This is hilarious,"Sinestro sucks,Zoom sucks,Zod sucks,Adam sucks" but Cheetah,is awesome,Circe is awesome,Psycho is awesome LOL LOL LOL.
See what I mean about Azzarello fans and their jokes? If he didn't create it, it's not good enough for them.
Yeah except Sinestro,Adam,Zod etc were not created by Azz.
Here I'll make it simple for WW fans,First Born is a lousy villain in a rogues gallery of lousy villains. Saying First Born sucks while Psycho/Circe rocks is plain stupid.
You tell me what is so good about the concept of Sinestro. Not something that he´s done, because I could write a chapter of Wonder Woman where Ares kills Superman. You can write a character to do anything. What is good about the actual concept.
Also I like professor zoom and Black Adam. What I don´t like is when archvillains just literally have the exact same powers and look as the character they are facing. It is boring. I don´t mean that you can´t write them to make them really good, but rather that when you get villains like Superman vs Lex Luthor or Braniac, or Batman Vs Joker, Spawn Vs Clown, Captain America Vs Red Skull, Professor X Vs Magneto and yes Wonder Woman Vs Ares, its more interesting for me. Because what makes them archvillian isn´t just the are a character who is just some inverted version of the superhero, it is because psychologically, philosophically and in there very iconography they are something so opposed to the hero, so challenging to everything the hero believes in that they seem connected. They make eachother pure archetypes.
Now I haven´t said Sinestro hasn´t had good stories; its true he´s had better stories than Ares, but as an archvillain he is of the garden variety anyone can think of that kind. Oh our hero is a human chosen by advanced aliens to wield a weapon powered by will, which allows him to think of anything he wishes and is only limited by imagination. Sinestro, oh lets see, he´s another green lantern just yellow and powered by fear, (yellow being Green Lanterns weakness). Um, sorry an invisible or stealth jet is dumb, but a superhero whose weakness is yellow thats awesome. If Geoff Johns, who practically the head of writing staff now hadn´t totally revamped all the characters and written a great arch for Green Lantern, nobody would care about Sinestro. He literally got made in the early 2000s in terms of being seen as a great villain. If you went back to the 90s and told anyone Sinestro was a great villian, they would have laughed there ass off. Just like before "52" the comic no one really thought Black Adam was that great. It was their revamped origin that was great.
So again the question stands how in the hell is Sinestro essentially a good character, like The Joker is? How, not things he´s done but the basic concept.
And calling Ares AND CIRCE as a concept bad is pure stupidity, so I suppose Ancient Greek literature that has captured the imagination of people for around 3000 years and the character Ares God Of War which has been used in countless different mediums to great affect sucks, but a yellow man named Sinestro is more awesome as a concept. Lets see maybe Zues sucks as well, how about Hera, Circe whose villainy goes way beyond comics and is beloved in the Odysessy, hey even Medusa and all ancient Greek Literature is boring and the characters are no way as good as Sinestro. Sinestro most badass concept ever. THATS RIGHT GREEN LANTERN WHOSE FILM AND ANIMATED SERIES WERE CRITICALLY PANNED HIS GREATEST VILLIAN CONCEPTUALLY IS BETTER THAN PROBABLY TWO OF THE MOST ENDURING CHARACTERS IN MYTHOLOGY, SARCASM.
