Just a nerdy girl with random thoughts about nerdy things… including comic books, movies, tv shows, some video games, etc.

I’ve been reflecting on why Green Lantern, specifically Hal Jordan, is my all time fav character and why he means so much to me. I love the Green Lantern Corps and overcoming your fears to use the ring. But why Hal Jordan specifically? Why don’t I favor any of the others? Hal has never let fear stop him. He doesn’t let tragedy and fear define him. He never has, and that’s why everyone assumes he’s fearless. He’s not; he’s a master at willpower, at not letting his fear stop him. That’s why I hate Emerald Twilight and his turn to Parallax. It doesn’t feel like Hal Jordan. The only reason I’m okay with it now is because it gave use Green Lantern: Rebirth, which is my absolute favorite comic book story. What Geoff Johns did and how he redeemed Hal was just so perfect along with the rest of his Green Lantern run. It’s one of the major reason he’s my favorite GL writer. There are so many favorite moments from that story, but my absolute favorite is when Parallax is taunting Hal and telling him to give up, and Hal says, “I don’t know how.” I just love this so much — that’s what I aspire to be. Not fearless but having the ability to overcome my fears. For as long as I can remember I’ve struggled with anxiety and fear. I’ve missed opportunities because I’ve let fear hold me back. I’ve always hated my anxiety and how it makes me feel. I just wanted it to stop and go away. I wanted to be fearless, but that just isn’t possible. You don’t have to love it, but you have to accept that anxiety and fear are part of life. They’re never going away, and you need the willpower to overcome them. And that’s what Hal has done from the beginning. And what I wish I could’ve done. My favorite quote: “No fear doesn’t mean you never feel afraid. It means you fight through the fear.” As much as I love the Silver and Bronze Age Green Lantern, what Geoff Johns did was just spectacular. He really elevated the character and the mythos. Green Lantern is what it is today because of him. #GreenLantern #HalJordan

@NightLantern59 @GoodNightDrew Making a counterfeit buck to "steal" from a casino seems so small scale I don't really see the problem with a character who isn't typically depicted being the paragon of good. He is a space cop after all lol

@GoodNightDrew That was out of character for him, which is why it was retconned into being influenced by Parallax.

@NightLantern59 literally conjured up Coast City when it was destroyed so he could recreate all the friends and people that had died the Guardians got pissed at him for "using the ring for personal gain" that they wanted him to hang it up

@VeggieWillymass @GoodNightDrew Yes, but this is not the same thing. Making fake money to basically steal is not what he does. He pushes the boundaries and breaks the rules to save people and the world. That’s not what’s happening here.

@NightLantern59 @GoodNightDrew I haven't read too much Green Lantern in my time but isn't Hal known as the dude that constantly breaks past the rules and preconceived notions of what a Lantern is?

Oh boy! So many red flags! This trailer did not ease any of my fears — it just made them worse. Yes, there are constructs this time, but why the hell is Hal not wearing his suit while using the ring?!? He barely ever does that — the suit should appear once he starts using the ring. And he’s wearing that ugly brown ass suit. Also why the fuck is he not wearing a mask?!?! Hal’s identity is secret!! John’s the one who doesn’t wear a mask. You don’t “earn” the ring — the ring choses you based on your ability to OVERCOME FEAR! It’s not about being fearless!! It’s about overcoming fear! Ugh! Even the 2011 GL movie put that in the trailer!! These people do not understand Green Lantern and they especially don’t understand Hal Jordan. Once you get the ring, you can certain prove and show why it chose you, but it already sees the potential!! YOU CAN’T EARN IT!! There is so much wrong with this. I can’t even put it into words right now.

The more I read, the more I’m really becoming an Aquaman fan! I’ve loved Jeremy Adams’ run so far and now I’ve read the Geoff Johns and Jeff Parker runs — both of which are great! Reading Dan Abnett’s run now and loving it.

I’m never getting over the gold accents on this ring… why couldn’t the outline have been a darker green? Say what you will but gold is basically yellow. The Green Lantern ring should not have any yellow. Period. Unless they’re making Hal Parallax…
