misogyny really is a plague because katma tui has the most compelling premise out of all the non-human lanterns (and some of the human ones!!!). she was established as both sinestro's successor and a direct parallel to foil hal lantern upon her introduction. her character progression from irresolution to total devotion to the corps + the wedge it drives between duty and self-fulfillment/love IS the heart of the green lantern mythos. only to be canonized as a doomed love interest and given a half-hearted attempt at readdressing her origins in emerald dawn over a year after her death
#as a character she's so chewy. like katma tui is the platonic ideal of a green lantern to ME#deified as the ghost that perpetually occupies the john-hal-carol-sinestro crossfire (← if she even needed to die. which she didn't)#and not to make this about hal jordan but. her very presence reveals the daunting underbelly of his complicity in the guardian's institutio#which imho punctuates the unbound faith in the corps she develops post-issue 30. ofc as a result of manipulation and indoctrination :}#but it continues beyond discovering hal's deceit!!!! the ends (i.e. the green lanterns' duty) justify the means even at her own expense#*thoughts#🌃.txt
