Yeah, that whole thing was a travesty.
Yeah if I'm being honest I'd only be able to use a yellow ring or Maybe a green or blue one.
Oh no nothing about trusting the courts if anything I'd try and manipulate parliaments to reinstate the death penalty for the specific crimes involved.
Ya see that's how to get the local universes, anomalous persons, to kill you in your sleep or some shit.
And then 0% ring charge, you'd be like a guy with a rifle in the stone age.
Ah, in the amazon show he basically does whatever the fuck he wants and kills almost anyone who annoys him, however, he desperately seeks approval from other people which is why he doesn't literally kill everyone who annoys him.
You might wanna nip that in the butt before it becomes an actual problem...
There was quite a lot of fighting. Not much of it was Brazilian military versus Accala.
Sivana doesn't have specific knowledge of how to make power rings.
Thank you, corrected.
No, Dr Isley has.
Yes in both cases.
Atlantis, yes. Themyscira, no.
Accalacan.Heh! Euanthe's been busy I see
'Euanthe the God-Empress ofAccalaBrazil' has a nice ring to it.
Upgrading is free, but leveling the node to the point where you can upgrade it requires a lot of building work. I also feel that the volume of territory that I was controlling should have resulted in me having more caps than I did.
They don't know exactly what their relationship is. Probably wouldn't have any strong feelings about it. The Accala regard christianity as 'that nasty Portuguese religion' and had a separate pantheon anyway.
Thank you, corrected.
That gets into 'did they have better plausible options, and how well-equipped the Jedi in general were to understand that they were leading a slave army' (the Jedi arguably being slaves themselves, but mostly not knowing or believing that they are), which is the sort of thing that leads to unresolvable arguments (because it depends on how one interprets the books/movies/comics/shows, many of which contradict each other).
Don't forget that as soon as she had access to time travel the first thing she did was try to sell weapons to their version of Hitler.
I'd like to think I have the willpower to use a green ring. I've pushed past many a tough time/injury in training. But I could never work for the Guardians.
You have a point. But I can see myself in OL's position as one of the most powerful people on the planet going "Meh, don't care what you think."
Given the extreme numbers of villainous mass murderers that exist in the setting that never get touched, I wouldn't expect much.
Well, there are ways of going about that. I mean I've read GL comics off and on for years where they never ran out of charge, or times when it was the biggest deal in the world.
I mean...it's Garth Ennis. Forgetting his tripe is probably the best thing for you. Rejoice!
The first method can also work, especially if your goal is self-preservation. "I am afraid of getting hit by that" for construct shield, and probably "get rid of that threat!" for any construct attack. Or maybe even make a construct of something you are scared of, though I suppose that might make the construct attack you.
I'm not up to date on how all the different colors work, I've always been more of a Marvel guy until they activated plan: Piss Maxx off.
I mean, obviously Superfriends shouldn't be taken as canon. But that would be interesting. I DO like the idea that rings can obtain tiny amounts of charge by absorbing ambient emotion.
I'm also told that his work on Judge Dredd and The Punisher (Gag) was quite good.
I'm fairly certain they did. I'm pretty sure the OG Yellow ring was nothing more than a Qwardian weapon made to fuck over GL's.
Well yes, I got that much. It still seems like they would be screwed if they faced people who didn't fear them and/or couldn't be intimidated.
As I recall it started out as a necessary impurity in the "lens" of the ring that was required to allow the ring to work (Which works just fine as an explanation to me. But suddenly, we gotta fuck with things). Then was changed to a deliberate weakness installed by the Guardians to keep Lanterns from becoming too powerful or turning on them (This was also the retcon for Alan's Magic ring having a weakness to wood). Then it was stated that it was due to Paralax dwelling in the Central power battery. Then it became a thing that could just be ignored if the Lantern "leveled up" enough to overcome great fear.
I'd comment more. But I cut myself on all that edge and have to go bandage up.
A quick google leads me to be uninterested. But thanks.
Synergy bonuses and observation bias.
I'm a little surprised no one has brought up the point that OL had a good reason to think that the bad people he's given rings to would channel that power into something aligned with his goals. Kalmin cares more about creating weapons than about wielding them, for example, and Blight is a classic example of well-intentioned extremist that wouldn't need to commit atrocities if given the power and direction to do things better.
Usually the expression is "bud," from the idea of cutting a plant before it blooms and spreads its pollen. Nipping someone in the butt usually makes them more of a problem.
Paragon is one of a number of people fighting the Sheeda. Shade are mostly using him overseas, to acquire useful resources while everyone is distracted.
Yes, yes, yes.
She wanted to improve the human race. She wanted to improve it for her own selfish reasons, of course, and she had no ethics with regards to how she carried out her research, but the whole point of her appearance in this fic is that she could be redirected to channel her ambition in a productive way. That's why OL wasn't foolish to give her a ring.
