Why are the Green Lanterns suddenly DC's equivalent of Jedis now?

>>87922589
I thought they were the equivalent of Jedi back in the Kyle era.
>An elegant weapon... for a more civilized age

>>87922589
The Jedi and Green Lantern Corp are both space cops in a certain sense. Jedi are obviously more Knights than cops but they both uphold peace and order if it's within their power to do so.

>>87922589
They were always DC's Jedi.

>>87922589
It's better this way

>>87922589
Is that Abin Sur ?

>>87927315

When isn't it Abin Sur?

>>87922589
Because it's all Lensman at the end of the day.

>>87922589
volthoom power ring also has a prison dimension inside the ring for all the deceased former wearers of the ring

>>87922589
>now

>>87922589
What the he'll do lanterns even do? Do they have restrictions on what they can police? Is war illegal? Why haven't they launched themselves at Mongul or Darkseid?

Why do you come to the comics board if you don't read comics?

>>87930318
you could at least try. They have fought mongul, the problem is he controls an entire planet and they can't just waltz in and dethrone and emperor then leave. Same with Darkseid, except Darkseid is even stronger.

>>87930318
>Mongul
...Really? Mongul and GL related characters fight often.

>>87930318
Mongul started a Superman villain, moved to a Green Lantern villain, and now he's a Green Lantern villain's villain. Sinestro has beat his ass like three times now then he took over Warworld

Green Lanterns came first the jedis are the knockoff

>>87927315
Yes

Apparently the only dead lanterns that meant anything significant to Hal were Abin Sur and Tomar Re

>>87934503
Is that, you know, wrong?

>>87923706
But they existed before Jedis so how could they always be Jedis if Jedis weren't there?

>>87934551
I guess not, now that I think about it

He was pretty tight with Katma Tui but she's more associated with John now

>>87927457

This.

>>87930318
They have fought many space tyrants, but this is comic books killing of good villians means you will have to create just as good a one every other issue.

They are basically space UN.

He was too good for us.

Man I want to get back into green lantern, but Dc keeps shitting them out so fast I can't keep up.

Right now is pretty ok, I mean sure Hal is kind of dead but clearly he will be back soon and hopefully getting together with Sora, besides Baz and Jess are actually pretty funny to read.
Sadly it seems Kyle will be present in the next issues of HJGLC.

>>87936814
Hal is barely human anymore, he likely has the power to respawn.

>>87936814
At least John isn't marining a lot.
Guy's arc when?

Green Lanterns were a lot of things.

Hal's most recent fight with Sinestro was very DBZ-esque powerlevel silliness (I mean this in a good way).

>>87922589
Considering D*sney has thoroughly butchered the actual Jedi setting, somebody's got to pick up the slack.

They were always Jedi
