There's no reason to believe that Larfleeze could destroy the universe. After all, that's where he keeps all his stuff.

[@thesupershinymegagengar2034]

@Zachary Lingley It seriously is.

[@loganhess8931]

Larfleeze could do it possibly to show his power

[@jacklegends2799]

@@loganhess8931 Nah, he's way too greedy to let people see what he's capable of. He'll probably do it if someone or something thats powerful enough tries to stop him, ie Kyle Rayner.

[@Meekkhi]

@@jacklegends2799 Doesn't mean he couldn't, just means he wouldnt

[@phantomx3902]

maybe he can and that what makes him don't destroy the universe in order to keep his stuff

[@crogor1]

All I learned from these videos is that the guardians either are woefully ignorant or just straight up evil

[@kendallfleming5858]

siphoned this is done purposefully, the Guardians are a mock of most governments, especially the American version.

[@miketime4290]

They are arrogant

[@thelaughingrouge]

Why not both?

[@Daily_Dose_of_Grass]

I think both

[@8RONZ3M4N]

Remember when Blackest Night came and they gave away lantern rings of every colour? If you couldn't get an orange ring, that would be because.. "This power is mine, this is my light. Be it in bright of day or black of night. I lay claim to all that falls within my sight, To take what I want... That is my right!" Also "What's mine is mine and mine and mine. And mine and mine and mine! Not yours!"

[@gamingislife3332]

I appreciate u putting both oaths and not one to make everyone happy

[@charteon9092]

I like to think the latter one is the one that he screams at people, because he doesn’t want to give up the actual oath.

[@eduardo7677]

I always interpreted the first as being the actual oath, and the second as just being Larfleeze insanity showing, since the orange energy does make you go crazy

[@villainvoice5143]

The Blue Ring is immune to the effects of the orange ring. So the guardians sent larfleeze to the blue lanterns, expecting "The wholesale slaughter of the blue lanterns" HOW?!

[@tranhuy2304]

Villain Voice they just being idiot and ignorance sometimes🤔😂

[@adrianortizurzua7884]

That statement means a sentient being cannot be corrupted by greed while wearing a blue ring, not that in combat, the light projections would have no effect. The Guardians probably expect Larfleece to overpower the blue lantern corp, although I doubt that will happen if the green lanterns (or even Hal Jordan alone, depending on writing) show up to help. Remember that a blue lantern ring is powerless unless it is in the presence of a green ring.

[@Friskyskelton]

good point

[@xxcagedriotxx]

They're immune to the effects on the ring, being over taken by greed. It doesn't make them immune to taking damage from his constructs, and without a Green Lantern nearby they are considerably weaker in battle.

[@thepallghost6443]

The blue lanterns are only able to fight effectively with green lanterns

[@Tf2GamerAlsoSkyrim]

Whats mine is mine, mine mine mine NOT YOURS!!?

[@waylonbreaux2366]

those filthy lanterns took our precious!!! We hates them!!!

[@Tf2GamerAlsoSkyrim]

Waylon Breaux MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE

[@cheeseburgerfreddy6350]

Ginger Nation Gaming NO!!! IT'S MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE!!!!!!!!

[@crouchinglibcrab9527]

It's the easiest Oath to remember

[@thefriendlybeast2613]

CHEESE BURGER FREDDY NOOOOOO ITS MINE MINE MINE NOT YOURS!!!

[@cassiusfelix2805]

I would love see another Orange Lantern that is a bit more in control.

[@letsgoooo9200]

Same

[@retropulse03]

Yeah, let's get on that DC for real.

[@nycprince531]

take a shot everytime rob say "the problem with this"

[@143trials]

Im more suprised at the fact that nothing "came home to roost" in this story. Love Robcorps.

[@Ghost-es3bo]

nycprince531 or "what this does is"

[@Vincentoo7]

"bolster"

[@Zenestro08]

But what this ended up doing

[@ManiaMac1613]

"The other half of this..."

[@chadiebourizk5579]

Larfleeze is one of my all time favourites, he is hilarious and overpowered but as long as you don't take his stuff or stop him from getting something he wont destroy you and turn you into his construct slave for eternity

[@jonathanhoward9533]

"The most powerful of the lantern corps" has been said like 4 times about different corps, Rob!

[@mistahjenkins4826]

Well, I mean... The Orange Lantern was considered stronger before the Black Lanterns, which was then upended when the White Lantern appeared, which was then outdone by the Ultraviolet Lanterns.

[@nightwingaven69]

still not as much as he uses the word "literally"

[@SevenMilliFrog]

@@mistahjenkins4826 he also said that the blue lanterns r the strongest

[@NeostormXLMAX]

@@mistahjenkins4826 this is one thing i hate about western comics vs japanese comics, there are too many retcons and rewrites this is why i prefer manga

[@DagothUrAmaranth]

Mistah Jenkins orange lanterns are outversal now

[@chewbaccanoises9591]

everybody gangsta till someone takes larfleeze's chip

[@PhillHughes]

Shot every time rob says "basically"

[@bazzfromthebackground3696]

Wow The Guardians just sell everyone out, don't they.

[@angeloabbatiello4755]

Wesly Z they’re kinda shitbags

[@heezythecasual]

yeah like they are shit blokes but youd have to be i guess to keep the universe in check

[@nickap23]

Guardians of the galaxy will not do that.

[@Ninjajp247]

They suck ass

[@distone2480]

Wesly Z they pimps. They sell dreams to people and then ask for help when they need their dirty work done.

[@jacktrippin7jack5]

Rob's got a great way of explaining a lot of the confusing aspects of comics making them understandable

[@Eudaimonia239]

love larfleeze to death, for me him and sinestro are my favorites. he is the true definition of a one man army.

[@3RAN7ON]

17:13 it looks like they're hugging each other! The power from the battery is embracing him too

[@brockbillings4299]

I'm surprised Hal doesn't want to use the ring more often as a hybrid lantern. I mean, will power is cool and all, but having hope is what gives someone something to strive towards. If you have an end goal, you have hope you will reach that goal, and therefore you will use your willpower to reach said goal. The two concepts go hand in hand, so i don't get why Hal didn't feel hope until that point, or why he want it off so badly

[@retropulse03]

I went through some horrible stuff growing up, and I swear to god you captured it perfectly. The hope that there was another side to come out on. I never let go of that hope, and because of it I had the willpower to get through. Hope + Willpower... 100%

[@whatduexpect4585]

The Rob Corp has the emotion of Curiosity and thirst for Knowledge. It is the color of invisibility!!!!!!

[@rileybeach1910]

Dude that's so true!!!

[@natetso3307]

What'd U Expect You're right about Curiosity being our emotion, but its not the color of invisibility that we use. It's the color of cosmic radiation, a wavelength of light outside the visible spectrum. So yes, we can be invisible, but we can also be much more than that.

[@ogsens6039]

i always pictured it as a brown ring.

[@whatduexpect4585]

Yah cosmic radiation just seems too hard to define or pinpoint. People understand invisibility better. Unless of course you want to elaborate

[@natetso3307]

I'd love to elaborate but I'd just bore everyone XD

[@freddieawsome1]

Rob, i'm doing my history thesis on Geoff John's Green lantern run from Rebirth-Blackest Night. Your vids have been an invaluable part of my research. Thanks and keep doing what you do, cuz you're damn good at it.

[@rogermartinez1487]

Take a drink every time rob says "mythos." Great video rob, always been fascinated with Larfleeze.

[@Marcus11984]

Great Video man! Guy Gardener actually came before John Stewart. Can't wait for your next one!

[@DSPAC-dc2uj]

Thank you ! This guy has an amazing back story i was hoping youd do this!!!

[@supershenron9162]

The white lantern represents the OP spectrum of the emotional spectrum xD

[@immaheadout]

I consider the Orange and Indigo aspects of the spectrum to be introversion that LEADS to avarice and extraversion that LEADS to compassion. In theory, when Larfleeze is imbued with the orange energy, he becomes flooded with introversion to the fullest extent and then becomes greedy if he does not willfully look past himself.

[@reissharwood9362]

Can u do a top ten list of the strongest lantern users? Cause idk who is stronger then who

[@blacgoat8916]

reiss harwood Good idea now bend the knee

[@Gundam_NeonOmen]

Generally the leaders of each Corps. Sinestro, Atrocitus, Hal Jordan, Larfleeze, Carol Ferris, Indigo-1, Saint Walker, Black hand, Kyle Raynar.

[@reissharwood9362]

CoolCarl222 Ye but what about for example Ion the Kryptionian Green Lantern or Paralax Hal

[@Gundam_NeonOmen]

They don't really count because any lantern with an entity embedded will be the strongest, and it's not often you see entities bond with lanterns

[@reissharwood9362]

CoolCarl222 Ye I mean them included but not like characters who had something before they became a Lantern like Yellow Lantern Superman 🙃

[@diarmuidallen5899]

My man Rob coming through with more quality content

[@cuttertaylor9035]

I survived Hurricane Harvey just so I could see what Lantern video you drop today

[@Old_Greg]

Rob you are the man, just searched your videos for an orange lantern video and this pops up this morning, awesome

[@typhon8]

I really loved this video thank you

[@EddieChill2]

Thank you great video man I'm glad to have another great story for you

[@Guyonnn]

You are one of the few channels that I will watch whole ads for.

[@AsmodeusMictian]

Awesome vid man. Thanks!

[@Victorcreed85]

Great video once again Rob. I have been waiting for Larfleeze's video. What happened to your reading videos? Where you read Marvel Knights Sentry. I enjoyed that.

[@Blakk_Wolf7]

Definitely my favorite channel on KZbin

[@gabrielbrennan4149]

Loving your GL series!

[@ballsweat5578]

Stingy and Mr Krabs would make a great orange lantern.

[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

16:23 ALAN SCOTT!

[@TheEric826]

man i always get toootallly blown away how they seamingly plan stories out deeecades in advance or pull things in from that long ago

[@DemonPrinceofHell]

That's how books are essentially made. There's stories around that are either half finished or drafts that the writer will put to have a foundation for their story, like a toy box if you will.

[@atgeki]

Rob this video was missing in the full story, so I had to watch it after Blackest Night. Still great stuff.

[@lances4537]

This one was a really good story, gotta pick this one up

[@mattcalloway6254]

Can you do a video explaining all the Pros and Cons of each lantern Corp and how the affect the other?

[@joshbnimble]

You could really go for a hamburger right now... TWO hamburgers!

[@Alucardorbit]

Great video!

[@williehaynes7241]

Rod u are awesome thanks for what u do no one can but the green lanterns are awesomeness

[@ryanmchugh2337]

Really?? Agent Orange? Does he have all the abilities of a herbicide?

[@TheZefWrouth]

cant wait for this whole story to complete :D

[@outdoorserenity976]

Great vid man! So glad you went for unscripted. Awesomesauce!

[@kaisuonboyd7438]

Rob this is some good stuff oh my god

[@tengkualiff]

Thanks to rob im suddenly really interested with the Green Lantern Mythos

[@milesmorales2106]

Nice vid rob, can you please do a video on what if punisher got the spirit of vengeance and how to kill him

[@jona4462]

Never read a comic book, dont even watch the movies But this was so cool, loved it man.

[@KallKar83]

One of the coolest facts about Larfreeze is that he has the TARDIS in his loot horde.

[@PharaohFontain]

Hey Robb! Nice video! Love them all. Please could you make a playlist of the music you use on your videos, i love the sound but know the name to none of them. #BLESSED

[@redbuck1385]

Parallax Hal can't have been the most powerful being, since the Presence is totally omnipotent.

[@falcomalco]

Been waiting on this video since last Sunday! Keep them coming our fearless leader!

[@pakanu2005]

can you do a video about Jan-Al, tree the Kryptonian who was one of the original 7 green lanterns, please? I tried to watch some generic KZbinr's video but it was lackluster and left me wanting it done right!

[@BludRanger]

i can't believe this man had me refreshing his utube pg waiting for him to drop this lantern vid smh

[@gilgamesh5450]

You need to do Final crisis before blackest night, I really want you to Cover True Darkseid.

[@nathansmith8312]

Rob is there anything extra to becoming part of the Rob Corps? All Im saying is you've created the best thing to do with my sundays as Ive always wanted to know the blackest night story. I love what you do with comics explained. thank you sir

[@MRMAN5551]

This was recommended to me Apr. 4 2021 it must be relevant to something in production

[@Yippidie]

About time!

[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

Glad to know those guys are guarding the universe.

[@chriscollen6543]

Damn, the Guardians are making moves like Sinestro!

[@LeGioNoFZioN]

I really did love this run

[@w4rpho3nix]

Have you done a video on how Kyle basically masters all rings/ becomes the white lantern?

[@adhdaiden6297]

I wanna see this as a movie now

[@MrTrickstercoyote]

Didn't Kyle Rayner create an orange ring after he lost the power of the White Lantern? And if so did that ring go to Larfleeze or is there still a orange ring out there?

[@fantasyconnect]

Yeah, I'm wondering on that too.

[@Cyfer135]

Jordan was like "My precious!!" Lol

[@drewalexander6024]

Hey, Rob. I noticed that you never did the Phoenix Saga and the Dark Phoenix Saga. With the Dark Pheonix Movie coming out next year, maybe that's a story you could tackle.

[@HALF_DAY]

I read some of this as a kid and had no idea what was going on. Thanks for the context.

[@keithandrelashley]

I think it would be convenient for the Blue Lanterns to live on the planet Mogo. That would be a win situation for everyone.

[@Comic2Canvas]

Hey Rob, love your channel dude! I always listen to it while I work on a new canvas lol. Who would you say is your favorite Superhero or Villain of all time?

[@Mr0901]

Hal's life is a cosmic level emotional rollercoaster

[@bagusrifky7778]

When the others lantern saying their oath, larfreeze just say "ehh.." 😂😂

[@nightgundam]

Great episode. But not the reason i commented I found something that would make a great Halloween episode...Marvel's Fear Lords. Or just do an episode or a small series of episodes talking about the various characters that embody or use fear.

[@mizukigenshou6686]

I had read this comic and it's damn awesome!

[@mosesyah1261]

Good work.....and Yeah!

Is Rob going to cover the indigo lanterns? Just curious, don't know where they fit in the timeline

[@sexypancake900]

MMMAAAANNNN.......LEMME TELL YOU SUMTHIN ROB CORP!......The content on robs channel is the best thing coming out of youtube right now!!!

[@AnomolousGrandeur]

Rob, I appreciate the fact that you want new subscribers. I feel that you explain the 101 stuff way to much in videos that are meant for advancement of bigger/intricate topics, its like teaching calculus but every time you differentiate you explain the power rule, or what a function is, if you don't know what a function is you should go back to pre calc!

[@blacgoat8916]

[@AnomolousGrandeur]

Jonathan Weatherspoon are you the red dragon? Should I quiver in your presence, say name, say my name Beyonce!

[@WafflesTheAsianYenbear]

Hey Rob, is the Vega system a reference to Star Wars at all or just coincidence?

[@0NodMan0]

*_So I'm a little confused... Are the "Star Sapphire's" rings still in their belly buttons? :P_*

[@donkeykong4983]

Ikr.

[@danielkeller3780]

larflez (or how ever its spelt) is such a beast

[@ischemic2115]

Hal Jordan really pulled out that genjutsu man. The blue lanterns are the space faring first version of the akatsuki and Hal Jordans got the rennigan

[@Chappell5252]

Need more Orange Lantern stories. Hurry...

[@crouchinglibcrab9527]

The Blue Lanterns are quite amazing. but can they form constructs ? I don't think I have ever seen one do that

[@SupremacyGamesYT]

Did rob continue/finish Blackest Night / Brightest Day storyline? This seems to be the last video regarding it.

[@williamdenyou2268]

I think it would be cool to see Hal have all the rings at once see where that story would go

[@SFHFWill]

Awesome!

If you haven't had a chance to listen to Rob while driving you don't know what you are missing
