Ya know what’s fucking stupid? Any attempt I’ve ever seen comics writers make to limit Green Lantern’s powers besides just “use common sense” and “he can’t blatantly warp reality or time travel.”

I’ve seen shit like “he can make any machine, but he has to know how it works” or “he could make kryptonite to fight Superman but he has to know it’s exact atomic number and all the science behind it.”

No he fucking doesn’t. He just imagines shit and his ring makes it, and saying ANYTHING else makes the character not work at any level. I saw Kyle Raynor make a commercial jet to fly him and a friend around in. Does a freelance artist from Greenwich village actually understand jet engines? How about the inner workings of a mythical Chinese water dragon? Because I saw him beat up punks with one of those too. Does anybody in the DC universe understand the inner workings of a mythical Chinese water dragon? Zatanna maybe?

Shit is stupid. Even the basic stuff Hal makes is nonsense from that perspective. He’s making big Ram horns and shit but they’re obviously supposed to be made out or steel or some other hard material. Does Hal Jordan actually imagine the atomic structure of steel every time he hits someone with a big green Billy goat head?

I fucking hate nerds sometimes.
