At least I'm not the only one...

One page from GL Corps #49.



So in the last chapter of "War of the Green Lantern" The men 2814 utilized the power rings of the now imprisoned Corps leaders. I thought it was fairly stupid, and it would appear Ganthet agrees with me.

Wow, shocker! Hal Jordan puts the universe at risk yet again! Oh, you scamp!

[drmcninja]

Also, and forgive the double, but is Stewart running? Did he run this whole way? Wow.

[sigmund_droid]

They just look absurd.

They may get me some flak but I have to say Hal Jordan is probably my least favorite mainstream superhero by large,

[punishermax]

"Okay, so in summary, this is the dumbest fucking thing we have ever done. I about hit the nail on the head here?"

~Ollie stands in the middle of the Justice Family Room (Now with Galaga machine!). He's garbed in a Green Lantern uniform.~

"My question is why you get willpower. You don't have the willpower to not stick your dick in any human with a vagina and/or a pair of breasts. How the fuck did you get a ring that runs on the stuff? It's like giving an electric car to Robinson Curusoe."

~Dinah is wearing a Red Lantern outfit~

"How are you not vomiting blood, or bile or space acid puke everywhere? I mean, it'd be a minor improvement over you talking so I'm disappointed."

"Ollie I've been married to you. I have so much rage inside me that I can control the shit out of it. Your dick is so lucky I haven't ripped it off it needs to buy some Powerball tickets."

"Alright so I just woke up wearing blue spandex with a ring on my finger. I either married the entire Blue Man Group, in which case I'm killing myself, or something really fucking dumb happened, in which case I'm making waffles cause that means it's Thursday."

~Diana walks in wearing the Blue Lantern uniform~

~Clark slips in wearing a Blue Lantern uniform~

"So, who's going to explain the costume? Also this mask makes me look like the Lone Ranger;s poolboy. No one wants to be the Lone Ranger's poolboy."

~Hal flies in, he's wearing his Green Lantern uniform as usual~

"Hey, you guys got your rings!"

"Why am I not surprised Hal shows up after something dumb happens. It's like the guy who beats off to fires showing up at the arson or the guy who wears Invader Zim patches showing up at the Hot Topic break in"

"Okay, there was a malfunction up at Oa. The Guardians made a mistake in the emotional spectrum"

"Okay, this is getting fucking dumb. How do those little morons not piss themselves? Have they ever, EVER, not fucked something up?"

~flash cut~

"Guardian Ganthet I don't think this is a good way to rehabilitate Larfleeze."

"QUIET! Now, what is your name....?"

~A hypnotized, as indicated by the blank stare, Larfleeze stands before the Guardians. He's dressed in a short dress, with an insane wig on his head along with a bottle of vodka glued to his hand~

"My...my name is....Snookie."

~flash cut back~

"Man that explained a lot."

"Okay, so we have to go to another planet to return our Captain Planet rings because some blue idiot fucked up? Awesome, I totally had nothing else to do today."

"Also, you seemed pretty nervous when you popped in here Hal. What happ-

~Arisia bursts into the room. She's wearing the Star Sapphire uniform~

"Hal, I got the ring and the costume! Now can we make lo-"

~She's cut off when Hal nervously covers her mouth with his hand~

"Oh wow. Woooooow. Congrats on not only violating probation but also possible sending the most powerful weapons in the universe off in random directions because you don't know that fucking Adam and Eve.com exists you fucking tool. Good christ.

[lucky_gamble]

Why is the only black guy in the group dressed/looks...the most primitive?
Can someone fill me in on the clothes choice =/

[silverzeo]

... now where is Syad? The Orange Lantern Guardian? She has less panel time than Hector Hammond when he ate the Orange Lantern...

[irrelevant]

Oh jeeze...

[domino_blue]

If I don't do it someone else will...okay ready?

LANTERN SENTAI AORANGER!

[aeolos_sakya]

I so loved that panel of Ganthet. Seriously, Hal, what were you thinking?

[miramira]

I like how Guy doesn't seem all that enamored of this idea, either. Though I'm surprised Ganthet's biggest concern isn't that Hal's chosen to play Yellow Lantern. Didn't bad things happen the last time he got involved with that aspect of the spectrum?

[zenbro]

I don't know why, but I imagined the white-haired guy talking like Tim Gunn from Project Runway: "That blue ring on you...what is the visual statement here? And indigo, really? I'm just not feeling it. Wait...is that a red ring? Oh no. You're going to have to make this work."

[mommy]

I looked at this and my first thought was "Stewart is a Star Sapphire now?" and then ended up disappointed that it turned out to be an indigo ring. You know it would have been hilarious.

[misterbug]

Dammit, now I'm not going to hear Ganthet's voice as anyone other than Dustin Hoffman.

...Although the Furious Five getting power rings would be quite delicious.

[icon_uk]

Yeah, this isn't even bad, so much as it's just plain dumb...

I'm not a huge fan of the "Taste the Rainbow of Fruit Lanterns" (Bring your own context, it's too early for me here) but random ring assignment does seem like such a stupid idea. Kyle as Blue, yeah I can see that, and Guy as Red is almost cliche, but John as Compassion? Not even close (especially given their apparently sociopathic approach to compassion, "mercy killing" people who were not obviously dying)

[darkknightjrk]

It always does my heart good to see someone in the DCU call Hal out on being a fucking idiot. XD

[jlbarnett]

personally I like this. I can see John as a good candidate for Indigo. After all it's likely the designer who decided "let's force some compassion on people" much like the Star Sapphire ring's designer said "let's choose only women. Doesn't mean those who actually feel the emotion can't qualify just like doesn't mean men couldn't qualify if given the chance.

Meanwhile there's a blue ring right there to take care of the red and Guy was told he'd need the leftover red energy

[q99]

So, why's Kyle not prepared for a Blue anyway?

[crinos]

"This was foolhardy to the extreme!"

Dude...HAL JORDAN.

[mullon]

Stewart's outfit is just...so stupid. So fucking stupid looking.

[trafalgar]

Lol Hal you idiot I love you.

Biggest problem with Indigo John Stewart?

[bewareofgeek]

Indigo camo looks like PAISLEY. Add in the headband, and he looks like a hippie marine.

[shadowpsykie]

is anyone else sad no one picked the star sapphire ring?

that said, I like Kyle with the Blue Ring (notice Ganthet did not say he was not meant to wield a blue ring? he said he was not ready)

Also i think John DOES have compassion. Most soldier's do, the problem is they have to... i don't want to say limit it... their logic has to control their compassion and that makes that ring hard for John to control and possibly the wrong choice for him

[leikomgwtfbbq]

"Crayola Cavalry." XD That's awesome!

[thatnickguy]

I'm having the same reaction here as I did when they put rings on other heroes during Blackest Night:

*snort* Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!

They're serious about this?

BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA!

Your tags are broken...you've got spaces after the backslashes, which make them different from the actual tags for the characters.
