Hal: Hey Bruce, I found a way to get rid of the Joker without killing him!
Good ending for the Injustice timeline
I’m pretty sure they would object to that the same way they objected to the justice lords in the animated series
I wonder if the Indigo ring malfunctions on Joker, distorted by his individual perception of the world, much like how Wonder Woman's lasso of truth doesn't work on him. The lasso of truth only works on beings if they have an understanding of truth and lies, and the Joker is so warped that it doesn't work on him.
@GiratinaofFury That's some BS plot contrivance right there. Over 90% of his appearances Joker knows the difference between right and wrong, he'd never get the insanity plea under real world laws
easy solution
Indigo Tribe Leader: **kills innocent Green Lantern**
Everyone: “Well that wasn’t very *”compassionate”* of you.”
The Green Lantern was close to dying at the time, so they most likely saw killing him as an act of mercy.
After watching your video and coming away with a much better understanding of what Indigos are, I would have to say the only people who would (should) want to be an Indigo lantern are people who are evil, but want to be good.
If you aren’t a sociopath seeking to feel emotions, there really isn’t much reason to want to be Indigo.
Very true
Thanks dude
How about someone who just likes performing random acts of kindness?
@@MetaKnight964 that’s for blue because he puts hope into people
I describe the Indigos as unique among the other Lantern Corps because they do not "recruit". Rather, one is sentenced to the Corps, as punishment for unspeakably selfish cruelty.
I love the Indigo tribe so much. They've been my favorite corps ever since I first found out about them
I honestly prefer the old story where it was a parasite and they were able to break the brainwashing but still be able to feel compassion anyway and kept protecting the universe
@@Dastardly_Duoexactly that’s what I was used to reading. Once you were emotionally strong enough the parasite stopped being your enemy and became your ally. But I have loved this tribe since they were made and in my honest opinion there’s no other tribe for me. I’d take accept their ring without question.
I didn't read much comics and from what I heard before, I thought it went both ways. One could become an indigo for having genuine compassion, just like with the other corps, or be one for having none whatsoever. I didn't think of it as forceful enslavement but purification, absolution, healing, tranquility inducement and restoring internal balance.
Well, for example during Blackest Night iirc Ray Palmer became Indigo. And he was not enslaved. Genuine compassion, all that. Of course initial purpose of Indigos as designed by Abin Sur was to prepare for Blackest Night, Rise of Third Army and etc. Secret army for dark days. Recruited from people nobody would miss. Like Iroque. Who did start feeling genuine compassion and remorse after some time passed, as shown by even in New 52. So you were right, in a sense.
omg there's no hope in indigos?! wow so scary
It'll be nice if Todd McFarlane would make some DC MULTIVERSE action figures out of the Indigo Tribe.
19:50 During Blackest Night Ganvet was able to use his Guardian powers on all the rings to make them find temporary members among the survivors. This demonstrates that even though the rings were created through different means and channel separate emotions, they all have a base code of instructions based on the Guardians programming. This is why the ring went looking for a replacement when Black Hand died (again) we've actually seen a similar response from rings when other corp members of different corps die.
Yeah this is basically what ganthet says when duplicating them
Proselyte certainly keeps within the mysterious aura surrounding the Indigo Tribe in that its origins are something of a mystery. The other entities were transformed from normal beings when they first demonstrated (for the first time in the history of the universe) their corresponding emotion. For example, the first being became the Willpower entity when it first willed itself to move. Greed came from the being who ate something when it wasn't hungry. The Hope and Rage entities were born of the first prayer and murder. Proselyte, however, states that it and Compassion have existed since the very beginning of time.
"Rage grows from murder. Hope from Prayer. And at last, compassion is offered to us all."
It should be noted that the Indigo Tribe acts a lot like Carol Ferris did when she was possessed by love back when the Violet rings were stones.
kinda
Is Hal shattering the Indigo Central Power Battery a impressive feat?
I don’t believe he did directly I believe that was natromo
Honestly I still want the indigo ring because seeing ray Palmer and john stewart makes me think there CAN be exceptions to the rule. Plus i also believe in redemption. And it was also a headcanon of mine that their constructs can also inflict compassion on others. So if i could use the ring to do that i totally would. Yes the indigos before were evil but id still wanna be part of it because I believe in redemption and reformation and using that power on bad guys would be my ideal super power
Wanting the ring isn’t compassionate. There can be exceptions to the psycho stuff but even they have severe trauma that makes them feel compassion for what they’ve done
@@LumosTheromax i took some time to think on it and yeah…indigo is kinda evil in a way. So i guess my favorite corp is the blue lantern corp
@@ifranco0202 cool! Definitely a good way to go
@@LumosTheromax i do feel bad though. I love reformation and i thought that having the power to fill people with compassion would be good. But whats the point of compassion if it basically makes you mindless? (Still my second fav lantern corp though just from how interesting the concept is)
They are authoritarian compassion, not libritarian. Not to be political but DC went there with this direction.
Great video, very comprehensive. You have a lot of compassion for your subscribers!
I appreciate that!
You forgot to mention the few times when compassion filled individuals like John Stewart or The Atom who had compassion join the Indigo tribe
I didn’t need to because they weren’t consistently compassion lanterns
They also had horrible things they had done making them capable of wielding the purple rings
Wait so are people saying it’s fine to give psychopaths and murderers free reign? It’s not like once you go indigo you are forced to be evil.
I've always said I'd be a Green Lantern because the rest of the emotional spectrum in the DCU aren't good except for Blue lanterns which are good but often described as practically powerless without a green lantern around for some reason. All of the others on the supposed emotional spectrum are various levels of crazy.
Facts
4:00 I always thought that was more of a mercy killing
Fair
So, the implementation of the compassion power battery was what was wrong. The rings were specifically made as weapons instead of compliments to one's compassion.
Yeah they were made to pacify the guardians
Correct me if I'm wrong, in Blackest Night, Ray Palmer was chosen as an indigo lantern because of his compassion, not a lack thereof. As such, he had full control of his mind and his ring.
He didn’t choose
He was selected by the corps and he also felt horrible for getting another superhero killed, something he blames himself for it
@@LumosTheromax Isn't being selected and being chosen the same thing in this regard?
@@trevorsreya8277 I think I misread you claiming he chose it
But those lanterns weren't under normal circumstances regardless and short term
Me who got Indigo when doing a test on which Lantern Corps I’d be part of: o_o
Hopefully if I was one I would be able to break away from the tribe and their whole “brainwashing” beliefs and from their practices of forcing others to be compassionate as well. Compassion is about having remorse for other people and caring about them, whether they feel the same way about you or not. Truly compassionate people care for everyone, even their enemies. And obviously this can prompt others to feel compassionate as well. Just like the saying goes *”A true act of random kindness always sparks another.”* But compassion is never FORCED onto someone else, not sure why DC went down that route. Perhaps them using it as an example of “guilt tripping?” Who knows honestly, but I don’t feel like it should be said that anyone who posses the power of compassion in the emotional spectrum is a brainwashed manipulative psychopath. I mean… Atom was an Indigo Lantern once right? He wasn’t brainwashed. And so was John Stewart at one point and he wasn’t brainwashed either. They were both just compassionate people and the emotional spectrum recognized that and they both became lanterns powered by Indigo’s light. Overall, as we’ve seen, all members of every Lantern Corps have manipulated the emotional spectrum for both good and evil deeds. The emotional spectrum definitely isn’t as black and white as you might think, except for the ACTUAL Black and White Lantern Corps lol.
John and atom weren’t brainwashed but they had done horrible things to be capable of wielding the rings
@@LumosTheromax That just doesn’t make sense to me… what the heck DC?!
@@huntercool2232 only people who have done genuinely terrible things are capable of compassion in large doses
John destroyed xanshi out of his own arrogance killing… who knows how many beings
The atom blamed himself for the death of a friend because to be honest he was responsible to some extent.
@@LumosTheromax yeah but that doesn’t make sense in the real world. That’s more along the lines of “guilt” compassion and guilt aren’t the same thing.
@@huntercool2232 true but this is dc and not the real work in terms of the mechanics we are working with
Excellent assessment/synopsis. Well done!
Thank you kindly!
It looks like when people choose to wear the ring, like John Stewart, Ray Palmer and Kyle Rayner, then they can use it similar to a Green Lantern ring (with some differences) and are still under their own mental control. But if an Indigo ring is forced onto someone, then it forces compassion into them and changes them. I'm sure Abin Sur and Notromo made sure the rings could do both on purpose. They had to test the rings first, right?
It does make sense for the Indigo Rings to be able to control people. With the corps being all about compassion, it does give them a way to subdue a psychopath without using violence.
Their goal wasn’t to subdue psychopaths non violently their goal was to convert the guardians of the universe into having emotions and the corps we see now was them testing the rings
Do not worry. I always accept Indigo and Ultraviolet Lantern Corps are that these two are the best combination even for Spice Girl Emma Bunton.
Lol
@@LumosTheromax I thought Indigo is Compassion?
Honestly I'm more of a red lantern really as far as what emotional spectrum I'm closest too the second would be green maybe blue after that.
do a lantern war thing? The most powerful lantern member of each corp in a battle royale after covering all the corps?
Sounds like a plan!
There will also be plenty of crossovers soon
@@LumosTheromax noice cant wait to see it.
Big brain idea.
@@WallyWestEXE thanks!
Kyle going completely apathetic to be chosen by the Indigo to be the white lantern
can you cover ALL the lanterns or can you cover all the new additions apart from the regular spectrum ?
I plan doing all corps even those that are lesser known like the lantern of the golden corps
@@LumosTheromax thanks!
@@jhonnyforyou4850 Anytime dude thanks for the hype! Sub for more!
@@LumosTheromax already have
What would a Green, Indigo, Purple, Blue and a Wisdom based ring hybrid Lantern be like? In my eyes, Love would be a Magenta Lantern, while Wisdom would be Purple.
Interesting
You can only really use compatible emotions together. Because blue destroys the red you see? And honestly the only emotion I’d want unfortunately hasn’t been made. But if I had an emotion then for me it would be judgement. And yes judgement is an emotion but also an idea based on the feeling of superiority.
MINE would be orange
Well, the actual Indigo Lantern tribe is a lot less cool than what I thought a compassion "corps" would be. Not sure why they make them so confusing.
I like the indigo tribe , but the way the corps works kinda need to change a little, and the rings need a power up too.
Ooh i love a good power up. What kind of power up?
Like , give the indigo tribe hability to make constructs, and more healing prowess , and in my opinion , they should keep also using the rings.
@@celsopereiramagalhaesjr3216 i think they can make constructs... At Least i think the indigo chains and binding stuff is a construct(could be wrong but i think they male constructs. I think i saw john stewert make some with an indigo ring) but i love the idea of them being the healing corps basically or having the best healing(in the world where lanterns are replaced by lightsmiths i believe indigo is called the light of empathy)
I think we need more indigo tribe members who willingly joined and weren't brainwashed like the temporary ray palmer.
@@scary-sounds this also. Have more menbers that joined willingly , were recruited by the ring , for having a lot of compassion too. Specially now , with the indigo tribe being stretched so thin in the galactic battlefields. They need more tribesman into the ranks.
@@celsopereiramagalhaesjr3216 oh yeah they do. We need tk see more compassionate people willingly joining.
i feel like if you want to add more or tweak the rings powers a good place to look might be empathy related powers. That's the alternate name the indigo light has in a universe where it's all about lightsmiths instead of lanterns.
I'm curious where Black Hand's ring is going. Will it seek out someone with great compassion or none at all? In other words, will we learn if the Indigo Tribe is using compassion correctly?
Wish we found out
Compassion comes from the state of transcending base emotions. Maybe thats the point they are trying make.
Not sure that’s the case
No one I know picked the Indigo
Lobo killing the indigo tribe was just stupidly by dc
Facts lobo was just throwing hands with many corps on that era
Shouldn't The Joker have been inducted ? Or is he technically not a candidate because Indigo-1 is from 2814?
Who did Black Hand's ring recruit?
I’ve argued this for a long time that the joker should be inducted
And we don’t know who it recruited
Imagine if this ring recruited one of Us!
Joker be scary😬
My corps would be blue , or red ,or green , or even a violet , I have a strong presence, I don't know if this qualifies me for a Sinestro corps ring , when I want something , I want it strongly, but I am not evil, so I don't know if I am cut out for a orange ring , but I do have all these emotions , so I think I am cut out for a white ring! Even one of my químic teachers on my school in my gimnasium years , that liked marvel and DC comics , Said that I would be cut out for a white lantern ring. And I do have some compassion!
No rings are evil
It’s more about what you do with them
Agreed!
Could I get a list of the issues surrounding this arc so I know what to pick up next time I hit the book store.
Most of the revelations we get on the indigo tribe are early on in the new 52 outside of that blackest night
Why can't those who have and feel genuine compassion be indigo lanterns? What if the person doesn't fit in any other lantern corps?
You can feel genuine compassion but the strongest compassion requires the most emotional disturbances and that’s why the strongest indigos are horrible people. They’ve done horrible things and as a result they feel terrible about it. The more horrible, the larger amount of compassion.
It’s not that normal people can’t use the rings it’s just that they would be so much weaker
@@LumosTheromax ok I think I got it I've done bad things but nothing as bad as like murder or any other really dangerous things like that I feel compassion in the sense of I care about others and do what I can to help so if I'm qualified then I'd be a weak indigo lantern
Some good person was a compassion lantern temporarily it was in "blackest night"
@@godversesans5152 true the atom became a compassion lantern for a short period but if you read the comics he does he’s not the best
The best truest compassion lanterns are the crazies
Joker with an Indigo Ring just saying him and reverse flash
More like Indigo= compassion? Nah
It would be interesting if there was a Golden Lantern Corps with the emotion of pride that indoctrinate potential ring-bearers by showing them all of their accomplishments like an antithesis to indigo
There is a golden lantern corps actually but I agree pride or honor (albeit neither are really emotions but neither is greed) would be awesome ideas to use
@@LumosTheromax Yeah
Gold is the quintessential color associated with emotions like pride and vanity. It writes itself really.
@@concept5631 I agree anything would be better than the golden lanterns we got 💀
Could be a bronze lantern corps emotion : pride!
@@celsopereiramagalhaesjr3216 Bronze Lantern Corps.
I love the idea
who do you think is the most powerful green lantern corp member in base form
Larfleeze no doubt
In base larfleeze seems to have the rest by a long shot. Hal Jordan and Sinestro outside of him. Unless you include Kyle as a white lantern and he is just buuuuuusted
If it’s just green lanterns then easily Hal
@@LumosTheromax defo
Anxiety (vantablack) corps oath.
In brightest day
In extroverts sight
Leave me alone
That is my right
To those who'd drag me to the light
Go away.
Vantablack's might
Interesting idea
I did a quiz on which lantern corps i belong to i got indigo tribe of compassion and I don't fake my compassion and you're saying only those who don't feel real compassion can be indigo lanterns😮😮😮😮😮😮
Yeah no one understands the indigo tribe
@@LumosTheromax but what if I do the quiz again and still get back indigo tribe I did the quiz twice and got indigo tribe explain that
@@afreakaboucher1316 I’m not sure why you put so much faith in some quiz lol
Online quizzes on dc content are stupid lol
They don’t even understand the corps
@@LumosTheromax I was just wondering and curious
@@afreakaboucher1316 it’s fair to wonder but what I said was the answer
Online quizzes are clueless
#TheJoker could use a ring, no?
21:57 cus they’re badass?
Hell yeah
How did Hal free sinestro from their grasp?? Maybe I missed it in the vid but why would Hal want Sinestro to be back to normal? Knowing he's truly an enemy to the Green Lantern Corps and honestly every other lantern corps that's not his own
Because Hal thinks what the indigo tribe is doing is morally questionable and he respects sinestro enough not to strip him of his free WILL
Something Hal feels strongly about
Ray?
?
Another ring that acts as a parasite much like orange ring of greed
Sounds like the writer who is/ was doing the series was just a giant edgelord.
This isn't as edgy as Blackest night
