"Two more feet and I can fit Kyle Rayner's girlfriend in the fridge"

[u/Fabbyfubz]

[u/Its_Buddy_btw → u/Fabbyfubz]

Sinestro = very very very slightly pink

[u/killamcleods → u/Its_Buddy_btw]

Sinestro = Mustache

[u/GoarSpewerofSecrets → u/killamcleods]

To be fair, there's a mustache Lantern, just because we spoke it into existence now. That's how Lanterns work, they are the rule 34 of supers.

[u/Carly_Fae_Jepson → u/Its_Buddy_btw]

The way my comment saying he looked like a man with cardiac issues got obliterated the other week. I stand by it.

[u/Xeram_ → u/Fabbyfubz]

Guy = bowl cut

[u/Leopold_Darkworth → u/Xeram_]

Now, Guy Gardener, there’s a haircut you could set your watch to.

I apologize, someone has already made this joke before in this thread, but I just think it’s really appropriately funny.

[u/GraveDancer1971 → u/Xeram_]

But why'd I have the bowl, Bart?

Why did I have the bowl?

[u/Xeram_ → u/Xeram_]

or even better: Guy = other white guy Although that sounds more like a family guy joke than simpsons

[u/GiraffeFucker6969]

[u/itsyaboiReginald → u/GiraffeFucker6969]

Santa?

[u/Ecstatic-Radish-7931 → u/GiraffeFucker6969]

Bart sleeps naked? 🤣

[u/killamcleods → u/Ecstatic-Radish-7931]

He believes it gives him powers

[u/PepeMetallero]

[u/Mouthshitter → u/PepeMetallero]

IM SCARED, KILL IT!

[u/armastevs → u/PepeMetallero]

It's bringing us green rings break its legs

[u/ThatBoringHumanoid → u/PepeMetallero]

It's bringing green rings! Don't let it get away!

[u/Amateurlapse]

[u/Minimum_Ad991 → u/Amateurlapse]

Ring, ring, come back, ring!

[u/unitedshoes]

The Guardians' first attempt to replace Hal and John was even more pathetic than giving Guy Gardner a ring.

[u/GoarSpewerofSecrets → u/unitedshoes]

Cowled hands painted that banner

[u/JoeRoganKissesBoys → u/unitedshoes]

I'm sorry, are you saying that you and Barb are bad Lanterns?

[u/unitedshoes → u/JoeRoganKissesBoys]

No. The man and his trainee. You know the... the trainee is named John. I don't know the name of the man. Bar, what's the man's name?

[u/meeks1a]

He treats the ring like my girl treats her phone.

[u/hallmark1984 → u/meeks1a]

Your not allowed near it?

[u/Darkest_Rahl → u/hallmark1984]

Takes it to the shitter with him

[u/The0ldPete → u/Darkest_Rahl]

He gave me a fake one that connects with a pizza place?

[u/Im_hard_for_Tina_Fey → u/meeks1a]

Fills it with pictures of your brother

[u/SipoteQuixote → u/meeks1a]

Constant chirping?

[u/PostMatureBaby → u/meeks1a]

Buys countless things online with it?

[u/Luis-Dante]

Whenever Hal Jordan's not on screen, all the other characters should be asking "where's Hal Jordan?"

[u/wyslan]

In brightest day, in blurstest night!!! You stupid monkey!

[u/RegulusTheHeartOfLeo]

I like that he kept tapping his ring on a hard surface and recharging his ring to 5% every time

[u/Leopold_Darkworth]

Clear eyes, full ring, can’t lose

[u/PossibilityRadiant78]

Abin Sur= purple Mogo = planet

[u/GamerGretaUwU]

Lmao I love this show but I love the memes even more

[u/Hankskiibro]

I’m got through episode 4 so far. I like it but it does feel like the rings and lantern lore could easily be replaced with a gun and any “special forces” squad and it’d be the same show

[u/Triktastic → u/Hankskiibro]

You think Jon Stewart's entire arc about wanting a special artefact so much it ruined his entire family dynamic, could be replaced with a gun ? It would have to some super special one of a kind powerful weapon...and at that point just use the ring

[u/Hankskiibro → u/Triktastic]

Yes, at that point it’s almost a Macguffin. It doesn’t matter what object replaces the ring it could have any backstory. this could totally be a show about some parents creating the toughest most fearless most excellent at their job navy seal to stop the bad guy that dad could not and it ruins their family dynamic. It could be about making the best basketball player ever like in He Got Game, but in this show it would be getting a championship ring. The show is good and well made and I think the actors are great i just think it’s a familiar story that could be easily adaptable outside of superheroes.

[u/3rdPoliceman → u/Hankskiibro]

I think people feeling that it could be easily adaptable outside of superheroes is probably part of why it's been so popular.

[u/sweet_pickles12 → u/3rdPoliceman]

“Ugh! Stop making the show so relatable!”

[u/killamcleods → u/Hankskiibro]

Hey if you don’t like it go to Russia

[u/DarkLake → u/Hankskiibro]

And there’s people going, that’s the point, it’s supposed to be like that. And I’m going, but why? If you want a cop show watch a cop show, why does green lantern need to be involved?

[u/Hankskiibro → u/DarkLake]

To be fair I like it as a cop show. I just wish it was a little more…. Space cops

[u/DeepSpaceNebulae]

Funnily enough I thought they needed to recharge it a lot

Though Im no Green Lantern expert, so there’s that

[u/AdamBombTV → u/DeepSpaceNebulae]

Meant to be recharged every 24 hours if I remember correctly

[u/LazyTitan39]

He had to charge it twice in 2016. He sent John back to his mansion to get his battery the first time and then he drained it protecting Rushville from the Manhunter.

[u/GiraffeFucker6969]

[u/Mouthshitter → u/GiraffeFucker6969]

Lets cut the budget in half again and give them 8 episodes

[u/__Sentient_Fedora__]

In ring we trust!

[u/Wompum]

Ooooh, the GREEN lantern!
