Halfags.

>>81862376
SJWs whining about "muh shitty female characters" and "muh fridging". Also Halfags, who are the second most obnoxious Lantern fanbase, second only to Johnfags.
>>
Buenofags
>>
Partially because there's two completely different generations of readers who identify Hal as "their Lantern".
Partially because some writers seem to think that the only way to make Kyle interesting is to make him the most powerful Lantern (Ion, White Lantern)
Finally there's the people who just make jokes because of his appearance in Hitman.

>muh Halfags boogeyman

Maybe people don't really care for Kyle as a character? I guess it's easier to just spew buzzwords though.

I really don't see much Kyle hate at all on /co/ to be quite honest
>>
>>81862402
Sorry, let me correct myself: Johnsfags. A lot of people here have only been exposed to Geoff Johns' GL and don't bother to read much else of it. On top of that there was a rough patch lasting around a year recently where Kyle and Carol were dating which also rustled people's Jimmies. Rather than blame it on a writer making a bad decision (the rest of the run wasn't that bad) they blamed Kyle himself.
>>
>>81862482
Then you've never been in a GL thread.

Do Bazfags even exist?
>>
>>81862491
>Rather than blame it on a writer making a bad decision (the rest of the run wasn't that bad) they blamed Kyle himself
They always do this, funnily enough. "Writers keep killing off Kyle's love interests? It's Kyle's fault!" "Writers keep shitting on other characters to prop up Kyle? It's Kyle's fault!" But Jade is a cheating skank and suddenly that's on the writer, funny how that works.
>>
>>81862547
At least John has fans. Nobody gives a shit about Baz.
Maybe once Green Lanterns starts, although I wouldn't be surprised if Jessica gets fans instead.

I've never actually seen anyone blaming Kyle in particular for this. And definitely not on this board. Halfags are the culprits here.

I haven't seen Kyle hate here.

But I have recently seen a persecution complex among folks directed at "halfags".

>Then you've never been in a GL thread.

why would I? The GLC is in its worst state since pre-Emerald Twilight, and Venditti is still on the main title post-Rebirth. Maybe if something decent was being storytimed.

But hey, feel free to strawman however you want if it helps justify your persecution complex about a fictional superhero

There's three generations like that. And two of them identify Hal as their lantern.

Do you like Baz more than the rest of Earth lanterns?
More than even the rest of the GL corps?

I don't hate him, but I don't particularly care for him either. Dude took it like a bitch when his lady cheated on him, made it his fault, and kicked him out of his own apartment.

>>81862547
I do like Baz but I'm more of an alienfag. The most abused part of the Lantern fanbase
>>
>>81862376

Not hate, but he is usually the least favourite human Lantern (before Baz was introduced). Hal is what a lot people grew up reading plus he is the star in Geoff's GL run. Guy has always been a fan favourite. And John has the DCAU creed.

Kyle hate is a long standing tradition that goes back to 1994.

Hating Kyle led to the formation of the internet's first comic based autist group.

>>81862769
Learn some reading comprehension lil guy, I never said I don't enter GL threads. But I posed the question that, as a GL fan, why would I bother? Take this thread for example. It's filled with a vocal minority bitching about some non-existent conspiracy of "Halfags" that are "hating" on Kyle.
More likely it's a bunch of trolls/shitposters that are on your level and keep baiting you, like the guppies you are.

If you really like Kyle so much, fucking storytime the Marz run. Plenty of people here would appreciate it. There isn't some kind of agenda against Kyle.

But I guess in the end it's easier for people like you to piss and moan about such trivial shit. Instead of actually reading and discussing comics.

He really mellowed out in Warrior and it did wonders for him. He got a bar, good friends who would go on archeological adventures with him and the edgiest powers a man could have. His brother did get killed by a dream eater and his girlfriend got murdered and no one told him but hey, you gotta lose some to gain some.

>>81863370
I enjoy Guy as a dick with a heart of gold but guy in the 80s was just a straight monster. He fucking laughed in Johns face when they told him that Katma was murdered and they were having her funeral. I don't understand how anyone could like him back then.

Going through Morrison's JLA, why are Kyle and Wally filled with as much hate as their fans are?
>>
>>81862376

He's a boring character. The same can be said of nearly all the human lanterns, but him and John are just especially boring for me.

And then there's also the fact that he's the most super-special snowflake in the entire GL corps for some reason.
>>
>>81864317
Wally doesn't think Kyle has earned the right to use his ring considering Hal was like an Uncle to him while also being a complete rookie. They hash out their differences when Alan and Jay show them what true friendship is and eventually become very good friends.

>>81864437
>And then there's also the fact that he's the most super-special snowflake in the entire GL corps for some reason.

I always see this but no one ever follows up on it except with White Lantern business. In 30 years if that's the best you can pull out, he's not exactly a mary-sue special snowflake.
>>
>>81864512
Remember when Jade died, and then Kyle became a god?
>>
>>81864437
Most of Marz's run is about how shitty Kyle is. I mean, I'm a huge Kylefag, but he gets his ass kicked by almost everyone. He's the most special because he's the one that goes through the most growth.

>>81864512
Is that in JLA, Wally's Flash, or Kyle's GL?
>>
>>81864609
Yea, remember how he had it for all of 12 issues before Sinestro killed his mom and took it out replacing it with his own Aspect?

>>81864641
Mostly in JLA but they both appear in eachothers book. Their first teamup was in Wally's book when Sonar started taking a shit on Central City and it left a bad impression on Wally about Kyle.

Kyle is the most interesting Lantern. A random slacker learning to shoulder the weight of the most powerful weapon in the universe with nothing but his willpower and imagination and gradually transitioning from being consistently way out of his depth to being at home amongst the Gods of Earth makes him the most three dimensional earth Lantern by far.

I've heard this so often that I'm pretty sure this is why it's not surviving 12 issues.
>>
>>81864317
Don't quote me on this but Wally was not impressed with Kyle because he understandably had such respect for Hal and thought he could never live up to his legacy. I think Wally initially rebuffed him and Kyle took it really personally because they were the two closest members age personality and legacy wise and he was desperate to connect with someone on the league. Which is why they eventually became the best Green and Red duo.

>I always see this but no one ever follows up on it except with White Lantern business. In 30 years if that's the best you can pull out, he's not exactly a mary-sue special snowflake.
He was the ONLY Green Lantern for years and he had a super special ring, being told he's going to surpass everybody and be the greatest, getting the Ion upgrade and bringing the GLC back nearly single handedly, he gets Ion'd again later

That was all pretty tame and standard power creep until the New 52 where it felt like they started trying to over compensate and you get the retcon that he was specifically chosen by some prophecy instead of being randomly picked, then you get the White Lantern training arc where he's super special and unique because nobody else has ever felt two emotions before, then there's the stupid reservoir thing where Kyle is ultra special and nobody else has ever gone through the source wall before ever, then Carol starts literally sucking his dick for no reason

I felt ambivalent about him until New Guardians then he just started being annoying because they had to shoehorn him into being the most important person ever at all times

Kyle is one of my two favorites Earth Green Lanterns. Why the hell people hate him? He was pretty cool in JLA and all Green lantern stuff in new52. Still, I can't forgive him for stealing Carol Ferris from Hal. Goddamnit, why did they do that?! Kyle was fucking perfect shy modest guy and now he is asshole, while Carol is whore. Goddamnit, I hate all what happen after Wrath of the First Lantern
>>
I don't hate Kyle in particular, I don't like Green Lanterns in general.

Something about their power seems comical to me. I don't know, it just looks comical to me when something like giant bat or chair gets created by this ring. I really just can't explain it, but something prevents me from taking them seriously.

I mostly see it as a reaction to Kylefags being the biggest babies in the world.

When Hal came back, Kyle STILL always had his own book for years straight and kept getting new powers and shit but nothing was ever good enough because in their minds, Hal was still stealing all of Kyle's spotlight because to them, he should always be the main character of the franchise, maybe even going so far as to believe he should be the ONLY one like when he was created and fuck the entire rest of the corps apparently.

Hal is a fighter pilot action figure with the corresponding personality. Guy is an asshole. John Stewart is an architect. Kyle is the only one who can't be summed up in a sentence. You could say he's an artist but that isn't his lone defining characteristic.

That's not even a real phrase. Go bait someone who will fall for your lazy shitposting

Are we talking about Kyle or Hal "LITERALLY THE GREATEST GL EVER" Jordan?
>>
>>81866267
Yeah, you're just a cunt that can't handle any sort of negative opinion on his husbandu. Fuck off.
>>
>>81866237
Maybe. But even that is only a piece of his character and alludes to way more thematic complexity than the other Earth Lanterns.

Nerd gets a ring and has to prove himself

>>81866206
You're taking into account most of Kyle's development and storylines when you say that but at the same time you're ignoring everything Hal/Guy/John have gone through for the sake of simplifying them.

shut the fuck up cullen bunn.

>>81867799
But how have any of those characters grown or changed? More fearless? Less of an asshole?
>>
>>81868726
Guy has mellowed out compared to how bad his jerk tendencies were back in the day.
>>
You need something done. Ask Guy.

Kyle would fuck it up with angst.
Hal would fuck with Sinestro instead.
Guy would do the fucking job.
>>
>>81870076
What about John?
>>
>>81866324
Kyle "WHITE LANTERN JESUS" Rayner, of course.
>>
>>81870112
John would kill its planet.
>>
>>81870076
John will keep crying about Xanshi. He had no development recently.

I wish we would have more Simon Bazz. A pragmatic lantern is a good idea.
>>
He's been like the chosen one like 3 or 4 times.

What? He is the exact opposite of angst. John is angst incarnate.

This shit felt like a /b/ thread, with John as the attention whore suicidal tripfag and J'onn as the anons shouting "DOO EET FAGGOT"

Cosmic Odyssey.

I reverse google image searched and that came up, and I thought it was Comics Odyssey, like a shitty website someone was trying to promote, and that's why I asked. Thanks man

There's a lot of events that had to have happened a certain way for this joke to make sense, and I'm glad I live in the universe where all of those events happened.
>>
>>81868726
John started off the hotheaded rookie, eventually his ego got the better of him and he fucked up massively, now he's more temperate and a little hardened

Guy started off as a massive asshole with a huge chip on his shoulder, he eventually mellowed out when he got some much needed camaraderie and understanding from Ice and others

Hal starts off as cocky super confident guy, eventually realizes he doesn't really know shit about shit and he does try to improve himself although he fucks up a lot

I wonder what the reaction to Rebirth was.

>>81870076
Nigga, Guy "I'm so in love with Kyle I went Red Lantern when I thought he died" Gardner would fuck it up, too.
>>
I like Kyle the best, but it's almost like a joke at this point, like "Looks like Kyle's OP as shit AGAIN."
>>
>>81863422

Injustice, but then he died.
>>
>>81874143
Why does Kyle get shit for this when Hal's just as bad?
>>
>>81875650
How is Hal just as bad? What's the last super special snowflake thing Hal has done? Killing Krona?
>>
>>81875650
Kyle has a reason he's OP.
He's the only GL, now he's Ion, now he's every fucking color at once, now he's the goddamn White Lantern.

Where Hal gets away with it because "he's just the best", fucking blowing away a Guardian because he just has SO MUCH WILLPOWER.

I'd rather say Kyle is Ichigo, because he's a fucking human, and a Shinigami, and a Hollow, and a fullbring, and a Quincy, and probably a few more things.
>>
>>81877316
i mean its the same shit
an increasingly compounded list of contrivances doesnt make for good characterization, and hal having more than a handful of stupid moments doesnt make kyle any less of a fanfiction-y self-insert
looking at their whole history neither of them are very good characters but at least hal has redeeming moments
>>
>>81862376
Kylefags are very much like Jason Todd fags. They only value when their pet character is treated like a special flower, and bitch when they're used in a legitimately good story
>>
Blue lanterns are so much cooler
>>
>>81878434
As a Kylefag and a Jasonfag, I don't understand your criticism here. Jason's constantly getting BTFO, that's part of his character and part of why I like him.

The only bitching I do as a Kylefag is when Johns is telling me that Hal's the best lantern BECAUSE HE JUST IS, I'd be perfectly content with all of the earth lanterns at the same power level.
>>
>>81880113
I was honestly kind of pissed off when they turned Kyle back into Ion after Infinite Crisis, because he was so good in the GLC mini that kickstarted the ongoing. And also because the art in the Ion mini was fucking terrible and his new costume never seemed to be on model.

The problem with Kyle is that his entire life is all about getting infinite power and then losing it before he can really do anything.

He was the super-godlike Ion after the thing with the Starheart, so he powered himself down. Then he became Ion AGAIN, after he realized Ion was a green whale.

So Sinestro kicks his ass, and he ends up as Parallax. (Which was actually pretty cool, because Parallax has that very 90's Venom aesthetic.) After THAT, Kyle becomes the White Lantern the hard way. It's not really impressive, given how half-assedly he mastered the emotional spectrum. ("Okay, got Hope now. Boop boop boop.")

In EVERY clash, he always gets punked before he can do anything with it. Even the White Lantern basically did nothing against the First Lantern. He just kind of got his shit slapped in before Hal showed up to save the day.

I like Kyle, really. But the poor bastard has a hard life.

That mask looks fucking dumb

>The problem with Kyle is that his entire life is all about getting infinite power and then losing it before he can really do anything.

It's more of a meme than anything. He's had this happen twice. First time as Ion when he willingly gave it up because he didn't want to pull a Parallax and decided instead to restart the corps and the second time as Ion when Sinestro made him his bitch and ripped that shit out of him. People like to joke about him gaining god like power all the time but it's barely happened.

Boring too

I never cared about him before, but damn do I like him in Omega Men.

Fuck you

>>81865846
Yeah, but Aquaman is actually a bad-ass, while Hal is just a jackass.
>>
>>81872225
orgasms everywhere.

watch if i ever write for DC im bringing up kyle as the main and destroying the fear bug excuse.

a whole new era of hal autists shall begin.

Where's Kyle going to be after Omega Men?
>>
>>81875457
You know your universe is fucked when GUY GARDNER is the sane voice in the room.


But really Guy & Kyle were the best together. They had a great good cop/bad cop dynamic.

>>81872511

No Guy would do something that involved property damage. But get it done.
