Guy's rage is actually brought about one of my favorite GL moments. tl;dr, The Green Lantern Corp is driven crazy by Parallax being placed in the GL Power Battery again, and Hal, John, Guy, and Kyle save them by using rings from other corps. Guy gets a Red AND a Violet ring and with a shout of "I love my Corp and no one is taking them away from me!" and shatters the Power Battery, saving the day, which is *so cool and no one else in comics can channel Rage and Love like that Guy Gardner is badass as hell*

He also goes back to the red lanterns later. Initially its a spy mission but Atrocitus pissed off Guy so much he went "Fuck the mission im beating his ass" and then proceeded to actually do that and take over the red lanterns turning them into a force for good.

[@solvemproblerstudios5889]

uwu Essentially, A white writer who didn’t understand his character or black culture very well kinda just, messed up his story. I don’t think It’s really totally about race though, because he didn’t get good character development in the first place. It’s the same with Grant Morrison’s n52 Superman, he just wasn’t well written, and it made him suck. However, Rebirth Superman has been an improvement, as was Jon Stewart once the writers switched.

[@MrPaladan03]

Actually Guy Gardner did get better in the New 52 when he became a Red Lantern and his pissed off jerk attitude fit perfectly. The Red Lanterns also had their own series that was pretty solid, it was at least better than New52 GL New Gaurdians featuring Kyle Rayner.

[@echo2121]

@@solvemproblerstudios5889 Disagree with your comment about Morrison's characterization of Superman. Grant Morrison tends to take great influence from the Silver Age-- just look at Bat-Mite or the Batman of Zur En Arrh. It's a general motif in his writing, even more so than deliberately writing batshit crazy stories that are trying to make your brain explode. He's even doing it now with The Green Lantern. So when Morrison was trying to figure out what kind of Superman he wanted to write, he looked towards the Silver Age which is primarily where this characterization of Superman is drawn from. For a large part of the Silver Age, Superman was Superboy. He visited the Legion of Superheroes, raced across the cosmos with unfathomable power, and was generally a kid. This is where Morrison's Superman comes from. Now let's make something clear: Morrison's Superman was *not* Geoff John's Superman The Superman Geoff Johns created in the pages of Justice League does not draw from the Silver Age or even Morrison's. This Superman was moodier, with a quick temper. I consider Johns' work on Justice League to be some of his worst (which isn't to say he's a bad writer he isn't), and his characterization of Superman is very telling in that regard. The Darkseid War in particular was lackluster. I had also just come off of reading a shit ton of ridiculously excellent indie titles when I finally finished his run of JL, so that probably had something to do with it too.

[@solvemproblerstudios5889]

Echo Empire Ok. Fair enough. Just last week I read Morrison’s new 52 Superman and the man of steel, and I just... didn’t get it. I had no Idea what was going on half the time, Clark was either a semi cocky, confident kid at times, reminding me of Peter Parker or something, or a jerk and suddenly he’d be Christopher Reeve every once and a while.

The first one really only on Earth 2 and the reason for why that happened was because the JSA were not allowed on Prime Earth in the New 52.
