Oh Peter and your gore... I dig it, though. Pretty nasty.
About the GL shields, we can't point the finger at Peter for their inconsistency/uselessness, but that is an issue that bothers me.
Let's look at the bigger picture of things, how GL powers worked...
Era I: Beginning of the GL Corps to Emerald Twilight -- GL rings held a full 24 hour charge to the dot, a GL's automatic body shield rendered them pretty much invincible to all but Yellow Light.
Era II: Post-Emerald Twilight to Rebirth --Kyle's Ring (which operated independently of the Central Power Battery, which had been destroyed, his battery was a modified piece of Oa itself): Upon recharges, GL ring would hold a charge for a finite amount of energy utilized in a "gas tank" sense (the precise amount is never really quantified), no weakness to Yellow Light, and no automatic GL body energy field -- manual ONLY (and even then, it was never the near-invincible shield of Era I).
Era III: Post-Rebirth -- (After all GL rings become re-power source networked back to a rebuilt, repowered Central Power Battery) Even though all rings are connected to the Central Power Battery the "gas tank" sense they operated on during Era II is retained; no Yellow Light weakness AS LONG as the GL in question is consciously aware of the source of the Yellow Impurity: Parallax (or if Geoff decides there is one anyway at times, as has been the case); aaand a little fuzzy on the GL automatic body shields. They appear to still be there when they need to be mostly, but are either extremely de-powered from Era I or exist only as the most basic body shield.

I dunno. If i was faced with an enemy that i could not see and moves superfast, the first thing i would do is max out my shield. My solution: reduce the number of GLs. Have them be better trained. And while i'm at it, whats guiding those rings?
So for anyone who doesn't know "Triumph of the Will" is the name of a Nazi propaganda video. I was thinking about the title and thought that maybe it could be referring to the Guardians and their rise to power. We know that the villains in this story have a huge grudge against the Guardians, so maybe they suffered under the Guardian regime and view them in the same way people view the Nazis.
