So, can we all finally admit that this run has aged terribly, is obnoxiously preachy, and totally butchers Hal's character whilst making Ollie an insufferable prick?
>>155412968I read a few issues and got bored. The art is nice.
>>155412968That is the popular opinion on /co/ but I disagree.
>>155412968Calm the fuck down Dixon.
>>155412968Nah you’re just a triggered fuckhole
>>155412968>"Aged poorly"This shit sucked even back then. The next writer on Green Lantern was a black guy and the first thing he did was shit on how stupid it was.
>>155413325Yet nobody remembers that run but O’neill/Adams is still revered as a classic and many ways definitive
>>155413360Everyone remembers it for being cringe though. Anyone, pro or fan, who ever talked this up in the past did it solely to virtue signal
>>155413360>revered as a classicBy who? Aside from a (now ancient) History channel special, I've never heard anyone talk about this except to laugh at it.
>>155413392By readers and critics.
>>155413360Because it wasn't good.
>>155413403Sure
>>155413392DC treats it as a beloved classic. It's like Identity Crisis in that the suits are trying to claim it was a beloved and significant run/story.With that said, HTH has been recommended to me in GL rec threads from years ago so there definitely were some fans back in the day. Unlike Identity Crisis.
>>155413403By Wizard.
By golly there's only one way to settle this debate. We're all going to have to read it.
>>155412968I can agree with everyone else that you aged more poorly than that comic, OP
>>155413444I read it years ago and it was totally forgettable. If it weren’t for the scene of the black dude woke scolding Hal and the Speedy cover no one would remember or give a shit about this series.
>>155412968>agedBut yeah, the rest everyone who ever read that always knew.
>>155412968Can we all finally admit that the right is a bunch of whining little babies who cry every time their world view is challenged?
>>155413481I read it recently. That is literally the only moment that stands out. Nobody fucking talks about Hal and Ollie on the indian reserve
>>155413406Because it’s an important and iconic series
>>155413494Are you one of those idiots who can't comprehend not liking a piece of media even if you might agree with it's politics?
>>155413517GL/GA, not that GL run.
>>155413420I've never seen anyone, even DC suits, pretend Identity Crisis was a classic. I literally never hear about it outside of people shitting on it. Even One More Day at least has people who pretend to like it for the sake of keeping up appearances.
>>155413481Among other iconic moments it featured Speedy being a junkie and John Stewart’s debut
>>155413557The reason Identity Crisis gets reprinted is because it keeps selling. Same way as Hush does. Nobody ever lists them as greatest/most iconic superhero runs ever made where as Hard Travelling Heroes does get that treatment
>>155413570>it featured Speedy being a junkieWhat do you think "the speedy cover" was reffering to?>John Stewart’s debutLets be honest, the only reason people give a shit about Stewart is because millennials and gen z grew up watching JLU. If it weren't for that show he'd be a footnote in Green Lanterns history.
