I know, humiliating, isn't it? Evidently the difference is age, nationality or Spectrum colour didn't clue her in. If all the Highborn were this single-minded, it might have been a little easier to mess with their combat plans.
Most of them are from Abrahamic religions where that sort of thing is... not entirely palatable.
And those that aren't have better options. Plus, I doubt many of them have much in the way of the magical skill required, or the willingness.Well, that's impressive. Someone actually noticed it. And I see Hal's been checking up on reports.
One more thing for the increasingly large to-do list, if it isn't already there. Presumably it's falling in priority with each event that comes up.
Dude: Batman. Despite his 'cool dad' veneer, he's still the paranoid, slightly cracked detective guy under there. Of course he'd know about Sivana.Heh. And it's not like OL hasn't had success reforming other super-criminals before.
I wonder if they ever thought about sending in teams of lanterns to help clean Vega up once Larfleeze was removed from the picture. Or were they debating it before this happened? Probably one of those 'talk about it when there's nothing else urgent' topics.
Man, even in-universe, they can't keep their historical continuity straight. Then again, when they're the ones writing the history books, I guess they get to choose the offical version.
There had to be a period when the original Maltusians weren't in residence, wasn't there? After all, the 'Clickers' come from Maltus, right? A few million years away might easily allow another species to evolve.
Well, you're older and wiser now. You know to not accept the official line at first sight. I bet you could easily overcome the yellow weakness now...
That way lies far too many 'what if's' and 'maybes'... Be who you are, not who you think you want history to record you were.
That an amusing way to look at it. And a little obnoxious. I'd say, always aim for second place. Why not first? Because as the Disc's second-greatest lover, Casanunda, said: second place works harder.
No hard feelings because he managed to Host Ion? That's a pretty big bump to his rep in the Corps. No wondering if you could have managed it, or have been found wanting?
Too bad your ring's full of bobblehead malware, you could have it assist you on that front. Good to know you're not so scatterbrained, though.
Trying to embarrass OL by turning it around on him? You fool. You know OL has no shame.
Getting a little bit inquisitive there, Hal?
What a gentleman and a lady get up to in private is their business.While it may not seem like we see her often, we've got to keep in mind, we aren't seeing every minute of every day of OL's life. There's got to be some stuff happening offscreen...
Like the movie said: "I've known you my whole life! I've seen you NAKED! You don't think I wouldn't recognize you because I can't see your cheekbones?!" Honestly, The only reason Green lanterns even have masks are the old Superhero tropes about secret identities, isn't it?
Heh. To be fair, they had a good point there. It's a good idea to live by, and a lot harder these days with so many things competing for our time. I doubt it would be any easier for guys like Hal.
Legion... That would be the foe Hal was recruited by Abin Sur to fight, yes? And that was only because he was the closest valid candidate... That's honestly a good question. If you knew the job was that dangerous, why keep doing it? The thrill? The 'duty'? Because no-one else could?
It's to do with why he's such a good Green Lantern, isn't it? That determination... That stubbornness that makes him so strong...
Plus, the ability to fly without a plane? What pilot hasn't dreamed of that? The movie made strange choices, but Hal's joy at flying with the ring? That's one thing it got right.
...What. Wait, are we talking about that pilot, callsign 'Cowgirl', from the post-Infinite crisis stories or someone else?
It better not be Arisia, that's wrong on way too many levels.Local Carol, of course. I doubt Earth-14's Dame Carol wouldn't have any history with him, besides her version (maybe?) being Power Ring Green.
Ah, man! Put that on the to-do list, OL: Find out who Hal's dating now. Just for the sake of heading off future trouble?
Heh. Might be one of the longest one-on-one scenes we've seen between Hal and OL in a long time. It's usually Guy doing the Green-Orange buddy-buddy thing. And no comment on what the Guardians had to say about the Sheeda invasion? Beyond the presumed 'It's an Internal matter, none of our concern?'
I guess Hal was visiting on break from honour Guarding...
