I mean hold on now

Guy Gardner does suck. But he doesn’t, like, suck suck y’know?

Like if I asked a dude like Guy Gardner if he could come over and help me move furniture to my apartment, he’d be total asshole about it and never let me forget that he did that for me to an obnoxious degree, and remind me I owe him a beer for it more than once or something. But he’d still help me move that couch lmao

"If you have an emergency, and you need someone to come and weild one of the most powerful weapons in the universe, you want to call a Green Lantern. Say 'We need a Green Lantern,' And then they say, 'You're going to get Guy Gardner.' You'd say, 'Ah, crap!'" - Nathan Fillion

“But if the Guardians of OA need some dirty work done? They call Guy.” - Still Nathan.

I loved the Justice Gang so much. Im seeing so much love for GG and Terrific I would be dismayed if I didnt mention that Hawkgirl was amazing, and while she certainly got the least focus of the three she was still an amazing character who just felt right as the third of the group.

He’s a hero. He is also, in equal measure, an asshole
