Birthright - The First Green Lantern

[@Sharkakaka]

"The guardians forged our rings from WILL. Will can do more than cover our retreat, will is the reason behind all action. we must WILL our survival" - Avra, the first green lantern.

[@lordteapot9740]

cool because it shows how when they just use the rings as blasters with no imagination, they're basically no more effective than standard ship weapons, but once they begin...yeah cool ;l

[@fredfry5100]

IN the words of the opening credits, the first ringbearer is not the first lantern. Avra discovered that ability.

[@AdManOfChaos]

You are the first person to sell me on why they need constructs based on real things vs just using straight up energy. I always thought that was a joke, but now I see some appeal if you give it a reason.

[@Asaylum117]

It's like using just blasters is as affective as harsh language. There is always more to fighting then just blasting people.

[@firefox30570]

Honestly, its not that using just pure energy attacks and defense is weak, its that their will was weaker before. They didnt believe they could win, they didn't believe they were strong enough. His first attack after enduring the red beam, literally obliterated the ship, and that too was a pure energy attack. Then witnessing this, the other too realized, if he can do this, he is that strong because of the ring, we can do this, we are that strong too.

It is one thing, to say that you will stand against a foe even if it means standing alone. It's another to actually do it, particularly when you're packing a weapon that's literally fueled by willpower. In other words what Avra did was actually the single most rational course of action despite it seeming to be completely insane. He considered failure absolutely unacceptable, the ring reacted to his will, and thus victory became possible.

[@stevejordan7275]

And yet to actually "do it," to take action when on does *not* have a will-powered ring, *that* is what demarcates true bravery from mere willingness to do the right thing. The fact that taking action against a powerful "bad actor" can - and often does - end in self-sacrifice, is how we distinguish *true* heroes with *actual* bravery from mere superheroes.

A green lantern can do so much more than shoot lazers that don't hurt anybody and make shields that break like glass from basic enemy attacks.

@ Caleb On the one hand, she's just a plot device. But if it's true that in a multiverse of possibilities, what we saw here is historical, not fictional. The two possibilities arising from that can be instructive: 1) If you're a dualist - you think there is a nonmaterial "spirit" that survives bodily death - then no death is a tragedy; tears and trauma are wasted on the dead. 2) If you're a physicalist - you think *the process that you are* ends with bodily death because the substrate (brain) can no longer support it - then her death is an unmitigated tragedy. Rage! *RAGE* against the dying of the light! If we truly have lost all our loved ones to the oblivion of non-existence, *we* are the only ones who will suffer. We do not yet know if there is a third alternative, but we must continue to look for it. Are they still extant, but cut off from everything, including themselves? Could recreating brainstates by a quantum sensor that reads across time and space bring them forward to us again? As a species, it would not be the first time we have done something that was thought impossible. Don't be unrealistic, but don't give up!
