Snyderbros...I don't feel so good...
>>155033851Lantern is woke, so obviously mindless zombies will slop it up.
>>155033851Paid shills you and them
/co/ told me this was supposed to suck, but even Chris Gore liked it.
>>155033851Mother of god… from among 35 whole people, 89 percent liked it.35! That’s almost half as many people fit on a school bus! Almost half! The age of DC is now!
>>155033851>didn't break 90GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEG
>>155033851Even Peacemaker season 2 got a 94% despite being complete garbage.
>>155033851HBO Watchmen was loved by critics and even won awards. It was still shit and a flop
>>155034507Watchmen was as good as it was woke.
>>155033851All I want to know is how they treat Hal in this.
I browsed the reviews.Old white man who's best days are far behind him refuses to give up his power to a young black man thats perfect for the job, and been training his whole life to be.Also dies in the first episode, and the rest of the series is flashbacks and flash forwards, mainly showing how much a prick Hal is to John.
>>155034641See>>155034651
>>155034651Why are you mentioning race?>hal diesDoes he? How do we know it's not a shapeshifter?
Chad gunn moggs snyderchud
>>155034684>raceBecause that's the only reason why Damon Lindelof wanted to do the series, you absolute retard troon.
>>155034585
>>155034757Source?
>>155034670I expected this, but now I actually feel... sad? Why would they do this? I honestly don't understand.
>>155035034By now, how do you not understand this is what they do.
>Jaded old man dies and gets replaced by a younger, more diverse leadShould I be impressed in their tenacity to force this narrative despite it killing billion dollar franchises, or be sickened by their propaganda?
>>155034507It's funny how that show is supposed to be a sequel to the comics, but it doesn't really even fit within that framing.
>>155035034Also most of the fantastical elements are removed, and are done in a grounded (boring) way.True Detective is brought up a lot in the reviews. Very serious and dry show.
>>155035072Neither, you should've stopped caring by now.When they brought back Dr Manhattan for a TV show just to talk about racism le bad I knew it was over.
>>155034651It's crazy how obvious this was yet every thread there would be some shill denying it
>>155035170>Stop recognizing patterns, chud. Just because the writer is one of the biggest hacks in Hollywood who covers his shit writing in race bait doesn't mean his NEWEST show will do just that!
>>155035170They were even banning people that posted or joked about the spoilers online.
>>155035292What's worse, paid jeets or troons doing it for free?
>>155035339Definitely troons. Jeets are just doing their job. Troons do it for free
In the best possible way, Lanterns also recalls the thematic heft of HBO’s Watchmen, which Lindelof developed. Both series use superhero mythology to examine the Black experience in America, especially the inherited trauma and the institutions that decide who gets to wield power. Lanterns doesn’t interrogate those subjects as deeply as Watchmen, but its ideas about fear and heroism remain inseparable from John Stewart’s identity as a Black man.
as far as never flinching from how Blackness presents itself in hostile white spaces for survival’s sake. The stellar third episode, in fact, shows how that child who grew up in awe of Hal is forged by his parents to become worthy of following in his footsteps by exposing John to every prevalent Black anxiety at a young age, and building an immunity to them by any means necessary.
, is all too aware of what it means to be a Black man in law enforcement, and all too wary of the attentions of rich white men professing allyship.
1. Based on Green Lantern’s appearances on Challenge of the Superfriends, I wanted more. I wanted to read about Hal Jordan’s adventures in the comics. I asked my dad to buy me a Green Lantern comic, so we drove to the Eldon, Missouri drug store and he bought me one. This was the cover:
>>1550355262. I actually still own that very comic. When Aaron Pierre asked me about my relationship with Green Lantern over Zoom, I had this copy ready to go right next to me just in case I was asked something along these lines. There‘s John Stewart on the cover, calling Hal Jordan a “has-been.” Kyle Chandler’s eyes lit up, “That just about sums up the show!”I’ve seen seven of the first eight episodes and Kyle Chandler is 100 percent correct...
Race is simply weaved into John’s reality alongside his talent for hand-drawing and passion for birds — particularly in how it feels to practice extreme self-discipline while forced to play second fiddle to an arrogant, less qualified white guy.
John is a young Black man. Hal is an old white guy. John does everything right, and Hal thinks he does everything right. John has been working his whole life to be deemed a worthy member of the Green Lantern corps, and Hal was literally handed the ring after answering a single yes-or-no question correctly.
>Wow what fantastic reviews! Can't wait to watch! (while sucking a black dildo)signed, a literal troon goblin
Denny O’Neil and Neal Adams are looking up at us and saying this is what they always wanted for Green Lantern.
>>155035718Lol
>>155035404>>155035444>>155035488>>155035564>>155035587The average reviewer is as obsessed with race as the average /pol/ user. Hell, just look at this thread. The fact that there's just a black person and a White person means it's about race to these schizos.
>>155036156C'mon, anon. The show was written by Damon Lindelof and Tom King. You can't blame the critics for viewing and judging the show through that lens.
Wouldn't the Guardians just be racist towards humans in general?
>>155033851>we couldn't tortanic The Odyssey, so its time to complain about the next thing we've been told is wokeI wish /pol/ would just go away
>>155036234Nigga we were going to shit on it for shitting on Hal
>>155033851>a show about race politics which capefags won't watch disguised as a cape show that normalfags won't be interested inI get why people make shows like these, but who the hell lets them? Isn't there someone somewhere in the pipeline who wants for their product to make money?>>155036234Fuck off, you retarded piece of shit. Just because they started to feed us their retarded politics little by little in media instead of heaping it on and getting rejected, doesn't mean their bullshit deserves any less hate.
>>155035399There's also a certain standard expected when you're getting paid to do something, whereas someone that does it for free just because they're that butthurt about it are far more likely to botch it. And damn do you have to botch it bad to be worse than an Indian worker.
>>155036287>I get why people make shows like these, but who the hell lets them? Isn't there someone somewhere in the pipeline who wants for their product to make money?You have to shut off cheap borrowing if you want to kill Hollywood. Raise interest rates to 5%, you'll see these projects die.
>>155035404>>155035444>>155035488So it's actual trash. Holy shit, Gunn needs to kill himself.
Goddamn it...
>>155036339>Superman underperformed>Supergirl flopped>Clayface isn't looking so hot>this show is shitIt's going to be funny if Gunn's universe lasts less time than Snyder's did.
>>155036373>gunn really is here to stayFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK
Any TV show that has black leads, no matter what the show is about, will feature race,and the black leads somehow held down by whites.Sci-fi, horror, drama, capeshit, sitcom, etc.All I wanted was a captain falcon and winter soldier buddy cop adventure, but I got "my sister can't buy a boat because banks are racist."All I wanted was a hal and john buddy cop adventure, where hal passes on the mantle, but I get hal's an inept, old white asshole, and john has to deal with a small town led by an evil white racist.It's so tiresome.
>>155036376>>Supergirl floppedThanks to its shit director who was using AI
>>155036406I'm honestly surprised they're going full fucking Jake Skywalker with Hal on this. You'd think in the past 10 years they'd at least have learned to show basic respect to the prior hero, before killing them and replacing them with their designated PoC. I guess Lindelof is just that fucking evil.
>>155036462Lindelof is one of the most vile men in Hollywood and has been since he ruined the ending of Lost. A leopard doesn't change its spots. If you watch his stuff you already know what you're getting.
>>155034585Lindeloff's Watchmen was awful
>>155036488Then it must have not been woke.
>>155036562It was woke as fuck
>>155035404>In the best possible way, Lanterns also recalls the thematic heft of HBO’s Watchmen, which Lindelof developed. >Both series use superhero mythology to examine the Black experience in America, especially the inherited trauma and the institutions that decide who gets to wield power. Oh God why?
>>155036645Then it must have been good as fuck. Anon said it was as good as it was woke.
>>155036734You are as retarded as that anon mate
>>155035404Jews really want blacks to think of them as cool
>>155036373>>155036390>Hollywood reporter>fienberg>implying this is impactful???>that pic>Black Gay and HobomanLOL, WTF is that casting?
>>155036792Woke is not a determination of quality.
>>155033851That doesn’t count
>>155037276It is tho
Why does Hal look so JUSTED?
>>155037323so the black man can look good
>>155037267>Black Gaycontain your homolust anon
>>155037276It's a great determiner as wokeness is inversely proportional to quality.
>>155037276What's the highest quality woke fiction in your opinion then?
Bumpz
>>155037291>>155037685>>155037772Schindler's List is objectively a good film that is incredibly woke.
>>155033851Honestly Lanterns is a series that would be right in the alley of snyderfags: it's serious, dry and monochrome. Also, it doesn't use unnecessary quips to relieve the tension of the story. The only thing that is missing is the religious allegory, but other than that, it's a series that I don't think they would hate.
>>155038727I know this is bait but what's woke about it?
>>155038727It used to be non-controversial to dislike the Nazis in America. It used to be bipartisan. Ironically, Woke is responsible for this no longer being the case, since people who were Woke started to use "Nazi" as a synonym for "anyone more socially conservative than me."
>>155036373What? I tought it was going to be a True Detective rip off but with green lanterns?
>>155039464Woke mentality has truly been a cancer for America.
>wokeis this how you try to make an insult of not being racist?
>>155039562If by "not being racist," you mean "DIE old white man, DIE. Get replaced by your BETTER Black man!" Which this is.
>lindlof and Tom King butcher your favorite dc character No thanks
>>155033851This is why we wait until user reviews.
>>155033851>SnyderbrosThey still think there's a chance Snyder comes Back? fucking lmaoooooooooooo
