    As a neurodivergent person who loves music and likes to paint ( I can draw but I’m not really good at it) I love the green lantern lore and I’m one of the few people who understands it. My favorite lantern is John Stewart, I like his personality and he’s the first black superhero I saw on tv teaching me that black people can be superheroes too. I also learned from him that those “tough guys” are not as tough as you think, and to stand up for yourself even if you’re afraid. If you’re afraid something be afraid but do what you need to do anyway.

    Green Latern was pretty quick to rise the ranks of my favorite superheroes back when I first discovered his comics. I didn't really mess with DC that much when I was a kid, since me and all of my friends were much more into Marvel, and all the time they told me I wasn't allowed to like both. But back then, there was just something so alluring about the Green Latern mythos to me, that I finally gave in and decided to give DC a chance just so I could figure out what it was about this dude that I liked so much. And right then, I instantly became obsessed. No joke, I became so obsessed that I actually wished to be a Green Latern. (Mostly Kyle but any of the others would have been cool too.) Not to mention the fact that with my discovery of Green Latern, I was also opened up to the rest of DC's universe as well, so I really owe it a lot.

    *I love the Green Lantern stories so much as well. I was first introduced to Green Lantern by watching the Green Lantern: Animated Series which got me into reading the comics. The Geoff Johns run introduced me to this whole new universe of sci-fi lore, mythology and a deep exploration into the validity and importance of life, our willpower to endure, and our emotions with superb characters and amazing concepts and settings. I love Green Lantern so much Ive even dedicated time to writing scripts for 6 film Green Lantern saga of movies all revolving around GL, with my own ideas, castings and adapting iconic stories, Iv made character sketches.*
    *Green Lantern is a franchise just aching to be explored on the big screen and luckily we finally have a chance to see Green Lantern make a big comeback in the DCU in the early development of the Lanterns tv series.*
    *I truly believe Green Lantern has the potential to become DC's Star Wars*

    It's a shame Kyle Rayner didn't become one of the DCAU's main characters after his introduction in the Superman series.

      You won't regret it truly opened my eyes to how many amazing stories and great worldbuilding the Green Lantern Corps contributes to the DC Comics universe and it has such great characters and well-written stories revolving around fear, the validity of emotion and our existence while keeping you engaged with fun, interesting and loveable characters. Green Lantern as a whole feels like a highly underrated pillar of DC comics that gets overlooked given how poorly received the 2011 film was, but luckily it seems like the character is making a big comeback in comics, and live-action with the upcoming Lanterns TV series to be set in James Gunn's DCU.
      You can also check out the Green Lantern Animated Series which adapts many elements from the Geoff Johns run. sadly the series was unceremoniously cancelled over the failure of the 2011 live-action film

    Green Lantern is one of my favs too. I used to write Justice League stories on an old DC/Marvel message board in my teen years and GL was probably the hero I most wrote about more than most with Hal, Carol, John, Kyle, Guy, Jessica, Simon, Sinestro, Atrocitus, Bleez and Black Hand among others taking centre stage a few times. I would've done a spin-off story of a Hunt for the White Lantern story just with them, but the message board got shut down before I got around to it.

    I’ve personally always been fascinated by the Orange Lanterns (technically Orange Lantern) solely because of everything about Larfleeze. The 12 issue comic about his origin and the random adventure that occurs during that series will always be one of my favorites. Seeing Larfleeze kill off these all powerful beings in order to get his butler back and one of the beings falling in love with him being bested by him in combat 😭. There’s also the fact of Larfleeze having insane potential for power wielding all the other orange lanterns he’s killed in his ring and being a living power battery, but being restricted by his avarice being the only thing he cares about. He’s just such an interesting character to me, I would love to see a video on him by you as well.

    Grant Morrison chose Rayner over Gardener specifically because he was looking for the most powerful iteration of the character.
    The JLA were intended to fight entities far beyond the universes norm, so every character in the main 7 was given a significant power boost to compensate.
    At one point he blocks a nuclear blast from point blank range using just a bubble shield, and his one regret later on was that he couldn’t think of anything more interesting.
