The color yellow has been the ultimate "Green Lantern Kryptonite" for decades of comic books. But does the yellow weakness exist in the DC Animated Universe, or is DCAU GL OP?

    ok but if you think about it Parallax living in the central battery can justify the weakness to Yellow entirelly: - the Lantern rings are connected to the Users mind on a subconscious level, right? - so if Parallax who is the Yellow Light of fear is inhabiting the Central battery then it means every Lantern is subconsciously aware a parallax - the Green light of Willpower weakens when exposed to ANY Fear, not just the Yellow Light of Fear therefore Yellow works on lanterns because they ARE Subconciously afraid of yellow. Why? because Yellow represents the biggest fear a Lantern could ever have: the Fear of Fear Itself

Flash: being disconnected from the speed force, or the cold. Wonder Woman: being tied up. (Her creator was kinda kinky) Batman: bankruptcy. Hawkgirl: disruptive memories.

    Possible that Parallax in the DCAU is just classified and most Lanterns, like the one in Batman Beyond's time period, were just told something like "The Impurity took millennia of work to remove" without having the nature of what the impurity was explained cause it wasn't important. It's just a little bit of trivia like "In those days we had to deal with X" that the older guys in the Corps joke about.

    Because that is exactly how it works. You can overcome your fear, which allows intermittent resilience against yellow. Here, it would be more like yellow gas always worked because John Stewart just assumed that it would in his head, it was a weakness that he made up and the yellow impurity took hold of that. Other times, when he showed weakness against it, was because like the suitcase it was solid yellow and he was aware of it. When it did work against yellow, it must've been surprising for any Green Lantern, but if they tried to replicate it, they wouldn't know why it wouldn't work a second time. The avoidance of it is because at this point, they didn't know about Parallax and hence the exact way to combat it. You instinctively put up a shield regardless if you're weak against it, some times it worked, other times not, and you would never know why, but a 50-50 was better than just taking a hit without trying. Which is why John still avoided yellow beams or tried to throw green energy against yellow shields. A weakness does not have to be absolute.

    I never really felt the color yellow being a weakness was too goofy, but the WAY it was so often such an impediment in the comics, like GL couldn't think of any other way to defeat someone wearing yellow, that was often worth an eye rolling.

    I think it's also important to mention that the yellow impurity was officially taken away from the GL comics once Kyle took over with the last power ring made uniquely for him. Implying that the guardians had the ability to take away the impurity before the parrallax retcon. I think this had a play in how lax they could be with the weakness in the show and leaving it in as an homage makes a lot of sense. It's definitely there but can fit in the space where the Guardians can take it off once they trust that the lanterns won't turn on them like the manhunters turned on second 666/in dire situations

  • @Theycallmetomu

    Giving the ring weakness to yellow is like taking an ability flaw on a tabletop RP character to get some extra feats. They removed the weakness at the cost of something else when they realized the weakness was too problematic. As for the QOTD, if I had a green lantern ring I would make ... well I'd start making simple shapes in order to feel out the capacity of the ring obviously. You know, kind of like a telekinetic stress ball. Then, since I associate green lanterns with psionics, and psionics with crystals, probably some crystals. But like, what would I WANT to make? I dunno, nothing the lantern rings make is permanent, and it's not like I'm fighting supervillains or anything. I'd probably just use the danged thing to fly.

    Worth mentioning that, while probably unintentional, the word that "parallax" derives from can also mean "to change" or "to exchange". Which kinda ties in with the idea that a parallax is a change of perspective (whether literal or figurative), and can be seen as relating to anxiety and fear being either a useful survival mechanism or a crux in that moment.

    Maybe it's not a known weakness. Perhaps GL is only weak to yellow if he doubts his willpower. Something subconsciously makes him doubt himself when he sees yellow but he can overcome it by being especially determined. When facing Sinestro, GL is already esoecially deterimed to win so he has a built up defense against yellow. When he us hit with Jello-O, he isnt esoevially on guard so the yellow gets through as he doesnt deem it as a real threat. So, he is only weak to yellow when he doesnt think he will be weak to yellow or caught off guard.

    Arguably, the guardian's 'dealing' with the yellow weakness might not have been them just snapping their fingers to remove it, it could have been a battle, even the expression and the way he says it, that they 'dealt with it', treats it like a problem, not an intentional flaw to limit the power of green lanterns.

    In case anyone's wondering, the art on that Alan Scott part was substandard, because that was work by Mart Nodell, the guy who first drew Alan Scott back in the 40s. He also gave us the Pillsbury Dough Boy. The Alan Scott retcon was, IMHO, a bad idea. Not because I object to Yalan Gur - I like that part - but because of the Guardians being able to switch off the yellow weakness at any time. I sez: Yalan Gur found the Starheart on earth, used it to patch the yellow weakness, and the rest of the story proceeded in much the same fashion (including the Guardians making his ring weak to wood). In other words, the Guardians can introduce weaknesses, but they don't. The yellow weakness, on the other hand, was real.

    One time in the comics, Hal Jordan realized that a space ship that had been painted entirely yellow still had to have vents for its propulsion system and that the entire interior of the ship is not likely yellow. Guess what happens when you will the lantern energy to enter those vents and start breaking the propulsion systems and all that energy suddenly has no where to go and be used?

    3:58 I don't really get why this was when Alan Scott's original ring (he got a GL Corps ring at some point and his daughter obtained his ring's powers in her body, long story) already didn't work on wood. Even though it was powered by _magic fire,_ he uses an actual damned magic lantern, not a battery. Apparently it was later explained that the magic fire was tied to The Green (the speed force equivalent for all plant life and thus the source of all plant-related powers with characters like Poison Ivy, Floronic Man and Swamp Thing (whose comics were the source of the color name power sources like The Red for animals (which ironically includes Beast Boy) and The Grey for fungi which is not to be confused with The Rot aka The Black which is associated with death or the Black Light of Death which represents entropy and is apparently somehow not directly tied to The Rot) being conduits and/or avatars), but still a weird weakness.

    Yeah I'm guessing from everything that it's there, to an extent, in some GLs, but it's not telegraphed for obvious reasons, and doesn't completely nullify the green energy, just works better against it (& maybe specifically yellow energy/gas, not really solid objects, unless it's jello). I like the idea that overcoming fear is in play too, and DCAU John hasn't really overcome it like his Justice Lord counterpart, but would be immune to the yellow impurity is he was, like Jessica becomes. Then at some point the Guardians are able to remove it completely. Hey maybe Kai Ro is weak to wood

    Just because the bald green lantern says the guardians remove the yellow impurity, doesn't exclude that the yellow impurity was parallax. It just wasn't how Jordan who removed/freed parallax from the central battery. Could have been the guardians who put them in a different cell, or their attempts to stop his influence of instituting the purity caused him to get free, or any other number situations. The situation with parallax could also be a secret and so the average Green lantern doesn't know about it and is just told that the guardians removed.

    That Assbar scene where Batman paints everything including himself yellow to screw with Green lantern is so goofy it feels like a weird silver age comic. I wondered what Frank was thinking ever since I saw that. The entire book is weird though, he was probably high when he wrote it (which actually was surprisingly common in the 90s even with some the best writers like Alan Moore, this one is just a bit later) so it should probably be seen as an exception.
