A not-entirely-serious thought on the prospect of The Ring 0

Forget prequels, DreamWorks. If you really want to make some fat cash off this franchise, I've got four words for you....

Samara versus Green Lantern.

Good ring vs. evil ring! Mask vs. icky black hair! Will power vs. well power!

I don't know how typical I am, but I for one would be there on opening night. In the front row. Taking bets. Anywhere from 5 to 1 on Samara to even-steven, depending on which Green Lantern we're talking about. Alan Scott could take her. Kyle would do okay. Guy Gardner? Build the casket in advance.

This is where the money is, DreamWorks. And I ask nothing more than a 1% cut for coming up with it. Think it over... before someone else beats you to the goldmine. The motherlode. The license to print money. The pot o' gold at the end o' the Ringbow.

...Yeah, I'm done.

Deleted previous comment, since I know, there are some people in this community crazy enough to like Samara's character.


But...
Hon, it sounds like a plan. Degrade her as much as possible.

Actually, it wasn't about degrading Samara. I just think it would be awesome to watch. But hey, if you wanna see her degraded, and that causes you to support the Green Lantern plan, more power to you. Because more power to you will mean more power to me.

And more power to me means more potential for corruption. Oh, yes. Sweet corruption.

(I'm pretty much indifferent to the Sadako/Samara debate. They both scare the crap out of me, and that's what really matters.)

In the comics, I have no opinion one way or the other about John Stewart. He goes right through me. He's just so clearly the token black guy, and personality is secondary; as a result, he has even less of it than Hal Jordan (whose magical return cheeses me off, which is why I didn't mention him).

On the show, John does have a personality, but not one I'm especially fond of. He's brash, arrogant, and lacking in the one feature every Green Lantern in the comics has shown: imagination. He uses his ring for flight and energy beams, and that's pretty much it. Alan, Hal, and Kyle have always used theirs creatively, taking advantage of the full range of its power. So does John in the comics... but not on JL. Any other Green Lantern would be cautious when facing this bizarre magical enemy, but the animated John Stewart would just attack Samara head-on -- and get wiped out.

Actually, in season 3 they're finally having him make cool things. Like giant mecha robot suits. :D

Anyhow, you know Hawkgirl would just beat Samara over the head with her mace, anyway. It's Thanagarian anti-magic.

This moment of extreme nerdiness brought to you by college decompression.

Sauron could kick all their puny asses. Well, he could get his hench-orcs to do it anyway. Kinda hard to actually kick anyone's ass when you're a giant disembodied flaming eye as cool as that is).

I just had a weird thought - what if Sauron wore contact lenses?

Dude, I hate to tell you this, but Sadako/Samara would just wipe them all out. I mean, the get their asses handed to them by a Ranger, for god's sake. Sadako is a dead uber-esper, with a penchant for killing people in a disturbing was. I mean, it would boil down to the eye vs. The EYE.
