Please just stop GL auto-shielding works even when they are taken by surprise. You know a cheap shot from behind and the like. Its not a proper construct rather it seems to be a fail safe built into the Ring. So creativity won't have much to with it.

As for this

"I can't believe you showed such disrespect to these iconic characters by saying that phrase. These individuals have a rich history in the media that spans through decades. Treat these characters with  respect, not as fucking objects."

I have no idea what you're blubbering about. How did I disrepect these iconic characters? By pointing out the power disparity between them? Look you'd have to jump through a lot of hoops and bend over backwards for Robin to take out Doomsday too, but saying so in no way disrepects either character they are simply at different power levels.

Before I go any further perhaps I should ask do you know what the idiot ball, pis/cis, and SMvsFL are?

"Of course Hal con go against a stardestroyer, it's a GODDAMN SHIP! Not a person. He can create infinite missiles to destroy the damn thing. Taking on Vader would require a different set of tactics, since he is taking on a individual person. He has to submit Vader into defeat before taking him to custody for his crime against the universe, because that's what Green Lanterns like Hal Jordan do. Uphold the law."

So you think he's cool to kill the 10s of thousands of crew members on the Stardestroyer, but would have to arrest Vader?

Also either you don't think he's gonna get tagged by the hundreds of long range weapons on the Destroyer or that his shields/construct can soak them. Either way he's to fast and or to well protected for Vader to do anything to him.

Seriously if you think he'd missile spam a ship full of people why don't you think he'd drop a single missile on Vader?

"This phrase is just so F--KING ignorant it pains me to stare at it. Do you know how many Green Lanterns die on duty? Alot. From murder, explosions, self sacrifice the list goes on, because being a Green Lantern is a tough job that certain individuals are chosen to do. Only certain Green Lanterns, such as Hal Jordan or Kyle Raynor, have the strength and experience to be on the level of Superman and other great DC heroes, because they worked their ass off for it."

Relax 'Paco. Yes their are lots of Green Lantern, but its phrasing that in these sorts of situation generaly applies to certain group of them, like the one you mentioned. Given the context of our conversation, your self riotious indignation, I'm sure even you can see that. In fact given the context you'd probably been safe to assume I meant Hal himself. Who by the way you did just admit was in Supermans weight class, by the way. Just remember that, we'll get back to it.

Truth is I said Green Lanterns mostley to change up the wording and because it's more simplified and your nit pickery of said wording is no more usefull then say me derailing the conversation by pointing out that what time period you pull Vader from will effect his performance.

"Superman vs. Luke Skywalker? Are you f--king kidding me with that example!? Superman and Hal Jordan are completly different individuals with their own ideals and morals. They are not the same.. This does not help your argument at all. It makes you look like a imbecile."

Really? Seriously? We are going to have a conversation about personalities when we are dealing with this kind of power differential? Let me posit a question or few.

Caveman vs an SAS squad?

Caveman vs Spetnaz team?

Caveman vs a Delta Force A-Team?

Caveman vs SWAT team?

Who wins? I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you sided against the caveman in all of the above and I doubt very much that you factored in morals and personailty when you did so. Even though the SAS, Spetsnaz, Delta Force, and SWAT are very different groups with different training and missions.

Why would you do that? Well because at some point, like the point point at which it highley trained group of guys with guns vs one dude with a club. The specifics of the formers training starts to matter very little.

Lets back track though. Realising that ABC logic isn't perfect I'm still curious. You said Hal is a match for Superman and Luke takes on Vader in movies. Why then do you scoff at Luke vs Supes, but are okay with Hal vs Anni?

As for Hal and Clark's personalities* being a factor what is the difference in said personalities that makes you think they would fair radically different vs a Force user?


 * Note I realize others have worn the mantle of Superman, but I am assuming you meant Clark Kent as well. How ever if you didn't and you won't to go off on a heated diatribe about how persumptious and rude it was off me to forgot the others. Please don't, 'cause these are FICTIONAL CHARACTERS so I am not going to offend them, you do realize they are fictional right?
