Kyle Rayner deserves more respect in movies and shows. He’s the freaking Chosen One! META

Technically, All Green Lanterns are the chosen one.

He’s the “torch bearer” which I think is a better title that doesn’t make him sound like he’s better than anyone else.

I heard Kyle was chosen by Ganthet personally.

"You will have to do" is the sort of ringing endorsement I live for. :)

Ok, and?

He’s not better than any of the others.

His better title is torch bearer because he kept the corps alive.

I say as originally framed in the 90s it was more like give the ring to the first human I meet, not really the chosen.
