Y'know, it occurs to me that I've taken a lot on simple faith about the power rings as presented in this fanfic. This isn't a criticism, by any means, but a lot of the "man, why don't these green lanterns do X that Paul does?" questions seem to suggest that the rings can do things that Mr. Zoat says they can without much evidence from Young Justice, or, indeed, any other animated/live action source of which I know. I mean, the GL animated series doesn't show them sub-spacing things, hacking things, or using a massive database with highly impressive mental-interfaced AI access, and it's ABOUT them. They even fly in human (well, native) form when they go FTL with their rings; the "FTL transfer" as a ribbon-thin line of light doesn't seem to be a thing. Arguably, using that "warp" function rather than "FTL transfer," which Paul uses like a combat teleport.
While it's fun to see Paul using all those under-used powers, where do we get canon that they CAN do all those things? Would OL be so critical if he were only able to do things shown to be possible in YJ or at least the DCAU by green lanterns, rather than assuming powers that are not in evidence? Or is there evidence and I'm just not remembering it or missed it somewhere?
(Again, NOT a complaint; I quite enjoy the story and his creative use of these powers. But there just are, upon reflection, a lot of powers in his repertoire that I don't recall ever seeing power rings HAVING in the media I've watched.)
That is just inarguably moronic.
It's amazing how much stupidity you can encourage by being so annoying that they feel it justified. Send enough spam on the emergency channel...
Somewhat hypocritical for a man with scry wards caved into his soul.
He didn't say he thought they were wrong. Only that he didn't feel the need to show them awe-inspired self-abasement. I doubt he expects them to show him awe-inspired deference, either.
When the Controllers have been active on the galactic stage for a billion years and only have a handful of screwy decisions to their name then they will equal the Guardians' track record for being sensible.
The trouble for the Guardians is that their handful of dumb ideas tends to be the MAJORITY of what we see on-screen or on-page. So to the audience, they seem the majority of their decisions. It wouldn't hurt to have a LOT of issues and scenes where they're shown being reasonable and right, to make the bad ideas really seem rare.
