The Divine Hand wears a Ring
Saturday, August 09, 2008
I've always thought of Green Lantern's ring as probably the greatest deus ex machina generator in the universe. Every time an enterprising Supervillain comes up with a diabolical plan to destroy the world, the Green Lantern has to just use the power of the Lantern to come up with a perfect foil which is only restricted by the power of his imagination. And it doesn't help the Supervillian's cause that a good imagination is a job requirement for the Green Lantern Corps.
"Oh Lordy! It's a Tsunami! And I just bought this beachside apartment. Who's gonna save us?"
"Fear not, local populace of the coastal areas. I am the Green Lantern and by the light of justice I shall construct this gargantuan commode in the middle of the ocean and flush the troubled waters down. Let there be light!"
"Isn't that God's line?", asks an impertinent young boy only to be silenced by his mother.

About This Blog
The Loony Lampoonist serves to parody, spoof and satirize everything that needs to be parodied, spoofed and satirized. Due to the fictional nature of this electronic journal, any anecdotes appearing here ever so often that seem to be personal in nature, would suffer from the effects of conflicting personalities, the creation of fictional events and the inclusion of non existent characters who did not make it to the big league in the author's literary works. Thus, the Loony Lampoonist is also a purgatory for characters and ideas that have missed the limelight.
