>Episode 7 is the Hal flashback origin episode>Reviewers have already said that they changed his originWhat are we thinking, besides Hal’s dad being abusive, which they actually telegraphed last episode?
Off topic, but anyone else find it distracting how the suit is a different shade of green in every shot it appears in? I'm assuming they made it greener in post but in some shots it's a dark forest green and in others its damn near lime.
>>155401814>Hal's dad is abusiveSo they're changing it back, thenI assume they're brining back the drunk driving that killed his best friend too
>>155401814>What are we thinkingAll of the superhero shows are made to shit on superheros and their fans on purpose because the creators they hire to write superhero shows hate superheros
No Abin Sur for one.
>>155401879That's because they color corrected it in post
>>155401814Hal shot down Abin Sur's ship with a fighter jet. He would have crashed and died too if not for the final act of Abin Sur's heroism. Hal apologizes once they're both on the ground, and Sur succumbs to his injuries thus passing on the ring to Hal
>>155402659They've referenced him multiple times already.
>>155401814>What are we thinkingI'm thinking fuck off shill
>>155401814Every 5 minutes he disparages a black man in some way. Starts out with treating a waiter like shit at a restaurant. Then it escalates to talking shit to black cops and claiming he arrests whole ships full of drug dealers every afternoon. Then he gets some guy at a Starbucks fired. Not a barista, some customer that happened to be there at the time wearing a suit and Hal can't stand to see a black man wearing a suit that's not on trial.
>>155401814I'm assuming this version of Hal is >Not Jewish>Does not have a much more successful younger brother>Has no on again, off again relationship with Carol>>155401924Considering this show is very heavily based on Gerald Jones GL run. Hal will probably copy the Emerald Dawn origin some and Hal will have been in jail for DUI/homicide when he received the ring. Making him even less worthy of a candidate. Which might be why he waited a decade to reveal his identity.
>>155405133>>Has no on again, off again relationship with CarolHe might have.Hal had a line of dialogue about how this job is a lonely one, and you have to cut off ties with everyone for their sake. Kind of implying he probably had a thing with Carol for a while, and then shit got too real or whatever, and he just isolated himself from everyone and became a broody, depressed, jaded space cop.
>>155402800But why do this? What's the point?
>>155407214Tom King's involved, and his stories always involve a "shocking twist" where a lauded hero turns out to be a fraud hiding a dark past that's directly tied to their origins.>But why not just adapt Emerald Dawn?Probably because Gerard Jones was involved in the plot, and even if he weren't, he wants that sweet royalty money either way.
>>155405068Blacks don’t go to trials in suits anymore they go in Durags and Flip Flops
Hal misheard the ring’s question as “are you a Fred?” and naturally said no, as his name is Hal. He has been faking till he makes it ever since.
>>155405133>I'm assuming this version of Hal is>>Not JewishBased. It unironically doesn't fit Hal's character to be jewish.
>>155405068You didn't tell me this show was based
>>155409001Not a durag you fucking retard, it's a bonnet. If you want to be racist, at least be an educated one>>155411097>Based. It unironically doesn't fit Hal's character to be jewish.This but unironically. Hal is too based to be a kike
>>155405068So would Hal basically be this guy?
>>155408912I thought King's thing was that all heroes are deep down, shitty cowards that hate themselves and are nothing but self doubts but hide it by lying about how cool and amazing they are to the public.
