SuaveStar Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Yeah, I get that, and you're right. Still feels weird that it's Sinestro, though. Remember Sinestro corps though, he was described as the greatest green lantern ever, and will be again. I agree, it is shocking, Sinestro being the man who saves the day.

Dread Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Sinestro began as a force for good. Extreme good. Also, Brightest Day doesn't mean "nice and happy." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Sinestro began as a force for good. Extreme good. Yes. He also wanted the Guardians to protect the Green Lanterns, by letting them use lethal force. I'm just shocked that a guy called Sinestro is the hero now.

KnightWing Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 It's not that I doubt Sinestro being an amazing lantern; it's more that I don't think Sinestro values life (as a principle). If anything, he'd sooner become a dictator and sentence people to death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 I think it's maybe more like he embodies all of the emotions on the spectrum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 More than any other Lantern he embodies every single part of the spectrum. Hal has embraced all but greed (although he did rebuild coast city I suppose), the rest are more limited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Molly Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Well, yeah, I just think that they'd have been better served to be used on Earth. Don't get me wrong, I love what Tomasi has done with GLC, I just have a hard time believing that the entire Corps wouldn't have confronted this immediately.

Don't get me wrong, I love what Tomasi has done with GLC, I just have a hard time believing that the entire Corps wouldn't have confronted this immediately. Well, Blackest Night takes place over a pretty short time span, and the Guardians weren't around to give orders to the GLC. Salaak didn't know about Earth's importance, so he wouldn't have ordered the GLC to do anything other than defend the Green Battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 I love how this event really shows the difference between DC and Marvel's opinions on our home marble. Earth had already been established in DC to be the Centerstone of the Multiverse Orrey and during "Our World's at War," blowing it up starts up a new Big Bang. Now it can add being the source of all life to the list. In the Marvel Universe, Earth is kinda insignificant. This was driven home by Civil War and Annihilation running at the same time. Annihilation is dealing with the possible destruction of reality itself while on Earth, all the heroes are too concerned with registering. Even Secret Invasion, which centers around Skrulls attacking Earth, was running at the same time as War of Kings was getting set up. Earth's conflicts are insignificant on the cosmic scale in 616.

KnightWing Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Earth is pretty important in the Marvel U as well, being the home of thousands of super-beings as well as the crossroads for a bunch of galactic space routes, but yeah, DC definitely has Earth being more significant.

Molly Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 I think the Annihilation/Civil War thing had more to do with Earth's heroes having their collective heads up their asses, as Nova pointed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
