#blue lantern corps

[justwannabecat]

Danny knew that he couldn’t let himself lose control.

Ever since Vlad had gone too far, and he had lost his family, he had to remind himself that things were going to be better, to have some hope for the future.

It didn’t seem to matter when he was filled with such all-consuming rage though.

Still, he found a couple of magic rings. He hates wearing them, they hurt so much, but he needs the power boost they give him.

He will not fail again.

(Or; Danny is both so angry, yet has such hope for his future that both a Red and a Blue Lantern Ring choose him at the same time.)

GREEN LANTERN THE ANIMATED SERIES FANS WHERE ARE YOUUUU???

I really wish DC would give us a blue lantern comic. There's just so much potential.

You could have a civilian become so inspired and hopeful from the presence of a green lantern in their region that a blue ring chooses them. This gives your blue lantern all the fancy powers from the start.

Or you could give someone a blue lantern ring without a local green lantern, and theyd still get the flight, force field that protects them from space, and a universal translator. This allows for the hero to grow in power later, but they can still be a small time hero at the start.

You could tackle depression and anxiety and how they affect hope and hopelessness. You can give these to your blue lantern and then make incredibly solid representation of the treatments for them. Like, imagine your hero's ability to fight being so strongly tied to their mental health? AND it could be inspirational for those of us with those conditions to gain or maintain hope, or to seek out treatment that works for us individually. And beyond the representation, it would allow for so many avenues to create conflicts and drive the story forward.

There's just so much potential there and it kills me that it's not being fully utilized

Razor from Green Lantern TAS is a fantastic proof of concept for how interesting blue lanterns can be, as is Saint Walker.

“Need back up?”

“I’d never say no to some extra help!”

In stressful day, and sleepless night, I find my power in spite of plight. So with this mantra I recite, Watch out nerds, Blue Lantern's Light!

idk a lot about Thomas Kalmaku. I know the basics, like his Inuit heritage (which meant, for decades, writers referred to him by the racist nickname "Pieface").

I know what I read from the '80s NEW GUARDIANS comic (wherein he was stated to have the latent metahuman superpower to "bring out the best in people", which I take to mean superhuman psychic power to inspire hope and/or awaken potential; he was intended to help lead mankind, but denied that destiny to stay with his family).

And though he still isn't a superhero himself, Tom is a long-time friend of Hal Jordan, found inspiration in him & at one point, has expressed interest in being a Green Lantern.

If ever DC Comics decides to introduce an Earth-based Blue Lantern (the Lantern Corp whose color is tied to hope), it should definitely be Thomas Kalmaku.

Saint walker looks stunning in thigh highs…. That’s it that’s the post I just needed to say that

I've already done one on the Star Sapphires (Violet Lantern Corps)

Makoto but he gets a hold of a blue lantern ring.

Aka the ring of hope.

And it's fitting not just for that.

The blue lantern corps were created by exiled guardians wanting to reform the green lantern corps.

They can remove rage from a person by empowering them with hope. And make yellow rings (fear) ineffective.

And are the most difficult ring to master.

... And if that doesn't fit Makoto I dunno what does.

Even the fact blue rings need a green ring (willpower) on their side, coincides with Makoto finding his strength in his friends.

Makoto: a blue lantern ring pops on his finger, and he somehow knows what to do In fearful day, in raging night, with strong hearts full, our souls ignite.

When all seems lost in the War of Light, look to the stars raises arm up to the sky as blue light shoots out for hope burns bright!"

DC Dimensions project plan: Razer (Vol. 1)

This series is not an assured project. It is a concept that can still be changed or scrapped.

Synopsis

Years ago, Razer departed Oa to search for his love, Says. On his journey, he is attacked by an Ultraviolet Lantern called "The Hopeless One" who is determined to thwart his endeavor. We can only wish that Razer's hope is strong enough.

Characters

Razer - A former Red Lantern who became a Blue Lantern. He lost his love, Aya, during the Great Manhunter War. Now he scours the universe to find her consciousness.

The Hopeless One - A mysterious Ultraviolet Lantern who does not want Razer to find Aya.

Other Information

The series is meant to follow the events of Green Lantern: The Animated Series, although Anti-Monitor's involvement is excluded.

Should have gotten this set years ago, tbh. They look so much nicer in person than the online photos used to advertise them

i don't understand blue lanterns

this is a genuine question: can someone please explain blue lanterns to me? relying on the power of hope doesn't make sense to me. like green lanterns willpower evokes determination and like indominable human spirit which functions on a scale. you can be more determined than another person.

but how do you hope harder than anyone else? does hope not require you to not know for certain? if a blue lantern where to know something to be true, can they no longer hope it into existence? do you simply hope you can shoot a beam out of your ring? what happens when you get used to the ring working and you no longer hope it, you expect it? how can hope be a reliable power source?

the other emotions (besides black and white) can be felt on a scale but i cant fathom how hope could even reliably function. are there explanations? what are your interpretations? please help me
