i get why everyone wants to moralize the gl corps into space explorers but realistically it’s still just going to be the same level of “progressiveness” as before. like park rangers: the green lantern edition is still going the have the common tropes where they head to an alien planet → meet the local population → inevitably get mixed up in a problem → superheroes function as superheroes do → oh wait, this is a cop allegory again! i mean cmon wtf are they going to do in space if they’re not going to fight ppl. none of them know jackshit about galactic wildlife they’re getting poisoned if they try to repopulate an endangered species or some shit like that 😭😭

#i really like the idea of post-parallax gls being made up of independent vigilantes who found rings and started to make it work for them #and maybe some bitter old guards make up the gl corps again but its nothing compared to the galaxy at large #like kyle is exploring the galaxy like he did at the end of gl1990 #hal is operating as spectre or as he did in renegade where he's kind of just an intergalactic fugitive with a homemade osha violation ring #guy runs his bar on earth but keeps getting roped into wacky adventures. def has a reputation of being a criminal b/c of lobo and gnort.#and john is the jla lantern who spends most of his time as an architect and volunteering in the community rather than going into space #idk id have to worldbuild it more but it is my perfect idealized world that does not exist godbless <3 #plus i just feel like you can tell more impactful stories where the context hasn't been changed but god knows that never happening again so #.thoughts #dc
