    This is one of the most beautiful and saddest stories I've heard here on Origins.

    In fearful day, in raging night,
    With strong hearts full, our souls ignite.
    When all seems lost in the War of Light,
    Look to the stars, for hope burns bright!

      Saint John actually has lots of willpower. If anything, its just that he got a much greater hope than his already great willpower (which is why he can create constructions with the blue lantern ring, without needing a green lantern nearby).

      That's fucking stupid logic. If leaves his family behind and succeeds (which he did), his family would survive. Now, he saved his planet, but his family is dead anyway, because he was a moron and personally led them to their deaths.

    • @Solemn_Kaizoku
      @Solemn_Kaizoku 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Saying, "I was born having faith in my god" sounds good, but I encourage you to know why you believe what you believe. If you don't, when trials come, your beliefs may be blown like chaff in the wind. Root yourself in the truth, and your faith will stand like a tree planted by water. Faith is only as good as what you put it in (e.g. trusting a rickety, 3 legged chair to hold your weight won't end well), so make sure what you trust is indeed trustworthy.
      I'm a Christian as well, so please take this as someone trying to help make you stronger, not someone trying to dissuade you. Two great resources I'd recommend are The Case for Christ (book or movie) by Lee Strobel, and "Why I Believe the Bible" by Voddie Baucham.

  • @TuxedoElf
    @TuxedoElf 8 ปีที่แล้ว +107

    Nicely done, you did embellish a bit I noticed, but it made for a very good narrative. However for the sake of accuracy, it should be noted that Walker *never* referred to himself as the messiah, or gave himself the title of 'saint.' He's *way* too humble for that. Also in his first appearance in Green Lantern, he says he was honoured with the title.
    Also, the sun didn't shrink, it grew younger.
    A lot of people have issues with him taking his family, but if you read the story, his home town was full of rioting and his temple was set alight. He probably felt they'd be safer with him. He made an impossible decision.
    My only issue with the Blue Lanterns is the whole 'they need a green ring to fully function' thing. Walker's hope has *never* been an idle hope. Right from the start, the messiah didn't come to him, so he decided to go to them. He pressed on through the harshest of conditions and has always fought to defend people. That should be enough willpower to fully unlock his ring!

    • @ingonyama70
      @ingonyama70 7 ปีที่แล้ว +17

      I agree. Hope and willpower go hand-in-hand, so I love the idea of the power boost from the two working together. However...
      Just like love, or rage, or greed, or compassion, hope can be a powerful motivator. I moved all the way across the US, not once, but three times, based purely on hope for a better life on the other side. It was only the third time I moved that actually paid off, but it DID pay off. My hope gave me the will to go forward, like Walker's did him.

    • @JuandelaCruz001
      @JuandelaCruz001 6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Curt Clark The expectation (HOPE) of a better life for yourself is driven by something deeper; TRUSTING or BELIEVING that such an endeavor is not futile and in fact, possible (in spite of low chances or uncertainty). . . that's called FAITH.
      To hope is to have faith.

    You could be. Hope isn't religion. Saint Walker's hope is channelled through his religion, and that's what makes it powerful for him. For someone else, it could be channelled through the hope that they could be happy after leading a miserable life. And yes, it could be channelled the very way you said. There's always hope :)

      Hawkman k i'll take a green ring too. But green lanterns seem the least free out of all the lanterns.

      @zettovii1367 9 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Hawkman But Blue Lanterns are not only about "just being hopeful" you also need a lot of Willpower to enforce the Hope. After all, most Blue Lanterns got next to no powers besides force fields and flying unless they are empowered with a great willpower charged green lantern ring.

      Actually, considering that the other lantern rings pretty much controls its user in 1 way or another (the orange and indigo lanterns being the worse since they overwrite their users minds completely), I would say that the Green Lanterns are the most free, since you get to keep your own creativity instead of the mind the ring enforces on you.

    I wasn't aware of this origin.. I mostly knew of Saint Walker through the Green Lantern: Animated Series and his origin was told quite differently. Not sure now which to believe. But either way.....

      @LadyRavenEyes 8 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      It is both the strongest and the weakest at the same time. It weakens or completely negates red and yellow energy and makes green energy more powerful then it could ever be on its own. But hope alone can do vary little it neend will = green orone of the other posetive energy rings working with it. Just like in life hope alone is not enough, if you never act on your hopes
