pig-looking one. 00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:09.280 Yes, yes. 00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:19.840 Um, there's another guy named Tomar Ray, uh, who's kind of like a bird, but my personal favorite as a uh no, no, one more one more. 00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:33.599 Um there's another one, his name is Rot Lop Fan, and he's interesting because he lives in a sector where there's no sun, so he hears or he sees through sound. 00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:41.199 And actually, because he has no idea what the color green is, he calls himself the F sharp bell. 00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:58.400 And then, my personal favorite, obscure, um, there was a show one time where it turned out that Hal Jordan used the same dry cleaner as Daffy Duck. 00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:09.439 And so Daffy Duck it took his costume and Green Lantern Ring and became the one and only Green Loon Turn. 00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:12.159 Okay, that's kind of whimsical. 00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:14.080 Yeah, it's you know what? 00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:15.919 It was funny. 00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:25.759 Um But so so so Green Lantern so the Green Lanterns were created by the guardians of the universe, the little blue guys. 00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:26.160 Yeah. 00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:29.680 The little miserable guys, and with the big heads. 00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:30.959 Yes, exactly, yes. 00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:41.600 Um, and they split the galaxy, or like the immediate galaxy, into thirty, six hundred sectors. 00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:50.000 And the way it's the way as I understand it, is that it's a sphere with Oa in the middle. 00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:54.240 Oa, the home world of the guardians, or the lanterns, in the middle. 00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:58.399 So that way Oa is in every Green Lantern sector. 00:04:58.800 --> 00:04:59.279 Gotcha. 00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:00.959 Okay, sector 001. 00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:01.759 Got it. 00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:02.639 Yes. 00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:09.120 And so the originally it was one lantern per sector. 00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:15.279 Then it became two lanterns, a sector, so they had like a backup and a partner. 00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:23.040 And which led to a lot of interesting pairings. 00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:26.399 Um, I I don't remember their names. 00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:32.959 But there were there were two lanterns um that were partnered. 00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:47.120 One was a Thanagarian, and the other one, I don't remember what his race was, but he was like a a lizard that was actually at odds with the Thanagarians, and then they were forced to be partners. 00:05:47.920 --> 00:05:52.480 Or, my personal favorite is there is a Green Lantern. 00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:53.600 Have you ever heard of Mogo? 00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:55.279 Yes. 00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:57.199 I have heard that name before. 00:05:57.519 --> 00:06:02.000 Mogo is a Green Lantern that is a living planet. 00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:03.199 Yes, yes. 00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:12.000 I I have heard that and s I I couldn't tell you from what media source, but I do specifically remember that one. 00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:20.079 His sector partner is a lantern named Bzzd, which is a mosquito. 00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:21.519 Okay, that makes sense. 00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:23.439 The biggest guy and the smallest guy. 00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:26.000 Not the smallest guy, but I don't know the specifics. 00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:27.759 It gets wild when you get out there. 00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:33.600 Like, there's one, I don't know if he's a Green Lantern, but there's one where like he's a living mathematical equation. 00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:34.639 It's wild. 00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:45.279 But anyways, um, so so Earth, for the longest time, only had four Green Lanterns. 00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:51.279 How jchnically, there are five. 00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:57.439 There's a Green Lantern named Alan Scott, who is not connected to the Green Lantern core. 00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:12.959 He is his powers are based in magic, and that they kind of loosely tied to the Guardians, but like he has no association other than the name. 00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:13.839 He's a freelancer. 00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:24.800 This is this is this is like the Justice Society before before comic books went from like magic to science, before Green Lantern was a space cop. 00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:25.600 Okay. 00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:29.600 Um so Hal Jordan was the first. 00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:42.079 Um I'm pretty sure most people, even the like the layman's fans, they know they're he's probably like one of the two most recognizable Green Lanterns. 00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:42.879 Right. 00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:45.040 Um The OG. 00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:46.000 Yes. 00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:56.560 And he was originally given a backup lantern, and that's where we talk about Guy Gardner. 00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:13.199 Guy Gardner, they they retconned it where Guy Gardner and Hal Jordan were both capable of being the first human Green Lantern, but they like retconned it that Hal Jordan was closer. 00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:14.319 I don't know. 00:08:14.480 --> 00:08:17.279 I don't know if that's still the case or what they've changed. 00:08:17.519 --> 00:08:54.480 Guy Gardner was his backup, and Guy Gardner he I he he has such a a wild story about being like a PE teacher, and then he like was hit by a bus and he went into a coma, and then he had brain damage, and then they replaced him as the backup with Jon Stewart, but then he came back, then he got trapped in like an antimatter universe, then he came back with a yellow ring, but this is before similar to Sinestro's, but before he was before the Sinestro core existed. 00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:56.000 No, we need a flowchart for all this. 00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:57.759 Oh yeah, no, no, yeah, no, no, no, no. 00:08:57.840 --> 00:08:59.519 And I and I'm simplifying it. 00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:00.639 Oh, of course you are. 00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:10.720 Jon Stewart, um he probably next to Hal

Jordan is the most recognizable because he was in that Green Lantern. 00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:12.799 No, not Green Lantern, Justice League. 00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:13.919 Yeah, Justice League Unlimited. 00:09:14.159 --> 00:09:17.600 Yeah, Justice League Unlimited was only Jon Stewart. 00:09:17.919 --> 00:09:18.639 Daddy and Daddy. 00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:27.600 But it I mean, they I think there was one episode where they did like a crossover where there was a Hal Jordan did appear in one, but that was it. 00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:40.000 So so um But all the other Justice, like the more recent Justice League movies, like Justice League War and everything, that's all been Hal Jordan. 00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:40.799 Right. 00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:51.279 Um They so yeah, in that in that sh so technically in that show, they so they so they had Jon Stewart as the main guy. 00:09:52.240 --> 00:10:10.080 Um Kyle Rainer, who I talked about a little bit before and I'm talking about in a second, he was um another Green Lantern, but he was on Oa because in the cart in the animated series it was one lantern per sector. 00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:17.679 And Hal Jordan doesn't really make an appearance on that show, he makes an appearance for like five minutes. 00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:26.399 There's this, in my opinion, fun episode where Batman, Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern are chasing a guy through time. 00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:28.000 I remember that one. 00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:37.679 So so like they end up in the future with like Batman Beyond and Old Man Bruce Wayne, and like Wonder Woman gets written out of existence. 00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:38.080 Yes. 00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:43.120 And then briefly Jon Stewart without explanation just turns into Hal Jordan. 00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:44.960 That's the episode I'm thinking of. 00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:45.360 Yeah. 00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:49.919 He's he's in there for like maybe maybe five minutes. 00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:58.320 Um but yeah, John and Jon Stewart, he so he was Hal Jordan's second backup. 00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:02.559 He I don't remember his original origin. 00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:06.399 I do know that he was kind of a stereotype to begin with. 00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:13.440 Just because like he was like, you know, he was like, oh, I don't I'm you don't call me the Green Lantern, I'm the Black Lantern. 00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:16.080 I think this was like the 70s or something like that. 00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:18.799 It it's been it's been changed for obvious reasons. 00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:32.000 Like he was an architect, he was a marine, um, which all these backgrounds really kind of address um like details about them, like their kind of like their like how their constructs work, etc. 00:11:32.320 --> 00:11:32.720 Right, yeah. 00:11:32.879 --> 00:11:40.799 And then the last guy of the original four, so keeping track of time, keep you know, short and sweet, um, was Kyle, Kyle Rayner. 00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:52.159 Kyle has had a wild life in the comics because originally he was picked at random. 00:11:52.639 --> 00:12:01.679 Last episode I talked about that Emerald Twilight where Hal Jordan annihilated the Green Lantern core and parallax. 00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:02.159 Yeah. 00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:04.080 One guardian survived. 00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:05.279 Actually, Gantha. 00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:05.919 Okay. 00:12:06.080 --> 00:12:11.440 Which is usually, if they focus on a guardian for a in a story, it's usually Gantha. 00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:14.399 He's the only guardian who like cares about humans. 00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:15.039 Gotcha. 00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:16.320 He survives. 00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:30.080 He picks up the last Green Lantern, or he he forges one last Green Lantern ring and flies to Earth and just sees Kyle Raynor walking like through an alley and just goes, you'll have to do. 00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:32.399 Hands him the ring, gone. 00:12:32.799 --> 00:12:33.120 Okay. 00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:40.879 And so Kyle, like he like he was the considered the torch bearer because he was the only Green Lantern for a long time. 00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:45.360 He was the only Green Lantern to be on the Teen Titans and the Justice League. 00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:46.080 Oh, okay. 00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:55.600 He also Um, because he was the only Green Lantern, he had like unlimited like power in his ring. 00:12:55.840 --> 00:13:07.519 Which then got Retcon into this whole thing about how when I talked about the entities, yes, he he became Ion before they decided that oh, Ion is the green entity. 00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:08.320 Gotcha, yeah. 00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:22.320 He became Ion before they were like, Ion is actually the lantern whale entity, and then obviously went on to become a white lantern, and he he he's he he's he's a wild story. 00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:27.759 Um I love all three. 00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:28.879 Four. 00:13:29.440 --> 00:13:32.000 To me, oh, we're gonna get up to nine. 00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:36.639 I mean, we're just talking about Earth right now. 00:13:36.879 --> 00:13:37.120 Exactly. 00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:37.679 Well, yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:39.600 Well, no, yeah, I'm still talking about Earth. 00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:39.919 Yeah. 00:13:40.159 --> 00:13:49.600 Um because to me, each one like has like a different quality that I like either relate to or wish I had. 00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:57.360 Um Hal Jordan, you know, he He I think we talked about this in the Star Trek one. 00:13:57.679 --> 00:14:09.039 He is often compared to Captain Kirk because they both kind of operate on you know I'm gonna jump, I'm gonna jump out of a plane without a parachute and I'll figure it out on the way down. 00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:09.519 Yes. 00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:12.000 The no the no no loose scenario. 00:14:12.240 --> 00:14:13.759 Yeah, yeah, kinda, kinda. 00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:39.679 Like the first Green Lantern book I read, um, I

didn't even realize when I first read it that he didn't have his ring, he was no longer a lantern for 20 minutes, but he's like in his apartment, he looks out the window and he thinks he sees somebody being robbed, and so he just jumps out the window, to crashes in two floors down to save a lady from who knows what. 00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:45.919 Um it ends up being a movie um set, and she was not in danger, but still. 00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:46.960 Well, oops. 00:14:47.120 --> 00:14:52.480 Um, and like his constructs, because he was an um a test pilot. 00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:54.559 Yeah, he Air Force pilot. 00:14:55.200 --> 00:15:00.879 His constructs are usually like vehicle based. 00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:07.279 Like, usually it's like jets, and like his obviously most common one is the giant fist. 00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:07.759 Yes. 00:15:07.919 --> 00:15:09.840 Like, you know, the beginner of that. 00:15:10.240 --> 00:15:14.960 Um John Stewart, very serious, he um mur Marine. 00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:26.879 But also because he was an architect, his constructs are very detailed, like um intricate. 00:15:27.200 --> 00:15:35.440 Like, you know, when he like he when he uses his ring to like make a rifle, it is like you see every little piece come together. 00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:40.879 Um and also he's a natural leader. 00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:52.960 At one point he was in charge of the Green Lantern Corps and also actually a couple of times became a god, and um most Green Lanterns do at some point. 00:15:53.120 --> 00:16:03.200 Um, and you know, I love him, but he gets a lot of hate because there's been a real push lately to get Hal Jordan out of the way. 00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:06.000 Like in Lanterns Without the A. 00:16:06.559 --> 00:16:23.120 I say, I mean, I I've not watched an episode, but I mean I've watched the trailer, I've seen some compilations put together from the show, and it's just like, you know, okay, yeah, we still have Hal Jordan as a Green Lantern, but we kinda want him out of the way. 00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:23.600 Right. 00:16:23.759 --> 00:16:37.440 Or or like the number of times where he's just turned evil, or um Although I will sorry, uh to backtrack for just a second, Hal Jordan also has so much willpower he's created his own ring. 00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:38.960 I think it's happened twice. 00:16:39.120 --> 00:16:39.440 Okay. 00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:55.600 Um Guy Gardner, he originally I thought it was a spark, but apparently it was more dis d more Um described as like ooze, like just pouring out of his ring. 00:16:55.679 --> 00:17:05.039 The idea that he has so much willpower and he's always just like so ready that like his ring can't contain how much he how how much he has. 00:17:05.759 --> 00:17:11.920 Um he also has the sleeveless biker jacket, which I love, but I don't think would ever work in live action. 00:17:12.559 --> 00:17:13.440 No, probably not. 00:17:13.599 --> 00:17:13.920 Yeah. 00:17:14.079 --> 00:17:19.039 But um

but the thing But the casting for him has was very good. 00:17:19.279 --> 00:17:21.680 I do I like I I like Nathan Fillion. 00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:40.000 Um But the thing about uh not Nathan, the thing about Guy Gardner that I admire is that somewhere, I don't remember where it was, but he is egotistical, he is very self-centered, and he like just he's full, he's full of himself. 00:17:40.079 --> 00:17:42.559 He's God's gift to Green Lanterns. 00:17:43.039 --> 00:17:46.240 But he's got it where it counts. 00:17:46.400 --> 00:17:51.440 Like he will just, doesn't matter the odds, you know, he will just jump in there. 00:17:52.160 --> 00:18:01.519 Um like he lost his ring one time and he got in a fight with an alien that was three times his size, and he got the absolute crap kicked out of him. 00:18:01.839 --> 00:18:07.599 And some point in there it was described that they were like, why why would you do that? 00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:15.359 And he's like, if the bad guys are all focused on beating me up, they're not hurting anybody else. 00:18:15.599 --> 00:18:16.799 It's very noble of them. 00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:17.279 Exactly. 00:18:17.359 --> 00:18:18.079 Yeah, that's what I thought. 00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:18.640 And then Kyle. 00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:20.480 He has his good characteristics. 00:18:20.640 --> 00:18:20.799 Yeah. 00:18:20.880 --> 00:18:22.799 Oh, yeah, I mean they they all they all do. 00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:27.519 Um, Kyle was or is an artist. 00:18:27.680 --> 00:18:30.319 And so his constructs are super creative. 00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:33.680 Like when he was the Green Lantern, you saw all sorts of stuff. 00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:42.480 Like he made like anime mechs, like uh like like megasawords or um whatever. 00:18:42.559 --> 00:18:48.160 Like there was a people a guy who escaped an insane asylum and he used a giant teddy bear to catch him. 00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:52.480 Um, not the best examples, but again, streamlining this. 00:18:53.119 --> 00:18:55.839 So they were the main four for a long time. 00:18:56.079 --> 00:19:01.200 Then they introduced a fifth Green Lantern, who was a guy named Simon Baz. 00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:07.440 Simon, what in my opinion, was a missed opportunity. 00:19:08.319 --> 00:19:09.839 Skipping a lot of details. 00:19:11.359 --> 00:19:14.640 He, I don't remember his ethnicity, but he's not white. 00:19:15.279 --> 00:19:23.359 His storyline, he was um basically falsely arrested. 00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:25.119 Like he stole, I think he stole a van. 00:19:25.279 --> 00:19:26.799 He was being chased by the cops. 00:19:27.039 --> 00:19:30.559 And then he saw he didn't realize that the van had a bomb in it. 00:19:31.039 --> 00:19:31.440 Oops. 00:19:31.759 --> 00:19:35.519 So he crashed it into an abandoned building so it didn't hurt anybody. 00:19:35.920 --> 00:19:45.359 But unfortunately, during the time that this comic was written, it was in like the mid, like right around the 2010s, like right before or after. 00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:47.599 So he gets arrested as a terrorist. 00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:51.359 And I believe like there's he gets tortured. 00:19:51.599 --> 00:19:55.119 And then the Green Lantern ring saves him. 00:19:56.720 --> 00:20:16.240 And um the the missed opportunity, at least to me, was that at the time, sparing many of details, his ring was actually combined, was a combination of Hal Jordan and Sinestro's ring. 00:20:16.559 --> 00:20:21.920 Which theoretically would mean that he was somehow similar to both of them. 00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:23.680 Didn't really go anywhere. 00:20:24.160 --> 00:20:30.480 And unfortunately, because of the number of human lanterns, because we're not done, I think there's only two more. 00:20:31.119 --> 00:20:34.480 And I know I don't know a lot about them, so this will be short and sweet. 00:20:35.279 --> 00:20:37.839 Um he kind of gets sidelined. 00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:44.319 Because, you know, when you have eight or nine human Green Lanterns, you don't know what to do with them. 00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:53.039 Um then you you may be familiar only a little bit with Jessica Cruz. 00:20:53.920 --> 00:20:54.960 Doesn't ring a bell. 00:20:55.279 --> 00:21:01.599 Um, she was a Green Lantern with horrible anxiety. 00:21:02.079 --> 00:21:11.200 Because uh a misconception with Green Lantern is that it's not that you don't have fear, it's that you have the ability to overcome it. 00:21:11.519 --> 00:21:11.839 Okay. 00:21:12.480 --> 00:21:24.720 And the at least to me, the most interesting thing about her was that because she had horrible anxiety, she I don't remember what it's called, but like you are afraid to leave your house. 00:21:25.440 --> 00:21:32.240 So she spent who knows how long just living in her house with this Green Lantern ring as her only person to talk to. 00:21:32.960 --> 00:21:40.240 And the Green Lantern rings will talk back to you because they have like mini computers, because like you can scan things or it tells you your power levels, etc. 00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:44.000 But her ring actually kind of like takes on a personality. 00:21:44.160 --> 00:21:59.599 Like, like, like like as a person, like yo inste in instead of like cold just facts, like I I don't have a good example, but and then there was the teen lantern, who's not actually a green lantern, and I don't even know it's still around. 00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:04.480 And then there's one other one, her name was Jo Millane. 00:22:05.359 --> 00:22:15.119 And I know very little about her other than her ring recharge its itself. 00:22:16.319 --> 00:22:17.599 And I don't remember why. 00:22:17.680 --> 00:22:21.680 There are people out there that know it way better than I do how it all works. 00:22:22.319 --> 00:22:22.720 I don't know. 00:22:22.799 --> 00:22:24.880 I just I love I just I love Green Lantern. 00:22:24.960 --> 00:22:30.160 I love I I I like I said before, I'm just happy to see Grant Green Lantern whenever. 00:22:30.240 -->

00:22:38.799 Like I know people, people have said that to them Hal Jordan is the Green Lantern, and everyone else is just sidekicks. 00:22:39.200 --> 00:22:49.119 And I don't think that's fair, but I will say that a lot of the time when they try to move away from Hal Jordan, the story always comes back to him. 00:22:49.519 --> 00:22:58.079 You know, I like that Emerald Twilight, he died, he was dead for a while, then he was brought back, and then he was one of the main focuses. 00:22:58.559 --> 00:23:05.680 There was um Well, it's just like how can you really get away from a character whenever they were the first character? 00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:06.559 Right. 00:23:06.880 --> 00:23:10.640 And nobody stays dead in the DC universe, so no, they don't. 00:23:10.720 --> 00:23:17.920 And it's it's like if you decided, okay, we're gonna create this whole new Batman universe without Bruce Wayne. 00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:20.319 It's like, uh, how can you do that? 00:23:20.559 --> 00:23:20.880 Right. 00:23:21.359 --> 00:23:25.200 Or yeah, we're gonna do this whole Krypton thing without Clark Kent. 00:23:25.440 --> 00:23:25.759 Yeah. 00:23:26.079 --> 00:23:49.759 You you you can't because Clark Kent's the origin, you know, he's the original Krypton Superman, and Bruce Wayne is the original Batman, and you know you you you always have to circle back around to what the original creator of all these different superheroes did. 00:23:50.079 --> 00:23:50.400 Yeah. 00:23:50.720 --> 00:23:57.519 And if you if you don't, then you know it you can look at like, okay, we're going to expand and we're gonna create something new and fresh. 00:23:57.759 --> 00:24:07.759 But then, okay, so but then we're essentially thumbing our nose at the guy that came up with all this stuff. 00:24:08.079 --> 00:24:09.279 Sure, yeah, yeah. 00:24:09.759 --> 00:24:21.920 Um plus, you know, in the real world, then you got, you know, okay, so you want to do this, but then you have to get into licenses and legal rights and all kinds of stuff like that. 00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:27.839 So I mean, you do have big, you know, you do have that part of it as well. 00:24:28.079 --> 00:24:35.920 So yeah, we want to go and create this whole new thing, but we need a license to do it, so DC's gonna get involved and be like, okay, you could do this. 00:24:36.079 --> 00:24:39.920 But here's about four strings attached to it that you have to do. 00:24:40.079 --> 00:24:42.000 And by the way, Hal Jordan's one of them. 00:24:42.240 --> 00:24:42.559 Right. 00:24:42.720 --> 00:24:56.079 And they they um that's that's the other trope, also, is that much like let's get Hal Jordan out of the way, another common trope is that in DC, they're like, we don't know what to do with this character. 00:24:56.240 --> 00:25:00.480 Let's either give him the speed force or a lantern ring. 00:25:01.119 --> 00:25:12.960 Um because there's also I last episode there was a couple of lantern rings I forgot to talk about, but um, there's

only one that I want to talk about briefly at the end. 00:25:13.279 --> 00:25:15.279 But um actually because it ties in. 00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:17.119 Well, see, why don't we go ahead and do that? 00:25:17.279 --> 00:25:23.119 I will, because I want I just want to also, just for a second, uh, just a couple of things I wanted to hit on. 00:25:23.279 --> 00:25:24.559 You talked about Krypton. 00:25:25.039 --> 00:25:27.839 Are you familiar with the race called the Daxamites? 00:25:28.079 --> 00:25:28.640 No, I'm not. 00:25:28.799 --> 00:25:37.039 The Daxamites are so you know how um there's Krypton and then there's uh Kandor? 00:25:38.319 --> 00:25:40.799 Daxamite is another planet like that. 00:25:40.960 --> 00:25:41.119 Okay. 00:25:41.279 --> 00:25:45.599 So who was the Green Lantern for the sector that Krypton was in? 00:25:46.079 --> 00:25:47.599 I was about to get to that. 00:25:47.759 --> 00:25:52.960 I was about to say, because yeah, I was that was he asleep at the wheel or something, whatever the planet exploded. 00:25:53.119 --> 00:25:58.799 I believe it was Retcon that he tried to save the planet, but he like he couldn't. 00:25:58.960 --> 00:26:01.359 Like he either didn't get there in time or he was unsuccessful. 00:26:01.519 --> 00:26:03.440 That was Tomar Ray, the bird one. 00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:04.079 Okay. 00:26:04.319 --> 00:26:09.359 At some point he dies, and then his son takes over, Tomar 2. 00:26:09.519 --> 00:26:13.039 But if you didn't know that, you wouldn't know because they look very similar. 00:26:13.440 --> 00:26:22.559 Um, but anyways, the Daxumites, there is a Green Lantern of um of uh Daxum, or from Daxum. 00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:30.079 They have the same powers as Kryptonians, except instead of Kryptonite being their weakness, it's actually lead. 00:26:31.279 --> 00:26:39.359 Oh which in s in Krypton, lead is like a shield from Kryptonite. 00:26:39.599 --> 00:26:39.759 Yeah. 00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:45.200 So just kind of an interesting he um he also became Ion at one point. 00:26:45.599 --> 00:26:49.440 Um he I don't know what he's up to anymore. 00:26:49.519 --> 00:26:52.000 He was he he was in the comics for a while, then he was gone. 00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:52.960 Doesn't matter. 00:26:53.039 --> 00:26:56.559 Um, it doesn't matter, but not for the purpose of the conversation. 00:26:56.880 --> 00:27:08.720 And then I kind of just real quickly just wanted to kind of talk about the human lanterns and all the different rings they've worn. 00:27:09.920 --> 00:27:13.920 So Al Jordan, obviously, Green Lantern. 00:27:14.720 --> 00:27:19.440 Um last episode we talked about how he was a red lantern for a little bit. 00:27:19.839 --> 00:27:26.079 He was a red lantern in a the comic book series about the Injustice games. 00:27:27.039 --> 00:27:30.640 Um then he was briefly a Green and Blue Lantern. 00:27:31.200 --> 00:27:32.640 We talked about that already. 00:27:32.960 --> 00:27:44.000 And then I how many there's there's there's

there's there's many others, because also his ring, he's had a ring a couple times that was not connected to the Green Lantern. 00:27:44.480 --> 00:27:47.519 Like on two occasions he just made his own ring. 00:27:47.759 --> 00:27:50.480 Um, and then yellow. 00:27:50.640 --> 00:27:54.960 That that was I'll hit all those at one time. 00:27:55.599 --> 00:27:59.839 So then Jon Stewart, he obviously green. 00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:11.920 Um, he I think in a in like an not an Else world else world, but like a non-canon story, he wore a pink lantern ring for a minute. 00:28:12.640 --> 00:28:26.640 Um the only two rings of the two that I can think of is he was a purple or indigo lantern. 00:28:27.839 --> 00:28:32.319 Um for a couple of reasons. 00:28:32.799 --> 00:28:39.440 But he um he also was an ultraviolet lantern. 00:28:39.759 --> 00:28:40.880 Okay, interesting. 00:28:41.279 --> 00:28:47.039 You're probably wondering what that is, and I'll be honest with you, so am I. 00:28:47.440 --> 00:29:01.759 I've tried to do so much research into this that like when they introduced the ultraviolet lanterns, they were like, this is a big deal, and I cannot find anywhere online how it ends. 00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:05.440 They kind of just dropped it. 00:29:05.599 --> 00:29:10.880 Like, the only interesting thing about that is that they don't wear rings. 00:29:11.200 --> 00:29:11.519 Okay. 00:29:11.759 --> 00:29:22.319 When he was picked to be an ultraviolet lantern, um he had it was a tattoo instead of a ring. 00:29:23.119 --> 00:29:32.400 And then when they just dropped the whole idea of the ultraviolet lanterns, he was able to use the tattoo as a ring. 00:29:32.480 --> 00:29:34.720 He was able to charge it and it was green instead of purple. 00:29:34.880 --> 00:29:35.680 Doesn't matter. 00:29:36.000 --> 00:29:36.720 Moving on. 00:29:36.799 --> 00:29:58.640 Um, Guy Gardner, he was obviously green, then he was a red lantern a couple times, and he also wielded rage and greed, like at the same time. 00:29:59.599 --> 00:30:04.240 Um he had a yellow ring, but like I said, it was this was before the Sinestral Core. 00:30:04.400 --> 00:30:06.079 It was just his own thing. 00:30:06.400 --> 00:30:24.480 Um Kyle Rainer Kyle had a green ring, then um he didn't actually change rings, but he was able to access the other emotions through his green ring. 00:30:24.799 --> 00:30:28.079 And then his green ring turned into a white lantern ring. 00:30:28.480 --> 00:30:32.079 But he also previously, for a hot sec, was a blue lantern. 00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:39.839 And then that's uh Jessica Cruz, I think, became a yellow lantern at one point. 00:30:40.079 --> 00:30:43.440 I don't know if that's still canon or what happened with that. 00:30:43.759 --> 00:30:51.839 Um she also um was, I guess, also a villain called Power Ring. 00:30:53.039 --> 00:30:54.640 I'm not super familiar with that. 00:30:54.720 --> 00:30:56.640 I'm not gonna even pretend to regurgitate it. 00:30:56.960 --> 00:31:04.559 It's amazing how many different directions this I'm just gonna put it, franchise has gone. 00:31:05.680 --> 00:31:11.039 And it's just like it anyone can just kind of show up and like, okay, we're gonna do this now. 00:31:11.440 --> 00:31:11.920 Oh, right. 00:31:12.000 --> 00:31:15.839 And like the problem is like we're gonna now have the neon green lanterns. 00:31:16.000 --> 00:31:19.599 There's a chrome lantern, there's a gold lantern that's apparently joy. 00:31:20.079 --> 00:31:20.640 I don't know. 00:31:20.799 --> 00:31:26.079 I don't, you know, you know what's funny is that you know how I saw this on TikTok. 00:31:26.240 --> 00:31:41.359 You know, like if you pick something like Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokemon, whatever, you know, you take like what we know as a kid, and then try to get into it now as an adult, and it's so different, and and like it's the same thing. 00:31:41.440 --> 00:31:46.880 Like, I read Green Lantern from 2011 to 20. 00:31:48.079 --> 00:31:50.400 I think it was right before 2020. 00:31:51.599 --> 00:31:56.960 And so I've I've just kind of watched and followed up on things, but like not as closely as I would like. 00:31:57.119 --> 00:32:04.079 But yeah, all of a sudden they're like, there's a gold lantern, there's a chrome lantern, there's a gray lantern. 00:32:04.160 --> 00:32:06.640 He is sorrow, but apparently he's the only one. 00:32:06.799 --> 00:32:09.599 Um there's an invisible lantern. 00:32:09.680 --> 00:32:10.480 Uh right. 00:32:10.799 --> 00:32:16.720 And then and then okay, well, this this one color didn't work out, so we're gonna create a variant of the color. 00:32:16.799 --> 00:32:20.480 So we now have 14 karat gold lantern. 00:32:20.960 --> 00:32:21.519 Exactly. 00:32:21.680 --> 00:32:26.799 There, you know, um, there's the podcast, um not to be confused with 28 karat gold lantern. 00:32:27.039 --> 00:32:37.759 The uh the b the the uh blog of OA, when they or podcast of Oa, they were talking about that too, how there's you know how many lantern colors, etc. 00:32:38.079 --> 00:32:41.680 And they dubbed themselves the sea foam lanterns. 00:32:42.240 --> 00:32:42.559 Alright. 00:32:42.960 --> 00:32:44.079 But it was just them. 00:32:44.319 --> 00:32:51.599 It never but like if I if I ever had the opportunity to re write a Green Lantern story, I want to put the C foam lanterns in there. 00:32:51.759 --> 00:32:59.200 But um I and then I guess that's I guess I guess that's probably everything I wanted to say. 00:32:59.519 --> 00:33:07.680 I say, I mean, that we are getting as convoluted as the Green Lantern core is at this point, so yeah, I I just I don't know. 00:33:07.759 --> 00:33:09.599 I I I love I love the franchise. 00:33:09.680 --> 00:33:11.200 I love the idea of it. 00:33:11.359 --> 00:33:14.400 Um it's kind of limitless when you think about it. 00:33:14.880 --> 00:33:16.720 Which which is really cool. 00:33:17.359 --> 00:33:29.279 But can be very dangerous
