Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Well, technically, the weakness is back
I'm a little boggled at the thought of "You know what would make a good weakness? YELLOW!" being considered a workable idea twice.

Maybe if they limited it to a particular shade. Like mustard.

Now there's some deep spiritual meaning to it or some such crap.
The original Green Lantern, with powers of a different origin, also has a weakness. His? Wood.
I'm drawing up plans for the ulitimate bad guy lair right now. A little Douglas Fir, a little Dutch Boy, some Kryptonite doorknobs, and I'm set.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

mmm hm.
And then there's that little boy who rides on his back. He's like the Michael Jackson of superheroes.

I think this is the premise for one of the arcs on QaF.

The trick is though that they sort of explained the weakness in a way that let them get Hal Jordan back free and clear. Between that and finally having a decent explanation for what green lantern energy actually is, I'm willing to overlook the silliness of the weakness.
Considering the original Alan Scott weakness was wood, it's not as if they lack a 65 year tradition of WTF?-ness.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Burrell, the babies are gorgeous! And when did Franny get so grown up?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I never had much of a problem with it. I figured it was a function of the spectral characteristics of the ring's light. I thought the recent change to blame it all on Parallax was kind of dumb.

Yeah, but his ring was specifically based on magic, so it's sort of the same thing as the fact that a wooden stake will dust a vampire.
