Lem's Solaris and Mogo[edit]

Seems to me there's more than a hint of Stanislaw Lem's famous "Solaris" here (I've never even heard of this particular series, since I stopped reading 'Green Lantern' decades ago. ;)

I don't think I have to stretch any argument too far to make this case, even not knowing anything about this storyline: it's a pretty unique concept (i.e. not the idea of magic planets per se; but planets which "shapeshift" somehow, using regular, but higher-order physics).

So shouldn't this be mentioned in the article, then? After chasing down whether this supposition is true or not, of course.

It's also the plot of Colossus and the Crab, a 1977 science fiction novel by the British author Dennis Feltham Jones (writing as D. F. Jones). It is the third and final volume in "The Colossus Trilogy" and a sequel to Jones's 1974 novel The Fall of Colossus. The first book was made into a film The Forbin Project, and reportedly was to be remade by Ron Howard starring Will Smith, unfortunately which has not happened yet.

Also, the Wikipedia article for Ego the Living Planet (a similar article) links to Boltzmann Brains, a thought experiment with a similar premise (though this thought experiment is irrefutably nonsensical garbage).

Prophecy[edit]

I think the description of the prophecy is a bit off; I thought the blink bombs were tools of the Children of the White Lobe, and I remember that they did wind up being central to the use of Blink Bombs in the actual attempt by the Sinestro Corps to kill Mogo. If anyone has a copy, can you correct that or point me out wrong? Complex.confusion (talk) 14:23, 11 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Independent sources[edit]

@Rhino131, you said that there's a reliable independent source, but which one is it? There's so much in-universe cruft in the sources list, that I can't find it. I suspect that once we trim this down to whatever is in that source, that we won't have enough length left to justify a stand-alone article anyway.

@Oiyarbepsy See the reception section. There is a chapter discussing Mogo in the book Green Lantern and Philosophy. If this article were to be merged into a list, that information would go with it. But that would be done through a merge proposal, not a redirect (which is essentially a sneaky way to delete an article without gaining consensus). Rhino131 (talk) 04:58, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
