    Unlike every other ring, the Black Power Ring wears its host instead of the other way around, making the body merely a vessel for the power of the Ring to function.

      @WereCreed 3 роки тому +3

      Depends on what sort of necromancy lore/justification
      Restoring a soul to it's original body to allow it to live on past it's time? Bad.
      Raising a corpse temporarily with a random soul to fight and serve you, where the soul returns back to the void/realm/whatever you wanna call it? Sounds good to me

      American Panda yet you involuntarily put money in his pocket just by watching this video. Ad sense pays him based off of views which you and I provide. You spend time watching his video and time isn’t free. Just because you didnt directly hand him a dollar to watch this video doesn’t mean you didn’t pay him. On UA-cam I enjoy is money and your time watching this video pays him directly via UA-cam. This thought that you must hand someone money to view their videos is nonsense. He voluntarily makes this video and voluntarily puts it on a platform that pays via “clicks”. Stop spouting nonsense

      When Guy Gardner becomes the embodiment of Willpower and go against Sinestro whose super charged by Parallax and wins, let me know. Till then, Hal is known as the best Green Lantern with the most willpower. Doesnt mean he would be the best man to LEAD the others though.

  • @kingmixel755

    When he talked about the scarred guardian it reminded me of one that showed up in green lantern the animated series named well Scar her story is very close she does fight the anti montor in ep 20 and survived wounded but disappeared at the end of ep 24 but in the same episode at 18:44 their is a black book with the black lantern insignia on it in her lab didnt know if this was intentional or a coincidence but I to think that if the series wasn't canceled we might have seen the black lanterns in more media

    Rob,
    Charles Xavier died like three times and came back before the death of superman comic now that comic (Superman)was far more dramatic because of the year long commitment to his death, but none the less I would think how many times Charles Xavier died cheapens comic deaths. Just a thought love your channel and your thoughts.

    Who do you think will be a better green lantern villain for a green lantern movie sinestro or atrocitus?
    Personaly i love both but atrocitus is just a savage and i prefer him( and maybe if we will have atrocitus as the villain we will get a menhunters movie).

      I had an idea:
      We pick up with Ryan Reynolds seemingly Hal Jordan again, waking up from a nightmare, only for us to realize that he is Guy Gardner! The whole first movie was him dreaming about what it was be like to be his rival. So we have Reynolds with his hair dyed red and sporting the leather style uniform. Someone else plays the real Jordan, but we get the same actor playing Sinestro, (hopefully; he is PERFECT). We solve everything in a humorous way and we can proceed from there.

    If you haven't already, because I just thought of this while watching this video, make a video on the entity for each of the emotions in the spectrum. That's if that is currently possible. And also like in this video you point out what the one specific person has to go through to create a new power ring for each spectrum.

    Rob- They were killing off characters in the 70's and 80's before Superman died... There used to be a saying that a person was "Bucky, Uncle Ben or Phoenix dead." Most everyone else was up for grabs. Then Phoenix came back as Jean Grey... or I should say Jean Grey came back and brought with her some Phoenix powers... it took a LONG time for Bucky to come back... meanwhile a whole mess of DC characters came back... Superman got the Most Newstime for it.
    I cannot tell you if Uncle Ben ever came back as a Clone or something... but I think he may be the only Marvel Long-time character that is still dead... Then Mar-vel, but he was replaced before he was dead... and afrter.

    I've loved your Lantern saga so far. I had most of these comics. I do have a question, and it may not have been in this book, but didn't Specter Hal Jordan cut off Black Hand's hand during a fight with a newly resurrected Green Arrow? If so, then that gives even more motivation for Black Hand's obsession/hatred of Hal Jordan and the Green Lanterns.
