With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

As long as they stay away from Earth, they can turn into vegetarian navel-gazers for all anyone cares...

Spoiler: Commentary spoilered for length

I hope that proves correct.

Ah, that didn't take long.

I'll bet she does...

Missing full stop there, Mr Zoat.

It's Batman. That logic will prove remarkably astute, no doubt.

The ship's probably better tuned for warfare than 'freedom'.

Another odd point of difference...

Double space there.

One more example of Grayven-50 wanting Vassals. He made the classic mistake of wanting no-one but himself in charge of anything.

One shot, one kill. Solid idea, but we've seen how well that worked.

Dialing home? interesting.

Damn.

So, it wouldn't identify any other method that Batman might have planned. Because you know he'd have something.

Damn, another option blocked.

And I bet John's hoping it was the latter.

Like shining a lantern in the night, hoping the lost ones see it...

Well, well, New God of Swagger. Let's see what you've got.

YES! Cue happy dancing amongst the thread.

...All that stress... And you weren't even there? Argh!

One thing at a time, Swagger-boy. Do you want an angry Thanagarian momma bird and her Green Elemental baby-daddy mad at you?

Well, that's good news. Admittedly, we kind of expected her to be fine somehow, but it's nice to have it confirmed!

Godspeech:

 

So its just Batman and the Genomorphs who are MIA, thats actually bad as it probably cuts down on the chances that Bruce and the shiny new genomorph is alive.

 

*misplaced

 

No sighting of Batman 50, though. That may have consequences long term.

 

Should be 'misplaced'.

I guess Kanto decided to hedge his bets in case Grayven 16 pulled a win over Grayven 50. Smart man.

 

Meh; he'll turn up. He always does. And if not they can always turn up in whatever Hell he landed in, walk up to the throne he commandeered by right of conquest, and tell him it's time to come home.

 

Oh thank Zoat. This was going to be the second worst Martin you'd have done, after Teek'l. Thank you very much for not doing that to us.

 

Called it.

Right down to the Genomorphs dying due to being the equivalent of his pet cat.

 

Thank you, corrected.

 

I am unreasonably happy that Sunset is OK. I know almost nothing about MLP and my original thought was "Ponies? WTAF?!? ... but Sunset has grown on me.

 

Genomorphs are a group mind, remember? As long as a good number of them are still alive on Earth, it doesn't really matter if a particular batch gets killed. Even the unique ones like Ixy can have their memories downloaded from the collective into a new body.

 

Exactly, it doesn't matter that they died.

 

Fucking hell I am so looking forward to the arc where Sunset returns to Equestria. If Zoat killed off best waifu Sunny Bun, I'd have legit rage quit on him! And I'm sure I'm not the only one.

 

That Arc will only be interesting if Renagade get's turned into a Pony.

 

That is not enough to make it interesting.

 

Eh, it wouldn't be the first time we had multiple Renegade episodes in a row.

What, you thought he'd let her stay dead?

 

Sure it is, because you can't use a power ring or hold a sword as a pony.

 

It's funny that you think that.

 

Okay, we don't beleive Batman's actually dead, right? He is too much of a Gary Stue to die to a mere FTL god weapon.

 

A power ring can't be used by a pony? Why do you think that?

 

My bet is : either Batman got thrown back into prehistoric time (ie the plot point that happened a few years ago when he was killed by Darkseid in the comics), or he jumped into a parallel universe (which one ?)

 

He knows that because that's how Vaerworld works.

 

There is literally a horse-like equine green lantern named Brin.

 

The main problem is that Ponies don’t have fingers. He’d either have to put the ring on his unicorn horn, or turn it into a bracelet.

 

That doesn't sound like much of a problem at all.

 

He might not become a unicorn, and the bracelet thing might not necessarily be possible. Then again, I’m assuming the ring can grow and shrink, so size of the thing it goes on doesn’t really matter.

 

Wrong:

Also wrong:

 

Nah, the chance of him becoming a unicorn is pretty low. Much higher chance he becomes one of the local god equivalents instead which means either an Alicorn who also have horns, or due to his connection to Apokolips one of the baddy versions. Strangely those ones seem to often have fingers.

Of course, even without that there's nothing stopping him from, say, tying it to his mane.

 

I'm looking forward to it. It'll probably be pretty interesting watching how that turns out when Conquest gets pitted against Friendship, especially given how "empower my underlings" and "convert foes into allies when possible"-focused his powerset is, and thus how Friendship-adjacent it is - and that his presence there in the first place would be happening as a result of his friendship with Sunset.

 

We've already seen it grow, that's what happened when the Renegade took the Venom Buster Formula way back when.
