	You can keep calling him "Dex-Starr" as much as you like, Johns, but you're never going to change the fact that his name is actually "Ruffles." (Reply to this) (Thread)

	"Dex-Starr?" Does Johns get his names for his characters out of the back of his seventh-grade notebook? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I really do enjoy the Red Lanterns for some reason, despite not following GL or GLC at all. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I enjoy Ruffles. A lot. Although I had kiiiind of been thinking about looking at GLC, but I really don't know if I want to get involved with an event. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	With Laira dead the only hot raging girl left now is Bleez! I love how Ruffles actually seems to be clawing Atrocitus. That takes serious furballs. (Reply to this) (Thread)

*reads the wiki on Laira, as "hot raging girl" is always an intriguing concept worthy of further research*

Wow. The Guardians are real prickholes, aren't they? Just about everything in her backstory is one fuckover after another, and they then have the raw arrogance and sheer audacity to condemn her posthumously for the "crime" of being pissed off. Who the hell wouldn't be?

My question is, as an outsider to the whole mythos, is this deliberate or is it bad writing? Because this isn't the first thing I've read that paints the Guardians and the GLC in a far less than flattering light, and it really makes me wonder if we're supposed to sympathize with them or not.

I volunteer to get Bleez (the yummy-looking blue-skinned female with batwings for ears) laid and thus dispel her rage and deprive the Red Lanterns of a member.

While I'm at it, I'll provide the kittykitty with a lifetime membership to an all-you-can-eat sushi buffet, thus eliminating him as well. Bleez and I will also spend our downtime petting and cuddling the kitty, and giving him a warm bed to curl up on and lots of curtains to shred.

Between the three of us, we'll all be contented and purring most of the time and far too tired and happy for rage, death, or destruction.

Someone else can deal with the rest of the freaks, but I got those two.

You're welcome.

	All Atrocitus needs is a nice mug of hot chocolate and a name change by deed poll - I know if my folks had named me Atrocitus I'd be pissed, too. Perhaps 'Smileyhappius' is something he should look into. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	So wait... they retconned the Empire of Tears from being an empire of ultimate evil to a victim of circumstance? Are they just undoing everything Alan Moore ever conceived for the GL corps? whats next? The big dramatic reveal that Mogo isn't really a living planet, but just a giant space hamster on a wheel that powers the planets motion? (Reply to this) (Thread)
