Fridge / Green Lantern (2011)

Fridge Brilliance

• The Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters video game, in its loading screen will occasionally show a message along the lines of "The Green Lantern Ring generates its bearer's costume, based upon physiology & culture", which just seems to be a note about every Lantern having a different costume. The Fridge Brilliance kicks in when you realize that there's a piece of free DLC available, which unlocks Hal's costume from the comics... or rather, unlocks a re-skin of his movie costume to resemble to one he wears in the comics. The ring is generating Hal's costume based upon if the player is more familiar with the comics or movie.
• Sinestro didn't steal the newly-forged Yellow Ring which Hal advised that no one should use... it broke out on its own and chose him.
• Many complain about the entirely digital costume used for the live action version, but it makes sense. The suit is created out of energy, so using real materials would destroy that illusion. It doesn't look realistic because it isn't meant to, being made of energy.
• In the training fight between Kilowog and Hal, Hal's green-light boot-to-the-nads hits Kilowog like a battering ram, yet Hal propels it with nothing more than his own leg strength, which would likely make it hit like a foam brick. The obvious reason is that the boot is made of green-lantern energy, and thus would be controlled by the imagination of its creator, so it would weigh noting to Hal, but provide an appearance-appropriate amount of force to Kilowog. Additionally, the follow-up move; getting a chain around Kilowog's neck and pulling it hard enough to make him do a full front flip, would never work in common Earth-bound physics, but as Hal is a Lantern and the chain is a lantern-ring construct, the only thing keeping him from succeeding would be Kilowog's reaction time, which was negated by the nut-shot.
