This. OL's gone from someone who can bat in the same league as Superman to someone who could beat Superman to a pulp and make it look about as difficult as changing a disagreeable pillowcase.

He can shart new Orange Power Rings at the drop of a hat, he has massive amounts of extra experience in everything from administration to tactical combat, he can sail across the cosmos without any effort or strain on his ring...

Fuck, we're basically looking at the OL version of Kingdom Come GL, who lives in a giant fuckoff space castle with sentries, guards, & servants - all of which is a giant, teeming mass of Lantern constructs he maintains all by himself, continuously, and can still fly around beating people senseless at the same time.

This is the kind of power that shatters settings and leaves plotlines weeping in its wake.

Yeah that's kind of exactly my point. If our OL got that kind of power up it'd completely fuck up the narrative and he'd hardly be the same person anymore.

If I remember correctly, his lantern is also integrated into that armor, so he has effectively infinite ring charge.

Also, apparently if Hal wanted to get away with recreating his hometown, he should have done it in geosynchronous orbit, slapped some sensors on the edges, and pitched it to the Guardians as an eccentrically-decorated orbital defense platform.

The Kryptonians had a bit of a Too Dumb to Live sticker however. Unlimited cosmic power from yellow sunlight, suits that made it, each member capable of starflight with their own tech, and they stick around to die from a supernova.

I think the current explanation is that Rao(the chief god of the Kyrptonian pantheon) was influenced by Despair who in turn gathered up the Kryptonians in one place so he could kill them all leaving only one(Superman) or a small number(all the other survivors) so as to have someone around to be both a mourner of what was lost and a symbol of despair.

@Mr Zoat ...any chance you could turn one of these into a full story? Like the ATLA or this one?

Stranger things have happened. There is a 1st of April every year.

Oh, don't I know it. The main reason I went off Tenchi Muyo was that the writers didn't seem to realise that when one side has a bunch of superbeings and the other does not, there is no more tension in violent conflict.
 
I must say I find it an interesting concept - and solution to - for the Nightmare Moon dilemma of night and darkness not receiving equal attention to the sun and day:
Make her the goddess of space-travel, and uplift the ponies into a space-age civilization.
"You can have your Equestrian day, weak and pitiful as it is Celestia. All the rest of this? Mine."

Of course, probably not going to happen, but the consequences would be delightful to observe.
 
I am shocked, shocked good sir......


Shocked that Paul didn't find a quiet corner to gush into.

Me Sure in public once the initial shock has worn off I'd be all smiles of the shit eating kind, and polite words. Once I was in private why I'd be jumping around and squealing like a little girl. At which point I'd get caught by Pinkie cause she's damn pinkie. Though I'm pretty sure Lyra would stalk the funny ape creature.......

I DON'T CARE IF LYRA STALKING HUMANS IS FANON!

Also Zoat....you couldn't help yourself with the Bandora bit could you?
 
Meanwhile, in Equestria:
The Sun Raising Ceremony:

Twilight Sparkle: "Wait.. wasn't something supposed to happen? Where's Nightmare Moon?"

Rainbow Dash: "See guys; told you she was crazy."

Celestia: Hiding tears.


(it has been a long time since ive seen that ep)
 
Well as I said earlier I think this is the Ambush Bug's idea of a Black Mercy trip, it puts Paul in the position of being essentially all powerful without restraint and lets him do what he wants in the places he most wants to.

If that's what's happening then this going to be a bit harder to get Paul out of it because on a very personal level Paul is going want what the Ambush Bug is offering to him. And even with Englightment getting a Orange Lantern to give up what he wants is not easy.

Oh that's simple, what Ambush Bug wants is the epitome of what Paul hates about super-hero settings.

He wants to make Ambush Bug lose.
 
Oh lord now that ,

has been brought up Paul is gonna be pissed if this really is OL's 'For the man who has everything' especially if everything that has happened from the moment Ambush Bug bugged Paul a second time to point he is free turns out to be a rather complex fabrication. Yeah the bug just might get to see what a OL displaying cold fury looks like up close and personal.
 
When I read this update I was reminded of this:
sopchoppy said:
What I think you're asking is: Why didn't anybody realize she could kill Endbringers?" He, because it had taken Dragon less than a second to identify the man regardless of their precautions, gave a half sigh, half laugh before continuing.

"If you ask the question out loud like that it pretty much answers itself, but I'll take a shot at it anyway. Three things you need to keep in mind about Twilight Sparkle. First, she's cute. I mean she's absolutely F-ing adorable." A graphic came up on the screen next to the agents head showing a picture of Twilight reading a book at a desk with a somewhat miffed expression that was, Dragon had to admit, dangerously cute.

"Yeah, just look at that, she's like the ideal cuddle toy every doll maker has been trying to make since forever, blown up just big enough that you don't have to bend down to pat her on the head, and brought to life. Then she starts talking and she's this friendly, geeky, cheerful, awkward young lady who's a little weird, but just enough to make her charming. The whole package is completely disarming and even when you know what she can do, it's way too easy to forget when your inner child just wants to pet her and feed her carrots and your parental instincts want to give her a hug."

Zod thought the idea of going from a multi planet species to a single plant species was stupid. If he had been in charge there would have been viable populations of kryptonians offworld when there homeworld exploded.

Sort of. Even under the Military Council headed by Admiral Dru-Zod, Krypton didn't really colonise places. They did however have substantial military bases and fleets off world. These were recalled when the Science Council took over. General Zod wanted to bring back Krypton's glory days, to see the places his great uncle told him about when he was a boy. If his coup had been successful the first thing he would have done is expand the self defence fleet into a proper space navy. He probably wouldn't have had time to finish enough ships to evacuate even a substantial minority of people but he would have been able to save thousands, enough to rebuild their species.
