No, it still is stupid.

It only means that the universe is a stupid place for letting a stupid thing work.

And anyone that's watched the show knows that the Light's plan with the Reach was a failure.

Look at the future Impulse came from.

The heroes were the ones that solved that.

What was his plan if the weaker species just decided to fuck off, or if the stronger one effortlessly destroyed the weaker one and didn't suffer losses on their end?

I'm guessing he was just going to wing it.

The number of times this exact thing happened in canon, his "plan" was apparently hope the heroes bailed them out.

And if it's stupid and doesn't work, you're just a fucking idiot.

Original Timeline: The Reach won, the Light got played, and Earth was fucked. It took FlashBoy from the future using time travel to unfuck their mess.

Altered Timeline: When the Reach realized they weren't going to win, they set off doomsday weapons as a parting Fuck You, with only the heroes being able to stop them, with the sacrifice of Kid Flash.

The OG Light are bungling clowns, who repeatedly hand themselves L's, every time, only surviving because the heroes bail the planet out.

"Contained"? What do you mean, "contained"? Slade keeps getting away and escaping from the Titans all the time, and even death couldn't stop him permanently. To this day, the Titans still haven't caught him, and he's still at large doing who-knows-what. Does that sound contained to you?

He basically exists to mess around with a small group of teanagers. That's effectively contained.

Did you seriously forget about the part where Slade was complicit in helping summon Trigon to cause the apocalypse, which nearly destroyed the world in the process?

Plus, even if we put that aside, considering that he tried to put nano-bombs in the bodies of teenagers just to blackmail, coerce and torture another teenager into becoming his apprentice, I think he went past the point of no return a long time ago.

Also, let's not kid ourselves here: We've seen plenty of Pauls who have killed people for just as much, if not less. The idea that any Paul, especially this Paul, would let Slade live after all that, is ludicrous.

That's true, but he doesn't know about a lot of that. He doesn't have access to the Titan's mission reports. He certainly doesn't spend all day monitoring them. He checks up and sees that no one has died and none of the Titans have lasting injuries and evaluates his threat based on that.

Oh yeah, I forgot that the Pauls don't remember the shows/universes they land in, so I guess Raul must have forgotten everything that happened in Teen Titans 2003 when he got sent there. So if he forgot everything Slade did, then he probably doesn't know how dangerous and monstrous this particular incarnation of Deathstroke truly is, so Raul probably considers him a low-priority target. I guess his mindset in regards to Slade must be something along the lines of: "If I see him I'll kill him on sight, but I won't go out of my way to track him down because I've got bigger fish to fry".

But the question is, are Slade and the other Titan villains aware of Raul? I'm guessing they're staying out of Raul's way both because he's not a Titan and because of how dangerous and lethal he is, but I'm also guessing that Raul will attract their attention sooner or later since he likes hunting supervillains.

Not now that he's a squeaky clean Justice League member. Recoverable injuries only.

The only time when he'd have killed Wilson Slade was when he was a Trigon puppet.
 
Currently finished up post #269 in the Story Only section

we have just wrapped up the giant plant attack arc. Many of the "injustice league" were soundly defeated and captured. I also really dig how OL beat Black Adam.

Using magical psychodelics to commune with Teth Atum and the egyptian pantheon? Inspired shit right there. Loved every bit of that. Now we have a 5000 year old Teth in modern day and the villains have one less piece on the board to play with. Now they have to contest with yet another superman level being on the side of the heroes.

I also kinda dig that OL refuses to even dignify Joker. Brother drops his government name every time.
"Bitch you're not named Joker. You are a regular fuckin guy with a skin condition called Jack Napier. You should know, you file your taxes every year." /SPOILER]

He's a member of the local Justice League? I'm surprised. I would have thought that the Red Lantern Corps philosophy would clash heavily with the League's rules on lethal force and bureaucracy.

I believe we saw that. If I recall, in one of the latest segments for Raul, he was discussing with Komand'r their domesticity, I think their kid is not a toddler anymore, and then they decided to join the Justice League.
