The Green Lantern Corp isn't what it once was either. Too many different types of Lanterns running around. A Green Lantern ring isn't the most powerful weapon in the Universes anymore and just another power up. Remember when even Rookie Green Lanterns could be uber? Now even Elite Green Lanterns like Hal can look bad compared to other Top Tiers.
The Guardians also suck. A few more bad showings, and we might as well put them in the Herald tier.
Originally posted by Rage.Of.OlympusYeah, Johns can write a damn good story, but imo he did a lot more harm to Lantern continuity than good. Like you said: with all the various Lantern corps that've popped up over the last few years, GLs have been hugely neutered/watered down as a result. It's sad.

Amen about the Guardians. I'm just glad these new Guardians seem to actually be displaying some real power-- they held their own against a berserker WL Kyle after all the entities combined with him, which is the best feat Guardians have had in YEARS.

No.
I remember, and it was cool they had a nice moment. But I give it a few months before it turns out they're responsible for the next big Universal threat in some way.
Seriously, in all my time reading comics, I have never read of a more incompetent group then the modern day Guardians. Legit surprised the Corp didn't revolt and imprison them for criminal negligence. There are only so many times their mistakes can cost the Universe dearly.
Originally posted by Rage.Of.OlympusWell those Guardians were killed by Sinestrallax and the new Guardians(the ones who spent billions of years in captivity safeguarding Volthoom, thus hadn't been corrupted like the mainstream Guardians were) took their place as head(s) of the GLC. Plus, Johns is no longer writing GL books, so there may still be a chance for them. *crosses fingers*

You underestimate the Guardian's ability to f*ck up. It's inherent to their genetic make up.
But yea, with Johns gone, hopefully they won't be so terrible.
