History YMMV / EmeraldTwilight

* MisBlamed: Creator/RonMarz was accused of single-handedly destroying the old Green Lantern mythos, but the story and outcome was DC's idea, and Marz was merely tasked with writing it.

* FridgeLogic: So, Hal supposedly managed to either kill, defeat or steal the rings of every Green Lantern apart from himself at the time, right? What about the more esoteric and [[BizarreAlienBiology bizarre]] Green Lanterns? How did Hal beat them? For example, there’s Dkrtzy Rrr, who is a living [[FormulaForTheUnformulable mathematical formula representing willpower itself]], which would make him close, if not akin to, a [[AnthropomorphicPersonification living concept]]. How the hell did Hal manage to defeat a sentient, abstract mathematical equation to begin with? You can’t punch or kill math. Another example of that would be [[GeniusLoci Mogo]]. Stealing his ring and leaving him to drift in space wouldn’t be enough to kill him, since drifting in space is literally what Mogo does all the time. Did Hal somehow destroy the entire living planet?

** After 25 years, most of the controversy surrounding the storyline has died down, and it's now considered one of the best Green Lantern storylines ever made just for the sheer amounts of HSQ present (This is probably helped by the fact that Creator/GeoffJohns retconned Hal's descent into evil by explaining that he was possessed by the living embodiment of fear Parallax).

* SignatureScene: The cover image for ''Green Lantern'' Vol 3 issue 49 depicting Hal Jordan grinning evilly while wearing multiple Green Lantern power rings on his fingers remains the most memorable moment from the series, to the point that it was given an homage in the ''WesternAnimation/GreenLanternTheAnimatedSeries'' episode "Larfleeze" and on an alternate cover for the sixth issue of ''ComicBook/PlanetOfTheApesGreenLantern''.

* {{Narm}}: The cover with Hal wearing ten rings in each of his hands with a manic grin. It honestly crosses into SoBadItsGood territory - one can't help but think of Hal saying "Look at all this BLING!"

** After 25 years, most of the controversy surrounding the storyline has died down, and it's now considered one of the best Green Lantern storylines ever made just for the sheer amounts of [[HolyShitQuotient HSQ]] present.

** There is also a somewhat vocal minority of Green Lantern fans that later (primarily following his resurrection) started to agree with Dc's reasoning for making the story (Hal Jordan was boring and needed to be replaced) and that his time as Parallax was actually the only time his character had something going for him.

** After 25 years, most of the controversy surrounding the story-line has died down and many agree that without it, its one of the best Green Lantern story-lines ever made just for the sheer amounts of [[HolyShitQuotient HSQ]] present.

* MisBlamed: Ron Marz, full stop. The man was accused of single-handedly destroying the old Green Lantern mythos that some people wanted him dead. This is ignoring the fact that this was actually DC's doing themselves.

* HypeBacklash: ''Like you would not believe''. Green Lantern fans were ''furious'' over DC's destruction of everything Hal Jordan and the Green Lanterns. So much so that they actually formed their own group demanding the automatic restoration of everything they removed. Ron Marz would take the biggest amount of heat due to being the guy writing the storyline.
