Man, it is nice to see well trained soldiers doing their job. And I include OL in that. He picked his idols and methods very early in this story, and trained himself in those ways well.
If what we seen in the past few arcs is representative of how the Orange Lantern Corps is training their recruits, I think they're going to be more SWAT/secret agent in their manner of operation. Meet up with the local gov, cooperate as much as is reasonable, and then execute the plan with precision. By the book, just as the Controllers want it done.
It contrasts favorably to how the GL Corps does it, which is much more lone sheriff in the Wild West style. Sweep into town only when they decide its necessary to put out fires and crack heads, maybe leave a firm warning behind them of the way out. Building a aura of awe and respect, just as the Guardians will it.
Makes me wonder how the other Corps will design their modus operandi. The indigo's seem to work off of a missionary method, working in spite and detatched from any government or local authority. Which seems ok, but without organisation and oversight it seems like their efforts would be inefficient and patchy. Then again, power rings can overcome a lot of inefficentcies. Blues would seem to fall into the same camp, but more along the disaster relief and recovery aid efforts. Neither of these really speak to any method of law enforcement though. Indigo varying between non lethal and instantly lethal?
Reds would be more avengers/ crusaders, hunting out crimes and injustice that fall under specific interests, being one man "Punisher"-type wecking balls. But it would be cool to see a "Joan of Arc" style revolutionary, uniting a group under the auspices of anger to overthrow corrupt rulers.
I wonder what a productive, positive(?) influence Yellow or Violet Corps would be like?
Man, I went off on a wide tangent there. Sorry about that. One of the reasons I love this story is that it asks hard questions that could never have been answered in the comics. And its great to see the pay off here in the past few arcs.
