No Fucks Given edition. Previous thread: >>222888847.Episode synopsis: Episode 3 steps away from the 2016 murder investigation to tell John Stewart's origin story and explain why the Guardians chose him as a future Green Lantern.
>>222894023It was a bad episode on multiple levels, between John and his parents essentially being villains and his origin story being that of a villain. Plus the multiple scenes of racial lecturing and incredibly bad depictions of firearms usage. Shooting apples off the head of another person in a residential area with no hearing protection is a trifecta of bad writing decisions that some dumb asses will probably try to replicate and end up in the news.
>>222894045Uh oh chud melty
>>222894023>ayo these ypipo be racis>immediately moved to a nice house in a white neighborhood after an alien gives you a diamond
>>222894060Why would they use their reparations to move to a white neighborhood? Wouldn’t staying in the hood offer better opportunities for him to get over fear?
>>222893190Just finished watching it. This anon summarized it well the stuff about the mother: >>222893616.>>222893582Yeah, they fucked up the shit out of John. It's funny because I'm sure the writers will try to redeem her (again) by making John do good use of his artistic skills. They really fucked up the parents characterization by justifying all of their antics and their entire obsession by stamping on John's forehead: "See? It works, just grind your kids into perfection!". >>222889543Guess those anons were wrong, and I was too to expect that to happen. They are making Hal into a huge fucking asshole. They could still do a 180, but it would be weird as fuck.
I cringed like 4 times this episode, which is up from 1 cringe an episode.
I was promised a true detective like show and all I got was that I need to apologize for being whitewhy do they keep insisting on pushing this shit? why?
>>222894023Where can I go to review bomb this episode
>>222894045erm...isn't this cultural appropriation of a german folk tale?
Anyone check on nerdrotic? How's he taking it?
Whites do know fear though.Fear of the 13/56.
>>222894131I like John Stewart more, strong man, but I also pity him more. This episode was sad. They raised him like a psychopath, and to some degree he is, but he also seems like a good man. The parents lucked out a lot on him because most other kids would end up painting the walls with their brains.
>so ya'll aliums don't even be thinkin bout us neeva huh?
>>222894096I think Hal has a genuine reason to be an asshole to John tho, the guardians are up his ass, something about the Sinestro thing put him off being a GL, and they are now talking about replacing him.
>>222894159Fuck off. We don't want you here.
>>222894185what's crazy is that the sinestro stuff happened recently, so Hal Jordan has been Sinestro's trainee for 30 years now...This is supposed to be year three in the comics. Make it make sense.
>>222894193I do. Plus the film threat guys.
>>222894185If the episode is any indicator, they've been preparing a replacement since the day Hal was selected. The Guardian literally convinced John's parents to raise him in the style of crazy. Johns upbringing is what happens when the Guardians don't step back and just let the rings do the picking.
ayo glad this fucking HONKIE is dead niggaWE GREEN LANTERN NOWgonna show all these space mothafuckas how a BLACK MAN handles thingsthey gon know WE STAND ON BUSINESSten toes DOWN nigga
>>222894237I presume that Hal trained under Sinestro, thereafter when he became a proper lantern on his own, he still considered Sinestro as a mentor and father figure.
>3 episodes in>jack shit has happened>literally zero goddamn green lantern shit other than a green birdwhy is modern television like this?
Why are shills so desperate for this shit which rapes Green Lantern lore to work?
I honestly expected them to drop the kid in a street full of white people and tell him "survive that" but it was just 2 random drunk black guys
>>222894237Considering he was doing shit on earth alone and there was no mention of Sinestro, he wasn't a trainee by then >>222894252I think is more so that, they expected the human Green Lantern to not spent all his time in his planet of origin, and be out there in all of his sector. Yet, Hal was going back and forward, and as seen in the last one, he basically became a starIt's the classic "the guardians fucked up again"
>>222894252>Johns upbringing is what happens when the Guardians don't step back and just let the rings do the picking.I wish you were right, but it's way, way more stupider than that. Or at least they are making the Guardians be the grade-A assholes they are in the comics, a cabal filled to the brim with bullshit decisions all over the galaxy. Why? It's simple, one fucking Guardian appears to the mother and convinces her into raising John as one-man-army of sorts AT THE SAME TIME she's on Earth apologizing for the mistake they've been making when choosing Green Lanterns, which is basically traumatic, if John's father is an example. So in one second they (or this Guardian) has the empathy to recognizes their mistake and in the others, for many decades, they have been watching John's parents abusing him without saying a fucking world. Which leads me to believe that they either fucked the writing, or they will make this specific Guardian be in cahoots with Sinestro or be the big bad of the season/show.
>>222894280Did his parents want him to get raped?
>>222894280didn't live up to your mental illness, did it? your victims complex? your persecution syndrome? sad, but many such cases tho
>>222894329Or the Guardians are just experimenting with humans to see if they can get the same output from them as the get from Hal. For all the headaches he causes, Hal is widely considered one of the greatest of all the lanterns. They may be trying to replicate such success.
>>222894023Why did they cast a 95% white mixed race lady to play a black radical?
>>222894397>Or the Guardians are just experimenting with humans to see if they can get the same output from them as the get from Hal.And still be the "protectors of the cosmos"?>For all the headaches he causes, Hal is widely considered one of the greatest of all the lanterns. Right, but that's comic canon. What evidence do we have the same applies to ShowHal? AFAIK, or remember from what the show gave us so far, Hal is just another Green Lantern. Nothing special about him compared to the others, with the exception that his defeated Sinestro, his mentor, when he went bad.
>Now, eventually you do plan to have superheroes on your...on your superhero show, right? Hello?
>>222894356Maybe if Lindelof wanted to pull a reverse South Africa
Episode without the sheriff this week, we need her more wearing the glasses.
>>222894259>let's just give them a huge fucking diamondI love how autistic they made the Guardians. They seemingly do no fucking homework on the species.>select Lanterns in any way they can>watch them abuse their offspring for years to manufacture a soldier>they seem to value shiny rocks, so let's apologize for this mistake by buying their tears with a fuckhueg carat Honestly, they behave like the fucking mafia kek
one of the bests!
why didn't the guardians ask john how he'd feel if he hadn't had breakfast that morning
I would shoot his mother too
>>222894505He's just preaching for the woke audience, trying to sell his show. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do And they didn't even do a good job. John's parents were probably cozy with Michael Jackson's parents
>>222894023Wow yet another episode of modern television where NOTHING FUCKING HAPPENS. Why does this keep happening? Who wants to watch an hour long episode of ZERO story progression. Who gives a fuck about John Stewarts psychopathic parents.
>>222894519With my cock
>>222894525>Who gives a fuck about John Stewarts psychopathic parents.Me. I disliked John's autism yes sir bootlicking manners, now I feel sorry for him.
>>222894045Was thinking this the whole time. On top of the stilted, weird dialog and awful chemistry, they couldn't even get someone on set to teach trigger discipline or barrel control that a fucking marine would have. Shooting a 22(confirm this?) into an exterior garage wall runs a high risk of ricochet as well. Doing so in suburbia would result in the cops getting called every time.
>>222894502The diamond stands in for reparations. Just throwing money at traumatized people doesn’t fix them.
>>222894556>Shooting a 22(confirm this?) into an exterior garage wall runs a high risk of ricochet as well. Doing so in suburbia would result in the cops getting called every time.It was a black neighborhood, though. That's exactly the kind of thing I expect from the US in the, what, 80s?
There's a big aspect of Green Lanterns about willpower. And twice so far, in this new episode, I've seen John get jerked around and take no real initiative of his own. The whole show seems more interested in telling you things than having characters dialogue and talk to each other.
>>222894583>Just throwing money at traumatized people doesn’t fix them.And that's how bad at their job they are.
finally finished the episodequite fucking horrible, i must saybut naturally there will be no criticism of john's parents being criminal abusers because they're black, so whatever they do to make their kids tough enough to survive in Whitey's World is okay
>>222894023should I bother watching this shit? It's co-created by Damon Lindelof who made that anti-white racist cuck fantasy series Watcchmen back in 2019
>>222894626>but naturally there will be no criticism of john's parents being criminal abusers because they're black, so whatever they do to make their kids tough enough to survive in Whitey's World is okayWhere will you search for such criticism? Because I'm seeing anons demolish them and I'm pretty sure Twitter is full of people seeing John parents as nothing more than psychopathic.
>>222894583>>222894502It wasn't even real trauma. He was upset to get rejected for a job he never knew he wanted until that moment. He doesn't even want the job, he just wants the status of being picked. He has no idea what the job is even about at that point. He only knows that some other dude was on TV after doing something good that day.
>>222894634I'd be skipping this if I didn't need water cooler talk. It's not that engaging of a Green Lantern story and the social commentary is close to juvenile. On top of that it's that HBO taint of nudity and cursing that really doesn't fit a DC superhero story.
>>222894674from somewhere more mainstream than a chinese fingerpainting forum, obviously
>>222894634I think you just answered your own question.
You know, the thing about John Stewart is that he faced a lot of personal issues while on the job as Green Lantern. They're overloading him with extra baggage to fill in the first half of his life that nobody was really asking more of.
I think this episode did the opposite of what they were intending. It just makes John and his parents look like insane people and Hal look like the good guy.
>>222894023Easily the worst episode so far.
This bitch is a Manhunter. In the original story John acquires his ring by fighting a Manhunter sent by the Guardians to test his resolve. Either she's trying to scheme something on her own, or she was sent by them, but it's plotting against them anyway. The guardians are fucking dwarfs, yet in her appearance to John's mother she was tall as fuck. Something's funky here.
>>222894714how much can we blame john for becoming what he is when he was groomed to be an intergalactic child soldier?
Core plot asideThe writing and dialogue is really fucking bad in this birthday scene.
>niggas acting like it's the Jim Crowe era>flashbacks take place in the 90's
>>222894681It sure fuck with his mind, though. My dude couldn't function well after being passed like that.
>>222894152IMDB I guess
>>222894711>he faced a lot of personal issues while on the job as Green Lantern.I remember a very good episode of Justice League (Unlimited?) where they frame John for nuking an entire fucking planet. Amazing storytelling because the entire thing is just a space court room full of dialogue.
>lanterns cant know fear>its different for black people!>ok im sorry. How about we give your son a chance as reparationswtf is this logic?
>>222894023Man Nerdortic, Critical drinker, Ryan Kinel, Mauler, Az, and Disparu are going to have a 3 hour long chud out over this episode aren't they.
>>222894425Because that’s how they are in real life. They resent their whiteness and going hard in the paint with black issues they think they’ll be accepted by the dark skins.
>>222894152Write a letter to HBO's CEO
>>222894023When you ignore all the "boohoo I am black in kikemerica. It is all whitey's fault" the episode boils down to John Stewart and the Guardians plotting against Hal Jordan and trying to game the will of the ring for their petty self-interest and how they feel wronged by Hal Jordan for maintaining justice and being fearless. John Stewart's mind warped by hatred for Hal due to his parent's eternal seething coupled with Hal bringing about a truer justice for John's target and the Guardians' minds warped by hatred for Sinestro, Hal's mentor, who Hal apprehended for them, but is treated as guilty by association plus they don't like how Hal has a better handle on what is just by protecting society internally as well as externally. John Stewart and the Guardians have no interest in justice and find the perfect Uncle Tom in John Stewart. Hal keeps both at arms length because he realizes they have been corrupted by their hatred.
>you're a coon, john>you're a nigga, john
>>222894940No, this is about Hal being corrupted by Parallax and John earning his ring by saving Hal. Write this down. I know it.
>>222895014Oh, and Sinestro finally getting his Yellow Ring. Write this down. Again.
Boring garbage woke show Gunnverse sucks
Hey was John always good with drawing? I thought he was just a marine, and the creative person with great drawing skills was Kyle Rayner.
>>222895065They never really focused on John as an artist, more on the architectural side. Kyle is supposed to be the artsy one.
>>222894023The episode was fine if not a bit boring but the whole “ we’re black feel bad for us” was tough to watch. They didn’t have to nail the audience in the head with their intended message
I really think they are just going to fuse/tie the Manhunter lore with the Martian Manhunter lore. I can't get past the visual of the Guardian revealing their true form and having an X marked on their back, and they've been showing that shot since like the first trailer/teaser.
>>222895096wait so John is an architect and a marine in the comics?
PARENTS by DEFINITION are supposed to be selfless and altruistic when comes to their children....John Stewart Jr's parents are NOT AT ALL by putting their selfish desires, goals, and ambitions ahead of their infant son's, and for what...recognition and renown as an intergalactic green space cop! Toxic parents need to STOP living their lives VICARIOUSLY through their CHILDREN!!! What about John's desires, wishes, and goals....Not a single cared for or asked him what HE WANTED TO BE!!!! Quite Disgusting, Sad, and Pathetic!!! Remember John Sr REJECTED the Green Lantern Ring because of his FEAR to protect his family and losing them, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND!!!! John Jr did not EVEN have a CHILDHOOD, he was CONDITIONED AND GROOMED for his role as GREEN LANTERN!!!
>>222895065I imagine that level of visualization is just necessary for anyone to use the rings effectively.
>>222895161Just don't ask Gardner if he knows how to draw, or anything about art. Or anything at all.
>>222895151Both.
>>222894023So the entier Hal Jordan/Abin-Sur origin story isn't a thing now!!
>>222895151Yes
>>222894758If that's all it took to set him off, he was defective.
>>222895214No. Hal talks about Abin-Sur in the first episode.
>>222894495Face fucking material.
>>222895316Elaborate.
>ring rejects nigga>nigga chimps outhuh james gunn? this is problematic.
>>222895023Mark strong as.sinestro was.the cool af! Kilowog and the training was.badass!
This episode killed my Normie friend’s interest in the show
>>222895337Taylor Hill throat gaggers.
>>222894252The mother convinced them that John's father was judged unfairly because they didn't take into account his race.
>>222895381You friend is more a melty butthurt chud than you are, anon. Shameful.
>>222894045>Niggers accusing space aliens of racism because they're afraid of being grabbed out of bed by aliens>Niggers blaming their fear of alien abduction on racism>Niggers abusing their son as the solutionIt's actually such an accurate portrayal of the irrationality of niggers, the victim mentality and the way they harm each other... it's got to be an accident.
>>222895481Kek this.Bodied that freak.
I don’t think you’re a chud for not liking a superhero show grinding to a halt to talk about racial politics for an hour. Despite John Stewart’s comic origins I imagine black people are sick of being by pawns of race baiting at this point.
>>222895014Hal is already dead before John gets the ring. Even in 2026 John still hasn't gotten the ring and the ring hasn't chosen him despite Hal's death.
>>222894971kek
>>222895549It wasn't the usual racial politics lesson either. I'm sure black people on Twitter are going "yo, the fuck did they do that for? Oh man, that's some cold shit, son. That ain't no way of raising your damn kid, homie. Them niggas fucked up, man. Little homie is all scrambled in tha head."100%.
>>222895549It's not like the parents were shown to be justified in treating their child like a human experiment lol get a grip
>>222895133Watch. The white office lady who presents herself as a guardian will be the manhunter they are looking for who is using John Stewart to kill the Green Lantern because the Green Lanterns genocided the manhunters.
>>222894023This episode sucked, man. I’m pretty disappointed. It’s crazy how hard the actor playing Hal Jordan is carrying this show. Without his charisma, today’s episode was pretty exhausting to watch. The aliens and the mom’s acting were noticeably mediocre too.
>>222895662But they were. John grew up to be a Green Lantern.
This episode hit home since I was also raised by parents "living vicariously" through me, they put a lot of emphasis on my education, the way I go about life, the way I communicate, etcI grew up to become what they wanted me to become and, in turn, I became a social outcast, a very smart one but I'm sure they are happy about that I didn't have a normal childhood, I wish I didThis episode was horrible, I want to disconnect from real life when I'm watching superhero stuff, not go back to being a kid
>>222895726It is very telling the green lanterns don't have trainees from their sectors as if they have been infiltrated by the last manhunter and Hal doesn't like keeping in touch with the Guardians so the manhunter could have slipped into their communication stream to pretend to be a Guardian and present John as this replacement posing as a backup. Also John follows orders to the letter without question so he could easily be subverted by an impostor.
>>222895847Go back
fuckin cracka ass honkey ring passin over a brotha for a white boi
>>222895900I want to punch my wall, dude, this ain't funnySick and tired of this bullshit
>>222895811And yet you ended up on 4chan. You failed in every single metric as a human being.>>222895916You can't do anything about it. It's rich evil Jews who rule the world and control/make all the media. You are absolutely powerless. American whites, or shabbos goyim more like, doomed the entire world back in WW2.
>>222895828The true purpose of using John Stewart might not be retribution but to install him as a green lantern so the manhunter can continue his purpose and carry out his programming. Notice that bit where the Guardian could not tell the difference between programming and being raised. He is definitely a synthetic manhunter posing as a Guardian and John will follow any order as if he is synthetic so the perfect tool for a manhunter's prime directive.
This episode just made me miss Hal and the sheriff desu
Was the guy leaving the Guardian's office when Stewart arrived supposed to be Kyle Rayner?
Why do subhuman love kikeslop so much?
>>222895964It's not up to them. There is no why. Goyim are goyim.
>Sinestro wars set up>Explains why Guardians are scared of Hal>Explains John's talent at creating intricate constructsI'm guessing fatmuricans are extremely butthurt but this was a stellar 10/10 episode. Writing was honestly great. 2 seething negroes abusing their own children to get revenge on a dude that doesnt even know they exist. Really great origin story mixed in with Hal shenanigans.
>>222894556>suburbianot defending all the retarded shit but I am sure he lived on base not some suburb
>>222895947>and the sheriff According to some anon, prime face fucking material.
>>222895987>Sinestro wars set upYeah all setup and no payoff because HBO does not have enough money to adapt that story.
>>222895959Good eye.
Why don't the Guardians just take the ring back if they don't want him to have it anymore? Send like 10 Lanterns to kick his ass if he doesn't surrender it.
>>222896013They honestly dont need to imo. Some backdrop lore is better than showing everything. Like playing a fantasy rpg.
>>222895987>Sinestro wars set upQRD?
>>222895987>>Sinestro wars set upAre you referring to the fat old guy with bad makeup?>>Explains why Guardians are scared of HalWhich is incredibly stupid as fucking stupid as the suit since the Guardians don't have emotions; even in the comics, the only time they really showed distrust toward Hal Jordan was because he killed a fucking Guardian.>>Explains John's talent at creating intricate constructsThat’s not how a fucking ring works.Do you make money talking up this shit or do you just love swallowing shit, cringe faggot?
>>222896025That's what's raising the suspicion that maybe she's not a guardian at all. OTOH Guy says in some other scene released in the promo material that "they will send an army to take you down". We don't know if he's saying that to Hal, but if he is, you are exactly right that this could happen if Hal doesn't give up the ring, or at least a possibility.
The mom's a fucking psycho, even more than the dad lmao.
>>222895987>>222896033>fatmuricans>stellar 10/10 episode>they set up Sinestro Wars so it's HECKIN GOOD!>fucking moron, they can't do that on an HBO budget and won't show it>yeah but it's good anyway i want to be dropfed anyway i dont care about the setup anyway You are such a fucking goyim, man. >NOOO THE RACIAL MESSAGING IS ACTUALLY BASEDKill yourself, pathetic slave. You are genuinely the scum of the earth. The evil Jews have no power unless they control goyim like you. Genuinely deserve to die.
>>222896034Probably different than comics but basically Sinestro executes a coup to take over the central battery, kills a guardian but Hal defeats him. If i remember correctly Sinestro does this while still wearing a green ring so we might not see any yellow lanterns untill Sinestro busts out of the prison.
>>222896071He's a mindbroken idiot. He wants to ignore all the propaganda and focus on the fictional bullshit instead and will give anything a pass because he's such an infantilized goyim. He will die in obscurity, having done nothing but consooming media.
>>222896092Thank you. May very well be the case.
>>222896082God i thank you for not making me a brainbroken american.
>Jordan shows up for once scene and steals the entire episodeKino. Stewart is so boring
>>222896117You're a shit devouring subhuman.
LAWD DEM RANGS DIS EVUL CRACKA
Why would a guardian give a shit about some random family that failed the selection process? Being aloof to the little guys is kind of their thing
>>222896151He was literally raised to be boring. But if they give him his own solo movie with the planet genocide plot, i trust his actor is talented enough to give us a kino "punished hero".
>>222896117>I just accept propaganda as reality no problem I love black people and I love it when a black man cums in my mouth100% Yuropoor. At least an American has soul and can think for himself. You faggots are arrested for Facebook posts. Kill yourself. Genuinely do it. I bet your yuropoor family will be glad they have one least person to hoard the benefits.
>>222894045Still better than the shitty Superman movie all you dc cockgobblers swore was any good.
>>222896183Because they're black. People here saying the lady is a Manhunter are coping big time.
>>222896183Not some. She said ring traumatized a lot of people and she was probably apologizing to all of them.
>>222896178https://i.4cdn.org/gif/1787779669259851.mp4
>>222896191Yeah, I like his actor and the character has potential for development
>>222896183The guardian is a manhunter.
>>222896233holy mother of kek
>>222896164>>222896192Man, imagine not being able to enjoy anything because of "muh niggers". It must be a sad existence.

Show tells you that Sinestro was powerful enough to kill a Guardian and they trust Hal for tons of reasons. Emotion and logical fear are not the same thing.>That’s not how a fucking ring works.Ok you are a retard. John and Kyle's whole gimmick is them being artists.
>Black people can't cash a diamond without suspicion>But shooting every night in suburbia is fine

>>222896391All kind of blacks. Niggers ain't smart.
>>222896196Unironcally you’re right but only because Kyle Chandler can do no wrong. I don’t think they expected much out of this series but it’s not a good sign a character they set a timer on is more interesting than the bedrock of the reboot with Corenswet Superman
>>222896394>p-please please just stop pleasee!I accept your concession.

>>222896408He should have tried not to be fat and geriatric, not to speak in that idiotic tone, and to have turned down this role.
>>222894045Oh no, not the racial lecturing in my Green Lantern comics, that's unforgivable!
>>222896411>he keeps goingI've already raped and killed you over and over. Go suck black dick in hell.>>222896455You are literally a certifiably insane goyim. As a Jew, I hate goyim like you more than anything alive. I mean, I profit from you being scum but still.>>222896462Kill yourself for talking like that about Kyle Chandler, fucking scum.

Once again Laura Linney easily manages to be the best thing about something mid as fuck.
>>222896468Jesus Christ this is peak crab bucket mentality.
I'd colonize John's mom's fat ass with my aryan seed
Episode 4 previewhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkxDzRS37JEThey are definitely going for Parallax. More Chandler kino on the horizon boys.
Why can’t DC just make a fun movie like Masters of the Universe
I’d be mad jelly too if the only thing that stopped me from getting powers was being a giant pussy.
Whoever wrote the dialogue this episode should be shot.
>>222896217Aren’t the guardians famous for not giving a single fuck about the small potato issues like “ptsd”
>>222896468denny o'neil is better writer than anyone working on lanterns though
I'd assume the universe is full of species in more unfortunate situations than black people in America? Like that one guy has his entire planet wiped out or something.Why the giga ancient space guardians kowtowing for scaring the dad with basically a light show and not considering his socioeconomic status?Also the parents are psychopaths lmao.
>>222896711Idk show guardians might be more considerate. Or they might be seeing humanity as retarded monkeys so they pitied the hairless apes.
>>222896468>it happened in the comics!yeah but those comics sucked
>The parents are psychopaths Why are 70 IQ chimps repeating this talking point like the show is painting them in a good way? The point is that they’re acting that way because they’re regular people who learned of the existence of extra terrestrial beings who handpick people to be space cops.
What i dont understand is, chuds are seething over black woman going off about oppression, but isnt that realistic? Not the oppression part mind you, a black woman immediately bringing up the race issue to feel better about her misfortune?
>>222896804Chuds don't have the ability to think things through
>>222896828ironic coming from a drooling retard redditor who never had an original thought their entire life
Why was Jon specifically chosen to be trained by his parents rather than his older brothers?
>>222896711The nightly visits were a massive fuckup that left the role open for Jordan to snatch up later, Laura Linney is trying to salvage the situation by manipulating the Stewarts into grooming a replacement.
>>222896867Speedwatcher anon, the crazy mom literally explains to her husband that the other sons are too old and they need to basically brainwash John to be fearless.
>>222896867jedi logic
>>222896887They were older than Jon by a year or two at most lol. I’m also only 20 minutes into the episode, chud
this show fucking sucks
>>222896875Interesting. How do the Guardians tend to feel about Guy then? Will their feelings on him be any different in the show?
>>222896875Yeah but why would they assume their son who’s a child by that point would be someone who would grow up to be chosen by the ring? It’s not a nepotism job, the guardians/ring have to willfully pick you to begin with.
>>222896804I think the guardians probably wouldn't have apologized or shown up at all for that matter. Makes the universe seem so small.>>222896867I mean the alien lady said the baby could be a suitable successor. What I don't get is why would she even imply that as a possibility. There's one green lantern per sector no? so out of all the species in that sector, the alien is implying the baby has so much potential to beat those odds.Like Hal Jordan JUST got his ring, and the ring chooses a successor after death. how the fuck can the Guardians even imply a remote chance of this happening?
Really butchering the lore/concept here
>>222896903I dont remember seeing the brothers when John was a baby so they could be 3 or 4 years older we dont know. Also Guardian (kinda) shows interest in baby John so crazy mom focuses on him.
>>222896916….at being bad
>>222896925She explained the potential was in his genetics, man you retards need to stop shitposting while watching
>>222896924And why doesn't Hal feel that he is his replacement?
>>222896939>Could beIs doing a lot of the work there. She didn’t say he would absolutely end up a lantern, just that based on John Sr. almost having been the lantern, he could theoretically raise his kid to do it in the future, but there was no outright basis for that. It’s the same as saying you COULD survive falling from a high enough floor level in a tower.
>>222896943That I take it for granted. They almost always do that.
>>222896939>I think the guardians probably wouldn't have apologized or shown up at all for that matter. Makes the universe seem so small.Bro... Guardian literally says the rings traumatized tons of people. Guardian doesnt even understand when she goes off about oppression.
>>222896924Presumably the end of the 2016 plotline will get them to relent on the one ring for earth rule.>>222896925John has spent his whole life training for the ring, and the guardian outright asks him if he would still accept the ring if *something* were to happen to Jordan.
>>222896956The genetics of being born to a guy who panicked & shit himself when he was given the test? The writing contradicts what is shown
>>222896980Guy probably gets the rings after Hal dies. Real question is why did the ring pass John?
>>222897016Guardian was impressed with the mother's composure.Media literacy is fucking dead...
>>222896925They have it in their head that John could be groomed into it if they try hard enough & they’re also mindraped by having been tested by the ring in the first place, also the father is clearly ashamed he failed the test, he’s trying to compensate by having his son succeed in his role
>>222896956>>222896987cont. of this. >>222896939Like genetics is even more retarded. The Gaurdian says that John might be a good successor based on... genetics... by looking at the mom once. Like what?So out of all the species in the sector, this fucking baby needs to have Hal Jordan die within the galaxy sector full of aliens, beat the adult population of earth, and be raised into an adult to maybe have a chance of being considered.Like what on gods mind make the Guardian imply John had a remote chance of being selected. Like it's just a straight up lie at this point. no?
>>222897024guy seems like hes had the ring for at least a little while in Superman which is set in 2025 though
>>222897016Maybe she was impressed by the sassy black lady and thought she could make the boy into a real man, yeah it doesn't make the most sense. But I'm guessing since they already had Hal Jordan they could afford to wait some years and see the kid grow up
>>222897052Basically what >>222897046said. They’re buckbroken & in the father’s case regretful that they’ll listen to any shred of advice given to them about obtaining the ring.
>Guardians when I give the Rothschilds an orange lanternNow what do they do?
>>222897007>Guardian literally says the rings traumatized tons of peopleWhy would these guys ever care in a universe full of more awful things happening? One dude has his entire planet wiped off by manhunters or something and some galactic backwater humans getting spooked by a lightshow is enough to bring the Administrative force of the universe to come down and apologize?
>>222897125Because it's not one of the administrators. It's a cringe larper. See through the illusion, anon.
>>222897122Sit back and wait for Larfleeze to kill them so he can get his rings back.
>>222896939>>222897052Well, first off, I wouldn't discount it as a red hearing but I doubt the show will be that smart with it. But, the ring does choose their candidates based on certain abilities, conducts and other psychological traits. The fact that the ring already choose his father indicates that there's strengths in him and maybe his direct decency if followed a correct pact, of which the Guardians directly interfered in the case Hal was either killed or they had a way to get him out of line. Basically, the Guardians sold a pretty heavy lie to the mother, who took it as an oath, and thus created the perfect ring holder. Now, they only need the ring from Hal.
>Fucks over John's childhood and family>Fucks over John's career and honour>Fucks over John's celebration with his familyWhat a chad
A lot of this training seems counterproductive. Like it would disqualify John rather than prepare him.
>>222896711They arent involved in choosing lanterns at all, the rings do it automatically. Rewriting all the lore to be they care about this one single negro for reasons is some shit only a jew could come up with because jews are obsessed with black dicks for some reason
>>222894151>I was promised a true detective like showyou believed that shit?
>>222897163I mean, pretty self explained that they didn't approach him until he had the willpower to peruse his dream, art. You gotta realize, their parents were mislead by the idea that their child needed to be fearless, and ignored the willpower to hold the ring.
>>222897163His military training actually made him a "just follow the orders yes man" which Guardians like. But his ring powers is actually his inner talent of arts and architecture.
>>222897160Hal defeated Sinestro, though. That is quite the feat. Sinestro is, at least in the comics, one of the greatest Green Lanterns ever. It's very weird that the Guardians would try to replace Hal unless they sensed some threat like Parallax was getting ahold of him. IIRC Parallax is an entity that for some time lived inside the Central Power Battery in Oa.
>>222897160>I doubt the show will be that smart with it.i wish they would cuz it would be interesting, but yea it doesn't makes sense now.There was no reason to sell the lie to her at that point. Hal Jordan just got the ring and they weren't looking for replacements I assume. It's kinda cruel for them to imply that this kid has a remote chance to be groomed into his entire life.
Is the guardian they meet in this episode the one that starts up the blue lantern corps? Seems like she has a soft heart compared to the other guardians
>>222897060Hal dies in 2026 though, so is there 2 rings running about?
>>222896364>Wtf are you even saying? Show tells you that Sinestro was powerful enough to kill a Guardian and they trust Hal for tons of reasons. Emotion and logical fear are not the same thing.The ring can't kill Guardians there's a whole fucking story arc in the comics explaining it.>Ok you are a retard. John and Kyle's whole gimmick is them being artists.The ring relies on willpower, the greater the willpower the fewer limits the ring owner faces. John can create constructs with detailed interiors because he is an architect, but that does not mean his willpower is superior, you would know this would not even give you a shit for John.You’re less than excrement. You have the nerve to post an image from a comic you never read written by Geoff Johns while acting like a fucking shill defending some fat old guy in bad makeup playing Sinestro, and applauding the idea of a ring killing a Guardian or Guardians having emotions. Not knowing a damn thing about Green Lantern or at the very least having read Geoff's run on Green Lantern should make you consider putting a bullet between your eyes. Do the kikes even pay you to promote this shit?
>>222897204They pretty much say that Hal was interfering too much with earthly business, and considering how he was going on interviews, going around meeting famous people, and so on, they were probably careful with him. Not to mention that they approach the Stewart at least when he was still really early in his career.
>>222897239Later we may see them, if it's really the guardians, pulling that trick everywhere.It could be the case that the manhunter is scheming with Sinestro, or was scheming back then to create a new Lantern Corps, and they would eventually need recruits.
>>222896828Yes, the jewish writer fresh of turning Watchmen into a racial baiting show is this time on your side and is actually making fun of hysterical race baiters I am very smart
Am I supposed to believe this nigga John can visualize the inner workings of a Watch right off the spot? Like why would he ever memorize that.
>>222894045Why the fuck didn’t they go all in and have John’s father bounced out of the Marines on a section 8? I’m assuming at the time when Hal was picked, aliens weren’t common knowledge. All they had to do was have him kicked on the grounds that he was “crazy”(and to maintain plausible deniability for the shadowy government departments in the know about aliens/metahumans/etc.). That frees them up to have them living somewhere remote where you can do crazy-ass shit to your kids without fear of someone calling the cops.
>>222897276>The ring can't kill Guardians there's a whole fucking story arc in the comics explaining it.I dont even know if this is true or you pulled it out of your ass but it doesnt matter. In the show canon, Sinestro did somehow killed a guardian and Guardians now dont trust Hal. There is no contradictions with anything they established so far.Now seethe about yellow not making them lose their power or some other shit no one cares.
>>222896468>>a single comic from a 7 issue arc of Green Lantern v2 define everything about Green Lantern, trust me, I'm a professional cock sucker.Are you going to keep posting the same shitty page over and over again, faggot? For the record, Oliver is actually a liberal, while Hal Jordan is more conservative, canonically speaking.
>>222897333>I’m assuming at the time when Hal was picked, aliens weren’t common knowledge.We literally see Hal in a mask and news speaker explaining Green Lantern lore on fucking live TV. They know about aliens.
>>222897318There are people who legitimately can though. Assembling watches is kind of a thing. Don't remember if John's psycho parents forced him to learn that.
