Green Lantern: The Animated Series/Awesome

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • From the pilot: In his first fight with the Red Lanterns, Hal exhausts his ring's power supply. He then leaps off of a cliff, lands atop his ship, recharges his ring on the ship's engine, and blows away the Red Lanterns with a giant beam of Emerald Energy. Oh, and the music for that scene is pretty cool, too.
  • Razer's Big Damn Heroes moment in episode 3.
  • Saint Walker effortlessly wipes the floor with Razer in "Lost Planet". He doesn't even have a ring, he's just that Badass.
    • While casually chatting with Razer as if he were merely discussing the weather.
    • The Reveal of Mogo.
  • In "Reckoning" Razer blasting Atrocitus and rendering him unconscious after the latter revealed he'd caused the wars on Razer's homeworld and killed his wife to make Razer a Red Lantern.
    • Also in Reckoning, the VERY biased version of the history of the formation of the Red Lanterns.
  • Aya taking a level in badass in "...In Love and War".
  • "Regime Change", all of it. The kicker is the finale, though. Ganthet activates his secret weapon he hid on the Interceptor, a Blue Lantern battery. This releases a wave of hope which supercharges the Green Lanterns taking part in the battle. They then proceed to utterly mop the floor with the attacking Red Lanterns. This is followed by them using their supercharged rings to launch a self destructing tower into space!
    • At the end, the Blue Lantern battery travels into space. Blue Lantern Corps incoming? Hell yeah!
  • In "Invasion", Aya manages to fly through a forcefield beam being generated by the Lighthouse in order to get around the Red Lanterns guarding it, then turns the same defense systems which kept the Interceptor at bay on the Reds. Hal has nothing but praise. Too bad Atrocitus managed to reprogram her later.
    • Saint Walker climbing a mountain in search of a savior, and when he reaches the top he seemingly found nothing. And instead of giving into his despair, he refused to give up hope and would keep searching for a way to combat the Red Lanterns. The Blue Lantern of Hope flies down to him, and he sees himself in its reflection as the first Blue Lantern Ring appears out of it.
  • Kilowog in "Home Coming". He stands alone to hold back the Red Lantern Armada. He knows perfectly well that he's going to die and what does he do? Bring out his battery and recharge his ring for the last time. Never has "No Evil Shall Escape My Sight" sounded so awesome.
    • Saint Walker and Mogo pulling a Big Damn Heroes moment to save Kilowog and wipe out the Red Lantern fleet. Especially when Saint Walker channels the full force of Mogo's Wave Motion Gun through his ring for the finishing blow. Before that, Saint Walker's Establishing Character Moment as a Blue Lantern is to punch out a Red Lantern warship. That is entirely literal. He punches it and it is immediately disabled.
    • Hal's Heroic Second Wind.
