Sinestro time
>>222760537He looks like the unc who sells newspaper
>>222760558He is a disgraced Lantern It fits
>>222760537Newspaper seller
>>222760537I was 20 mins into this episode last night when I passed out. Did i actually miss anything
>>222760637YesThere are reveals at the end
>>222760576
I can't tell if Zoe being the Manhunter is so obvious because of bad writing or if it's actually a red herring
>>222760537STUOY THE PAST
Hal is clearly the star of the showAnd John is quite incompetent Don’t understand people saying it’s woke
>>222760537Any webm requests?
>>222760637John Stewart mary sues a bird construct to be intact after removing his ring even when unconscious and also while being mentally tortured somehow
>>222760838Its either her or the jeet gilf
>>222760637There's a manhunter in town, Sinestro's in prison, probably the entire town are aliens.That's about the only relevant things in the episode.
>>222760537Is he red enough?What do we think brahs??
>>222760956>And John is quite incompetentI think the bird he made was supposed to be really impressive.
>>222761236He lost to the aliens and has a bomb inside his head now
>>222760537>Calls him "Hal" instead of "Jordan" for no purposeYou can open up any comic book featuring Hal and Sinestro and get this dynamic. Can they try?
>>222760537>sherrif is from gotham>has an irish accentis she the manhunter? stavros mentioned there's only one leftjk it's the "wife" isn't it?
>>222761480It's gonna be the lawyer husband.
>>222760537I didn't realize is was the evil amish dude from Banshee. He gained weight.
>>222761272Does he, I wasn't paying attention, isn't it just a memory viewer
>>222761493jason ritter?
>>222761602yeah, that guy is shifty, all the other people seem like red herrings.
>>222761629Think the whole town but the sheriff are aliens
>>222761500oh yeah, he was also in that Thing masterpiece from 2011
>>222760537Based
>>222761437They where always kinda zesty bro
>>222760838I came here to talk about this. If this was a formula driven murder mystery, you have a character that is important enough to have speaking lines, but has been held distant from the actual plot going on. Like basically every episode of Elementary.
>>222761952You were molested as a child. Seek help.
I have never watched any other Green Lantern's movie or tv show so here are my impressions:1. Hal's actor is solid, but the character is a little weird. Too jaded and cynical, but I like the way he straightforwards through issues. It does give the vibes of somebody that operates at a different level of priorities, and human drama is not that interesting for him.2. The black dude is ok I guess, but suffers from "stoic serious black man" pose that is prevalent in modern media.3. Sheriff is solid and the I Know It All bit is intriguing or lazy, hope it get explained later. Yes she is the sheriff and yes she is married to the alien hunter cowboy, but that position can lead to being a puppet, not an X Files detective.4. Cowboys vs Aliens setup I don't like.5. The Mystery Box in the town/ranch is a bad bad sign for the series. It almost never pays off.6. CGI is sparse and ok for a TV show.
>>222762160Holy projection!
>>222762170Seems like they're using a lot of exposition to avoid some scenes that would have special effects. I can appreciate them doing that with Hal's backstory, by replacing it with a bar story. After all, the plot is about Nebraska and not about Hal's origin, and he's basically good at telling the story.. What seems odd is that they replaced whatever the manhunters are about with an unseen brain projection. Am I really supposed to assume it's terrible just because John drooled while laying on the floor?
>>222762194Lmao If you can only see friendship as sexual relationship, you have childhood trauma and trust issues
>>222762258They warned him that the USB pain transfer will affect him for a while, but I'm sure that would be the last time we hear about that "effect".
>>222761075>>222761236It's a bird, Michael, what could it cost
What's the deal with the bird?any comic book nerds
>>222762170>1. Hal's actor is solid, but the character is a little weird. Too jaded and cynical, but I like the way he straightforwards through issues. It does give the vibes of somebody that operates at a different level of priorities, and human drama is not that interesting for him.very obviously something happened between 2006 and 2016 that made him like that. His hologram isn't jaded.> Sheriff is solid and the I Know It All bit is intriguing or lazy, hope it get explained laterwe are so used to cops being behind in shows with outside help (like the mentalist) that this seems weird. i don't mind her actually having brains.
>>222762371In the comics, John is a regular lantern instead of some job applicant. Seems like they just want the audience to know he has the talent for the job.
>>222762405it's basic writing. the dude who was thrown into the water vs the dude who was trained for this in his whole life. John is more boring, but their opposing worldview/character makes their dynamic more interesting. it doesn't really work when john is alone tho.
>>222761075Yeah that was fucking weird, but I guess they're setting up Jon to be the goat of GLs>>222761272He didn't even have a ring though, he's just a regular sniper guy
>>222762430meant for >>222762170>2. The black dude is ok I guess, but suffers from "stoic serious black man" pose that is prevalent in modern media.
is this the same black guy that's in all those old justice league cartoons that used to play on cartoon network or whatever
>>222762533Yeah
>>222762533Yeah the boring one
>>222762435>I guess they're setting up Jon to be the goat of GLsRIP Kyle Rayner fans
>>222761480>sherrif is from gotham>has an irish accentThe actress revealed in the podcast that the writers told her that the West Gothamites had this accent.
>>222760537In the comics, Hal and Sinestro are lovers? I sensed sexual tension in Sinestro.
>>222762435>but I guess they're setting up Jon to be the goat of GLsbut we already have a goat
>>222762435>I guess they're setting up Jon to be the goat of GLsIn the comics, isn't it supposed to be Hal?
>>222762618>>222762685I'm not saying he is canonically (honestly don't know enough GL lore) or that he should be, I'm just saying that is what I think they're doing.>>222762710idk honestly.
>>222762680It was only you
>>222762710Yes. In the comics, Hal is a full blown Gary Stu. He forged his own ring. Conquered death. Slept with a barely legal alien girl without any consequences. And sometimes he can manifest the powers of GL by sheer willpower, without even wearing the ring.
>>222762710yeah but they made John OP at certain point too over the years. Think he even became a Guardian at some point
>>222762809that's problematic for a white man
>>222762170>Sheriff is solid and the I Know It All bit is intriguing or lazyEither she is the manhunter or knows her mother in law is and the whole family is trying to protect her from the other aliens trying to kill her
The less they focus on the mystery side of the plot the better. Just show me adventures.
>>222762981>trying to protect herProtecting by letting her roam around town, have sex with strangers, etc. Doesn't make sense.
>>222761659>why is this hospital completely empty and all of the equipment brand new?>looks normal to me!She's full of shit too.
>>222763382the hospital is for when the alien invasion happens, so they can treat the wounded. she clearly knows his father-in-law is crazy, the question is if she just goes along with it - because he funds hospitals and security and whatnot for the town - ,she is an active member of their militia, or she is the manhunter. altho my guess is that the manhunter is the secret benefactor and manipulates cowboyman about alien threats, hence the advanced tech. it would fit with the lore the kidnappers said.
>>222763106She thought the threat was neutralized in episode 1 and wanted to get info from the GL duo about hpw much they knew
Judging by images it looks like a mellow snorefest. Let me know when they wear suits, and have space adventures so I can see Kilowog fight red lanterns alongside Hal and that Sinestro is leading the Sinestro Corps war instead of sitting in some dark cell looking like Pedro Pascal
>>222763659it's literally a skinned true detective show, anon.
>>222762809He got a lot of shit because of Parallax. He's no Gary Stu.
>>222760537I think the twist will be that Miss Macon is Sinestro's daughter and thats why she's spying on John for Sinestro. It feels too obvious that she's the manhunter, so unless they just confirm it super early and make us know that its not that big of a deal, I think there is more to her storyI also wonder if Sinestro at this point in the timeline is a yellow lantern or if there's going to be more story progression to create the Yellow Lantern. Like he needs Hal to succumb to the fear he's trying to build up to be the power source for his new corps and that will start after the end of this season
>>222763996yeah but that was retconned to be an alien parasite
>>222764091Everyone still gave him shit for it. He was rejected and shunned by the GLC. Only John, Guy, and Kyle stood up for him.
>>222764066Wait I did just realize that Parallax IS the power source in the comics for the yellow lantern corps, so Sinestro isn't a yellow lantern as of now.So I'm definitely right, Miss Macon is spying on Hal and John and Sinestro is using that information against Hal to turn him into Parallax
so is martian manhunter is the same as this manhunter or same species but different individual? is the martian one an offshoot of their species? they destroyed mars civilization but left some children behind?
>>222764876No. Martian Manhunter is just his superhero name. He's a Martian from Mars. Manhunters are synthetic lifeforms created by the Guardians of Oa to police the universe.
>>222764925fucking hate comic books.
>>222764925so they have two different thing called manhunter that can shapeshift but they are not related?
Why is this the second episode where they awkwardly shoehorn in a line about white peopleWhy is Lindelof like this, The Leftovers had absolutely nothing like this.
we can't even be sure if hal is really dead. Like 10 minutes before that scene it was stated that there's many alien species who can perfectly duplicate humans
>>222764964>>222764937Do you retards also get frustrated when you meet 2 people with same name?
>>222764964>manhunterWhen the character of Martian Manhunter was created, the word manhunter meant detective. Essentially, he was a martian detective.
i hope they dont do the same twist as the Beware My power cartoon movie
>>222765062>oh yeah we have the green lanterns, yellow lanters, pink lanters, blue lanters, black lanters, red lanters but it's a coincidence. they have no relations to each other! >>222765065that makes sense, thanks.
>>222765099you are being intentionally dense
whole town are aliens disguised as humans you read it here first
>>222765136we are talking about comics, nigger. this ain't real life. when they name someone Manhunter, it's natural to think they might have a connection to one of their main guy named Martian Manhunter.
>>222764964Manhunters being shapeshifters is exclusive to this shitty tv show because they didn't want to spend money making aliens.
I'm fine with the aliens on earth who can imitate or shapeshift to look like humans but if they make Atrocitus a fucking human with red ring i'll be pissed. Either make him look the part with cgi or dont bring him into this shit at all.
>>222765161I also got those vibes from the police lady. She acts way too strange.
>>222765194i wanna see the cat
>>222765184>Manhunters being shapeshifters is exclusive to this shitty tv showLying comes so easy to you jeets doesnt it?
>>222765199and the empty hospital. They don't need it. No one ever gets sick
>>222765177I bet you had brain aneurysm when they revealed both Superman and Batman's mothers are named MARTHA
>>222765261you are being intentionally dense
So are those guys that kidnapped John from sector 666?
>>222765204If this was a Gunn project he'd be in it but idk they are going for muh realism a bit too much.
>>222765177Can you tell the difference between GREEN arrow and GREEN lantern? Or are you still expecting Kyle Chandler to pull out a bow and grow a goatee? Fucking moron
>>222765349you are being intentionally dense
>>222765304I hope not. Manhunters fucked up tons of planets. Sector 666 got especially hard because the last battle to end Manhunters also happened there i think.
>>222762258>I can appreciate them doing that with Hal's backstory, by replacing it with a bar story.This seemed very intentional to me. John called bullshit on Hal's version of the story, I suspect we'll see a flashback later on that's the true version of events>After all, the plot is about Nebraska and not about Hal's originIt actually is about Hal's origin, to a degree at least. Remember, he suspects whatever is going on is tied to the fact Abin Sur crash landed in Nebraska all those years ago.>>222762710I think it varies somewhat. IIRC John had some super strong "he can even make constructs without the ring!" power up at some point in the past, and Kyle had the whole "only Green Lantern in the entire corps" thing for a time, and also the "look he can wield the entire emotional spectrum and be the white lantern!" thing. I'm a secondary though, so someone correct me if I'm wrong.
>>222765319They really should have just given Gunn Green Lantern or Legion of Superheroes to go wild with instead of Superman.
>>222765319If this was a Gunn project he'd have Krypto rape the cat while Wiz Kalifa's See You Again plays in the background, followed by a reveal that someone cucked somebody
>>222765194God I havent read any Lanterns comics since Brightest Day, is my boy Larfleeze still around?
>>222765378>If this was a Gunn project he'd have Krypto rape the cat while Wiz Kalifa's See You Again plays in the background, followed by a reveal that someone cucked somebody
>>222765394No need to post a picture of yourself gunnjeet
>>222760537How far could he used to throw pigskin?
>>222765390Larfleeze is a constant they sometimes bring out to humble the hero of the story. He would make a kino villain for a deep space horror movie.
>>222765390Yes. Everyone from each corps is still around, and they all live in Oa now, and have disco chrome pjs (Im not joking)
>>222765428y u talking to urself
>>222765194>>222765204>>222765319If WB had anyone intelligent working for them they'd have their DCU revolve around the War of Light and culminate in Blackest Night. They would print money giving all of their superheroes a fucking power ring normies would basedface over.
>Black woman who co-wrote episode 2 also wrote episode 3 Oh lawd
Anybody else want fuck Hal after he put on the suit at the end? The suit actually looks pretty good In motion. I swear if he puts on his mask I'll bust.
>>222765452I hope James Gunn knows you're sticking up for him, bro. I hope he gives you a cameo in his next cuck fetish flick
>>222765509He look a bit fat for his suit which makes sense for the story.
>>222765526>I hope James Gunn knows you're sticking up for him, bro. I hope he gives you a cameo in his next cuck fetish flick
>>222765460You need to care about a lot of superheroes and also have them die for blackest night to really work, and still have more superheroes (that people care about) afterwards. And you'd need GL to be an audience favourite. It could work across multiple TV shows I think, but for a mostly cinematic/movie universe that is a very long, very expensive bet to hedge
>>222764937Then maybe dont post in a show based on one
>>222765529It's just a little bulky especially in the shoulder area with the weird armor design but when they show it in a full body shot like when he was walking in the prison it actually has a nice silhouette. His ass looks pretty good in it too, very comic accurate.
>>222765575Infinity War was a long, expensive bet to hedge also. For the first two phases the only MCU movies that made serious money were Iron Man and the two Avengers movies.
>>222765194You'll get one scene where it's him in that form and then he'll shapeshift into a human for the rest of the series.
>>222765319He is an executive producer in this though
>>222765644yeah but>infinity war made a lot of money after 8 years of build up.>we know now the formula! let's do it in 3 years! we can do 2 infinity wars in 8 years! double money!
>>222765684Gotta start somewhere. WB's problem for the past decade is that they haven't set up anything and just keep trying to force some epic event that no one cares about. Well, you've got a show now that's introducing a ton of DC lore that could end up giving you the event you always wanted to compete with the MCU. Not saying Blackest Night is going to come out anytime soon, but this stuff could come in handy in the future.
>>222765644>Infinity War was a long, expensive bet to hedge also.That's true, but also it needed less "direct" build-up, and character death is less essential. You'd need to somehow tie in the lantern mythos across all the different movies and shows, so that when blackest night hits people that didn't specifically watch Lanterns aren't utterly lost (infinity stones didn't really have that issue because you could throw them in any MCU movie as a "powerful artifact" and call it a day). And you'd need core characters to die preferably before blackest night starts, because you probably want their deaths to last longer than "back next movie" when the entire event is about death.It's not impossible, but I definitely think it's a harder undertaking with an audience less forgiving about mistakes.
>>222765088you have to be a little more specific. No one saw that besides you
>>222764937How I felt reading Lanterns comics desu. Just nonsense hyped up by nerds. But bro Kilowog and Sinestro are so cool, fuck off they're glupshitto's.
>>222765099Don't forget Alan Scott, who isn't a Lantern for some reason. Comics are dumb.
>>222765319If this was a Gunn show he would mock the entire concept of a talking cat with powers and Hal would creat constructs of giant dildos while fighting.
Adding all the rainbow colours kinda killed any uniqueness about being a green lantern.
>>222766516Being a Green Lantern was never unique. There's a million Green Lanterns in the Corp. And even being a human Green Lantern stopped being unique in the 80s.
>>222766516Always thought the concept of Green Lanterns was cool, but it was wasted on them constantly fighting against other color dudes in spandex with identical powers.
>>222765228the manhunters created by the guardians were robots that couldn't shape shift. you're thinking of martian manhunter
Why do they insist on the cuck cowboy thing tho, will this be in every episode?
https://youtu.be/5wS-c9eTi0w
>>222766958Yeah John have sex with a granny in every second episode
>>222767139Eh, well it's weird it happened once anyway
>>222767139When do we see Hal have sex?
what if we combine the capeshit audience with the yellowstone audience
>>222765358I got the sense the bald dude in charge was atrocitus>last survivor of sector 666
>Hal message from 2006>Set in 2016>Flashforward to 2026>666Hmmm
>>222766644One green Lantern for every sector is uniuqe dumb fuck. Adding the rainbow colours turns them into lame power rangers with the same gimmick.
>>222766958>Why do they insist on the cuck cowboy thing thoEvery cowboy movie has at least one cuck story line.
Why is Jon the women they push so much as the main green lantern, just because he's a nigger?
Show needs Star Sapphire
>>222768270One per sector makes senseThere shouldn’t be that many Lantern worthy emergencies
