Earth had that many lanterns because humans have some of the highest capability for will power in the universe, when hal Jordan was picked as green lantern his ring had to choose between, batman, dick grayson, John Stewart and probably a dozen others. Hal was just the closest

@@WadeProductions2131I think it was bcs the cgi was a big deal since the movie uses a ton of it. Like CGI shouldn’t suck in a movie especially if the main character’s super suit is made solely of CGI
I feel like I need more information. Because this is the first time I'm hearing of it. I'm not a comic book reader. I just go where the information is but still I wanna know more.
@@doubleedge2422 yeah I’m just wondering why they wouldn’t intervene🤣 In my head canon I’m just gonna say that because the martians were so isolated as a species, they weren’t even made aware of their existence. Another possibility is they didn’t intervene since it was a conflict between the white and green Martians and they didn’t want to in tangle themselves in their affairs and just let whatever happen, happen.
@@talapantedtoad6461I’m pretty sure the guardians are the ones who separated the martians into two groups so they would be too busy fighting each other to to go n dominate other worlds. Then things got a tad bit outta hand on mars n they all massacred each other.
In ‘blackest knight’ it’s revealed that earth is the birthplace of life in the universe, and where the entity of white light exists. No wonder so much goes down there
This is basically the equivalent of police closing down the precinct somewhere in deep south because if anything criminal goes down the locals just deal with it themselves because everybody has a gun.
Idk kinda seems like the Australia of the universe because the GLs looked at it and went "hmm, no, that's scary, these people are nice but nuts, I don't know how they keep surviving, I am now going to do my best to forget it exists"
I'm interested in seeing what they plan to do and exploring the idea of Krux worlds. I always thought Earth had so many GLs because it was apparently in the centre of the universe and is the most f***ed up planet, which I still think is kinda true.
@@maadtee6281mars was was to busted, just one of them without the fire weakness is equal/nearly equal to Superman. The guardians planned n started the chain of events that led to mars crumbling. Apocalypse is apocalypse, darkside is enough reason to stay away
@@MasterTemplar781 Except that Captain Marvel was always his intended name up until 2015 and even then is still called Captain Marvel occasionally in newer comics.
If that's DC's way of saying "we're gonna stop producing Green Lantern stories and this is why" that's just f***ed up and that plot should be discarded
That's not at all what DC is saying with this, Green Lantern's books are still being made they're just no longer taking place on Earth anymore. (Save for Hal Jordan if I remember correctly)
Nah this is DC trying to make the Green Lanterns actually matter as an intergalactic force. They look weak on Earth but making them characters that aren't revolving around Earth allows them to expand the DC universe and bring the GL Corps back as a powerhouse force.
@dbearded130 it also just makes sense to stop wasting resources on earth. 6 prominent lanterns all coming from earth within a couple years of each other shows that the planet has a will to live, and the fact none of those lanterns ended up the strongest on the planet or even close to with charecters like Captain Marvel, Martian Manhunter, Supergirl, the spectre, Flash, Lucifer, Demiurgos, Wonderwoman, Impulse, captain atom, Ms. Martian, Doctor Fate and of course, and Superman makes it clear the corps isnt needed there and that's just from memory I'm sure there are more examples of why the GL are kinda a waste on earth
@@bloody4558 Mars was specifically targeted to be fucked by the "Guardians" though. The Martians were each as strong as Superman, and the Guardians feared them. That's why MM is/was afraid of fire. The Guardians specifically set about creating a civil war/genocide on that planet.
It's been implied several times that the only (currently) life supporting planet in sector 2814 is earth, and that it's not until eons in the future that sentient life develops (again) elsewhere in the sector.
@@TheGreyTurtleEntertainment IMplied wrong then. There used to be many planets in this sector, including the fact that Abin Sur and his daughter both came from Ungara a life supporting planet in the exact same sector.
Im calling it now. With the Batman in Space series that happened. Batman now has dirt either on the Corps or the united planetary government. And they dont want that smoke. Either that or theyre concerned with Supes on earth we're gonna see Krypton II Electric Boogaloo
Well Oa has Dirt to collect and use against the guardians. Essentially the planet is a super library that has recorded data on all planets throughout the universe and on all individuals living on each of those worlds, most of it collected in secret and Illegally. That would get them in hot trouble with the galactic governments as a whole if it ever got out that they have vast information way beyond dangerous individuals of interest, galactic languages and laws/customs etc etc. If Batman knew and for some reason let it slip, it would spread like wildfire in the galactic community and The Guardians and their lantern core would lose the trust as a reliable peace keeping force for justice and would near instantly lose any influence and athority anywhere and the corps would be done for entirely. The entirety of space would turn against them. 💁♂️ I don't know if Batman knows but he probably does. Either way what I've said about oa is infact cannon as it's in one of the green lantern issues about the guardians but I don't recall which issues. 🤷♂️
That makes so much sense! I always wondered why Earth had such a high density of heroes compared to other planets, including more than one Green Lantern. After all, if a single Lantern is supposed to supervize a whole sector, why would one be assigned to just one planet, let alone more than one? Earth being "special" in some way makes the whole thing make much more sense to me. I'm usually not the type of person who needs or likes in-universe explanations, but in this case, I'm glad there is one.
@@willdavis3802 one of the more recent DC Earth-7’s probably wishes it had a Goku…ended being the base for The Empty Hand and The Gentry….and it’s heroes ended up being zombified (also was a pastiche of Ultimate Marvel)
I think they were mentioned in the DC Odyssey one as well where the heroes are trying to protect worlds to prevent the great Darkness from escaping and destroying the universe. I remember that comic Probably most for that world that got destroyed due to Jon Stewart's ego and due to dark side back smacking Superman like he's a toddler
So united plants was (Bendis) Jon Kent's idea, Green Lanterns: Nice going Clark Look what your boy did!!!! Damn it Superman: don't blame him he doesn't know any better Green Lantern: Why did they even listen to him? he's like 10 right? Superman: 😅 not any more he's Superman now Green lantern: how.... how long have we been gone? 😮 Jon Kent: Im sorry I don't know, My life the past couple years has been very chaotic, Inconsistent and not made a lot of sense. Superboy-Prime: you want some help, retcon punch anyone? Everyone: Mabye
Can Supes Prime retcon punch the writers to be people that actually like telling good stories instead of SJW DEI ones? Those are idiotically predictable and just sad to slog through.
@willdavis3802 He would if he could, it would be a funny story 😄 if he took the superfam to DC Comics on his world to see things. Clark and John would probably approve. Have a number of things that he disagrees with. Except for the part where Clark didn't get to raise his son and his son was TORTURE FOR YEARS in a cave, They definitely both have a problem with that and would want it fixed. Tom Taylor: but I wrote a whole series I gave him a whole arc. Clark: I wasn't really thier for that either was I Jon: I always wondered why you picked me when connor existed. I also wondered why The biggest responsibility in the superhero world on the planet was so easily handled by me Tom Taylor: because You're the son of Kal-el the future, For the days after tomorrow. Prime: And people wonder why trolls call superman an over powered larry sue? Superman: Prime professionals don't break the fourth wall, But you've got a point, Even I don't believe my own hype as much as some of these people do. I like a challenge you know. Jon: I WANT MY CHILDHOOD BACK
"DC has finally explained why so much goes down on Earth, and it turns out that Earth is a blinky-bloink. There are four other blinky-bloinks, though there used to be more."
"They have a dude who can punch the Source Wall and a dude who's restarted the universe multiple times by just running really fast. At this point, we're probably just adding insult to injury."
@@Frogman1212if i remember right then superman used to punch source war too ( not sure is animated or comic ) , not break it but enough to make some dmg
Guardians: "They'll be fine. They got the last Martian, an extremely powerful Kryptonian, about a dozen villain that are willing to put the whole 'villain' thing aside to assist the heroes, a genius billionaire trained in basically every form of earth combat, Alfred Pennyworth, a guy that can run so fast he can outrun time, some guy named Plasticman that Superman acknowledges as dangerous, and Alfred Pennyworth again. The man can break you with a disappointed look. Also there's some guy called Hawkman with the most confusing history ever."
In the future, it was because of Universo who used to be a Lantern. I forgot what his crime was as a Lantern, maybe trying to see beginning of creation. Later on his son became a Lantern. Legion of Superheroes timeline.
Poor Martian manhunter 😢. Anyways, marvel kinda did this during the whole convergence arc. Earth was special in the multiverse which was why it was the center of lots of conflict and the multiveses center of destruction
Well, it’s the green lanterns that can’t go to earth. Doesn’t exactly mean other lanterns can’t set up shop. For guy and Kyle, that’s as simple as switching rings 😂
Another reason I don't see many people talk about is stated by Destro in Virtue and Vice. He says "Earth is unique in this universe. Every other world has stamped out diversity among race and culture. Where so far, Earth has retained it."
Honestly, moving 2814 off of the workload for the Lanterns makes total sense. Having some of their most powerful Lanterns located there has probably caused some unshown issues that could have been prevented too.
I don;t think that this Crux thing needs to exist as it's the writers who decide to write where their stories happen, no one needed a justification for why the stories took where they did.
It basically doesn't make any sense in-universe. It's really because Earth is the planet the writers live on, and humanity is the species the writers are a part of. Other planets with intelligent life similar to ours should have their own wonder womans, batmans, alien super babies from outer space, meta-(insert species name), geniuses that can build a super suit, etc.
If memory serves..in the War of the Lanterns it's mentioned that "so many things go down on Earth " because its inhabitants channel/express all the emotional spectrum in such a degree..Anyway, after that run i gave up on the Lantern Mythos, as beyond Yellow and Green all the other colors/corps made no sense/were useless as they can be found in those 2!😊
Here's something I'd like to see in a story one day since there's so many earth lanterns. Have it to wear there's a criminal or supervillain that is wanted by the Corps but doing so would be in direct conflict with the Justice League. From there you can have seven league members versus seven lantern corps members in a big spectacular showdown
You'd think the Crux world would be more important to stories of the DC universe, Like Rann or Thanagar or Tamaran. But whatever. Make most of them Green Lantern centric.
This is horrible of the guardians. Not everyone from Earth is exploring the sector. Mars had a war and J'onn is among the few Martians left. Where was Abin Sur? Busy with Ryut or taking a vacation hanging out with Sinestro?
Love that Razor is canon now, but... this GLs being banned from Earth isn't even gonna last the whatever arc this is. They'll pop up in other stories, or the Ban will be undone. Too many cooks in the kitchen, Earth GL's have too much attachment to Earth, and also, Guy Gardner.
this just seems like a "what easy excuse can we make up to cover the fact way too much happens on earth to be any level of sensible" and the excuse they came up with is meh
I mean there are like 12 heros/gods that could solo the green lantern core(-minus earth lanterns) living in that sector why even bother wasting manpower on it
@jackmakila3776 I mean to an extent I get it but I also think if the most goes on ON Earth I find it wild that their final solution is basically "fck em" to the entire sector and not just earth🤣
This is just the most recent explanation. Earth has always been important. And would not hold my breath on this "edict" remaining. Where were the Green Lanterns when Krypton needed saving? They were not meta on their own. And all these worlds have been re-written entirely multiple times.
Both krypton and mars is a threaten to the universe because they have potential too high make them beyond what green lantern corp can handle So i guess the guardian doesn’t want to save them much Although kripton was has a green lantern coming trying to save it but failed if i remember right
@@vietcuongnguyenle8530 So then why isn't Daxam listed? (And note, they keep changing its status too. Remember, for Mon-el to be born to end up in the legion, the race has to have existed long enough for that to have happened, into the 30th Century)
This proves again that the guardians take there job like a business not a protection of the people Just bc earth has its own heroes it doesn't mean that they shouldn't protected What if a space level threat comes in that superman or Martian man hunter can't deal with it
