No way-ay-ay-ay |
No way-ay-ay-ay-ee-ay-ee-ay-ee-ay |
There are more things I know |
You can take the dinner leftover from last night |
I made you your favorite goodbye |
'Cause baby now that you're caught what am I supposed to say |
We went so wrong, that what you did |
But I still feel this way |
I can't believe it or forget it, what I saw today |
And if you're wonderin' if I'm staying |
The answer is no way |
No way-ay-ay-ay |
No way-ay-ay-ay |
No way-ay-ay-ay-ee-ay-ee-ay-ee-ay |
Ehh-ehh-ohh-noo way |
No way |

YMMV / Green Lantern |
Go To |
Comics |
• Anvilicious: When Robert Venditti started his run on the main Green Lantern book after Geoff Johns' departure, his first story arc revealed that excessive use of the emotional spectrum was damaging the fabric of reality itself and would eventually bring the universe to an early death. This led to the introduction o... |
• Author's Saving Throw: |
• Fans rebelled so much against Hal's Face–Heel Turn that the Parallax possession was eventually created to explain it. |
• In an issue of Wizard magazine, Johns stated he also used the Parallax entity as to explain why Hal is such an idiot in the Denny O'Neil/Neal Adams issues with Green Arrow. |
• Broken Base: |
• Fueled largely by DC, who shunted Hal Jordan and the rest of the Corps out of the spotlight to make way for Kyle Rayner, who himself was counter-shunted when Hal Jordan returned and Kyle became a supporting character. |
• The Green Lantern books not being affected by the New 52, at least less so than other books (Alan Scott, the original Green Lantern, now no longer exists on Earth 1, which DC keeps pushing as the main/primary universe, which seriously alters the back story of Kyle Rayner since Alan was his mentor, and had his sex... |
• The famous O'Neil/Adams run in the '70s. Some find it to be a trailblazing work of art for being one of the first superhero comics to take a stance on real-world issues like racism and drug abuse. Others find it a sentimental narmfest due to the fact that these issues have since become old news in pop culture. |
• Complete Monster: |
• Ayria, from Green Lantern Corps Quarterly #7's one-shot "Triumph of the Will", is a vicious, corrupt Green Lantern who uses his powers to oppress the residents of Aegri Somnia. Ayria has his forces brutally slaughter their way through the rebelling yellows on Aegri Somnia 2, resulting on millions of casualties on... |
• Mongul II is a case of Overlord Jr. at its worst, and has dedicated his life to aping and surpassing his equally unpleasant father, Mongul I. During his first appearance in Green Lantern, Mongul II used the Black Mercy plants to trap Hal Jordan and Oliver Queen in a fantasy world; he subsequently murdered his sis... |
• Continuity Lock-Out: There are about a half a dozen or more series running with the storyline weaving in and out of each one at random. The storyline that started with Series A will continue along its course into Series B, C, D and friggin' Z and by the time it veers back into Series A the very next issue won't pic... |
• Crazy Awesome: |
• Larfleeze will steal the coat off your back and claim it was his all along. |
• And Dex-Starr will puke explosive blood all over your new shag carpet unless you buy him the right catfood. |
• Salaak, with the whole "robot catgirl threesome" thing. |
• Creator's Pet: |
• Dwayne McDuffie had Green Lantern John Stewart, though this was largely part of self-fulfilling prophecy; some fans didn't like Stewart for the way he leapfrogged Kyle Rayner (previously established in the animated canon) and longtime comic GL Hal Jordan to be the Justice League Unlimited Green Lantern. This led ... |
• One could argue that the Green Lantern has been a source of shilling the creator's pet since the 90s. Start with Kyle Rayner replacing Hal Jordan and the writers trying to shill him to win over the fan base disgusted by Hal's Face–Heel Turn in Emerald Twilight. Fast forward 10 years, and a number of those fans ar... |
• Interestingly, a few writers did make Kyle work for his place in the DC Universe. A number of writers, like Grant Morrison, had characters like Wally West look down on the rookie Lantern for just being there and made to bust his chops to earn his place in the greater scheme of things. |
• Geoff Johns's Hal Jordan can come off as this at times. He's the Greatest of the Green Lanterns (and he is constantly told so) and he can be as much a jerkass as Guy Gardner but he is rarely called on it. |
• Dork Age: |
• Guy Gardner's "Warrior" incarnation, though he also underwent a whole lot of Character Development during this time. |
• The post-Johns New 52 ongoings, for introducing stupid concepts (the rings are actively destroying the universe), stupid villains (Relic) and just dumb creative decisions that were already proven to be bad ideas (making Hal the sole Green Lantern). Most of the creative decisions were undone for DC Rebirth. |
• Ethnic Scrappy: The Silver Age Green Lantern Hal Jordan had an Inuit sidekick called Pieface who served as his mechanic. Today, he is strictly called Tom Kalmaku and depicted with respect as an engineer. In a retelling of Hal's origin, the "Pieface" nickname is used by a jerkass rival pilot. |
• Fair for Its Day: |
• The characterization of Tom "Pieface" Kalmaku in the 60s. One one hand, the character was a minority in a highly skilled position at Ferris Air, spoke excellent English, and became Hal Jordan's close friend and confidant. On the other hand, his nickname was "Pieface" (as in Eskimo Pie), and he liked to exclaim "g... |
• The famed Green Lantern/Green Arrow series by Denny O'Neil and Neal Adams was lauded in its time for being one of the first attempts by superhero comics to address real-life social issues. But today it looks pretty hacky and heavy-handed overall, with overwrought speechifying and overdramatic plot twists. It also... |
• Carol Ferris was always Hal's girlfriend, and like many Silver Age comics, he engaged in Super Dickery to toy with her over whether she preferred Hal or Green Lantern, as well as generally manipulating her for his own amusement. Outside of her ties to Hal, however, Carol was strikingly progressive for a late-50s ... |
• John Stewart's earliest appearances were little more than Angry Black Man stereotypes, but John was also shown to be objectively correct in his anger (just short-tempered). He was also always the most-educated of the earthbound Green Lanterns, being an architect when Hal was a pilot who never attended college and... |
• Faux Symbolism: It's been suggested that the Emotional Entities have Biblical origins, even though having existed for as long as life has, they've been around a LOT longer than humanity, and couldn't possibly have been created by them. |
• Foe Yay: Between Hal Jordan and Sinestro, according to Yaoi Fangirls. |
• Genius Bonus: Sinestro is usually depicted as wearing his ring on his left hand. For those unfamiliar with Italian (or Latin), the masculine for "sinister" is "sinistro", which means on the left hand, but also wrong, perverse, unfavorable, etc. |
• Harsher in Hindsight: During the Blackest Night, Guy and an Indigo Lantern teamed up to fight black lanterns. This was before it was revealed that the Indigo Tribe targets sociopaths and forces them to feel nothing but compassion. |
Guy: Still feel compassionate, Munk? |
Munk: Always. |
• Hilarious in Hindsight: |
• Flash once had a villain called the Rainbow Raider, who could make hard-light rainbows and induce emotions in people by coloring them. He'd fit right in with the emotional spectrum retcon, but sadly, he's dead, so the only time he's been used since then was as yet another Black Lantern. |
• Similarly, there's the Outsiders member Halo, who has has a multicolored aura. Each color has a different power, except violet which brings out an alternate personality, just like with Carol Ferris in her earlier Star Sapphire incarnation. |
• There was an episode of Aladdin: The Series which featured multicoloured emotion-inducing rings – including a yellow one which made you cowardly, an orange one that made you self-destructively greedy and a red one which made you suicidally angry – well before the Red and Orange Lanterns, and quite probably the mo... |
• In the very first comic featuring the Green Lantern (then the first incarnation of Alan Scott, when the green light was connected to chinese folklore rather than the Emotional Spectrum), the Lantern's green light was reffered to as "queer". Flash forward to 2012... |
• In Rebirth, Ganthet tells Kyle that "hope is meaningless against fear". The guardian would later go on to co-found the corps channeling the power of hope itself. Depending on how much Johns planned in advance this may or may not be intentional. |
• Ho Yay: |
• Guy and Kyle's close relationship is interpreted this way pretty often, even by non-fangirls, especially after Kyle died and Guy was so heartbroken at losing his friend that he attracted a Red ring and went on a rampage. Seconds before this happened, he could even be seen holding Kyle's hand and crying. |
• So much of it between Bleez and Fatality. Actually, considering her unwillingness to ever take a suitor, it isn't unreasonable to assume Bleez may actually swing that way. Fatality is one of the only beings Bleez has willingly shown her face to. |
• Soranik Natu and her sector-partner, Princess Iolande, had shades of this in Iolande's first appearance. While rings tend to fly onto fingers when they select a new candidate, Iolande's entry into the Corps is by Natu manually sliding the ring onto Iolande's finger. Iolande's wearing a white dress at the time, ma... |
• Green Lantern and Flash always tend to evoke this, no matter which Flash or Lantern it is. Alan/Jay, Hal/Barry, Wally/Kyle and Wally/John in the DCAU, etc. Bart and Guy are the only two who don't have this with anyone from the other side of the dynamic, mostly because Bart is too busy having it with Robin and Sup... |
• Jerkass Woobie: |
• Like You Would Really Do It: Killing Hal and Sinestro in the 2012 Annual... Or rather, keeping them dead beyond the Rise of the Third Army event, with most fans expecting the characters to return during the latter stages of the event. They were right on Sinestro, Hal had to wait a few months longer. |
• Magnificent Bastard: Sinestro is Hal Jordan's personal nemesis, and both a former Green Lantern and planetary dictator. Convinced that the Green Lanterns have failed in their mission of bringing order and security to the universe, Sinestro formed his own Sinestro Corps, and led them into a war against the Green Lan... |
• Memetic Badass: |
• In certain sections of the Internet, Rot Lop Fan is this, being a Green Lantern despite not even grasping the concept of "light" or "color" because his race sees with sound. |
• Guy Gardner is a straighter example, one which would delight him immensely if he knew about it. |
• Memetic Mutation: |
• Hal sure does get hit on the head a lot, doesn't he? |
• "Help me, Green Lantern. I have no arms." * PUNCH!* |
• The color-coded rings have spawned a takeoff of the "Advice Dog" meme. Examples: |
• Hal Jordan WILL FUCK ANYTHING! |
• RAGECAT. He's in ur sector, killing ur Lanterns. |
• "Mogo doesn't socialize." |
• Kyle Rayner has a poison dick. It's often joked that dating Kyle is the equivalent of signing your own death sentence. |
• Misblamed: When McDuffie took over the Justice League of America comic, he was told to use John instead of Hal as the Justice League of America's Green Lantern on orders from above (partly because Hal was being given HIS JLA TEAM!). Sadly for McDuffie, fandom took the change badly, not helped in the least by the fa... |
• Moral Event Horizon: |
• Krona reprogramming the Manhunters to slaughter a sector just to prove a point. |
• The Guardians mind raping Ganthet for having a personality, following War of the Green Lanterns. If not that, then powering up Black Hand so that he can kill both Hal and Sinestro to get them out of the way before the Rise of the Third Army event starts is definitely this. Even the mere premise of the Third Army ... |
• Black Hand killing his family as a prologue to the Blackest Night, simply because Death told him too. Given Flashpoint and Green Lantern v5 #11 showed us that simply dying is enough to "rise", it counts. |
• My Real Daddy: The entirety of the modern Green Lantern mythos has Geoff Johns, but particularly Hal Jordan and Sinestro. For many readers, he is the Green Lantern writer. |
• Narm: Some of the Silver Age plots have not aged well at all. |
• The first version of the Star Sapphire's origin have them chose Carol Ferris as their leader on the basis that they have to chose a leader who looks exactly like their previous leader. Yeah... |
