    So could OL… take ‘em? What are his odds?

  2. With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

    I feel like you're misunderstanding the social dynamic here. You "give people shit" about things you know they aren't that embarrassed or regretful about, but that's it's fun to tease them for. When Jordan tells OL not to blow up any planets, that's like 10% a reminder to caution and 90% one...

    It seems like there's a severe lack of knowledge about what is gong on in the rest of the world in many, many places. I realize long distance travel isn't easy, but you'd think they could do better than this. Especially all these sites on the same continent; neolithic traders managed to pass...

    Technically I think he agreed to give up his seat on the Council in response to the complaint that it's basically letting Dox have two votes. But no reason to tell this guy that. Oof, announcing an intent to commit planetary genocide was probably not great on the "convince OL to remain...

    OL has seen people restored from assimilation twice; first by Finality Man using omega beams and then by Highfather. So New God bullshit in both cases. Still, that doesn't mean that New God bullshit is the only way of doing it. If the Guardians follow through on getting that assimilated...

    If you mean physically, sure he's scanned her and she comes back as a Kryptonian variant where the differences could be explained by her being from a different universe. If you mean mentally, Kara just so happens to practice the esoteric Kryptonian meditation technique that blocks OL's empathic...

    She doesn't seem to have any problem with using tools as such. After all, this arc we see her using the Darkstar armor and associated systems quite a bit. So maybe she just needs better tools. Jade didn't want a power ring because of how it affected her mind, but DC comics has plenty of...

    Seems kind of unnecessary. Last time we saw Hyathis she was shouting that after she polished off her local enemies, Thanagar is next. She's not being coy about her intentions. Keep in mind that Bleez is not primarily an intelligence agent. She's not a black widow from the red room or...

    What Krono Thinks: Obviously he's concerned with the theological implications of my usage of supernatural powers. What Daniel Thinks: Wait, does this guy believe in magic? Is he crazy?

    Eh maybe, though the Thangarians have shown some sophistication about testing OL while having a backup plan to deflect blame. (Recalling the prior incident with the cultist attack that they allowed to happen.) Some smart operators might say, "Well if the first platform didn't get him with a...

    While I understand Hyathis is angry at getting booted off the Thanagarian throne and probably feels like it was a big betrayal, I'm not sure what she really hopes to accomplish with attacking them. If support for Hyathis is as low as Bleez believes (and Bleez is the heir to a planetary throne...

    I decided to go back and check on the last time OL met Hyathis to see where her headspace was. Okay yes, Hyathis said very directly that she's coming for Thanagar. Also she's a giant plant lady now. Maybe OL can cut a deal for her to leave Havania and its mere 50 million thangarians alone...

    So what would the stake of a war with Hyathis actually be? What would Thanagar or Hyathis be looking to achieve?

  14. With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

    That would be legitimately hilarious. Let us remember that Batman currently has an army of OMACs who are capable of fighting kryptonians and doing real damage to them. I hope the Thanagarians do invade Earth; be nice to see the OMACs do something useful for once. That said, I think it's more...

    Objection, by his own story of having been born prewar he is definitely over 40 Krono-logically. (I made this post 90% for that pun.) Natural-born is a bit trickier but could potentially be finagled. There's actually a clause about "or a resident for 14 years in the territory at the time the...

    An experienced administrator (running the Skywalkers), who's good at negotiating compromises (look at everything in this arc) and making them stick (oh he has a hell of a stick). Who can govern (demonstrated) but has no strong desire to rule over people (yes). Who has strong ideals (he has...

    Quote from a few chapters back: and so... My point is just that Bleez actually does seem to have a pretty good mindset for the orange light. She's in touch with her own desires and acts impulsively to satisfy them without letting fear or other emotions get in the way, but she does so in a...

    When we get two storylines alternating like this, I always start to look for thematic parallels. Zoat's mind is presumably in the same place anyway. Much like Paragon Paul, Fallout Paul is meeting with government officials without an official position (other than among the Skywalkers) but with...

    Maybe the mistake was going through the government in the first place. Once you do that, they aren’t interested in making money, they’re interested in risks.

    I don't think OL was trying to put Bleez in an awkward position. It's just hard to tell the difference between "history" and "currently relevant politics" when dealing with an alien species and culture. I notice he even referred to it as a "history question". Like, on "The Rest is History"...
