The color yellow has been the ultimate "Green Lantern Kryptonite" for decades of comic books. But does the yellow weakness exist in the DC Animated Universe, or is DCAU GL OP?

PLEASE, you, and EVERYONE, if you haven't already, embrace the One True Only God YHWH Jehovah, Only One Jesus Christ His Only Begotten Son and Lord and Savior of our souls and the Only One Holy Spirit. God is good. God is love. Jesus is Lord. Jesus IS coming. Your soul depends on it! I have seen God act in my life. He saved my soul, changed my heart, changed my mind, helped people through me, took care of people in my life, people I hurt before I found God. God is the only reason I was able to reconcile with my dad before he died. God worked through Jesus Christ to save our souls. Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins. Believe in your heart and confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and that God raised Him from the dead and you will be saved. Be baptized in The Holy Spirit, and if He wills, water as well. Repent of your sins, accept God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit into your heart, that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins. For God so loved the world that He gave His only Begotten Son Jesus Christ, that all who believe on Him should not perish but have everlasting life. Jesus Christ is The Way, The Truth and The Life. No one comes to the Father Jehovah God but through Him. Not long after I got saved I prayed to God for help understanding the Holy Bible, and that same day someone knocked on my door asking me if I wanted to understand the Bible. The Holy Bible says, "love thy enemy", "turn the other cheek", "If your enemy is hungry, feed him", "if he is thirsty, give him a drink", "pray for those who persecute you", "do not repay evil for evil". LORD willing, all humans may commit sin of almost every kind (gay, straight), and that's wrong, and all humans sin, as God tells us through the The Holy Bible, "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus." The Holy Bible also says, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."

ok but if you think about it Parallax living in the central battery can justify the weakness to Yellow entirelly: - the Lantern rings are connected to the Users mind on a subconscious level, right? - so if Parallax who is the Yellow Light of fear is inhabiting the Central battery then it means every Lantern is subconsciously aware a parallax - the Green light of Willpower weakens when exposed to ANY Fear, not just the Yellow Light of Fear therefore Yellow works on lanterns because they ARE Subconciously afraid of yellow. Why? because Yellow represents the biggest fear a Lantern could ever have: the Fear of Fear Itself

Possible that Parallax in the DCAU is just classified and most Lanterns, like the one in Batman Beyond's time period, were just told something like "The Impurity took millennia of work to remove" without having the nature of what the impurity was explained cause it wasn't important. It's just a little bit of trivia like "In those days we had to deal with X" that the older guys in the Corps joke about.

@ArcDragoon 29 күн бұрын

Because that is exactly how it works. You can overcome your fear, which allows intermittent resilience against yellow. Here, it would be more like yellow gas always worked because John Stewart just assumed that it would in his head, it was a weakness that he made up and the yellow impurity took hold of that. Other times, when he showed weakness against it, was because like the suitcase it was solid yellow and he was aware of it. When it did work against yellow, it must've been surprising for any Green Lantern, but if they tried to replicate it, they wouldn't know why it wouldn't work a second time. The avoidance of it is because at this point, they didn't know about Parallax and hence the exact way to combat it. You instinctively put up a shield regardless if you're weak against it, some times it worked, other times not, and you would never know why, but a 50-50 was better than just taking a hit without trying. Which is why John still avoided yellow beams or tried to throw green energy against yellow shields. A weakness does not have to be absolute.

There was a tie in coloring book for the justice league show. In the Dr. Destiny episode, they made GL’s nightmare that he was trapped in yellow.

Giving the ring weakness to yellow is like taking an ability flaw on a tabletop RP character to get some extra feats. They removed the weakness at the cost of something else when they realized the weakness was too problematic. As for the QOTD, if I had a green lantern ring I would make ... well I'd start making simple shapes in order to feel out the capacity of the ring obviously. You know, kind of like a telekinetic stress ball. Then, since I associate green lanterns with psionics, and psionics with crystals, probably some crystals. But like, what would I WANT to make? I dunno, nothing the lantern rings make is permanent, and it's not like I'm fighting supervillains or anything. I'd probably just use the danged thing to fly.

@ShockWithoutFear Ай бұрын

I think it's also important to mention that the yellow impurity was officially taken away from the GL comics once Kyle took over with the last power ring made uniquely for him. Implying that the guardians had the ability to take away the impurity before the parrallax retcon. I think this had a play in how lax they could be with the weakness in the show and leaving it in as an homage makes a lot of sense. It's definitely there but can fit in the space where the Guardians can take it off once they trust that the lanterns won't turn on them like the manhunters turned on second 666/in dire situations

@safebox36 Ай бұрын

Worth mentioning that, while probably unintentional, the word that "parallax" derives from can also mean "to change" or "to exchange". Which kinda ties in with the idea that a parallax is a change of perspective (whether literal or figurative), and can be seen as relating to anxiety and fear being either a useful survival mechanism or a crux in that moment.

Arguably, the guardian's 'dealing' with the yellow weakness might not have been them just snapping their fingers to remove it, it could have been a battle, even the expression and the way he says it, that they 'dealt with it', treats it like a problem, not an intentional flaw to limit the power of green lanterns.

Maybe it's not a known weakness. Perhaps GL is only weak to yellow if he doubts his willpower. Something subconsciously makes him doubt himself when he sees yellow but he can overcome it by being especially determined. When facing Sinestro, GL is already esoecially deterimed to win so he has a built up defense against yellow. When he us hit with Jello-O, he isnt esoevially on guard so the yellow gets through as he doesnt deem it as a real threat. So, he is only weak to yellow when he doesnt think he will be weak to yellow or caught off guard.

In case anyone's wondering, the art on that Alan Scott part was substandard, because that was work by Mart Nodell, the guy who first drew Alan Scott back in the 40s. He also gave us the Pillsbury Dough Boy. The Alan Scott retcon was, IMHO, a bad idea. Not because I object to Yalan Gur - I like that part - but because of the Guardians being able to switch off the yellow weakness at any time. I sez: Yalan Gur found the Starheart on earth, used it to patch the yellow weakness, and the rest of the story proceeded in much the same fashion (including the Guardians making his ring weak to wood). In other words, the Guardians can introduce weaknesses, but they don't. The yellow weakness, on the other hand, was real.

Just because the bald green lantern says the guardians remove the yellow impurity, doesn't exclude that the yellow impurity was parallax. It just wasn't how Jordan who removed/freed parallax from the central battery. Could have been the guardians who put them in a different cell, or their attempts to stop his influence of instituting the purity caused him to get free, or any other number situations. The situation with parallax could also be a secret and so the average Green lantern doesn't know about it and is just told that the guardians removed.

Now I'm just curious to how a DCAU Parallax story would play out. As for the QotD, I'd probably try making some decent headphones I could sleep in.

@daddysolaire Ай бұрын

QOTD Answer: A panacea medicine (you could immediately start curing preventable diseases with the power of the ring). Also, super nervous that you wouldn't cover the yellow impurity, glad you did. Would have also been cool to mention Black Hand's power over lanterns when mentioning Black Light.

The first construct I made with my ring was a gatlin gun, the second was a guillotine. And yes I was weak to yellow, but only when it came in the form of well fitted jogging pants/shorts with "JUICY" on the rear 😂😂😂

Honestly not sure what I'd make with a green lantern ring, but the ability to just fly away to wherever I desire would be pretty nice.

The first thing I'd make with a GL ring would probably be the batmobile. Just to show what hero's abilities (money) I really wanted.

If I had a Green Lantern Ring, I would probably use a flyswatter as my main tool of choice. But, for the first thing I'd make, it would be a jet.

What an amazing episode

@AlienIOIandroktone Ай бұрын

Yeah I'm guessing from everything that it's there, to an extent, in some GLs, but it's not telegraphed for obvious reasons, and doesn't completely nullify the green energy, just works better against it (& maybe specifically yellow energy/gas, not really solid objects, unless it's jello). I like the idea that overcoming fear is in play too, and DCAU John hasn't really overcome it like his Justice Lord counterpart, but would be immune to the yellow impurity is he was, like Jessica becomes. Then at some point the Guardians are able to remove it completely. Hey maybe Kai Ro is weak to wood

What would I make with a power ring? I'd try to make a prism crystal to see what the hell happens if you force a green light construct to produce other colors.

My answer: If I had a Green Lantern ring I would make an exoskeleton for I could walk when needed or reach things on a high shelf. That or just float everywhere.

First thing I'd try to make with my power ring is one of the cool ideas in my head, like robots or aliens and such. If I could make any of those, I could make anything

@yourconscious Ай бұрын

It may not be the first thing I'd make, but if I were a lantern, I'd absolutely make use of feints. You think I'm hitting you with a construct from the right? No, that one isn't solid. The one behind you is

@TheOvervoid Ай бұрын

My headcanon is that the Justice Lords defeated the Green Lantern, though I don't think it would have been through a head-on fight and more like a calculated plan where they hit the Guardians rather than the actual Lanterns

(also not a US citizen but I wanna answer the QOTD anyway) The first construct I would make would be a cool suit, I have this idea for a trenchcoat & a Daft Punk-styled screen helmet. The second would be a set of tiny tools so I can work on electronics without breaking stuff

I would make more green lantern rings. The Guardians won't be able to stop me if i pull up to oa with seven hundred rings and a cool green necklace.

I do wish that the other lantern cores were a thing in the DCAU. Since blue lanterns usually stop red from working.

@trickponystudios Ай бұрын

I agree the Guardians seeing to it could have just been them spinning the events of Parallax. The first thing I would make with my green lantern ring would be a green scooter and use it to run errands, I am sick of paying for uber lime to get everywhere and a green construct scooter would look just similar enough to not draw notice.

If you have a green lantern ring the first thing you gotta do is explore space or the ocean or basically anywhere you cant normally go - so yeah fly into space is definitely what i would do

This is why I’m glad, they got rid of that weakness in the 90s. Hell, even when it was somewhat brought up in GLTAS, it was due to a toxic mineral that acted as a psychotropic hallucinogen.

I’d probably accidentally make a back scratcher, like I would be sitting there, new power ring, thinking “what awesome thing am I about to build” and then I get an itch and go to scratch and it’s just out of reach and I subconsciously make a back scratcher appear and go to town

I remember that another Alen Scott reboot was that the Guardians had attempted to get rid of magic but were just able to draw all the magic of Oa into the green meteorite and it escaped into space crash landing on earth.
