    Guardian: Yes, I agree. For the sake of the universe, we must keep a better eye on the Corps members. That's why we're going to form a unit to investigate them.

      I mean if I had been in Hal's shoes I'd probably have gone full sinestro much, much earlier. The guardians are insane.
      PS: for anyone that doesn't know. During Emerald Twilight Hal snaps and murders the entire green lantern corp during a PTSD attack, in a move so poorly placed and handled that they pretty much immediately retconned it 3 different ways hoping at least 1 made sense. Which is extra funny due to the fact that Hal had sooooo many reasons to snap. I mean hell I'm pretty sure it would've been easier to make it feel earned than it was to eff it up that badly.

      Well from old comics and some retcons. He was a long standing genuinely good Green Lantern. The only early signs if any Guardians actually paid attention was how he later on started handling his quadrant and especially his home world... After a while he took over his planet as a dictator and then spread to said quadrant he was suppose to protect.
      He was prior to that close friends with Abin Sur who was of course was Hal Jordan's predecessor. There was in 90s/00s some stories to give a more tragic back story to the previously mostly one dimensional Sinestro. Some of it stuck while still he being evil and terrible. There was a run some years ago where he was Green Lantern again teamed up with Hal Jordan. It wasn't that bad in some story bits.
      Still he is better off a villain and his view on order is full on authoritarian.

    Granted, making criminals Fear you is a perfectly valid way of spreading Justice
    Just look at Batman, if he can do it and still be considered good, I'm sure Sinestro could manage to do it as well

      Technically any of the lights could be used for good.
      Red (Anger): Righteous outrage.
      Orange (Greed): The most tenuous, but kind of a benevolent nimbyism, and since some of the Lanterns are stationed at one planet, that could work out.
      Yellow (Fear): Being an intimidating hero and/or fearing for others' safety.
      Green (Will): Well, we see several Green Lantern Corps members being good, despite the organisation kind of being assholes.

      Indigo (Compassion): "
      Violet/Pink (Love): "
      White (Life): "
      Black (Death): In theory, if it wasn't personally causing death, whenever a villain started slaughtering people you draw power from that,

    The best part of this is it's not very far off from how the guardians canonically act in the comics.

    3:29 Oa was swiftly attacked by the Borg as their queen took offense to that. The people of Bizzaro World on the other hand defended Oa, taking Bizzaro offense.

    The music with the dramatic accusation and Sinestro playing with his mustache is just *AMAZING!* That is such a classic trope and I can't help but hear cheesy '50s villain laughter.
    EDIT: "He's like Luigi" oh fucking sweet mother of flippity flip flops I'm fucking dying of laughter!
