Green Lantern: The Animated Series

• And the Fandom Rejoiced:
  • Bruce Timm. That is all.
  • This sizzle reel from WonderCon 2012.
  • Saint Walker of the Blue Lanterns appearing in the show. Then the Blue Lantern battery came to him.
  • One word: Mogo.
• Complete Monster: Atrocitus. Which is surprising compared to his comic incarnation that while he is the incarnation of rage, he isn't the incarnation of sadism. To the point where he's the one who engineered the civil war on Razer's homeworld AND killed his wife to turn him into a Red Lantern.
  • Needless to say, Razer is somewhat annoyed upon discovering the latter.
  • Though it's worth to note that his Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds backstory is still canon in this version. It's just inadequate when faced with what he currently is.
• Ensemble Darkhorse: Razer. Nothing else to say.
  • Even when his only appearance was a few seconds in a sizzle reel, fans adore Saint Walker. This became ever more apparent when he appeared in the show came off about seventeen times more badass then he's ever been in the comics while keeping his characterization completely intact.
• Fan Dumb: Several fans considered the series Ruined FOREVER by complaining about the Red Lanterns not being bloodthirsty mindless berserkers like they were in the comic, forgetting that there have been many good superhero adaptations that took departures from the original comics, and that this would allow more Character Development.
• Fridge Brilliance: In "Heir Apparent", it's easy to suspect Ragnar's plan to inherit a Green Lantern Ring had gone wrong when Kilowog's fake ring construct doesn't produce a uniform for him.
• Jerkass Woobie: Razer
• Magnificent Bastard: Atrocitus; it says something this guy was Dangerously Genre Savvy enough to Out Gambit Hal, who in this continuity is a very Genre Savvy and competent Guile Hero himself.
• Moral Event Horizon: For Atrocitus, the reveal that he murdered Razer's wife to manipulate him into becoming a Red Lantern.
  • Ragnar crosses it twice: the first time by killing his planet's Green Lantern so he can get his ring and trying to do the same to Hal and Killowog when it fails, and a second time by ordering his own sister to be killed in "Regime Change" (though it fails, since she escaped).
• Portmanteau Couple Name: Razaya for Razer/Aya
• Tear Jerker:
  • From the premiere, Rev's Heroic Sacrifice.
  • Razer's backstory.
  • Razer reciting the Red Lantern oath on the verge of tears, due to the shame he feels on having to rely on his rage as a source of power.
  • Ganthet being banished from Oa.
  • Aya's Single Tear while being brainwashed by the Reds.
• What an Idiot!: Yeah, go on, Ragnar, kill a Green Lantern in order to become one. His ring will surely judge you worthy for that...
