Welcome to Superhero Ethics 101.
For our lesson plan today, I'm pleased to have Interim Professor Thor join us to demonstrate his applauded "Hit it With a Hammer" technique of moral debate, as demonstrated in this handy Moviefilm.

Later, we'll speak with Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement and Logistics Division representative Agent Phil Coulson about the ethical concerns involved with working for a shadowy government agency that investigates superheroes, hackers, aliens and street magicians. I have been asked to tell you any questions for Agent Coulson must somehow mention that Tahiti is "a magical place."

Professor Rogers is still abroad on sabbatical, but he was nice enough to mail us next year's course plan on Soviet Era medical experiments, giant mysterious airships, and "Hitting Things With Shields."

Professor's Addendum: Though it always helps to make sure those YouTube links are properly formatted.
I've been busy today and haven't had time to try and catch up on it, and may just skip it.
Thor 2 just came out.
It was always there! Who says otherwise? They're expelled!
I actually think that, in theory, having multiple lantern colors is a perfectly fine idea. The problem is that, as you said, the color's associated trait often becomes THE ONLY trait for the majority of its members, rather than the primary trait out of many.
And even then, I think there are stand-out characters within the other Corps. Larfleeze (at least the first few stories that had him) was written pretty well and had a really clever concept. Saint Walker of the Blue Lanterns became one of my favorite lanterns, especially after that one-shot that showed his backstory. The Star Sapphires probably have the largest number of good characters, but they're crippled by some truly embarrassing costume design (and this super-weird idea that males apparently can't embody love, going so far as to make Wonder Woman a temporary Star Sapphire when all the heroes got rings during Blackest Night, despite it not really making much sense for her character). The Violet Lanterns and Red Lanterns both suffer from almost all of their members being incredibly bland.
And then there's the Sinestro Corps, which actually has the benefit of having quite a fairly interesting and diverse cast of villains. Though I suppose that tends to happen when you have a huge arc that pretty much centers on them.
But yeah, it's really irritating to me that the vast majority of the members of the other colors are practically cardboard cutouts.

Additionally, It would be nice of being from another color made any difference at all in how your power ring actually did stuff.
I mean, the Indigo Tribe is sort of different with the staves, but they don't actually do anything the other colors don't all do, effectively.
It's just a fancy costume change because FEELINGS.
But when in the presence of a Green ring, they not only supercharged the Green ring but became more powerful themselves.
It was a neat dynamic!
Which makes me think that Johns actually spent a decent amount of time coming up with the ways to make the corps unique when he started and then just kinda got lazy halfway through.
God damn it DC!
Spoilers under the cut.
Tomasi's run on Green Lantern Corps was tied with Gray/Palmiotti/Conner's Power Girl run for my favorite DC book back in college.
I think most of this is going to be best handled by wikis.
Like, do you want answers, or were you pointing out
Well, rage-blood aside, at least it looks like she's wearing a proper one-piece when compared to her DCnU suit.
Let's Play Final Fantasy 'II' (Ch10 - 5/17/10)
Its hard to tell through all the blood(?)
Uh...
Who...
Who is that?
Look at the shape of the Red Lantern symbol.

It is, but at least one of them is provided in the movie:
Oh fucking hell.
Infinity Stone- The infinity stones are manifestations of different types of power. The Red Stone was apparently the Ether, the Blue stone the Tesseract. There are 6 stones in total, Red and Blue are Power and Mind, respectively. If you will recall, the Mind Gem was the source of Loki's scepter's power and allowed him to control Hawkeye and manipulate the Hulk.
And yes, Thanos wants all of them, that's his whole deal.
It is kind of a lot of new information, but I mean
I think seeing it in something other than it's fluid form threw me off.
Is that...
Because I have not liked anything they have done with that character since like 1975.
They pretty much relied entirely on the color to clue you in. I definitely did not get it after walking out of the theater.
Thanks for filling me in.

I've read a few good things that Supergirl's been in.
It's not like I have a particular attachment to the character; it's mostly the idea that they're making a member of the Super-Family a Red fucking Lantern.
Even if it's just for one issue it's a good example of the type of character changes DC has been making in the New52 that I just despise.
(b'.')b
And you are 100% right about that, the entire Marvel push for the last like... 3 or 4 years has been building towards dealing with
Also can I just say that
If somethings in a spoiler
You don't address what is in the spoiler outside a spoiler
It kinda defeats the purpose
Spoiler
yes, this really happened
"Ta-da."
there's no such thing
I think it's supposed to be a joke?
