    The fact that King Shark was able to use that ring tells me alot about the shitty writing in this game. As soon as John died that ring would of left his finger to find someone with great willpower to wield it.

      not all of those rules are set in stone
      -people wayyy weaker than king shark have stolen a ring from green lantern(s) before in diff stories
      -the whole bit was that he couldn't 'wear' the ring so he forced it on his pinkie
      -the embodiment of willpower in DC is a giant shark so not far fetched, plus king shark likely has lots of willpower
      -I honestly don't know on this one, ig he just got upset at boomer or something
      -it's on his pinkie and didn't fit fully, plus it would be easier for 3 PEOPLE to pull it off of him without taking off the finger like he did to john

    As a huge fan of Green Lantern, if not all of the GL corps (except Guy Garner), that's not how the Lantern Ring works. Sure, King Shark as a Green Lantern is cool and all (tho it wouldn't fit him as a GL. He would be either Red or Yellow Lantern), but this is straight up lore breaking. The Ring either flies itself to Oa after the user dies or the user has to "willingly" give the ring to the new user. This shows none of that & treats it like a Ex's engagement ring and it shows that Rocksteady doesn't give a shit and hates their characters & their fans.

    Gotta love how often suicide squad stuff just shits all over lore to fit the "rule of cool".
    Willpower is what POWERS the ring. Not what determines if it can be used or not.
    If strength of WILL was all it took to use a green lantern ring, most Yellow or Red Lanterns alone could kill a Green Lantern, rip off their ring, and EASILY use it until its localized power source ran out.
    A ring can be used by someone IT chooses at that moment to wield it. And if you expect me to believe that the ONLY option it had on the whole of planet Earth was King Shark, I gotta bridge to sell ya.
    ...
    FFS, King Shark is an impressive all around specimen (that FYI has a bite that can actually HARM Superman, no joke). But he IS a B-tier villain turned anti-hero. Don't pull weird and stupid contrived shit like this to make him more important than he is. He's fine on his own merits.

      For Green Lanterns, yes that is true. In the to be an official one the chosen user must have a sense of willpower and willing to leave their world for any duty. Otherwise, anyone can wield one but may or won’t allow to have any extension of the rings full potential. But they are bit faulty, Lobo as an example can push himself through a Lantern’s shield that’s supposedly impenetrable, and he’s someone who is responsible for destroying his whole race so he can be a one of kind and commits Hanoi’s crime whether as a bounty hunter or not, willpower isn’t always for good guys.

Hell I'm not even mad at Batman's death bc if he did get free of brainiac's mind control he'd probably kill himself after all the shit he did in the game. Like I hate to say it folks, killing the justice league is probably what they would have wanted. I mean batman made plans just in case this situation had happened to kill them. I think it's just people thought that they were gonna cop out and actually not kill the members. I mean we are playing bad guys. The games not bad, it just you don't like seeing a villian killing our beloved heros. Which I understand but you can't say the game is awful bc it actually stays true to its name. I do think the deaths could've been done better. Like how they could've had the flash and Captain Boomerang have a stand off where it ends with flash having a boomerang stuck in his skull. Green lantern should've gotten his hand cut off or something making him loose his power and have deadshot at least torture him. Batman should've broke free from his mind control after being beaten from the squad and he tell them plans to beat superman and brainiac and then beg them to kill him before brainiac takes control again, then have Harely sort of mercy kill him. Then superman? Have him almost kill them all but shark unlocks his full potential with his Atlantian powers and enter a rage mode to kill superman. The makings are all there for the deaths. Also I hate to say it but the only reason why I can believe that the squad can kill the league is bc of King Shark. The dude is a powerhouse and I really wish they had used him better and not gave him the drax treatment. Like dude is strong enough to go toe-to-toe with superman and green lantern. Hell shark can fight the flash. The dude is so versatile. They only showed how strong he was a few times, mainly with the ring but not to his full potential. Idk they had so much potential with most of the characters here. Like the members they chose for this game, I do believe that they could kill the Justice League. Only problem is that, everyone dies to guns. I understand gameplay wise but they could've had a cutscene for the death after you drain the heathbar. Didn't have a problem with that when wonderwoman was fight superman.

      Its literally the `anyone can look good in black` or just a suit trope, Doesnt stop the fact it gives zero fks to how the powerset works and wants to exist in a state of limbo where it somehow went above double standard and went into some kind of quintuple standards that selectively deny how source material of certain power sets work yet at the same time want to work in its own selective ways like its a A.I. generator where the words `Humanoid` `Shark` and `Green Lantern` were put into a generator and then they made that the basis of a `so-called cool scene` with no regard how the stuff works.
      Even going as far to have the character just `spout` the oath randomly like everyone just magically knows it soon as they don the ring.
      Which if you want a cool factor it would of probably been neater to see him be a Red Lantern or Yellow lantern for a short segment, all because the Guardians couldnt directly intervene cause FK plot excuses so they just randomly have some other corp. lend a ring for common interests and just have a cool damn scene of a shark in yellow spandex beating up a green knock off of john stewart fking lantern that instead of acting like a soldier is acting like some wannabe gangster punk instead.

      Cause if they could get any more woke trope on bastardizing the characters, I would not be amazed if they had this wannabe gangsta fake green lantern in a puffy jacket, baggie pants, soap shoes and wearing its green lantern ring as a grill, decked out in gold and diamonds and even despite gold being technically yellow, them going even further and make it so selectively double standard, they would have the squad have to piss bright yellow urine in jars and huck it at him.

      Hard to tell but from a deitic scale (i.d in their own narrative setting) The One Ring is extremely powerful while being way subtler than any ring of the emotional spectrum in DC. Except maybe the white or black ring (the first makes you omnipotent or close to be, the second can create extinction on an universal scale and you would control all dead beings).

      There’s also no buildup to it. It just happens at the same time the idea is brought up, and then discard immediately. A scene won’t have a big reaction/payoff if it’s mentioned and resolved in the same scene.

    My theory is that Brainiac reversed-engineered the ring's AI to not make it sentient, because it would've flew off the moment John started killing people, as the ring doesn't allow lethal force. Despite the faults, Rocksteady did their research on the characters, the bios show it. There's no way they don't know the basic rules of a Lantern ring.

    Honestly this is a fun idea as long as you treat it like a elseworld story and aren’t so caught up on whether something should be possible. Like it’s comic books, absurd stuff happens. Like you can get mad about it being Arkham universe and the disservice to past characters and yeah…valid complaints.

      @mrshmuga9 5 месяцев назад

      It would work if it was something like Teen Titans Go where the tone, characters, and writing is all playing it loose, but it’s not. They’re taking it seriously, except for the rules that come with these characters/properties. By not being authentic, it shows they don’t care to represent these characters/IP properly. They changed how things worked not because they cared about the effects on the story/lore or they wanted to go in a different direction how to represent the Green Lantern Corps. But because they wrote themselves into a corner (need to break the shield) and forced it, wanted a scene they think is cool (King Shark using the ring), and wanted some drama/suspense (almost dying by using it). But it’s hollow because they didn’t write it in an interesting way within existing (or stated) new rules to make it a good payoff. They literally just use it with no rhyme or reason, and immediately discard it in the same scene because they need it gone to not impact gameplay.
      The whole point of a writer, is making whatever scene happen feel believable. It’s not. Even if you want to ignore existing rules, the ring isn’t even around his finger all the way in the first place. It’s still around his nail. They wanted the payoff with no work on their part to believably set it up, which is a recipe for bad writing.

    @Herc_G. 5 месяцев назад +12

    All y’all in the comments don’t know about Lord Malvolio, a GL villain who stole a GL ring from his father after killing him. So yes, you can kill a GL and take their ring. The rings have to scan for the nearest possible best candidate to wear the ring. It doesn’t immediately whisk off, it has to locate the next best bearer. So yes, this scene does make sense. King Shark was able to temporarily use the ring while it was searching for a new host, but lost control when his willpower wasn’t strong enough.

    • @mrshmuga9
      @mrshmuga9 5 месяцев назад

      If that was true, then you should see the ring fly off at the end to try and find someone to imply that. But it doesn’t. So it comes off like the writers broke/ignored the rules because they wrote themselves into a corner (how do we break the shield?). That and they wanted a cool scene/shot. But they didn’t care to do enough setup to pay it off well. It’s brought up, resolved, and discarded all within the same scene, which signals to the viewer that it’s minor.
      If you want a good payoff, you have to take time to build it up. You can’t do it immediately. What would be more interesting, is if they all tried to wear it but it did nothing (or it resized so they physically couldn’t). King Shark keeps it in his pocket because if it tries to fly away, he can quickly react and maybe be strong enough to hold it back (idk if possible). At some pivotal point it glows and he’s able to wear and use it. Since you need to get rid of it for gameplay reasons, have it destroyed in battle (idk if possible), or run out of energy (he used what was left after the GL fight, and they don’t know where the lantern is to recharge and don’t have time to get it), or maybe Superman rips it off his finger because he’s that strong (Braniac wants it out of their hands and might try to use/harvest it even if he can’t). Or King Shark is overwhelmed after using it, and doesn’t like it, and gets rid of it himself. In that scenario you could have him be the most interested to use it, and then realize it’s more than he bargained for.
      Good writing isn’t about the result, it’s about making the path to that result _believable_ within the bounds you have, and they didn’t do that.

    I agree that the ring should have flown off his body or at least not just been able to be worn by shark. I think it would have been funny if shark struggled and struggled to get the ring off the finger, and then out of frustration ATE the finger and ring...and then...he turned into shark lantern. I mean if you are going to ignore the rules, and least go all the way.
