In marvel its considered hick's ville and in one future/eality it's destruction caused the galactic community to pause and throw a fricking celebration holiday.
In marvel its considered hick's ville and in one future/eality it's destruction caused the galactic community to pause and throw a fricking celebration holiday.
DC Earth is the Somalia of the universe. A backwards tribal nightmare full of nonstop wars and chaos with thousands of superpowered people beating the shit out of each other almost daily. While a few of the scariest beings in existence hang out there fairly often. when the shit does spill out from it, it usually fricks over the rest of the universe and blows up other planets.
Marvel Earth is the Afghanistan of the universe. Smack dab in the center of a major hyperspace crossroads and all the big space empires want it as theirs, but everyone that tries taking it gets their shit pushed in. Including cosmics and abstracts. All the biggest terrorists with the highest bodycounts come from there. too damn many important players in space civilization come from there so it cannot be ignored either.
Usually most of these guys don't all operate on Earth at the same time
Some are stationed on Oa or with the GLC
Jo was in Far Sector
Alan isn't actually part of the Corps
And Sector 2814 is bigger than just Earth so someone could be patrolling while someone else is on Earth
Earth has more superheroes and supervillains than the rest of the universe combined and a decent number of them are planetary level threats or worse. Also, whenever there's a major crisis you can bet Earth's at the center of it. So yes, it really does need that many Lanterns.
Then Earh need to be placed in it own contamination for the safety of the rest of the universe. If I was a extremely powerful reality warper, I would exile the solar system.
In DC earth is like storing your most precious valuables with country hicks because you don't trust the banks, no one would look there, and everyone who can crawl is armed with muh guns.
Problem is that Earth has a lot of extremely powerful reality warpers on it, and they can manufacture more of them with their meager technology too.
Their backwards sticks and bones tech level still lets them make as many Captain Atoms, Firestorms, and Amazos as they want. Nothing stopping them but general want to do it.
this is before we get around to the few millions magic users present there.
Which is funny because a writer can leave their mark by just making something people like. Geoff Johns is the most relevant GL writer of the past 20 years and he did it with Hal forget that he made Simon and Jess for no reason years after
Guardians probably know Earth is super duper special snowflake planet that the universe hinges on. It is also the detroit of the galaxy.
Tossing a few extra guards at it is logical. Besides Hal, Kyle, Guy, and John have each pulled off some miraculous wins for the corp. Why wouldn't they want as many of these prime lanterns around as possible?
They do know that, the white entity lives there, and two of the other color entities come from there as well. The Guardians have to keep Earth safe or all life will end.
This really was the worst green lantern run ever
Didn't give us anything good, drawings were awful
Ok I lied it gave us one good thing, sexy yellow lantern Jessica
The fact that Earth has 8 Lanterns and they all only operate in North America is easily the worst part. At least go to a different country and fight evil.
Kind of goes for most of the heroes we see. You see the occasional throw away scenic shots for disasters or the token hero from a country, but it is almost always north america. Usually DC, New York, Metropolis, or Gotham.
They might do Britain if they are feeling creative.
There was a Russian Green Lantern in the 90's. Bendis' OC is from Bolivia.
Historically, Earth's first Green Lantern, back in the 7th century, was Chinese. There was also a book last year that revealed there was a Vietnamese Green Lantern who operated in secret so that the enemies she made in outer space couldn't connect her to Earth.
Earth is both the home of the Life Entity and the center of the multiverse, if it’s destroyed in the right way the rest of the multiverse goes with it,
>such a galactic hotbed that requires multiple space cops with some of most powerful personal weapons/tools in the universe >people stuck in it, with no hint of space exploration >things like a city ridden with crime, with a murder dressed as a clown being chased by a rich guy in a bat costume is a serious issue >literal doorway to space exploration and expansion >guy makes a boxing glove with his reality defying personal tool to protect "coast city"
Sigh...
Back in The Blackest Night or The Brightest Day it was stated that Earth was hidden from the rings because it was a home of the White Entity. They didn't want to bring any attention to it. When Abin Sur crashed on Earth and Hal Jordan got the ring the barrier broke and many other humans got into the Green Lantern Corps.
Humans are special, because Earth is special, because the Entity.
There have been a couple Red Lanterns from Earth
Dex-Starr, Rankorr. Guy was temporarily a Red
And Supergirl was a Red as well but she's not from Earth
Jessica Cruz was a member of the Sinestro Corps last time we saw her but there was a bitt of a time skip between the end of Thorne's GL and Dark Crisis, so she might be a Green again
Carol Ferris should still be a Star Sapphire, but I can never keep up with what her status quo is
There was a human red and Dex-Starr is actual an earth cat.
Orange is just Larfleeze.
Yellow is mostly monsters.
Blues are mostly dead.
Indigo are brainwashed criminals.
Carol Ferris is violet.
Black and White aren't really a thing since their events.
Jo, the non canon lantern that is now canon but just as fricking meaningless.
The newest Green Lantern that is non-binary and potentially a lesbian black woman.
she is also a huge b***h that when she was the only lantern with a working ring, decided to do nothing at all but sit around on OA and be "in charge" letting about a third of the GLs die in space over the course of a year.
No wonder why the Green Lanterns are terrible at their job. They are short staffed, overworked, underpay, and have to the annual bullshit of the Oan Guardians doing something incredibly moronic that it threaten the universe... again.
No wonder so many went and made their own corps. Being a gl is being abused.
I really wouldn't mind if they retconned "space sectors" to cover only the Milky Way, because making it cover the entire universe is completely moronic. The Milky Way already covers 100-400 billion stars, so you could bump up the number of lanterns per sector to like one or two hundred and it would still probably be understaffed.
I feel like they did this in the cartoon, but yeah makes more sense.
Honestly even if they had ten thousand lanterns per sector it wouldn't be enough
You could probably argue the Guardians know of all the inhabited regions and prioritize which areas to focus on.
The Corp makes small comments from time to time about some areas being shitholes or quiet zones. And the rings have a large database of known planets.
Because I am a HUMAN and I want to see chad HUMANS conquering the world with their alpha genes and traits and making weaker alien shits submit to them. If you're a species traitor who jerks off to xenos, go have a nice day you fricking worthless waste of air. HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BETRAY YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY homosexual??? YOUR ENTIRE FLESH AND BLOOD??? TO DENOUNCE WHO YOU ARE AS A PERSON???
Humans being the center of the universe is ALWAYS justified because it should pander to humans and not some fricking moronic aliens that don't even exist.
It didn't work because MUH DEAD PARENTS and he had a Sinestro Corps ring for a second but that rejected him because he wore that GL ring for a brief time. And there was a time during Sinestro's comic in the New 52 when he brought in a lot of heroes as Sinestro Corps lanterns, including Superman, who I believe was losing his powers at that time. Also, the Guardians don't like giving rings to people that won't come to them whenever they call. They barely tolerate Hal and Guy.
>Wake up >Oh hooray I survived yesterday's alien invasion. Thank you Justice League!

Also, I miss Ferrin Colos. It was cool to see an alien lead a space book.
Because DC Earth is a worse place to live than Marvel Earth. And this is excluding the fact that the DC Multiverse tend to collapse onto itself.
Both company's earth is a shit hole.
In marvel its considered hick's ville and in one future/eality it's destruction caused the galactic community to pause and throw a fricking celebration holiday.
What story is that party in? Sounds awesome.
Pretty sure he's talking about Hulk: The End
So a non-canon story.

thas a suspicious amount of women
...two?
Yes, since women are roughly half of the population, it's weird that they're only a quarter of those lanterns
To become a Green Lantern you have to turn down a triple fudge chocolate lava surprise cake on your birthday.
It's funny because that's actually kind of accurate
I generally avoid the Green Lantern franchise but I was under the impression that Star Sapphires steal most of the women.
Usually most of these guys don't all operate on Earth at the same time

>Usually most of these guys don't all operate on Earth at the same time
Yeah, but why so many from 1 space sector.
And why so many selected from the same planet in that sector.
Doesn't each individual ring try to find the most courageous person at a given time in its sector?
It factors in proximity and the race of the last lantern to wield it as well.
>the rings have race confirmation bias
that's kinda funny
The other planets in the sector aren't as life-having.
A lot of Lanterns tend to die on or near Earth and so their rings look for suitable nearby replacements.
Earth has more superheroes and supervillains than the rest of the universe combined and a decent number of them are planetary level threats or worse. Also, whenever there's a major crisis you can bet Earth's at the center of it. So yes, it really does need that many Lanterns.

every hack writer wants to leave his "mark" on the title, same goes for the Robins.

missing the best one
This really was the worst green lantern run ever
Didn't give us anything good, drawings were awful
Ok I lied it gave us one good thing, sexy yellow lantern Jessica
Does she even exist anymore?
She was in the last GL book right up until the end
Jess seems to have mind raped her into a permanent trauma coma.
Adult woman head on child body wtf?
I don't get it, which one is supposed to be the Guardian
Read the Fourth World. Earth has always been the most important. The rest of the universe matters less than Earth.
This should answered your question:
The fact that Earth has 8 Lanterns and they all only operate in North America is easily the worst part. At least go to a different country and fight evil.
The op is missing like 2 or 3 lanterns
Kind of goes for most of the heroes we see. You see the occasional throw away scenic shots for disasters or the token hero from a country, but it is almost always north america. Usually DC, New York, Metropolis, or Gotham.
They might do Britain if they are feeling creative.

Sigh...
Previously, it had a bunch of people because it was the home of the entity of White light (life). Don't know if that's still true though.
Yes, earth is comic book Afghanistan, Rich in raw resources but not advanced enough to use it, so conflict
Back in The Blackest Night or The Brightest Day it was stated that Earth was hidden from the rings because it was a home of the White Entity. They didn't want to bring any attention to it. When Abin Sur crashed on Earth and Hal Jordan got the ring the barrier broke and many other humans got into the Green Lantern Corps.
Humans are special, because Earth is special, because the Entity.
Why doesn't Earth have any other lantern color?
post here explains it
Whenever they attempted sales weren't it
There have been a couple Red Lanterns from Earth
Dex-Starr, Rankorr. Guy was temporarily a Red
And Supergirl was a Red as well but she's not from Earth
Jessica Cruz was a member of the Sinestro Corps last time we saw her but there was a bitt of a time skip between the end of Thorne's GL and Dark Crisis, so she might be a Green again

I thought John Stewart used the Godstorm to recreate the Blue and Violets
who the frick is bottom right
Jessica Cruz II: Eclectic Boogaloo
Jo, the non canon lantern that is now canon but just as fricking meaningless.
The newest Green Lantern that is non-binary and potentially a lesbian black woman.

>Based Carol breasts
actually, the DC universe is far bigger than the observable one. There have been statement about trillions of light years.
Because I am a HUMAN and I want to see chad HUMANS conquering the world with their alpha genes and traits and making weaker alien shits submit to them. If you're a species traitor who jerks off to xenos, go have a nice day you fricking worthless waste of air. HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BETRAY YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY homosexual??? YOUR ENTIRE FLESH AND BLOOD???

Humans being the center of the universe is ALWAYS justified because it should pander to humans and not some fricking moronic aliens that don't even exist.
>no Jade or Charlie Vicker
They didn't even get all of them.
Here you go.
>and that's when i realized just how far the lantern brand had fallen
Why isn't Batman a GL by now? The whole Justice League should use Lantern Rings like Legion flight rings at this point, they're handed out like candy
>Why isn't Batman a GL by now?
What could go wrong?
It didn't work because MUH DEAD PARENTS and he had a Sinestro Corps ring for a second but that rejected him because he wore that GL ring for a brief time. And there was a time during Sinestro's comic in the New 52 when he brought in a lot of heroes as Sinestro Corps lanterns, including Superman, who I believe was losing his powers at that time. Also, the Guardians don't like giving rings to people that won't come to them whenever they call. They barely tolerate Hal and Guy.
He is actually really bad at using a ring.
Why is kilowog there?
Kilowog immigrated to Earth in the 80's when his original planet was destroyed.
So does the ring only choose fitness models or do you become fricking Zyzz tier just by getting a ring?
The former. The Guardians have a "no fatties" policy, though they'll make an exception if you're willing to share.
Sucks I'll never get one, but some what BASED on the guardians part
Center of the Universe.
That's such a great way of putting it.
>Is earth the ghettos of the universe?
Yes, and it's canon.
Half of those huys aren't even on earth half the time
It takes multiple lanterns to bring down a kryptonian
Not true. All it takes is for one to not do anything at all.
>center of the universe
>life entity
>has the highest concentration of metahumans and conflicts
>chosen ones
>comic is made by earthlings
>Wake up
>Oh hooray I survived yesterday's alien invasion. Thank you Justice League! Shame I have no home
>Sleep in a hostel
>Shitty situation but at least I dont live in Gotham which has 5 super terrorism situations going on at once. (Gotta give ALL the Batfamily something to do after all)
>Wake up in your home as the universe collapsed and rebooted itself and now things are different
>Go to work
>You dont work there in this universe
>I guess its back to job searching
>Get wiped from existence as the universe collapsed in on itself again
Because over millennia the Corps did just fine without human Lanterns but now they can't wipe their butts if there is not at least one earthling in the ranks.
Because we have reached a point where every new writer DC hires needs to invent their own special OC
>Robin
>Batgirl
>Green Lantern
and those roles are now the dumping grounds for minority points they can brag about on twitter.
Wasn't there another Earth Lantern back in the 80s, I want to say it was a blonde actor dude. The only reason I remember it was because I heard Weisman a as planning on putting him in animated show years back.
Also, I miss Ferrin Colos. It was cool to see an alien lead a space book.
That's Charlie Vicker. He's the guy with the red bandana around his neck and sash around his waist in
there isn't any in universe reason writers just want to make their own Oc lantern.
