    "Why do you love saint walker?" Hope. Hope is why. Saint walker, in terms of sheer will power and strength of heart, has got to be the strongest character in the D.C. Lantern mythology. His life before becoming a lantern, before starting his journey to become a lantern, was filled with so much strife and pain and hardship and yet he was so determined to keep going for his family. Then on his journey to become a lantern, his literal journey up a mountain was submerged in so much hard ship with the death of his children and the death of his wife and the fall of all the things that motivated him as a person and yet he still kept going at the behest of those who loved him, telling him to keep going to find this legendary messiah type character, and then even once he reached the top, even once he found the peak and found that the legendary messiah that he was looking for was nothing more than a reflective stone he did not quit. He did not just give up hope and kill himself and view his journey as a failure. Instead he accepted himself as what he was and held onto his hope and was granted a power battery as a result of that hope. Saint walker is, in terms of determination, one of the strongest characters to exist in the D.C. Lantern mythology.

      Willam Webb Saint Walker's origin embodies the blue lantern core. From what I remember he was the last hope for his people's survival. He lost his family, but came out of it stronger.

  • @jasonholland6370
    @jasonholland6370 7 ปีที่แล้ว +42

    My reason for liking Saint Walker is, basically, his attitude. He's kind of a "Get Knocked down 7 times, get up 8" thing. His view is that no matter how bleak things may seem, there is always a (Blue) light at the end of the tunnel. Things will turn out for the best and he believes this with every fiber of his being. In other words, as Walker's catchphrase said, "All Will Be Well...." and it, honestly inspires me. Makes me believe things will get better.
    On an unrelated note, I was thinking that the GL lore should have "Anti-Lantern" rings:Basically the like the rings we all know and love but with their colors inverted and representing the polar opposite emotion their Original Counterparts have
    To Wit;
    Anti-Red:Calm
    Anti-Orange:Charity
    Anti-Yellow:Bravery
    Anti-Green:Subservience
    Anti-Blue:Despair
    Anti-Indigo:Cruelty
    Anti-Sapphire: Hate
    Just a silly thought I had.

    @MassayukiSama 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I love seeing all the 4 main GLs back together, Geoff managed to make them all seem like different interesting individuals despite having the same powers, I hope that the writers manage to make Jessica and Baz just as good, since those two have also interesting backgrounds and provide diversity on a way that respects old character's legacies.

    So, Rob. The reason why I love Saint Walker so much is honestly the reason why I like the idea of the Blue Lantern corp so much? They are sort of just a symbol of hope. With Saint being the most notable (In my opinion) of the Blue Lanterns to date he invokes that feeling of hope that some folks just don't get in their day to day life. Sometimes people just need that.

    @yuiwaileung 7 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    I like Saint Walker as a character because Blue Lanterns are essentially very similar to Green Lanterns in that they can manifest power from even the most dire situations, which make the most sense that Saint Walker would be the last Blue Lantern left since he never loses hope, making this next story that much more amazing.

  • @luckyowl1681
    @luckyowl1681 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Well, you summed up my reaction to hearing Larfleeze being the man behind Brainiac in this story. I also like that the Sinestro Corps, no longer lead by their founder, join with the Green Lanterns.
    Hm... Personally, I don't know enough about Saint Walker, at least compared to Larfleeze, the guy that, had they emotions, would have frightened the Guardians, and it took the Blue Ring stuck on Hal (with a glorious bit of comedy gold as to how he gets it to work) to even the fight. He's my favorite because while he is a villain... he's both simple-minded and complicated, and is only "actively" malevolent to those that anger him. He's goofy at points, unstable, but he's long-lived, experienced, and to a degree (aside from his comical solo series) still an intelligent foe.
    But again, that's Larfleeze, MY favorite Lantern.
    I think Saint Walker... they like how genuinely mellow he is, I guess? I read comments down below being that, even in despairing circumstances he doesn't give up Hope. He wields it. His power literally is to help and keep others going when even the greatest of heroes could give into despair, into rage, into greed, or into fear.

  • @greatparthos
    @greatparthos 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I love St. Walker because when he says 'All will be well' you know he means it. You sometimes tell people that without really knowing what the future holds but St. Walker doesn't hesitate he knows All will be well. His hope and how every part of his character reflects that.

  • @DoomRulz
    @DoomRulz 7 ปีที่แล้ว +123

    I felt sorry for Kyle when he lost his White Lantern powers and became a Green again in a recent issue of HJatGLC: Rebirth. I mean, they presented it as something awesome but I thought, "Dude, you've been demoted. What's to be happy about?"

    • @loganflowers564
      @loganflowers564 7 ปีที่แล้ว +28

      DoomRulz I know I was pretty angry at that he hasn't even been a white lantern for 10 years I hope he gets it back soon somehow?

    • @PatG563
      @PatG563 7 ปีที่แล้ว +24

      When his ring split into one of each individual color it's more of a celebration of the emotional spectrum than anything. Do wish he could become a white lantern again soon though!

    • @NoctisCaelumV13
      @NoctisCaelumV13 7 ปีที่แล้ว +19

      Yeah I hope he becomes a White Lantern again soon, it was just more interesting frankly and there's a lot of stuff we still don't know about it. And I imagine he will some time in the future.

    • @andyx181x
      @andyx181x 7 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      Tell me about it, especially when you see the original covers for hal jordan and the green lanterns it showed Kyle was to STILL remain a white lantern and it looked like he was going to revive some of the dead GL's like Bodika. Also the fact the ring split up into the six other colors doesn't make sense because his main green one evolved and channeled those emotions, he didn't merge six other rings together.
      I have to say that was insulting to make Kyle seem like he was lifted a burden of being a white lantern, the power is so underrated and it should be elevating him to a higher level as a hero in the DC universe.

  • @StevetheWizard2591
    @StevetheWizard2591 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Personally, I like Saint Walker specifically because of what he represents.
    He isn't just "A Blue Lantern", he's THE Blue Lantern. He doesn't just inspire hope, he embodies it. When he gets involved in a Green Lantern story, it marks a move toward things getting better for the heroes.
    His return to the DC landscape signifies that DC Rebirth is going to have a much larger "return to familiarity" than just returning the characters to close to how they were before the New 52. I think it sort of represents that there are going to be more "hopeful" stories, the types of stories where the heroes can win without compromising their rules.
    Sure, there are still going to stories with Lobo and Killer Frost, and there are going to be angsty Batman stories, and Dark Trinity is still going to be a thing if people keep reading it, but introducing "hopeful" stories doesn't mean getting rid of the gritty stuff.

    Saintwalker is incredibility forgiving, patient, and humble. I loved the scene in Blackest Night when he was consoling Atrocitus over his lost. Or after Blackest Knight, when they were reburied the dead. Flash dug over 200 graves in under a min, but Saitnwalker took the time to say a prayer and ask forgiveness for every last person who that needed to be reburied. (the panal made it seem that he would be there all day.)

  • @zakhelekgomo6951
    @zakhelekgomo6951 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Saint Walker is just awesome, I think subconsciously a lot of GL fans like him so much because as we saw in the Geoff Johns run, Hope and Will are quite the combo, essentially Saint Walker represents the badassery of the Green Lanterns, with a Blue Lantern nearby a Green Lantern's power is nearly infinite and vice versa. I personally think the Blue Lanterns are the best creation to come out of that historic Johns run, they seem like they will play a huge role in Rebirth with the whole theme being Hope and all that so I am really excited about that.

    To be fair my experience with Walker is from the cartoons.
    but I personally find his personality and approach to things to be refreshing and interesting.
    Hope isn't about force, and it isn't about displays of power.
    Hope is not weak, and it is not strong.
    Hope is persistent, constant gentle but hope is unrelenting.
    Hope is selfless and that makes him different than front line fighters.
    Walker is a Sage and a curiosity and his existence is just different, filling a void that you can't with a powerful construct.
    What I have seen of him is a hero I want to know. Not fueled by rage or fear or desperation or violent circumstances, but by something we all persistently need, Hope.

    Saint Walker is a character that is literally the embodiment of Hope in the DC universe. Saint Walker always hold a positive attitude which shows in almost every page he is on. Walker's ring is also great in his own right to show that faith grows when others join him. Walker also shows a spiritual side which not a lot of mainstream characters do so it is really refreshing to have that. Saint Walker with the GL Corp is one of the best things coming out of DC Rebirth.

    Well Rob, I can't speak for everybody else, but I just like Saint Walker mostly because of how laid back his character is, since the Blue Lanterns get their power from hope, without having to say it, he's got the I got this persona. Also I like the fact the Blue Lanterns get their power from Hope since that's something the world badly needs & I think it's a cool idea real or not. I hipe that helps, keep making the great videos.

    Saint Walker has a great backstory filled with loss, gain, dispair, and hope. His powers are pretty sweet as well and personally, im a big fan of his calm yet cool demeanor.

    I personally like Saint Walker because his character speaks to my own philosophy: "All will be well." People today have so much fear, so much anxiety and they're all over the place, but I myself am productive and calm because as long as you are giving it your all, all WILL be well. You don't have a lot of Zen-type characters in comics that are just chill and give people the idea that things will be fine. He's that guy and I love seeing him in the Green Lantern books because when all seems lost and things are at their worst, Saint Walker shows up and all will be well.

    Well I love saint walker because he plays on the whole 'monk' aspect for me. In every game since I can first remember, I always loved 'monks' or the idea of 'monks'. The pacifist that when forced into action, they KICK ass but never kill. I always loved the idea of just the whole 'cool monk' perspective. Now put THAT in with the idea of a ring lantern based all around 'hope'. Then you get saint walker. Hope. No matter where you go. No matter which comic you read. No matter what movie you watch. Hope is a universal term that carries weight behind it. Yea there is will power, Yea, there is FEAR, and of course there is anger. But when people mention hope, it's a mood changer. It's something that raises spirits, something that can't physically grasp but can DEFINITELY be felt.
    Although I'm not NEARLY as good as explaining things in such an epic ass way as you are, specifically because my english isn't just on that level quite yet. I will say hope is just such an amazing idea, an amazing belief that stands the test of time. DC, Marvel, etc. Just in general life. You have HOPE for when things are bad. You don't give up HOPE. Instead, you continue to hope in the worse of situations that things will get better. With WILL power you can continue on and keep on fighting! With hope and will power, anything is possible! So a lantern corps based purely around hope. Is one of the most BADASS things I can ever dream of!
    I know that doesn't really explain why specifically I like saint walker more than the rest of the blue lanterns but, he's the most 'monk' like of them all and just like hal jordan, he's given more 'facial' time than the other lanterns. So that's why I like him more. i got to see more of him. I like his always calm attitude. His monk-like stature. His very corps. Hell even his name and looks just screams "serenity" and "Peace be with you brother~".
    Saint Walker. Hell, red is my favorite color in general things but seeing him always makes me want to wear a blue lantern ring RIGHT there! If I was given a choice to choose between all the lanterns. Even white and black, I'd probably choose blue. Although I'd definitely take some time in choosing between red, green, and blue...I think blue would win over all because I feel like it's the most 'monk' like corps. I feel like green is more like 'warrior'. Yellow is "DPS". Red "Tank dps" And blue is "support monk".
    Anyways, that's my reasoning on why I like saint walker so much. Although it isn't really much to go on. It's what I have. The journey that he went on to BECOME a blue lantern was freaking brutal man...Like...Painstakingly brutal..losing all of his loved ones. But no matter what...he held on to hope.

    I think Saint Walker is cool for several reasons. !. The concept of the blue lanterns is awesome. They represent hope, are an answer to the red lanterns, and when partnered with a green lantern it is amazing!. 2. He is such a unique character personality wise. I like him because he doesn't have another character that is similar to him in DC in that manner. 3 blue is a great color and he looks really cool. 4 - it's kinda like larfaleeze in that Saint Walker has been a part of some amazing stories and adventures with each of the big 4 GLs so his presence brings that aura of something great is going to happen.

  • @TheBullfrog100

    Personally I love Saint Walker because no matter what is happening either on a global/universal stage or to himself he is always just chill. He never seems worried as he is Hope personified. When in a battle scenario regardless of its scale he just bounces around narrating the futility of trying to defeat him as Hope will always survive just like Saint Walker. Also he is Awesome 😆😆

  • @DO9000J
    @DO9000J 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love Saint Walker because of his ability to keep cool, calm, and collected and in turn, hopeful, in most situations. Because he and the Blue Lantern Corps emphasize hope, it's like everytime you see them appear, you feel relaxed, as if everything is going to be all right. "All will be well" is pretty reassuring. These are also reasons the Blue Lantern Corps are my favorite Corps.

    Hey Rob,
    I love your videos, thank you so much for all the reading and hard work you put in to make them. When I hear you speak on the afterlife it seems like you're not a believer. You seem like a very intelligent man, and I know you must enjoy reading. If you ever so happen to read this please get into a bible, read it and see if it starts to make a lot of sense to you. I truly think it would help you more than you could know. I know reading the bible has completely changed my life. I'm sure it would do the same for you as well. Thank you for your time.
    God bless you bro.

    I like Saint Walker because when the shit hits the fan, when all hope is lost, he still believes they can win in the end. I remember one issue in particular where the home world of the Blue Lanterns was attacked and he was front in center in the fight. Even though their power rings can't really do to much by itself in combat he fought hard to win. I respect that.

    sainy walker is good because of how chill and relaxed he is, and his character represents hope and redemtion in a way because in his backstory he faced alot of tragedy having all of his family die, but instead of being depressed he chooses to be optimistic and has hope that life will get better.

    My biggest reason for loving Saint Walker is, he embodies hope. the almost unwavering belief that the future will be better. but more importantly how that hope works with Will.
    When will is with hope it gives hope the power to make that future better.
    the main ability of the blue ring is to heal, and is primarily defensive.
    As the great Saint bro'dee Walker says "All will be well."

    Saint Walker is your cool cousin who's always taking a laidback aproach to life, and still he is getting things done. He is the embodiement of hope. Someone who says "Life is hard, but everything is gonna be alright", and mora than say that, he shows that.

    I know for me it is because despite his countless losses that never seem to end he keeps going. Not because of duty or revenge or even pride but because he has hope that things can be better or will get better. That no matter how dark it gets his example of seeing what others refuse to see gives them hope. Not a naive kind of hope either but the kind that is more akin to a warm blanket. It might not be tomorrow or the next day but it will happen.
    He is that friend that when you got wronged by a good friend and were sitting on a step outside where you used to live in the rain. While wondering what to do because of the loss of a friend in betrayal, the lack of money to move forward, a vehicle to pack, and for the night. He hears about it and just shows up. He shows up and sits next to you and just sits letting you know he is there before you cry a little. Then instead of hugging you or injuring your pride he just says lets get a pizza. So you do and then end up back at your place last night eating pizza and without a word he starts packing your stuff up. All into his car and house letting you stay the night and use his shower despite the fact he has so little himself.
    Saint Walker is that guy that gives without question and gives you a glimmer of hope. That maybe you can get back into the game.

    hope is one of thoses rare emotions that speaks to the reader. we dont battle monsters on the regular or speak to reality warping creatures once a week. what we do experience is hardship and tough times. hope gets us through that. Whether it be from comics or other places, saint walker embodies the one emotion i believe can over come anything. all will be well. it really will be.

    Saint Walker is a really cool character to me because of his concept. He's the ambassador for Hope in the universe, and his main power is to heal, and give people peace. He's a man who, despite watching his entire family die one by one was still hopeful and kept the mindset of "no matter what happens, I will keep my faith. *All will be well*" and that is something I think everyone wish they had the chops to do. This character was able to reverse the process of a sun dying, saving en entire planet just by saying *"All will be well"* ... do you know how much power that is? He's able to heal on a massive scale, even healing Arkillo and giving his tongue back

    Just guessing, I'd say the cartoon network computer animated show on the Green Lantern is probably the reason Saint Walker is so popular...
    That's where I was introduced to him, if my memory serves me.
    He's got such a cool, traumatic & epic origin story!!!
    Hope springs eternal.
    I'm not sure how the CN Show's version of Saint Walker's story compares with the DC Comics counterpart but...
    Saint Walker is just such a quintessentially GOOD character...
    His morals, his natural born leadership skills, his faith & pias character. He's a hero in every since of the word.
    HOPE, is a great emotion in general & the color BLUE is a cool color!!!
    😎💙💙💙
    Plus, the nature of how blue lantern rings work; the ability to enhance the power of green lantern rings' contracts is awesome 😎
    And having the weakness of Blue Lanterns not being all that spectacular when not in presence of a green lantern is neat to boot.
    Saint Walker's "alien" physiology looks cool too.
    He's physically scrawny/shrimpy but that doesn't stop him from being great! People probably relate to that. I do! Saint Walker is relatable, I guess I'm saying...
    ...and that's all I have to say about that.
