Both Laura Lynney and the US military guy were likely the Manhunter in disguise. This feels like a plot to take out Hal Jordan. Why would the guardian want to know about Sinestro from John?
It's fishy and these are shapeshifting aliens.

I doubt it, lanterns informed hal about John so the whole lantern system would have to be working for manhunter and a big plot point is that he is hiding in that Midwest city. Also saw comments that suggest hal is going to be corrupted and I think thats also stupid

Did they?
Manhunters are spies and they used to be the Guardians' top guys so it's very possible they could fake an official transmission from them. It's not like the actual guardians give that much of a shit and don't give free rein to green lanterns. Plus, it's established that Earth is way below any big cosmic player's radar.
Also, guardians are tiny short dudes and when Laura Lynney transformed, she was tall.

How dare you not hire my husband for that dangerous job we didn't know existed and didn't know he wanted and still don't know how to do? It's so unfair of you to notice he was unqualified for the job's one basic requirement!

Gee, shucks, you must be right, lady. I've only just met you, and I've never met your husband, but based on this one meeting in which you claim unfairness, I believe you should brainwash your infant into having a lack of basic empathy and self preservation. Surely that will make him the perfect candidate to protect others.

That's right, you better recognize! We'll raise him to be fucking deraigned! Then all the neighbors will see that we're the best, and not just some weirdos that shoot holes in the side of our own garage in the middle of the night.

Now that this is settled, take this diamond. You Earthlings like shiny rocks, right?

You know we do!

Lindelof in a nutshell
>>
>>222900923
Have you considered that it's a setup by the bad guys? You have a Manhunter who can be ANYONE and wants to undermine the guardians.
>>
>>222900973
Black people don't even know who Lindeloff is
>>
Also where do they live? Randomly shooting a rifle in a neighborhood happens nowhere.
>>
They're lucky the episode is unpopular. The world doesn't need fan imitators trying to toughen their kids up by shooting them in the head.
>>
>>222901026
...So not one person of color knows who Damon Lindelof is.
Do you also believe they are too stupid to know how to obtain an id for voting?
>>
>>222901022
Yes and that's what I'm hoping for. But, modern writing is terrible and race baiting.
>>
>>222901022
But how would they have informed Hal that he was getting a sidekick? I can buy a Manhunter being able to dupe some yokel in the suburbs, but Hal has to check in at the office from time to time and meet real Guardians.
>>
Laura Linny is still hot and now she will be welcomed into my fantasy harem.
>>
>>222901172
The manhunters used to be the guardians' enforcers, surely they have access to the same communication methods they use and can fake a transmission. Doesn't this whole Green Lantern backup seem odd? Lanterns don't have backups, the new ones get picked when one dies. The "Guardian" seemed to want to foster animosity between John and Hal.
>>
>>222901172
Hal is salty about having a backup and most likely doesn't bring it up at all when talking to the guardians, which probably isn't a very common occurrence. When he went to space, he didn't ask the guardians about the manhunters, he went to Sinestro.
>>
are the writers that lazy that they need to write an entire flashback episode that's essentially just lazy exposition?
>>
Grace said Hal's character and backstory will also be heavily changed in future episodes, and she doesn't think fans will like it. What do you think she's talking about? Knowing Tom King, Hal will probably end up being a war criminal or something.
>>
>>222901105
>Do you also believe they are too stupid to know how to obtain an id for voting?
Kek
Isn't this show secretly about illegal aliens invading Earth? Yeah I think we need some IDs, especially if they want government paid for groceries.
>>
>>222901364
>What do you think she's talking about?
Hal and Sinestro were lovers
>>
>>222901105
No one knows who Damon Lindelof is. The next time you walk down the street walk up to someone and ask them if they know who he is. Black, white, a chinaman; it doesn't matter, because every single person you ask will say "no".
>>
>>222901558
>No one knows who Damon Lindelof is
Lost, Watchmen, Leftovers are all critically acclaimed shows
>>
>>222901594
People on the street aren't critics. They just watch the shows. People know movie directors, or the guy who created Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune but they don't keep track of tv shows past the actors in primary roles.

I'm serious, ask 100 people on the street if they know who Damon is and what shows he's made. You could even ask 100 people if they know the creator of Lost is. For the first question I will be flabbergasted if you get more than one "yes" and for the second question at least one of the answers will be Matthew Fox or John Locke.
>>
>>222899736
>Hal was the man without fear
well thats simply not true
>>
>>222901364
>Hal will probably end up being a war criminal or something.
You think they'll do the Parralax storyline?
>>
>>222899639
Guardian dude that visited him in art school had a ring. No way a Manhunter would have one.
>>
>>222901921
Why?
>>
>>222902070
Yes, but on a smaller scale. And Parallax will ultimately turn out to be a metaphor for Hal's PTSD.
>>
>>222902074
Hal was taken over by the avatar of fear and became Parallax >>222902070
>>
>>222901921
>>222902074
that was his nickname, just like Daredevil.
>>
>>222901035
This just shows your privilege. Guns going off is regular occurrence in the hood where all black people live.
>>
>>222902071
I thought of that. Maybe it's fake; it was only used bruefly and for a very minor thing. Rings are tech so maybe knockoffs can be produced. I mean, in comics they made rings out of a bunch of colors.
>>
>>222899736
>What is "The Batman" if you're not afraid of him?
A billionaire, genius detective, ninja. Not exactly "Just a man."
>>
>>222901035
I think it's LA but they clearly live in a nicer/probably army adjacent area. You can't just pop shots anywhere.
>>222902316
Both of his parents work and his dad is decently high army. They don't live in the hood. They probably have white neighbors.
>>
>>222902341
Proudly displaying your ignorance once again. Blacks all live in ghettos. They can't afford to live anywhere else because they're poor. This is basic shit. Educate yourself.

>>222902383
My wife is black and we live a million dollar home with other whites and blacks in Delaware. You sound stupid and Midwestern.

Overcome fear is not without fear.
You cant overcome fear if you are without fear.

>>222899299
This show is so fucking bad its got to be done on purpose
>>
>>222902411
I disagree. The best man is THE best man. By virtue of being better than all others he achieves significance. The word "Just" implies mundanity.
>>
>>222902383
>>222902341
they most likely live close to where the father works, some garrisons have houses for the officials.
>>
>>222902070
I hope not, because Zero Hour is a huge, universe-spanning event like Crisis. You just can't do it at this stage when there's only a handful of heroes from your shows/movies.
It'd be as if Marvel introduced the X-Men to the MCU doing Age of Apocalypse. No one is well-established enough to have alternate versions have an impact.
>>
>>222902447
You can disagree, but the best man has the same limitations as the worst. Pit them both against a tiger, or a gorilla, and they both die. That's what John means in that panel.
>>
>>222902286
>just like Daredevil.
Hal predates Daredevil
>>
>>222902503
I would think the best man has way fewer limitations than the worst by nature of them being the best. Otherwise, by what metric are you determining "Best?"
>>
>>222902447
The best man bleeds and dies the same as any other.
>>
>>222902451
That's what I'm saying. So it's strange that he's constantly unloading a .22 in the backyard all day and the 9mm. They must have the cops called on them constantly.

cope, fearcel.
>>
>>222899299
There's a specific reason they showed the Guardian shape shifting from human form into Guardian form in front of John's mom. She's the Manhunter this whole time, and this has been a 20 year plot by Sinestro to sew fear of being replaced into Hal Jordan.

Hal Jordan was always meant to be Green Lantern. Sinestro employed the Manhunter to convince John of his 'destiny' and cause division between he and Hal to cripple Hal with fear.
>>
>>222902615
You're too dumb to understand that sentence

>>222899299
I knew nothing about the green lantern before the show and basically nothing about it/them (?) after over 2 hours of screen time

I don’t understand why they are acting like John’s parents weren’t doing well. The dad alone (could have been e7/e8) was pulling down what is now 78k in base pay plus entitlements.

She's a Manhunter right? She's a shapeshifter and so are Manhunters (in this show) and they know everything about the Guardians obviously so that they can manipulate John (who didn't even know what a Manhunter was until after he met the 'Guardian')

Nah. Hal has always been a thorn in the Guardians' side because he's a rogue that has a problem with authority. The Guardians trying to undercut him by manipulating a human family into turning their son into a compliant subject isn't that out of character. It's still stupid and a disservice to John as he's a great character in his own right.

Still having not seen the show and only being exposed to it through /tv/ threads, it really sounds like it might be about shapesifting evil guys, or bureaucratic government types, sowing dissent and chaos by stoking underlying racial tensions to get people who have similar goals and desires to fight each other instead of the people responsible for their situations.

The way I saw it is the parents are successful but still scarred from racism and generational trauma.

The parents still left with trauma then twist their kid to try and be what those in power want him to be.

Doesn't really seem like a total course reversal if the first half of the season has been setting up backgrounds for the buddy cop duo showing the external forces that have pushed them into conflict with each other. If they do the regular buddy cop thing of having them bond and work together for a united goal, toppling or exposing the forces that pushed them into conflict, it'd be exactly as I described.

If I had to call a shot for a show I haven't seen, it'd be that the older white guy, having accomplished his version of rebel justice with the power given to him by the system, moves out of the way to give the young black guy his position after recognizing his worth and valor. You know, Men in Black. But I imagine it'll be considered woke because of all the racial things mentioned. I saw people upset about Hal dying in episode 1 after a time skip cliffhanger, but based on what I read, his death will either be a ruse caused or facilitated by shapeshifters or a willing sacrifice after everything the two go through.
>>
I think that Lanterns isn't real. It's a dream. A mental trial that John has to undergo while the ring is hovering right above him in the real world in the seconds as it decides whether John is fearless or not. That's why there's a Guardian giving John a therapy session. That's why there's no ring on John's finger after Hal's death. That's why it jumps between time periods. And that's why John has such a fucked up backstory: none of it is real.

Could be a plot twist where the diner guy is the manhunter and is manipulating John.

This is cringe but 100% accurrate to the black worldview this is also the 80s-90s. Blacks still defend Rodney King the wife beater, pedo, repeat offender.

> Hal Jordan doesn't know fear because he's white
Why treat this analysis like it’s infallible when it’s just one (psycho) woman’s opinion. Hal says he’s fearless because he watched his dad die and nothing could compare to that fear again. Why is Stewart’s mom take more valid?

I also don't understand how John would have powers if this was secretly a plot to kill Hal this whole time by the Manhunters. How would they be able to grant him Green Lantern powers (he can manifest the bird and it stays even without the ring)? Unless the initial visit to his Mom was a real Guardian and then the Manhunters have been manipulating him ever since.
>Hal's also going to corrupted
Emerald Twilight is one of the more widely known comic runs where Hal becomes Parallax. But it would only work as an adaptation if we had more time with Hal as a hero so I hope they don't jump the gun this early just to make John look better.

Fucking early parole for a violent crime, LA deserves everything it gets. Yea he was also high as fuck in that video and led the cops on a multi hour long chase and resisted arrest. Whatever. Niggers gonna nig.

The green lantern powers are tech-based, so they can just give them to John the same way. It's not magic.
>>
>>222904798
It's not but it's jarringly stupid and clearly race baiting. When did Hal mention his dad? Episode one or two?
>>
>>222901022
Modern writing, especially Lindelof, would never do use the insecurity and egotism of black culture as a point of manipulation because it would identify a weakness in black culture and self-perception that can't be solely blamed on white people.

nta
in the first episode during the flashback of jhon watching the hal interview on tv
he mentions that he answered "no" to the are you afraid question cause as a child that had seen his parents died he didnt have anything else to fear
THAT SAID I THINK HE WAS LYING AND MAKING UP A STORY FOR THE TV INTERVIEW
>>
>>222904033
Chandler is giving a great performance, your milage may vary on whether you think it’s true to the character. Grant Morrison, for example, thinks the acting is good but believes it doesn’t feel like Hal. Personally, besides the accent, this does feel like Hal (but grizzled). Lots of characters dunk on Hal, but you quickly realize Hal is the most competent character on the show and the people shitting in Hal have a vendetta, either from their trauma (John), occupation (sheriff), or other schemes (the rest of the town). He’s shown to be loved by the general public as well. The episode 1 ending might upset you if you haven’t had that spoiled yet. The show is going with a post-crisis interpretation where Hal is a loner/drifter/cowboy. In some ways he’s a loser, but in no way is a loser at his job or superheroing.
>>
>>222904901
Oh I kinda remember that now. That part got overshadowed by the dad popping shots at an apple on his own son's head.
>>
>>222904798
I doont want this trash in a green lantern series, the woman who wrote the episode is an insane person and thinks the parents love their kids deep down. If you can stomach it go watch her interview for the episode. Black Americas are schizo weirdos.

>>222901172
Hal may have beef with the Guardians and fail to visit them as a result, if the manhunter disguised as a Guardian came to him and said "hey you're getting a sidekick and will be training your replacement." He might take it as gospel if he were bitter and jaded enough by that point, the question is is when did he become so jaded and did he have a falling out with the Guardians before meeting John? Sinestro might also tell him the actual truth about the manhunters rather than the Guardians who might want to conceal their past mistakes.
>>
>>222902819
I always understood. I find the phrasing poor, and that does your argument a disservice to the point where its disagreeable. Also let's not ignore the irony of a guy who's only special trait is a fancy ring that three people had before him trying to appraise the worth of someone who is objectively their superior in every measurable metric.

The Damon Lindelof dick-riders on this board weird me the fuck out. The man hasn't written anything remotely good since Lost. I have no idea how he still has fans defending him.
>>
>>222904923
>Grant Morrison, for example, thinks the acting is good but believes it doesn’t feel like Hal.
Which is strange, because the idea of Hal being a loner and a drifter comes directly from his run.

This. It's always white man bad.

>>222904901
I don't think Hal was lying but maybe he misinterpreted the test at that time or he was just being a bit of a ham. The test really isn't if you're fearless. The ring is seeing if your will is strong enough to overcome your fear in a terrifying moment. John's father obviously wasn't made of the right stuff because even outside of his initial failure he displayed zero ability to reign in his insane wife after displaying misgivings to what they were doing.

Kek the depiction of Nebraska in this is so inaccurate, these jew boy writers must just live in fear of the midwest

>>222904897
Let me rephrase it so you understand it, dingus: you can type something, but I just don't care about it. I laugh at you and your tears.
>>
>>222904364
Dad being unbalanced after failing the test doesn't seem too bad, he's clearly not well-adjusted. He could have gotten fucked up in his military career, or been secretly an abysmal or cowardly solider who was now being reminded of that by the ring and his failure to pass its test. It would make for a more interesting character, a lot of people have insecure hangups about one time something went wrong in their life.

John doesn't have a ring because Guy Gardner has it, this was confirmed in an interview, John seems to get his back-up position invalidated for Guy, but as to why we don't know yet.

comparing a political pundit to a fiction writer? you disingenuous cocksucker
>>
>>222904858
But if the Manhunters could give green lantern powers to John why don't they just hand them out like candy to whatever psycho they want to kill Hal? They could just create multiple lanterns to attack and jump Hal all at once if that's what they want. Unless this is all one extremely long game convoluted scheme by Sinestro to make Hal afraid so he can become a Yellow Lantern/Parallax.
>>
>>222904986
Grant had an issue with the drinking on the job too, which I sorta get. Besides that (and maybe the swearing?), I don’t understand the issue
>>
>>222905100
It's so fucking jarring. I really hope Hal learns about John's past and tells him how fucked up and stupid it all is.

I didn't say insecurity and egotism weren't a part of white culture either. It can exist with really any individual. The insecurity part of white culture only started becoming a thing with the introduction of the recent (10-20 years) of identity politics, where being a victim meant you had social capital (right or left it doesn't matter any more). But its been especially prevalent in black culture since at least the 60s. They as a community can never do anything wrong, every crime is a fault of the system and not their own, they are the authors of everything good, etc. The naked and should be obvious reality is that neither perspective is true, each culture has done its own share of harm and good both to itself and to other cultures, but particularly it is taboo to hold black culture accountable for its own flaws, while there's multiple academic, media, and other institutions demanding white accountability all the time.
