what, Cain and Abel? Because Cain killed out of jealousy, not rage. If anything it should be avarice that was created then
>>
>>155892964
It was the lesser devil for the paradox(Hal) and predator(Carol) character assassination
>>
>>155893937
Agree.Blue had a big culling killing most of his members, a Big part of post johns was first the corps training, then Hal being a fugitive and Morrison shit.
Never got that.
