Having the Life Equation was causing issues and he divided that up amongst seven new White Lanterns, who have never been seen again. He’s back to being green.

Guy’s run as a Red was super interesting to read imho. Then they did a thing where all of them got pulled into the past, and Guy was simultaneously wearing a green and red, and then lost the red and went back to full time green like nothing happened and everyone just forgot the Red’s technically own the sector of space where Earth resides and Green’s aren’t allowed in it thanks to Guy. There’s been occasional mentions of the Red’s since, and they’ve got some weird stuff going on, but with no book of their own there’s few details of what exactly.

HIGHLY subjective.

Lance845 wrote:Hal is a lunatic that killed a world because the GL corp wouldn't resurrect a city.


Try looking at the entirety of Hal's mythos, not just a gakky story by a gakky writer trying to be the next Alan Moore. Ron Marz was on record in interviews saying that he didn't like GL as a character, and his first item of business was to kill him off. He also stated that damn near every other character that he'd be offered he'd kill off the current character and simply make another, usually with some change to their power status quo since he's a fething hack who can't write to save his life. Need proof? Look up the Living Bomb storyline for The Silver Surfer. Hell, Marz wrote out the ring's weaknesses solely because he was too incompetent as a writer to work around them.

Lance845 wrote:John is pretty great, but kind of dull and dutiful. Better support as mentioned above. He was great in the JL cartoon.


John is a great character because of his faults. He got an entire planet wiped out because he overestimated himself. It's kind of a pivotal moment for the character.

Lance845 wrote:Kyle has both the best will, the most interesting internal conflicts, and has the most creativity with his constructs for external conflicts since hes an artist and comes up with all kinds of wild and crazy stuff.

Kyle Raynor all the way. Oh yeah, his GL costume is also the best.



So the fact that you have an artist who actually gives effort to drawing the constructs establishes the character? Horse gak. You want a good appraisal of Raynor's character? Find the issue where Felix Faust appears and regains his memory. The comic starts with a homeless guy getting abducted by magical creatures right outside Raynor's apartment. The very next day he's bitching to one of his supporting cast about how he didn't get much sleep because someone was screaming outside his window in the middle of the night. LITERALLY every GL in existence, yes, even Guy Gardner, would have flown out their window to see what the hell was going on. Kyle Raynor was a petulant slacker child until Judd Winnick turned him into an SJW, and THEN the whole Ion garbage. I freely and proudly admit to signing the online petition back in the 90's to bring Hal Jordan back.

feth Kyle Raynor.

I do really like Jessica, but her backstory is really convoluted. Her gimmick is that she's a lantern that lives with PTSD, but the actual reason such a person has a GL ring involves an evil ring from a parallel universe that possess people broken by fear. It's a good story but not high on my list of things that should be made into a mainstream film.

Kyle is fine. Emerald Twilight is terrible, but Kyle himself is a solid character. His main problem is just that he's 100% cliche teenage boy stumbles upon a wizard who gives him magic powers to save a far off kingdom from destruction. I actually think he would have paired reasonably well with Ezra Miller's totally not Barry, Barry Allen.

Guy is a fun character when you need what he has to offer. Like John I think he's great in a team. Really though, of the 6 Earth Lanterns, I feel like Baz has struggled the most to find a unique voice. Johns wrote him well, but not for very long and it doesn't feel like the writers who have picked him up since really know how to to define him.

Agreed. Deadpool would be nice and probably have tea with her. I cannot guarantee Guy wouldn't attack and/or kill her.

We'll find out soon enough eh.

To get off the tangent - as someone who was never hugely into the comics barring the odd issue of Spiderman and 2000AD, what's the deal with the Kree in terms of powers? 'Cos so far in MCU tales, we've had "magic healing blood", "bit stronger than humans but will struggle with a C-tier Asgardian/Quake", "able to hold an Infinity Stone without dying(for some reason)", "telepathic and telekenetic" and now "magic blood that gives you a sparkly mohawk and superpowers".

So, are they basically like humans in terms of the distribution of "abilities", but with a slightly higher baseline for mooks?

Kree are generally human, but their homeworld has a higher base gravity that makes the average Kree stronger than the average human. Kree suffer from genetic stagnation and do not naturally evolve. Instead they've taken to heavy genetic experimentation, often by kidnapping other races and experimenting on/with them to find things they can incorporate back into themselves. This tends to lead to a lot of one off results that don't apply to the race as a whole. Most of the experiments that have been applied to the general populace are stuff like toxin immunity.

I'm pretty sure Ronan should only be able to hold the Infinity stone for any length of time while also holding his Univeral Weapon. That thing can redirect a ton of energy and makes the most sense in terms of how he can wield it.

Don't forget also that there's an entertaining aspect of Kree society. Most Kree have blue skin. Caucasians exist in their species, but they are the victims of prejudice and oppression.

Oh sure. And add another GL and I think that's your 'Lethal Weapon'-style story. Vet and rookie GLs working a case together. Heck, make it tie back to Abin Sur's death so that you can bring in elements of Hal's origin and tie it to John's origin.

To be fair, Captain Marvel (at least the Mar-Vell version) is one of Lee's more derivative characters. Lee took GL, turned the ring into bands, and gave him the name of the magic lightning bolt guy. *shrug*

True. And Marvel even embraced the GL comparisons when Quasar moved into Mar-Vell's role and started making solid light constructs with his quantum bands.

I actually liked the original Wendell Vaughn Quasar, before the quantum bands started bouncing around and things got convoluted. Would be cool to see Quasar show up in the MCU at some point, but I can't imagine it ever happening. The MCU Captain Marvel is already a distillation of all the Mar-Vell related stuff from the comics, so I doubt such a similar character in Quasar would be added.

I believe they realize that introducing someone on the power level of Adam Warlock to just show up in the Thanos movie and fix everything is a generally bad idea. The reason Cap Marvel was saved for after IW and before EG is so that she is established to go and face and be a part of the events of EG. Also, all stories say that Adam was already planned for Guardians 3.

That'd be clownish and hamfisted. As a Guardians villain/opposition, Adam can work with that brief reveal and get a chunk of backstory in 3.

As a last second insertion to defeat Thanos in Endgame, they'd have to establish all the who/what/when/where/whys, justify why he goes from Gold Planet to link up with the Avengers and why he'd even care about Thanos fresh out of the pod. The original comic version with Infinity Gauntlet/Wars had weight on the Adam vs Thanos plot because there were heaps and heaps of backstory (20+ years). The MCU doesn't have that, and stuffing Adam in at the end would cut the legs out under the finale of the last movie.

That ending is already a bit wobbly already since we know all the Stones together have essentially infinite wishing power, but having a new nigh-omnipotent guy show up would really ROFLstomp every emotion they're trying to establish in the Endgame trailer. It wouldn't matter how sad Tony is or how desperate Cap is or that.. uh, Scarlet Witch and Bruce are still... there, I guess? Just popping Adam into existence for Thanos interrupts the Avenger's story and doesn't let Him start one. The ongoing conflict with Thanos was one of Adam's major arcs, just having the resolution and tiny bit of lead-up* as part of the Avengers movie would really short out the whole thing.

*because they still have to follow the story of the Avengers and deal with everything that we see in the trailer and how they get to... that place... where Thanos is.

Also, waiting to introduce Adam Warlock in GotG 3 lets Marvel set up the new team as well as being able to reuse Thanos as a baddie for Adam.

He will definitely be interesting in whatever phase he is introduced in to.

I disagree, if introduced early enough in the film Warlock would still be a viable component and wouldn't get lost in the shuffle.

Based on what? Marvel movies have two modes for characters: hour long backstory before the plot starts, or insignificant nothing characters that the heroes beat up as a prelude (or for Iron Man, as an irrelevant side story to Stark's psychological problems)

As is, they've got to deal with the aftermath of the last film, which if they've got any pretense at continuity and filmmaking, is going to be fairly depressing, and filled with angst and rage, and a lot of talking. We know for a fact that means picking up (or travelling to, which will eat more time) at Avenger's HQ, and for no apparent reason taking time to pick up Hawkeye in a new suit, because gods know an archer who doesn't use a bow anymore is crucial for dealing with a cosmic scale threat. Regardless, presumably that involves dealing with some of the chaos we see at the end of IW (with Hill and Fury), and in the trailer (whoever Hawkeye is fighting for whatever reason, which they ALSO have to establish).

Then the ones on Earth actually need to somehow hook up to the main plot, which has feth-all to do with Earth at this point. This can either be Thor taking them somewhere to find out the plot, or this could be where Captain Marvel links in.

On the other hand, you've got Stark monologuing at least a bit, apparently without Nebula, and both of them need to be dragged back to the plot (also possibly by Captain Marvel). Especially Nebula, as she is the ONLY vaguely emotional connection that Thanos has to anything in the entire universe. As a story element and character she seems pretty vital, as the Avengers going to Thanos' hut and informing him he done goofed doesn't hold any water at all.

Save some screen time with periodic scenes of Thanos and his musing (probably with kid Gamora), so there is actually an element of storytelling when the heroes catch up to him and have a confrontation.

Now add action scenes and something to fight against so there is actually a reason to watch this film beyond characters being depressed and angry (because they've several trillion reasons to be).

I have no idea how you'd propose to jam a new character in there and make him interesting or relevant to any of the dozens of things that are already established, need to be resolved or the various confrontations and dialogues that need to happen.

Movies are put together a certain way to deal with a limited run time (even if a lot of films try to stretch that these days). You can't just ignore everything to drop in Adam and pretend audiences will immediately grasp who he is and why he's there. The (future) MCU version of him doesn't mean squat to Thanos, so it would be a meaningless piece of trivia when it should be something important.

Maybe? Eventually? I could see them using rogue as a way to put Captain Marvel out of the movies when her contract is up.

Honestly Rogues most interesting aspects is not being suped on Cap Marvel powers. It's her personal issues and adaptability. X men evolution had a good rogue and she never had all the power of the 90s xmen cartoon. Rogue has been great in recent years in the comics and she no longer has Danvers powers.


These are my opinions. This is how I feel. Others may feel differently. This needs to be stated for some reason.

Plus MCU Captain Marvel's powers clearly aren't just the power set that Rogue got in the comics. She's tossing a lot of energy around, and Rogue just had the Strength, Invulnerability and Flight.

And she mostly got it for the arc to get her on the X-men and to shuffle the cast around. There was a lot of good drama with her switching teams, and how the X-men dealt with a powerless Danvers, but I suspect the driving focus was to have a Heavy in the lineup when they pushed half the cast off with injuries during the Marauder's attack (Colossus was benched). And to have a character arc-worthy trade-off in de-powering Storm, since Rogue was the theoretical target of Forge's anti-powers gun.
