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

Ouch talk about a hit to the pride.

 

A Gammadion is a cross made of capital Gammas, which in turn look like upside-down capital Ls.

So, basically, the name of this episode is Swastika.

 

Well, that's not foreboding at all.

The Reach plot interests me a lot, so I'm happy we are back here.

Will we see more of Paul's involvement with that or will it be left to the people he delegated too? Also, what's the status on getting the Oans to play together again?

 

Does LEGION still stand for what it did in the comics? Cos I'm not sure if that acronym makes perfect sense in this context

 

Ah, catching up with the lady love. A nice warmup for a new episode.

Spoiler: Commentary spoilered for length

Impressive. I suppose it could be a religious thing, a way to keep the upper echelons of their government grounded...

Heh. I'm sure the black market and smuggling trades were in full swing...

The folly of not getting to know your neighbours, played out on an interstellar scale...

Good to see a fleet presence. At least Jade and her fellow troops won't be stranded if things go sour. Assuming OL wouldn't come running as soon as he learned of it.

Pffft... Seriously? Their cover's blown, they should just cut their losses. I thought they were pragmatic...

Ah. Make a big fuss to keep them looking the wrong way while sneaking more ninjas in. Too bad NEMO is already wise to that trick.

Heh, nice way to vocalise the names of a species that doesn't have a primarily spoken language. (For certain values of spoken, like using human pitch and phenomes.)

An impressive shift from the typical Cheshire, likely due to OL and the Orange Light use she had...

I'm guessing the term 'caveman' was bandied about... Until she kicked some asses.

And yet she's still the same Cheshire, in so many ways.

Huh, some people still getting hit by the MINEMINEMINE-bomb, eh?

Heh. All of a month and she hasn't even used it, has she?

Well, she's got a leg up on some of the League members in keeping up on the news...

Few people have the character needed to channel two different lights, especially ones towards opposite ends of the Spectrum. The Renegade gets away with it by alternating, and he uses two lights adjacent to each other...

Also, no "It's the Cake-Man!" I'm sure that's a bonus.

At least Paula can keep up with Artemis' Dannered physique a little?

Ah, OL, blundering into bad conversational routes as usual.

He sounds so proud. Don't forget the one or two disabled or otherwise out of combat, like Rocket Red.

...Because if they put their mind to it, they could do a real number on Earth? Yeah... Not waht you want the League focusing on, especially with OL trying to nudge the younger Sivanas towards good.

And we're one episode closer to April Fools. From what Ganurath said, I foresee either Nazis or religion playing a big part in this episode...

 

Yes, I tried to work out an alternative and came up with nothing. Any ideas?

 

Several, although an explicit statement on the function and methods of LEGION in this continuity, especially as compared to the Orange Corps and Darkstars, would help moisten up the creative juices.

 

Hey what does the OLC do with lanterns that have misused their rings, but haven't been driven crazy by them, like those in the blue cells?

What is their policy on that?

Are the Controllers going to figure out a way to turn assimilated people back into regular people in your story, and if so then what year?

Will they try to use the white light to do so, you said that they will try to gain access to it to safely bring someone back from the dead?

Can people that were magic users in life and get assimilated still use magic, aside from those demons that OL assimilated?


Is there a way to turn assimilated people back into regular people in the comics?

The only time someone came back from assimilation happened in a fic i read where the assimilated MC was brought back using the blue light.

 

Will the paragon get to use a ring of a diffrent color in your story, like the renegade?

Aside from that time he used the star sapphire to make a demonstration to Jades roommate.

 

it doesn't have to work in English

maybe the acronym work in their language ( which ever one Brain 2 like to use) but not in English since the individual word make no sense

 

Maybe just change it a little bit? Something like Licensed Extra-Governmental Interstellar Operational Navy?

Since it's a navy that works with the various governments neighbouring the Reach but doesn't answer to any of them

 

Should call it the Orange-Affiliate Naval Service, just to be cheeky.

 

Depends what you mean by 'misused'. So far there haven't been any major non-insanity related disciplinary problems from people integrated into the Corps proper, because Dox is filtering them.

I have no plans on this topic.

The Controllers? No.

The SI doesn't know.

Yes, one top-tier goddess turned Larfleeze's entire Corps back.

I'm not aware of blue light ever doing that in comic canon.

Yes, it does.

I originally planned that he would. I don't know if that will still happen.

How is that cheeky?

 

The acronym. What do you call people from Oa?

 

I don't think that the Controllers would go for that.

 

Can i have a link about that goddess turning them back, that is if you remember it?

The only gods i remember Larfleeze facing in the comics were those Tuath Daan guys, from his solo series?

What was her name anyway?

 

I should play that game one of these days.

 

Steam's Winter Sale is on right now, so it's a pretty good time to buy new games in general.

 

It's worth it just to listen to the narrator.

 

I actually went out and got it. I'm pretty sure I let myself get fucked over by losing one adventurer to the Farmstead and two more to an expedition.

 

Sena, I think.

 

Yes, Nabu is still fully capable of using magic and Ras al ghul still uses Alchemy, though neither is using an internal mana source.

 

Isn't that New 52 continuity? I believe you've linked to stuff from that before, but it's still surprising.

 

While Worm fandom is notorious for confusing fanon with canon, it's hardly the only one.

 

Ol' Uncle Wayne June.

Nah. That's part if the slow horror of the game...valued comrades are ultimately...replacable.

 

To DrThoth

Yeah Zoat did add several characters who were first introduced in post flash point, Hyalt(a new god weaponsmith), the new 52 version of Trickster, that blind woman who he made an orange lantern, or even characters that were introduced pre flash point but had their stories and histories explained in the new 52, Ratchet comes to mind.

He also added that whole Superboys kryptonian name meaning abomination, that was introduced in the comics with the whole H'el thing and Kara, unless it was mentioned in pre fp continuity.

 

LEGION as an english acronym hardly makes sense anyway, but there's no reason that "Legion" can't be the closest translation of the term most commonly used for this force. You could say it translations as something like, "Legion of Allied Interstellar Security Forces" which most people refer to as the "Legion". The conceit being that it's not just the navy built by the Controllers (though that makes up the bulk of the forces) but they also accept ships contributed by interstellar polities allied in anti-Reach activities.

Which makes sense... Darkstars and Orange Lanterns are their own thing, but the Legion provides a place to integrate forces contributed by allied polities who want to be part of the anti-Reach alliance.

 

Think I've found another continuity error.

In the recent 'episode' you introduced Mirror Master as being someone the league didn't know had a successor, but you introduced him a while ago.

 

Mr Zoat has this to say: https://forum.questionablequesting....si-thread-fourteen.8938/page-447#post-3014980

 

Yeah, the only thing that doesn't cost a cent are lives
