New episode in 4 hours. >Lanterns follows new recruit John Stewart and Lantern legend Hal Jordan, two intergalactic cops drawn into a dark, Earth-based mystery as they investigate a murder in the American heartland.
>>222888847And the victims will be poor defenseless Somalis and the murderers will be sneering cowboy hat wearing white supremacists, amirite?
>>222888874Hopefully. Racists weren't BTFO enough tbqh
>>222888890Go back.
>>222888847Sinestro is a fat cunt
>>222888964Sinestro is based. Fuck the Guardians.
>>222888847Show is pretty funny to watch as a Nebraskan. Apparently extremely small towns is filled with southern cowboys and the local diner plays War on Drugs songs.
this show is so gay
>>222889066Watching Ozark as a Missourian was downright hilarious.
>>222889113>as a Missourian Jesus Christ, what are you doing here? Don't you have amphetamine to cook or something, nigga?
>earth based mystery This is not green lantern lol
>>222889162Cops have to take cats out of trees, too, anon.
>>222889175Outer space sets are expensive
>>222888847I’m surprised they didn’t kill off the white guy right away
>>222889133
This one is the big one, goys.Black man's perfect recruit dad was passed over for his ring, by le white loser Hal Jordan, who didn't actually deserve it, just got lucky as all white men do when competing with blacks.Can't wait to see the response here.Come back in 4 hours.
>>222889182That, too. The CGI budget is measurable in dragons. They only got 1 Dreamfyre. That's it.
>>222889162Earth is within Hal and John’s assigned space sector. This is exactly what the green lanterns do, but sometimes they do it on other planets is all
>>222889185They did a flash forward to some time later this season and Hal’s dead from a headshot and is frozen.
>>222889404Falling for an obvious fake out this hard
>>222888847I know next to nothing about the green lantern lore, but why is everyone a dickhead to a guy with super powers that wants to help out and protect them?
>>222889204My problem is that Hal is being petty and cowardly about John Stewart being trained. I gave the first episode the benefit of the doubt and thought it was a 'method to the madness' thing, but after episode 2 it's clear that Hal is jealous and just doesn't want john to get any better. That and John being anime-special, is far FAR too much.What a shit way to end Hal's career as a superhero just to push John and stroke the victim complex of the black audience.
>>222889454Because he's a bit of an asshole. Being friendly and nice can take you far and that's not something who will ever appear in Hal's epithet.
>>222889467Someone said here in the first episode threads that maybe Hal is putting off Stewart on purpose to stall something bad to happen to him. Could very well be the case. Notice how Hal keeps repeating that his gut is never wrong. Something about this "substitute training" rang a few bells on his head and he's moving a bit carefully letting things unfold in their own way.
>>222889436If it is a fake out, the people involved with the show straight up lied about it and said it wasn't. Also, we know Kyle Chandler ain't coming back unless they are willing to negotiate a new contract at a heavy disadvantage.
>>222889404They can’t help themselves. They know audiences won’t watch with a black lead so they have to bait and switch.
>>222889467You’re really wondering why a canonically conservative chud would be upset about a black guy replacing him
>guardians grooming children Bravo lindlof and king just fucking bravo
>>222888847No Simon BazNo watch
>>222889557Pretty sure Chandler has a deal to returnEven if it’s just as Hal ogran
stream?
>>222889603The same actor was in a black ripoff of Reacher and it was awful.
>>222889543That is a fine idea, but I don't believe that is what's happening. Nothing I've seen implies that Hal is doing anything for John benefit. Also, wouldn't Hal have had a different reaction to that bird if John's welfare was a major motivation for him?
>>222889557Idk I still think it’s going to emerald twilight. There’s not many other Green Lantern arcs where Hal dies. It’s either this or the black lanterns arc. It would make sense why the show is called lanterns, if they will have multiple lanterns corps besides just the green one
>>222889647All I have heard of this is that he has a one year contract, no movies or season 2. Kyle Chandler himself said that if they wanted, Hal come back as a hologram and that is just an actor talking.
>>222889730>black lanterns arcAyo we lanterns now cuh
>>222889647The entire show is using a charismatic white actor, who we are shown is eventually killed off, as bait to keep the audience watching a black actor whose character is being trained how to walk just like the actor is being trained by the white guy he is there to replace. It's like when Google had white employees train the jeets who were hired to replace them except the jeets were ungrateful and one of them murdered a female employee after rejecting his dinner date offers.
>>222889765A peak into the mind of a chud. What the fuck is that comparison. And I thought I was deranged
>>222889730>There’s not many other Green Lantern arcs where Hal dies.But do you really believe they would put so much effort into Hal as a character considering the situation with the DCCU and the green lantern brand itself?Hal's actor is not secured, They have been very clear that John is the main green lantern and Guy Gardner's actor is apparently buddies with Gunn himself.
>>222889867>They have been very clear that John is the main green lantern Why would they kill off their show like this?
a ring is a gay power
>>222889921They want John as the big league black character of the DCCU. If you look on places like tik tok, you see some black viewers have already taken the bait. They already want Hal gone.
>>222888847i don’t watch shows with a black on the poster
>>222889921Cause the DCAU was based and probably the best adaptation of DC ever
Should I watch this or no? I like the actor playing Hal, he's kino
>>222889839Loser reddit cuck
>>222890089Yeah it’s pretty cozy. It’s basically True Detective set in the DCU
>>222890096Insecure bbc obsessed faggot
>>222890108I don’t recall a whiny black guy in True Detective
>>222890428The only one whining is you
>>222888847This shit is an abomination the geriatric faggot pretending to be Hal Jordan looks stupid he's fat and sounds like a faggot on top of that, this shit for subhumans rapes every bit of Green Lantern lore I hope the kike who wrote this shit never gets hired again.
>>222890465Go back
>>222889066>extremely small towns is filled withLeave my country immediately.
>>222888847
It is a show for woketard redditurds
>>222888874Did we really need a liberal cowboy militia in our show about space cops?
>>222888847>AAA>NXT>LanternsComfy day
>>222889162Kys normie.
>>222890673kek good one
>>222889557They didn't say anything of the sort. I've been following every podcast and interview.
>>222888964Sinestro is a reasonable cunt sometimes
>>222889175I don't think shooting cats out of trees is the right answer, anon. I don't think shooting trees is it either.At least the barns are safe.
>>222889175>>222889232>>222890709No, you pieces of shit 95% of Green Lantern's entire history specifically the stories about fucking Hal Jordan takes place in fucking space. Eat shit and go fuck yourselves, stupid shiteating shills.
>>222890088Yeah but the people that made this work are not around and the world was different over 2 decades ago, they would not be able to replicate kino like this today
>>222890777>5% takes place on earth Lucky trips of truth. Praise Lanterns, the 5%!
>>222890777No they take place in Central City
>>222890777Good thing he’s getting killed off so black guy can take over
>tfw being a Hal Jordan fan finally pays off
>>222890790>Look, Mom, I made a funny comment can I eat my daily serving of shit now?kys cringe faggot.>>222890802>Stupid idiot doesn't even know what Hal Jordan's city is.Wow, you know almost as much about Green Lantern as the kike who writes this shit.
>>222888847God this nigger is aggressively ugly.
>>222889204Its coming.The show is gonna lose half the viewership today
>>222890833You didn’t like him in Black Reacher (2024)?
who is the man in outer space that Hal meets up with
>>222890883Sinestro
>>222890883He is supposed to be Sinestro Hal Jordan's mentor and the greatest Green Lantern before him but for some reason, here he is an old, fat man with bad pink makeup.
>>222890913why does he want information on John Stewart
>>222889730>we're doing the black lanterns arc>okay boss, who do we cast as Jon Stewart?
>>222890924was John making the green bird that big of a deal
>>222890946He's a cunning manipulative bastard with delusions of grandeur, sometimes rightfully justified because they make him a huge anti-hero/evil Gary Stu, so possibly because he has a scheme going on to either get himself out of jail or save the Lanterns and get himself out of jail.
>>222890967I think the big deal is for how long he kept that bird construct "alive", which I gather is really fucking hard to do.
>>222890782Good news anon. They don't want to replicate it, they want to subvert it to push their own political message.Can you see it? Superman competing with the flash to see who can fiddle the most grannies faster than the speed of light while hawk girl asks WW "how's your white man?" and invites her to a cuckold episode with negro lantern. Manhunter gets entire episodes on immigration and racism and is entirely black coded and Batman gets emasculated constantly for being a rich white man.
>>222888847prettiest black guy I've seen in a tv show
>>222891004BOLITIKSGUKOLDEMEGRANTSRAYCISM
>>222891010There's something going on here when it comes to Aaron Pierre that is really hard to understand. Anons really like this and I first noticed when Rebel Ridge came out because these fuckers just couldn't stop talking about how much of a good movie it is, when it's actually shit and his acting is cringe as fuck.
>>222888847I'm ready to decenter my whiteness, bros.
>>222888874>poor defenseless SomalisAll he wanted was a little applesauce.
>>222891060>Aaron Pierreis a British actor and model. why cant we get black americans to play these any roles anymore
>>222891194those are too unruly on the set
cant believe they made jon stewart black
>>222891060>There's something going on here when it comes to Aaron Pierre that is really hard to understand.I think it's the eyes
>>222891194American blacks have their own show. They don't want any to do with white men's comic books power wankery bullshits. Superheroes are a fascists game.
>>222890724Damon Lindelof: “If the premise of the show is saying, ‘Only one of these guys can have the ring,’ as a fan watching it without being someone who was making it, I would be like, ‘They’re going to find a way to have two rings, or they’re going to end around, or there’s going to be a big hug at the end and Hal’s going to say he’s going to retire to Florida.’ But every time we talked about that, we were like, ‘Hal Jordan ain’t retiring to Florida.’”
>>222891230Why they don't shill Iris Elba th- oh fuck. It really is the eyes, isn't it? They are gay for them
>>222888847After reading through some of these threads, I've decided not to participate in them. (besides this post)It's either racebait because X is black and Y said something about white people, the /co/fags going into autistic commentary about the source material or the previous iterations of Green Lanterns, or just empty theories (with sometimes the help of spoilers from leaks) about where the show is heading.
What is this shit?
>>222891215ironically, when looking up this show I found out that a bunch of people were mad that John Stewart wasn't dark enough lol
>>222888847When will my nigga Kilowog show up? Or is he is too silly for this “prestige” totally adult show
>>222891248Damon Lindelof: “Wouldn’t it be interesting if when he says to John, ‘The only way that you’re going to get this ring is you’re prying it from my cold, dead hand?’ This is the sort of implication!” Lindelof teases how this unexpected death will reverberate throughout the series: “What would it feel like for John for that actually to happen?”
>>222891324I think the second John was chosen as Hal's replacement, Hal became afraid of being replaced. That led to Parallax creeping in and infecting him and everything since 2016 has been Parallax setting the stage for his eventual appearance. The Manhunters are on Earth hunting Parallax, they just don't know who it is yet. Dead Hal is a body double, as evidenced by the reveal in the interrogation scene about 14 different species being able to imitate humans without detection. Hal mentioned the universe is generally a peaceful place, but Macon's talk about colonization gave him a bit of pause. In the previews for the rest of the season, we hear that Hal broke an oath and the Guardians are actively looking to replace him. He's slow-rolling John's training so he won't be ready to stop him once his plans are in place. Hal hasn't been "Green Lantern" since John was chosen, he's been Parallax playing the role. The ring being missing is a dead giveaway, as are all the hints about how Hal doesn't care about anything but the ring and the job. He's losing the one thing that gives him purpose, and that's the one thing he's afraid of.
>>222889204If the show doesn't use a phrase like... "Sounds about white," "wypipo don seezun dey food" or "the caucasity!" I'm going to be disappointed.Also, what's the over/under on total mentions (direct or implied) of wypipo at series end? I think it's at 5 or 6 after episode 2.
i need a stream breeygood hates Lantern
>>222891452Hbomax.com
>>222891390In that article he was discussing why he killed Hal off, not why he faked Hal's death. He was talking about the final scene in episode one. Killed. Off.
>>222891477ty mate
>>222888847>racist white militia leader marries and has kids with an ugly Indian that cheats on him
>>222891284That's because blacks, especially the females, are more racist than any other group.
>>222891010>>222890874>>222888847This nigga lookin' ZESTY, this nigga lookin' MOIST, he's got sugar in his tank, he's light on his feet, he's a Ill bit fruity, he plays for the other team, he dances at the other end of the ballroom, this nigga theatrical, this nigga good with colors, this nigga gonna coordinate yo curtains wit you cushions and that shit gonna look good! This nigga lifts shirts, this nigga on the down low, this nigga be a tollet trader, this nigga gardens uphill, this nigga packs fudge, he's a friend of Dorothy, he feels the love that dare not speak Its name, he loves to dance, he's of the Uranian brotherhood, he indulges in the French vice, he has an antipathic sexual Instinct, he's fluent in Polari, he's a refugee from Sodom, he's on the wrong bus, he bats for the other team, he's temperamental, he's 'one of if you catch my drift.
>>222891248>>222891324Nowhere in there does it say he's dead dead.
in episode 2 opener why is Hal in the football stands frozen and without the ring
The CW Lantern
>>222890702This
>>222888847Brace yourselves, it's the black lecture episode
>>222890790Kek this
>>222889612>most redd-t comment in the thread
>>222890833Is fuck him and I’m not even gay
>>222891284They're specifically not looking for Black Americans just Bongs and Africans. A lot of people think that since Hollywood is run by a certain group, it's a way to get back at Black Americans for their support of Gaza.
>>222891519We don’t know yet. That’s one of the mysteries of the show
>>222891390Parallax is such a faggot storyline. I really wish larpers would stop referring to it. There's a reason it was retconned...
>>222891581Will John cuck Hal like he did to Hawkman in that show
Sex with the sheriff and the jeeta
>first and unprompted posts itt were politics shitthey’re paid right? these fucking losers who insert politics into every aspect of our lives?
>>222890089I really like it but it doesn't have any hot chicks and that kinda bothers me
>>222891522Couldn't they make the GL emblem even smaller? WTF, who approved that? Then again, Guy Gardner's GL suit was mostly white, for some reason.
>>222891664(((They))) have to keep the culture war alive. It’s how they manipulate the masses
>>222890088Nobody tuned in to watch Green Lantern on this show. He was Hawkgirl's sidekick lmao people wanted to see Superman, Batman or Flash. Wonder Woman or Huntress if you were horny.
>>222890108true detective s4?
>>222891629Parallax is the only time Hal Jordan was even remotely interesting (before Geoff Johns' retcon tried to inject some personality into him). Silver Age characters like Hal Jordan and Barry Allen were always squares.
>>222891671>for some reasonDid you not watch the movie the Justice Gang wore matching jackets
>>222891680Is thay why (((They))) included all those anti White story elements in the show?
>>222891648John is fucking some grampa in drag, while Hal is cucking his own lawyer by going after the sheriff (classic Hal). Plus in that show Hawkgirl owned John, he wanted to be with Vixen multiple times but knew Hawkgirl was still in the cards due to meeting the son he was with her, in the future.
>>222891754The only person making people anti white is your whiny ass
>>222891010He looks like a pitbull
>>222891744If that were true, H.E.A.T wouldn't be a thing
>still marries a white guywhy are browns like this
>>222891790No he has a stately face. More like a great dane.
>>222888847Already saw the Drinker review, shan't be watching. Also have nigger fatigue, they're literally the same plank of wood every time because Hollywood can't give them personalities since that would be offensive.
>>222891010>>222891825This poster is black or a jeet.
>>222891825Great danes arent stately I laugh everytime I see one in public This is 100% what the actor looks like
>>222891806Tale as old as time
>>222891868>canonically 12 and never actually had a romance with SmithWhy did Disney force a pedophilia story?
>>222891868Pocahontas was 10
>>222888874I for one am glad HBO is there to inform ups how racist white people are with each and every superhero series they make.
Would a mask and white gloves fix this suit?
>>222889162How are we supposed to learn about how cowboy ranchers are militia member Fox News watching racists if the show takes place out in space anon? THINK for a minute here.
>>222888847>more boring shit and a lesson in racisms.
>>222891927>>222891935Getting conflicting information here.
>>222891962You see a suit with a mask in one of the flashback news segments. This isn't meant to be a good version of it, because he's barely putting it on or cares about it.Also the fact that this is clearly yellow vs how green the other suits look makes me feel like there's more to it
>>222891962The suit itself looks fine. It’s just that they made a suit for Jon, dirtied it up a bit, and gave it to Hal instead of making a suit for him.
>>222891935Pocahontas didnt even marry John Smith, she married a different White man. funny enough when John Smith accidently blew up his crotch with a gunpowder while canoeing and was sent back to England, Pocahontas talked her husband into both sailing for months across the Atlantic just to see him, where she then died in England from pneumonia
>>222891955You joke, but check out tiktok and you'll see people practically masturbating to the scene from episode one where Hal discovers the alien because he isn't racist enough for a local white guy.There are some people that are eating this shit up.
>>222891955>>222892022>how dare they acknowledge racism in America
>>222891962The suit is too big for his head. It looks like he made it out of a cardboard box.
>>222888874Why do chuds get mad about white people being depicted as racists when all chuds are proudly openly racist? Especially considering chuds claim the average person holds the same beliefs as them.
>>222892005Kek deserved. Race traiting whore. Hope her death was slow and painful
>>222892063>how dare they beat a dead horse
>>222891283>What is this shit?That's a fat old man with an idiot's face. in a ugly suit.
>>222892093Chuds want to be terrible people without having to get lectured about it
>>222892099>dead horse Same country that elected the most Israeli candidate of all time simply because he made fun of brown people btw
Stream on https://kino.tube if anyone still gaf
>>222891770>Hal is cucking his own lawyer by going after the sheriff (classic Hal)I don't think the real Hal Jordan would even bother with an ugly old smurfette, although, well, the real Hal Jordan isn't fat or has an idiotic face
>>222892063I just want to watch alien shit, not get lectured about modern race relations
>>222892063Nobody is watching a superhero show for lessons on racism. Though, I do wonder why they never tackle homophobia/transphobia, that would at least be more interesting and new.
>>222890967maintaining constructs without the ring or being awake isn't normally possible, in the comics it's one of john's quirks that he's able to do making more "permanent" constructs because his background besides the military service is as a professional architect so his constructs are usually more rigid. Kyle Rayner meanwhile was a professional cartoonist and illustrator so his are usually zanier and cartoony and creative.
>>222888847is it gonna be john stewart flash back episode again
>>222892022He also didn't know who Harry Potter was or the name of Hogwarts, and before the ayylmao detonates his suicide vest he shoves him against a wall and pins his arms while saying "Harry Potter went to Hogwarts, you ignorant alien fuck" which I was surprised they went with given how much libs melt down over JK rowling, but I guess HBO doing the remake means they're okay mentioning the series that causes troons to spontaneously combust
>>222891510Kino
>>222892179I’m watching it now and Hal pointed out how he created life with his subconscious as if it was abnormal. Makes me think they’reforeshadowing that storyline with his sister
>>222892153>lecture >just one throwaway line about hillbilly’s hating Obama At least complain about the actual preachy dialogue like the “white guys get to get away with anything” spiel when Jon talked to the guys wife he fucked.>>222892161It’s a show about a black superhero in America. Racism is going touched on at the very least man.>homophobia/transphobia never gets discussed It does, all the time. Now whether it’s written well is another thing.
>>222890813Green Lantern is honestly one of the stupidest heroes. >make whatever with green magic>be allergic to yellow>can't hurt wood Jack Black's version would've been best.
>>222892249>Makes me think they’reforeshadowing that storyline with his sisterthat story turns John into a creep
>Janus CosmeticsI guess Black Mask was planned in DCU sooner or later.
>>222892275Yes anon, its all tiresome and is meant to lecture.
>>222892359Janus Cosmetics? More like, Anus Cosmetics.
I can't tell if the writing is bad, or if they are making it a universal rule that all aliens aren't completely fluent in English.
John's dad failed the vibe check lol
>John's dad couldn't over come his fear>resents the white man ever since because how can anyone be more fearless than me?bold take, lets see where this goes.
Why hasn’t Green Lantern nuked Gotham off the face of the earth?
>>222892484>implying Batman wouldn't curb stomp any lantern that tries.
>guardian looks like a normal humanNow I remember why I hate when comics are adapted as shows
>>222892484Because they have a very strong Aurafield
Chuds are going to be livid about this episode kek
>>222892540>John becomes a lantern because his mom guilt trips one of the guardiansI can already sense nerdrotic having a stroke.
>>222892512
>>222892275>black superhero in AmericaBut why though? If every black superhero has to have a mandatory lesson on racism, it makes them all appear as carbon copies of one another. I’d assume most people get tired of hearing and seeing the same thing over and over.
>did you ever consider what it would be like to see an ayy lmao for a black man>y'all don't even consider us up in space neither
>>222892484vampire might take his ring :/
>>222892563
>>222892596Do any black people see scenes like this, and appreciate the writing? Or do they find it terribly insulting?
Is there a download up for this episode somewhere yet?
>>222892563I wonder if that writer seethed about this as a kid
>>222892617Kek green lantern a bitch
>>222892063>how dare they acknowledge racism in America
>>222892617Superman has jobbed to Batman. The Hulk has jobbed to Batman. Darkseid has jobbed to Batman. This is just editorial mandate.
>>222888847I'm glad I'm not watching this shit.
>>222892596But they did consider them obviously? Why else would they choose John Sr first.
>>222892563>Guy pogging out Kek
DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO BLACK IN AMERICA SPACE LADY?!
>>222892596Dey blu peepl finna don c us brunz
>>222888847so it's just a shitty true detective copy that happenes to have the names of dc characters in it?
>>222892679And what is your opinion of people of color anon
>>222892707Well do you?
>>222889232Does Halh do magic shit with his ring? Then it's not actually green lantern in anything but name. Kill yourself faggot.
>It's the mom's idea to raise her youngest son as a complete sociopath to get the attention of magical blue elves and represent the black people on a universal scalethe sheer fucking audacity
You know how they call people with big foreheads, "five-head?" Well, John Stewart has a three-head.
>>222888847>black lecture turned up to 11Why do they do this lol
>>222892654I went to see Black Panther at the theater, and probably 20% of the audience was black.Any kind of lecture or lesson or quip about black/white relations, was met with a uh huh by the black women there like they were in church
>>222889454Because orange man bad.
>flashback episode >muh "do better" speech because DC didn't learn from people rejecting that bullshit from black Captain AmericaThe last 5 episodes better do some heavy lifting cuz this one shit on the goodwill of the first 2
>>222890777So you're admitting, and trips confirm, that atleast 5% of the time he does shit on Earth?
>>222892746BASED black mom, the vast majority don't do any parenting good or bad of any kind.
A BLACK woman wrote this episode BTW.Listen.
>>222892719All fine as long as they assimilate, abandon their religions, try to learn English, and don't speak ebonics AND, encourage others to do the same. Not a tall order.
>>222892749The lecturing will continue until it penetrates your dense skull
>you cant ask black folks if theyre afraid thats racist n sheeet
https://gofile.io/d/rhnjFr1V
>>222889839Why are you liberals so obsessed with darkies overrunning white society?
>>222892809thats anti Semitics
>>222892740Yes, he does. Any more dumbass questions dipshit?
>>222892746OkNow this is woke
>>222892818NICE!!!!!
I feel like the Chuds will actually love the fact that the Mom is egging this shit on.
>>222890465Buy an ad, tranny.
>>222892818Our next president btw
>>222888847Why don’t they hire people with the inability to feel fear, not just that they don’t feel fear through training?
>>222892858I'm still betting that the Guardians are eventually going to clarify that it's not just about having no fear, but the ability to overcome fear.
>>222892858Cause then you end up with psychopaths like Sinestro
>>222892749>Why do they do thisI really don't know. I thought it was pandering and white writers trying to prove how much of an "ally" they are by decentering their whiteness or whatever but the writer of the blacksplaining episode/s is an afrocentric Unapologetically Black™ Proud Woman, so it turns out that it's just straight up lecturing the white devil.
Is picrel scrimblo bimblo enough for James Gunn to take an interest in him?
What’s this thing with birds
John's bitch mom is saving this episode
>>222892953This, it's actually quite wild. She's not creating a human without fear, she's creating a monster. Very nearly Sinestro 2.0
>>222892734I know how hard retarded white people think it is
>filler episodeyawn
>>222892856Running her would be a gift to the opposition.
Da fuck is this show?
>>222892951The Guardians shapeshift into birds to watch over John.
So, this is jus John backstory ?
>>222892998cant believe they gave us the best scene in the series last week and didnt follow up on the cliffhanger
>>222892766>>222892953Spoke too soon. They made that bitch loony tunes.
Putting this somewhat above average acting bitch in a scene with Linney and making race shit was a fucking decision. It looked stupid and she got acted circles around.
>>222893003you underestimate the number of simps and gooners in this country.
>>222893003They were seen as property less than 200 years ago
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
gawd his mom is such a black bitch
>>222892939also (((Damon Lindelof)))
Holy fuck we get it, white people are evil, I'm a bad person, I don't deserve anything, black people do nothing wrong, black people are the superior raceEnough is enough, this is all the media tell me every fucking day
>>222892951John's thing is making simulacra with a facsimile of their own volition.In the comics golem of his dead sister is currently walking around as a blue lantern. This was after he made a golem of himself that gave her life
>>222893034His mom is a villain?That’s racist and sexist
Episode title should be “The Message”. Easy skip in future rewatches.
>>222893004>Da fuck is this show?Seriously, what the fuck is this show?
>>222893083>implying ever rewatching this shit
>>222893020It's the black "lived experience" episode meant to generate sympathy and motivation for our hero in waiting.
Grace said the show gets much better after episode 4EVS didn't think it was woke
>>222892949I don’t think this show has the budget to afford him unfortunately
>>222893118are those friends of yours?
>>222893118well even in this episode the mom who was playing the race card is shown to be a sociopath two scenes later
holy chud kinoX is gonna have a blast with this
>>222893118John was literally created as black representation in the 70s. The social commentary is a part of his character’s origin
>>222893110yet all it does is make us hate them
jesus tap dancing Christ, SPACE ALIENS DON'T CARE YOU'RE BLACK!
>>222893161So he’s the first Miles
Are they going to make him a combination of Kyle Rainer and John? I thought being an artist was Kyle’s thing
Man, I tried to give this show, but it's just too weird with all the negro worship and white hatred.Don't know what I was expecting from Lindelof.
I'm 17 minutes in and the involvement of John's mother simply tells me that she and his father used him to fulfill whatever ideal model they thought they could engineer in a person, like a test subject. I wholeheartedly don't believe that the creators of the show wanted this to be a good message, but we'll see when the episode or the season goes on. They already showed that John's father is a fucking psychopath with the apple shooting scene.
>You wanna be a Lantern? Sell me this watch.
>>222889730I find it hard to believe a low budget buddy cop thriller goes to fucking Emerald Twilight
>>222893118i wouldnt call the "show" woke. they just always have some woman cry muh racism. at least the characters they're crying to never explicitly agree with them
what suburbia lets you shoot a gun at all, let alone in the middle of the night?
>>222893183John's an architect
>>222893190Shock twist, mom is even more retarded.
>>222892777And let me guess you're so stupid you think that when Hal Jordan is on Earth he goes around to random towns working as a detective? NO, you piece of shit; not even this shitty slop respects how Jordan operates on the fucking Earth when he's on fucking earth, it's because hes literally fighting a cosmic threat the Sinestro Corps, Krona, some Emotional Spectrum entities, Manhunters, Black Hand, Starro. The fucking ring can scan an entire fucking planet; he doesn't go around like some fat old faggot whining because some ugly old bitch won't let him investigate the possible presence of a fucking alien in some fucking stadium do you think your stupid brain can grasp that?
>>222891962please tell me that is an AI fake
>>222893030What's the cut off date for getting the fuck over it like every other "traumatized" group has had to do? *Traumatized is in quotes because collective, race based, multi generational trauma is absolutely fucking nonsense. A concept invented by Jews to prolong white guilt, then adapted and further exploited by other "oppressed peoples."
>sometimes a Black man has to raise his own hand This episode is absolute cringe, what the fuck? They’re about to lose half their audience
Is laziness apart of the emotional spectrum? Do I get a ring for being the most slothful being of my sector?
Im sorry im white
Only two Lantern characters have the quality to be leadsHal and Jessica
>>222893176Yeah basically
>>222892484>Why hasn’t Green Lantern nuked Gotham off the face of the earth?because unfortunately all the psychos in Gotham are 100% home grown bona-fide earthlings. Lanterns are allowed to go full star destroying war crime nuke crazy against ayylmaos, but they're not allowed to interfere with a planet's domestic affairs. The Guardians are an inter-planetary peacekeeping organization, they do not involve themselves in intra-planet governance. It's their equivalent of the star trek prime directive, if the Riddler or Calendar Man was a martian they'd have no issue vaporizing him but unfortunately they're Gotham born and raised.
kek Kyle's such an ass
>>222893226Anyone who truly has a problem with this left in episode 1. The rest of us are masochists riding til the end of the line.
DAMN DRUNK WHITE MAN'S PRIVILEGE GOT MY NIGGA DISCHARGED!
>In brightest day>in blackest night,>no evil shall escape my sight!>Let those who worship evil's might,>beware my power,>Green Lantern's light!Is there a more kino oath?
why is all american media like this now?
>>222893243You’re forgetting B’dg
>>222893235That's not enough. Nothing will ever be enough.
>>222893298Because trump won.That's literally it.Its trying to brainwash the population from voting in another conservative
>>222893298because the people making it are so delightfully out of touch, they have to feel fulfillment by proxy
>>222893235And you still don’t get it
So in the show, Hal is literally the source of everything wrong in Stewart's life. From nearly the day he was born, to his career in the military, to his potential as a GL. It all comes down to Hal one way or another.
>>222893298this show represents core american values
>>222888847>Hal Jordan is fearless cuz privilegeBitch, try climbing into the cockpit of an experimental jet and pushing it past its limits and see if you can find his “privilege.”
>"Green Lanterns can't get involved in Earth Politics and disobey orders, Hal Jordan is going off script and we need you to replace him... and no you can't just replace the just as insane green lantern with a bowl cut who's doing the exact same thing, arguably more chaotic than Hal is"
>You're brown!Kek
>>222893378yes, John is a characture puppet with the writer's hand up his ass
>>222893200don't they live on a military base?
>>222893118The racebaiting black mother is also a fucking psychopath who traumatizes her son into being a child soldier unafraid of having apples shot off his head and trains him like pavlov's dogs with cheeseburgers after each session, while he later grows up to be a vegan because he associates meat with his abusive psycho parents, so IDK if you can honestly say it's woke.....The woman who wrote this episode definitely has some fucking mommy issues though lmao
reminder Tom King is a literal glowie neopbaby whos mom worked as an exec for Warner Bros
>>222893431That’s even less likely.
>>222893183John's thing is that his constructs are practical and built with the exactitude of an architect or engineer
>>222893431what military base lets people shoot random firearms in the dorm areas?
>>222888847John Stewart's dad was afraid of a green bubble because of white people
That episode was terrible. I hope the writers don't actually think the audience will blame Hal Jordon for John having insane parents. And what the fuck was with how his mother was acting? She was three different people at least. Did they think they made her look to mean and try to soften her in the middle, because now she just seems crazy. She comes across as the kind of maniac that thinks they're the good guys. And the guardians going on a "sorry you didn't get the job" excursion? WTF was that?
>>222893200It's a peashooter
>>222893466Kekked and chekked.
>>222893161made by two white boomers
Thank fuck this is the last Vanessa Baden Kelly episode. The rest should be kino.
>>222893286Nah. The kid in me still gets a little hype whenever it comes up.
Total Hal disrespect lmfao
>>222893468>And the guardians going on a "sorry you didn't get the job" excursion? WTF was that?The Guardians being out of touch is pretty standard.
>>222893477Irrelevant
>>222893407you're implying these things are written with any continuity in mind
>>222893378Hal is a metaphor for white people pushing the black man down
>>222893496experimental test pilot for the military is fearless because white privilegesurely there's no black adrenaline junkies known for poor impulse control and lack of fear of consequences.....no sire.....
>>222893286There is not. Only the Night’s Watch vow comes close.
someone interpret for me; is the mom satire or totally an outlet for the writers?
>>222893517You are fucking retarded.
>>222893496It's literally a cope. Anything but the truth, that Hal was the best one for the job. That's why he got it.The ring did an interview, daddy Stewart didn't make the cut. And it wasn't because of race, it's because he was afraid. A hard requirement for the job. If an entire sub section of a species gets eliminated because of generational trauma, then tough shit. Wait for a generation that isn't fucked up and try again. Which is kind of what they did.
the episode was absolute shit til the last few minutes when Hal showed up
>>222893529take it up with Vanessa Baden Kelly bro, I didn't write this shit
>>222889066>and the local diner plays War on Drugs songs.even people from Nebraska like Under the Pressure Anon
they're calling him the most mommy issue'd character to ever be issued
>>222893407Guy directly addresses this, he just doesn't give a fuck. Much like Hal. But apparently both are so good at the job that the Guardians tolerate their fuckery.
Oh no.Reddit isn't even behind this episode.
>>222893407at least this one retard that Hal took got arrested, Guy Gardner flipped tanks on top of people and gave zero fucks
Jesus Fucking Christ. This was cold as fucking fuck lmaoooooooooooo
>>222893540Fucking A.
>>222893528Early on, it seemed like a strong example of just bad parents that forced their kid into a crazy life. Then it's like the writers thought they could spin this in some other way, but you can't uncrazy the crazy.
>>222893528What do you think? This was the writer.>>222893554
I now assume that's why Jon fucks the granny, he's got mommy issues
>>222893565But that's what niggers whine about in real life
>>222893539nope, the space aliens are racist against black people, that's all
>>222893569He should have shot the bitch.
>>222893582Can't wait to get to that part because I'm 38 minutes in and they still seem retarded as fuck
>>222893528It seemed initially that the mom was almost cartoonishly evil in her attempt to groom her son. But then, as time went on, she cooled off because she felt like the Guardians passed them by again.
is my hbo fucked up or was the scene with the apple on the dad’s head and the shitty cut to the bird like a legit mistake in the editing?
>>222893601they have a nice house and can afford a shit ton of apples though
>>222893582we knew the writers were retarded in episode 1 the second they made shooting an apple off a kid's head a touching family moment
Can you really say it's woke if the person who's saying woke lines is literally the wrong side. Like genuinely, the bitch has been using the race card for something messed up. I can admit the lines are woke to some cringe degree, but it's obvious that you aren't supposed to agree with a bitch who's grooming her son into being a fearless killing machine.It's really weird lol
>Even in space, ya'll don't think of us.Why the fuck would they? They are trying to police the ENTIRE universe. Qudrillions of individuals, endless conflicts across the cosmos. Why would they give a second thought about one subspecies in a back water world not worth a second thought.Why must the cosmos bend to the will of the few?
>>222888847We get it, fragile 4chan racists didn’t being forced to confront race and disadvantaged Black people have. Get over it. How was the episode otherwise?
All the problems in John's life are because a Guardian decided to play politics and pick their own candidate, instead of just letting the rings choose like normal?
>>222893652the writers legitimately don't understand they made the mother a monster
>>222893528I have no clue. In the comics she's well meaning and respectful. Here it feels like she put on a whole Madea act
>>222893635I bet they moved to a white neighborhood though.
>>222893673The episode was fine, and the relationship with the mom was legit fascinating in how insane she was. And how she dragged her entire family into her delusions of grandeur and superiority.
it's been years now since i became a professional racist, and i still can't tell if writers like the ones on this show are also professional racists or just retardedat the very least they've managed to make me feel sympathetic towards john because his parents are fucking psychopathic black nationalists
>>222893673It was ok outside of the "shock" of all the crazy shit John family was making him do. Out of the 3 episodes, this felt the less Green Lantern show in the already lesser Green Lantern series.
>>222893652You’re looking at this from the perspective of someone with a reliable moral compass. That’s a rare commodity in Hollywood circles these days. You seen “The End of Oak Street” yet, that heartwarming little family adventure romp where a mom steals her husband from her own family in the past and dooms them to death by dino? That’s how fucked up they are. They’ve lost all perspective on what goodness and decency look like.
fuck it. make john vegan
I thought Hal got the ring off a dying alien so how can John Sr. be a candidate and also how is Guy a lantern
Reddit has fully awakened.Good on them.Too bad they're all jeets now.
>>222893652Yeah they made John's parents come off as complete pieces of shit. The race card isn't sympathetic when you're a psychopath.
I'm out.They got three episodes out of me, but I'm out.This is right up there with Lovecraft Country and (HBO's) Watchmen.This is top-tier shit.You have no one to hate but yourself if you continue to watch this shit.This episode will easily be the most down-voted episode of the season.I know I'm being naive this early in to think it can't get any worse, but this show has set the bar high, or low, for topping this terrible news.This episode was absolutely awful. A complete summary of everything wrong with Hollywood this decade. The DCU is dead.
Racism is bad, but clearly your father's good candidacy is hereditary... They didn't even separate the conflicting message by a whole minute of dialog.
>>222893712The whole undercurrent of The End of Oak Street is the morally questionable and/or subversive shit going on underneath the wholesome 80s veneer, bro.
>>222893720did you think dc media was going to follow the comics?
>>222893720No, Hal said that the ring came to him and ask him "are you afraid", he said no, and it flew him to the dead alien. The ring searched first for John Sr, who said that he was afraid, and thus rejected him and went to Hal. No idea to how Guy got it tho.>>222893582I guess you mean the whole art school, but I felt it as more manipulation, it's like the cheeseburger thing. Something to make him feel better and not "hate them"
>>222893744Apparently according to the reviewers who saw every episode except for the final one, this is as bad as the racebating gets
>>222893744Hbo watchmen wasn’t nearly this bad
>>222893720In the comics, the ring picked both Hal and Guy for the job, but since Hal was closer and it was an emergency situation, Hal got the ring first and Guy only got his much later.The show flipped this by having John's father be the first pick, but fail the fearlessness test, so the ring went to Hal. Seems that Hal will somehow lose the ring after the 2016 timeline, and rather than going to John, Guy got it.I guess since John is the special chosen one who can create living constructs without the ring, he'll just will himself a ring and let Guy keep Hal's.
>>222893781They kept giving the mother a bunch of Captain Kirk speeches. As if she had some high ground to talk about, while forcing her child through torture because they saw the job as a status symbol they for force him to live up to.
>>222893786No, it was far, far worse.
>>222893813How so?
>>222893718not unless it's off another man's grill, anyway
>>222893825>Dr. Manhattan transforms into a black man because the black woman he falls in love with can't be with a white manGolly gee, you tell me?
>>222888847Im so goddamn tired of americans and their racism allegories
>>222893785>absolutely abysmal is as bad as it getsthat's not really a plus for the show
>>222893850Thats not what happened in the show, though. Anything else?
>>222893825Watchmen’s entire story revolves around not only racism, but also reparations, the Tulsa massacre, blacking Hooded Justice, giving us Dr. Detroit, the list is damned near endless.
This episode is basically >ayo dis crackas evil yoNot important to the story. No qt sheriff. Disrespecting Hal. Calling him privileged white male. The "Guardian" is lectured on how black people are discriminated in America, etc.just skip it
>>222893874That is *precisely* what happened in the show.
>>222893891>ayo these ypipo be racis >immediately moved to a nice house in a white neighborhood after an alien gives you a diamond
a grim look into what the show will be if theres ever season 2 with no Kyle Chandler to carry it
>>222893703Yeah, after finishing it I felt as like the race blaming came more from psychotic characters than John, so I don't know if the person making this doesn't realize how it comes off. It's really weird, John's parents hate him because he's white mostly the mother, but John itself was groomed to hate him, while the Guardians hate Hal because he keeps using his powers for stuff in Earth, and thus Hal hates John being called in as his replacement by the Guardians. It's like the woke shit is only to John's parents, and it comes off as extremely fucked up. I thought I would hate it, but it surprisingly made me more sympathetic to John. Hell it had his brothers saying that he was not a nigga.
>>222893908No. He had to hide the fact that he’s Manhattan, he takes the identity of who’s available at their local morgue.
>>222893921>season 2lol that's never happening
>>222893825>main threat of Watchmen is nuclear armageddon>Lindelof thinks that the equivalent threat in the modern day is racism>Dr. Manhattan (who was hitting prime Silk Spectre) returning from exile just to fall so hard for a middle-aged black woman that he changes himself into a black guy to woo her>the lube-man plot that went nowhere>Nite Owl never shows up because Lindelof didn't want any straight white men taking attention away from his OC donut steel>black crime is because of racists using mind control devicesjust off the top of my head
>>222893939Incorrect. He has a choice, and he takes the dead black guy because she would be “more comfortable” with a black guy. I guess racism and bigotry are OK as long as you’re not white.
>>222893939No, he doesn't hide until later. He spent years fucking her in the body shape he stole from a dead black man. He doesn't do the mind wipe until after they're in a relationship
>>222893975Well obviously she’s not going to pick some fish faced gook
NEW THREAD:>>222894023>>222894023>>222894023>>222894023
i know i'm reposting reddit but holy shitthese people are given the same rights as you or ithey're allowed to breathe our airthat's injustice
>>222894029The only wrong thing about that post is him white washing the parents behavior, but it's a different take than the usual minorities are born with struggle because it painted them here as fucking crazy and in the case of John's parents as them living through their kid
>>222893862>americans and their racism allegoriesIt's not limited to American shows. It's spread everywhere, and especially popular in British shows.
>>222893927>Hell it had his brothers saying that he was not a nigga.I hate it when this happens to me
>>222893605For some reason it seemed like she wasn't around anymore based on the previous episode with the dad shooting the apple off his head, so it was half expected that John might have killed her in that scene.
>>222894099Do you listen to Chopin too, anon? I love Four Seasons.
>>222893950Thank God Nite Owl never showed up. He was spared.
Lindelof is like that black studies white guy from Minnesota... Will Stancil. "It do be like dat, Mista Stancil!"
>>222894114Yeah, me too.
>>222894115Ooh, I do love me some Antonio Vivaldi
>>222892673ROFL is this the same issue where he beat the Flash by making him trip?
I like how the Guardians gave reparations for not picking John Sr and within five years all the money is gone. That diamond was ridiculously huge. It's about the size of the Centenary diamond which is insured at $100 million.
>>222892949Gunn would love to use Larfleeze. He's basically Alf with Comic Book Guy's personality and majority of the time he is the comic relief of whatever book he appears in.
>>222894349He also requires lots of CGI.
>>222894259Must have been an expensive satellite dish they built to call the guardians.
>>222893286Alan Scott never uses the Green Lantern oath, at least, not that Alan Scott.
>>222894259Didn't John mention the cops arrested his mom when she tried to sell it, because they thought it was stolen?I assume the cops never gave it back since an alien, who won't verify the story, gave it to her.
>>222894547Pic related. "Diamond's money is gone"
>>222894547>>222894565John didn't say she got arrested, just that the police visited her.
