I get why the town hates him, but what was he charged with to be in prison for 10 years?
>>223434241Wait, you’re actually watching this slop?!Kek
>>223434255Not everyone has their "holy shit I could be literally watching something good right now" moment at the same time faggotron. OP will get there eventually, he just needs to watch another 5-10 years of total shit first.
Didnt hal have a whole city that loved him?
>>223434241the fuck happened to gary?
>>223434293Nah. It's watching utter shit that turns you into shit. And you don't go I could be watching something else, because you can't. Once you are shit all that is available to you is shit.
>>223434241Being a straight white male
>>223434293>I could be literally watching something good right nowLike what kek. Literally everything that's come out in the last 30 years has been dogshit goyslop. And everything before that they've probably rewatched a thousand times.
>>223434334So if I like this but also like something you like then that means what you like is shit?
>>223434342Must've had a good lawyer.
Legally speaking, Hal Jordan caused the deaths, the Manhunter was just defending itself by shooting space lasers at the town
>>223434356stfu retard
>>223434241In your defense I don’t think the writers know either
>>223434293>I could be literally watching something good right nowname one
>Super hero fails to save a town (because the "good guy" started punching him and stole his ring)>this means he goes to prisonYeah, I have no idea what's going on in the plot of this show.It's like they decided on a bunch of plot beats first, and then hardly bothered to write in the in-between parts.
>>223434310The cat must have passed away.
>>223434241Someone needed to take a fall for all of the deaths especially the assassination of grandma pajeeta by her nigger lover.
>>223434695why?
One would assume he has some legal obligation to report things. The Guardians certainly have some sort of policy with the US government and other counties. He went rogue and didn't bother to tell fucking any of his superiors what was going on. This lead to a shit storm that caused the deaths of many people and the destruction of a small town.
Da alien was starting to go to church n shieet before Hal Jordan's racist ass pulled up
>>223434700You have a bunch of dead humans. Some of them really are human and others as explained earlier Earthican tech can't tell they aren't human. Remember Hal told the nigger marine assassin green lanterns don't kill. This is why. You kill and they'll want revenge/justice. You have an entire town you took their golden goose away and it is time to point fingers they'll side against the lanterns to get their pound of flesh closest to the heart. There is no grandma pajeeta to hold accountable so all there is left is the man with the ring.
>>223434793who cares though? Just tell the truth and testify about the alien cult.
>>223434763Like imagine some marine going rogue because he found out Osama Bin Laden was hiding in some midwest town. Instead of just telling somebody in your chain of command you just lay siege to him which causes him to allahu akbar half the town causing the death of even innocent children.
>>223434310that seems a nice show desu
>>223434908isn't his job to handle issues with aliens on Earth though?I mean, it's his planet, and the Guardians themselves admit they don't really understand what goes on on Earth. They defer to him.
>>223434255fpbp>>223434293watch yo privilege yt boi - John Stewart upon reading your post
>>223434356Older things, I just today saw a stage show of Oedipus the king, it was great.
>dude we’re aliens but we all disguise ourselves as normal people. So does our fearsome robot enemy, she just looks like a granny. Also we have all kinds of superior technology but mostly we just trigger a long loud countdown and then blow ourselves upthis show is so fucking stupid
>>223434922Yeah but do you think the US government is going to just let somebody like that run around without an agreement? He was probably sworn in to some position.
>>223434930>We can blow up the whole town with one dude>Every time they explode unimpeded it's just 50lbs of dynamite, if that
>>223434904There is no evidence. Again all of the aliens appear human. He seems to want to protect John as well despite what a little bitch he has been. He protected him from the satellite laser blast with the ring. He could have used the ring to fight John and put him in his place like he should have but didn't. He covered for John when blame for grandma poojeeta's assassination was being doled out. Maybe it is because Hal is just a good guy and John is only a creep. Hal has an overdeveloped sense of responsibility lacking in everyone around him.
>>223434989>He could have used the ring to fight John and put him in his place like he should have but didn'tYou mean like when he intentionally had John get stuck inside the car that crashed and then John basically ended up having third degree burns all over his body because Hal didn’t stop to think that maybe the leaking gas might catch fire? Because all Hal was thinking about was making sure he could keep the ring purely for selfish reasons.
>>223435254No ? He crashed the car because John was lying about the manhunter's identity, same manhunter he had sex with
>>223434241so many of this show's problems stem from its shithouse budget and butchery of the source materialdepending on which generation of stories you read, a green lantern ring is theoretically limitless in what it can do. how many times have we seen them actually use the ring?you're right though OP, him going to jail for 10 years makes absolutely no sense, if he was charged for manslaughter or even murder, depending on what the townspeople would have said, it would be much more.
>>223434241reckless endangerment
>>223435881He crashes the car, leaves John to almost burn to death. What a hero!
>>223434241>people somehow still do not know Batman's name in the DCU despite him being Batman for like 10+ years supposedlyGlad we're focusing on Rick Flag Sr instead of DC's flagship character
>>223434293>just watch the terrible dogshit >just settle for mediocrity it's fineLmao'ing at your life
>>223436077John is a villain
>>223436322lrn2rdd
This show is kino and I hate you all
This show is shit and I love you all
>>223434908he is a cop you fucking retard, It is his job to apprehend the "bin laden." Tell who exactly? The Gurdians knew it was there
>>223434669>>223434241>>223434763Hal went to prison because after identifying the Manhunter he was trying to capture and take her to the Guardians instead of just doing kill on sight or letting the alien suicide bombers do it for him. that led to far more civilians being killed than necessary. he placed trying to stay a GL over the spirit of his job. maybe the show should have had a character turn to the camera and say that, but I had no trouble picking up on it.
>>223437157>>223437231this show is alright and I tolerate both you dipshits
>>223434989>He could have used the ring to fight John and put him in his place like he should have but didn'tHe didn't because if he used the ring to attack john the guardians would have thrown his ass in space prison with sinestro. Do you people even think for a second.
>>223437288He wasn't in the guardian's space prison he was in a federal prison.
>>223437625why would they do that? you don't get the rings do you? there is a reason they never took the ring away, its almost no wait it is sacred, the ring choose him, they can't take it away they can't just bench him that not how it works. Disputing a rings choice is sacrilege
so the guardian is working with sinestro this is very obvious at this point right?
>>223434255fpbp
>>223434255This. I tried to watch some but the dialogue and acting is so fucking back it physically made me sick
>>223434241for failing to protect the innocent
>>223437746you are an idiot
>>223437288The irony here is you are a total moron while acting like you are a giga brain. It isnt particularly unique, but always a wonder to behold none the less. He saved lves by stopping the sucide bombers imbecile. I bet youays think you dont have problems "figruing things out" and can never seem to figure out wehy everything you touch is always completely fucked up and retarded
>>223434241You're thinking about this way harder than the hacks writing it.
>>223437798>I bet youays think you dont have problems "figruing things out"
>>223437746you frequently write "we're so fucking back" on your phone, huh?
It's funny how really stupid people in this thread think making fanciful accusations based on judegement calls they invent in their heads and have zero relsization that people dont get thrown in prison based on a group of people getting together after the fact and discussing whether a situation played out perfectly or not. You go to prison for BREAKING LAWS and being convicted of breaking those laws. Not because you ge armchair quaterbacked by a bunch of mouth breathers saying aKsHuAlLY
>>223434301Coast city, aliens civilizations-of-the-week that he saved, green lanterns he recruited and/or saved, super hero pals... the list goes on and on. The official excuse that his FUNeral sucked is that his death hasn't been announced to the public. the green lanterns and other capes would know, but It seems canon he has no friends.
>>223437625And who was going to put Hal in prison? Hal was the one who imprisoned Sinestro. That's why the guardians feared him. Hal was their mightiest and handled all of the tough jobs they couldn't handle. It was the old dilemma of the king only feared the executioner who was Hal. He wasn't worried about the guardians. He knew not to trust them though which John on the slow bus eventually figured out.
more like Oa my balls lmao
>>223438032>who was going to put Hal in prisonThe lanterns gang up on rogue lanterns. Thats why rogue lanterns in turn gang up. Secondly Hal doesn't want to become an intergalactic criminal. He wants the guardians approval to keep his job.
>>223437670t. Sinestro
>>223437798>He saved lves by stopping the sucide bombers imbecileIf that was the best option no one would be complaining. Manhunter killed more people than the bombers would have if he just left it to them.
>>223434241being a straight white male
>>223434310>having tomorrow's newspaperbut those are literally the news of the day before it gets published?
>>223437288he actually led the suicide bombers away from the town, and straight to the manhunter ranch. Had they stuck around town they would've left a huge crater within it
>>223438367>The lanterns gang up on rogue lanterns. Thats why rogue lanterns in turn gang up.That's the comics. In the tv series Hal solo'd Sinestro and he has no friends. Lanterns seem to be independent contractors.>Secondly Hal doesn't want to become an intergalactic criminal. He wants the guardians approval to keep his job.He doesn't want their approval. He wants their submission so he doesn't get bogged down in their interference in his duty to protect his sector. Remember he keeps them out of the loop purposefully and when he succeeds which he was about to if it wasn't for Guardian interference, John, he wanted them to kiss his ring.
well for one he did try to murder the black guy. probably broke some other laws too. i don't know which would count. 10 years sounds a bit low. maybe he got out with good behavior
>>223434334>Nah. It's watching utter shit that turns you into shit.So that's what happened with you?
>>223438415It was the best option, which is why did it moron. They were gonnanuke the entire town.>b-b-but there werent zero casualties!There never are you fucking idiot, that doesnt mean they just cirminals/terrorists go. stfu
>>223438550>well for one he did try to murder the black guyhow so?
>>223438550He tried to sideline John because it was the only way to get John out of the way so he didn't keep tripping over him and could do his job. He told Sinestro he wasn't going to kill John and he told John while he was trapped lanterns don't kill which John as a professional assassin couldn't grasp.
>>223438606>It was the best optionBest option was sniping manhunter like john did. Trying to take the manhunter alive is why so many people died.
>>223438607he crashed the car on purpose and left john to burn there to the death. but the alien saved him and used magic tech to make him real again
>>223434241Wait he's also an excon? Lmao
>>223438723if you tell a court of law that John burned to near death, all while he's lacking any bruise or scarring, they're all gonna laugh at you.
>>223434310This looks really comfy, is it good?
How many of you are actually watching the show and are actually sincerely confused and how many of you are shit posting based on a youtuber making fun of the show? Please be honest.
This shit started out great in the first episode and I keep watching because my inner child wants it to get better, but it's intentionally trying to be goy slop
>>223438849>You can't proved I left you to burn to deathHal isn't some fucking comic book villain. He wants to be a hero.
>>223438625He "sidelined" stewart because he didn't want to be replaced, lol.
>>223438969What was your favorite white humiliation scene?
>>223434241I didn't understand this either, or John's moral grandstanding about the entire thing. Everyone was saying that this manhunter was one of the most dangerous beings in existence, capable of destroying entire civilizations, which she didn't even deny. And John wanted to just let her walk because she threw a couple pandering platitudes and blowjobs his way. It got extremely messy but ultimately the job got done, and even if Hal had to be the fall guy since he got his ring taken by John, how in any way was this an earth court issue? shouldn't he have been in green lantern prison or something for breaching lantern code or some shit?
>>223439011>John wanted to just let her walkWhy are you making up details. Im guessing you haven't actually watched the show.
>>223439055Okay, what was John's plan then? he tried to lie to Hal about her identity so he would go after the wrong guy. he clearly didn't want to kill her since he even hesitated to shoot her after she starting orbital lasering the entire fucking town, and if he just wanted her put in space jail he would have gone along with Hal's plan. It seemed like he was going to try to either convince her to leave or just frame William as the manhunter and let the whole thing slide. both would essentially be letting her slide. Unless you are saying he was planning to kill her the entire time and he just wanted to fuck her a couple more times?
>>223434241just turn your brain off or don't watch, the show doesn't make any sense
>>223437927You understand the show made it clear that nobody knows Hal is dead right? Like they purposely went out of their way to make sure nobody knows yet because of Noah's college football thing and not wanting it to get overshadowed by the press and all the commotion coming into town over Hal's death
>>223438998In the overall picture he didn't want to be replaced but in the moment it was about the job and getting those blue bastards to show some respect which Hal had earned.
>>223434928Based
>>223439486You are retarded and didn't watch the show. John is obviously conflicted between telling hal, the guardians, aliens, or trying to deal with it himself. He has been juggling between them every episode which you would know if you stopped getting your information for a yt vid.
these are not hal jordan or john stewart but in name only
>>223437856Not true, just look at Derek Chauvin
>>223434241hes a fucking white male
>>223437856Thats the thing. Citizens are not allowed to make judgment calls like this. You are not allowed to do things that endanger others to solve your own conflicts and if something happens while you try to solve something yourself then you are liable for it. Cops have immunity granted by the government. The guardians would have basically needed to tell the judicial system that Hal was operating within their rules which obviously wasnt the case because they decommissioned his ring.
>>223434241Do the Guardians have extradition agreements with Earth’s governments? Like, as far as Earth was concerned, had the Manhunters broken any laws, that is, before it started going scorched earth with orbital laser platforms?
>>223440172Yeah the show is its own thing. They have diminished the heroes into being nothing more than power fixated petulant children. This is what one can expect from Gen X. It is nihilism slop. The heroes aren't heroic. The villains aren't evil. Authority is always self-serving. etc. The purpose is to social engineer and subvert.
>>223440444Hal isn’t just a citizen, though. He *is* a cop - a space cop, and the governments know that he is. The bulk of the town are breaking “space law” by harboring a fugitive.
>>223440489From the first argument between Hal and the cop Aliens are his jurisdiction.
>>223434310this doesn't have a bluray release? wtf WTF?
>>223440671Yes and like I said the guardians would need to vouch for him and his actions. The same way it works for cops. And yes if a cops actions are deemed excessively reckless then they are not protected either.
>>223434241Attempted murderHal tried to kill John by leaving him to die in a car crash he himself caused
>>223434908This just makes the show sound completely nonsensical. Which it is
>>223437231Thanks anon>>223438328kek
incels crashing out hard lol
>>223434241>but what was he charged with to be in prison for 10 years?It's a Lindeloff show, so this will likely never be answered, but I imagine given the short length (compared to the potential crimes) it was likely criminal negligence resulting in death/property damage, which can new a decade long stay in a federal prison.
>>223434241They spell it out, attentionlet, he took the fall for Rushville. 'cause who tf is gonna believe him about the alien shit when there's no evidence? Aantan and his goons all blew themselves and the Manhunter's crystal heart was carved out and handed over to the Guardians. Not to mention Hal was already arrested once in Rushville and the town hated his ass- they threw the book at him.
>>223441370what's an incel and why are they falling asleep?
>>223441444>They spell it outyeah, cause it's a show for retards. you watch a show for retards.
>>223441462If you're OP, I'm glad you acknowledge being a retard. If you're not OP, your general seething at nothing pleases me, and I look forward to being further entertained by your chimpout.
This seems like less of a scripted show telling a story, and more like typical social media ragebait made into a tv format.The whole show is nothing but nonstop>This guy sucks>This guy is an asshole>I hate him, you should hate him too>Childhood trauma, hate these parents!>Every line of dialog is some side character venting how much they hate the main character and how much of a piece of shit he is>Organized racism!>another speech about racism in America>People fucking up and screwing their loves up as a result>People who's lives were always shit and it only got worse>There is no such thing as a hero, fuck youI don't get why this show wants me to hate it so badly. I don't think I have seem something try really really extra super hard to make me hate the main character and display how he has no redeeming qualities then dies. The hero is dead and everyone loves that, the villain is dead and everyone hates that, the remaining characters are pieces of shit that lie and cheat nonstop.The only message I am getting is Fuck this character, fuck this franchise, and fuck you for watching it
>>223438702You do realize MURDER is a crime on Earth AND in the Green Lantern corp right (Hal even says this in the fucking show)? Of course you dont because you are all idiots on this board
>>223434241not using his ring power to save george floyd
>>223440715No one "vocuhes" for cops you stone cold moron. The uniform and ring means they are "vocuhed" for just the way cops have immunity. Goddamn you motherfuckers are stupid.
>>223441608You mean quite literally trying to kill George Floyd with his little car stunt. Seems like everyone here skipped over that scene. Plus he handled the Manhunter situation pretty recklessly after the Sherrif warned him to cool it down again and again, causing unnecessary loss of life. So really attempted murder and criminal negligence. That's 10 years in the can easy.
>>223441601>MURDER is a crimeMurder is only a crime if it isn't justifiable force. Maybe the law is different in your shit hole country.
>>223441644Cops have immunity as long as the high ups vouch for their actions. >We have reviewed ourselves and found we did nothing wrongIf you don't get that you get fucked and go to jail. You would know that if you weren't an idiot or a jeet. But even jeets know about Floyd.
>>223434241So did nobody call out the nigger abusing his kid in the first 5 minutes? I think people’s minds are gone.
>>223434241This guy needs to fire his agent.
>>223434241He did a racism chud.
>>223434536Goin' Down to South Park
>>223437266The US government because it is on their land and involves their citizens you absolute fucking idiot. You know, the people who arrested him?
>>223438885yea, it's nice
>>223442133You good mate?
>>223437288>the show establishes that Hal is a superpowered space cop tasked with protecting earth, as well as other planets in his sector>show also paints Hal as "tired of this shit". He's constantly cynical, snarky, and basically gives off the impression that he no longer wants to be the GL>but then it contradicts itself by showing that Hal wants to stay the GL and keep the powers>show clearly sets it up that this town is in the USA and thus under protection of the US gov, the military, yet they are not at all active when there are self-imploding aliens and space lasers involved, not even the FBI visits. it's all supposed to be handled by the local sherrif or whatever, and she doesn't even want Hal's help>the chaos is all blamed on Hal beacuse he didn't call in for backup or whatever was the stupid reasoning. if that's the case then these space cops should have at least a partner and some system to constantly stay connected to a network, like how actual cops wear radios on their shoulder and have it in their car. even fuckin security guards are wired with radios and have to report what they see. Hal is thus a superhero who also has to know when he's outmatched and needs backup, and when he doesn't call for help from the GL corps or US military, it's his fault.>on top of his job he also has to train some mortal dude who doesn't have a ring, meaning he's in mortal danger and Hal has to also protect him while trying to save this town.bad writing, by a jew hack retard, stupid story. regret wasting time on it (i only read summaries and saw clips, didn't watch the actual slow-burn gritty show that's a wannabe yellowstone but with super powers)
>>223442990>despite wanting to stay the GL, Hal doesn't bother to keep his ring charged, the very ring that gives him powers of flight and helps him defend himself>when he does need to charge the ring, the lantern is miles away and has to be retrieved in a safe. The safe opens easily by playing the voice live, but playing a recording does not work later.>the hologram that was recorded years in the past somehow knows there is trouble in the small town...is this even explained? no, who caresgoyslop trash to waste time and distract. the jews know most goyim are so mind-broken they'll watch anything. if they don't watch this, they'll watch something else that's just as sloppy. it's all slop. not a single good show, movie or book out there. we live in a jew controlled hellscape. only way out is getting or being rich. i give up.
>>223443058>the hologram that was recorded years in the past somehow knows there is trouble in the small town...is this even explained? no, who caresIt can be pretty much handwaved with the idea of willpower. Hal's will lingered in the ring. Though I don't recall him particularly automatically knowing what was going on and he was filled in on it. There was a point where Hal specifically had him split off and go invertigste things but that's pretty much it.
>>223443058Hal is such a badass anti-hero he doesn't even bother to charge his ring.
I feel like reading all these poorly-informed negative opinions are pushing me to play Devil's Advocate for a frankly "OK" tv show. Like, I'd give it maybe a 7/10, and it's not at all something I'd go out of my way to defend, but the "reviews" here are so terrible it's making me think about it.Why, /tv/? Why do you have to be so stupid?
>>223443058>>the hologram that was recorded years in the past somehow knows there is trouble in the small town...is this even explained? no, who caresThis is explained in the first fucking episode. I hate you faggots. There is nothing better than to shred slop for something it ACTUALLY does, but making shit up to tear it down is a pussy move from performative cocksuckers.
>>223443180i believe the hologram shows up while John is walking and has the ring. the hologram of younger Hal says "it's hailing in rushville" a coded message. John repeats this to the older real Hal of 2016 at the time, and real Hal takes off immediately. so a backed up version of hal's mind, stored in the ring, that wasn't updated for years, knows that something is going on in the present day, and it sets off the main events of the conflict. how? yes it is handwaved. it's just fictional BS and we're supposed to turn off our brains because WOW it's HBO! and it's by the co-creator of LOST! WOW! oh, it's Green Lantern, I recognize that, it's a famous comic book character! WOW!!!!
>>223443236what's the explanation then, faggot?
>>223443264Fuck you. Watch the bar scene from Episode 1 when he was explaining to Saint Floyd how he got the ring from Abin Sur.
>>223442990>he didn't call in for backup or whatever was the stupid reasoning. if that's the case then these space cops should have at least a partner and some system to constantly stay connected to a network, like how actual cops wear radios on their shoulder and have it in their car.In the comics the Green Lanterns are more like texas rangers (one riot, one ranger). Also each one has a massive sector of space they patrol. Earth has always been fucky because obviously its central to the plot, so it has a ludicrous number of lanterns. otherwise they're pretty much given hundreds of millions of light years they're meant to police. They green lanterns are all connected by their rings to the central battery on Oa, but the Guardians (the little blue dudes) are notoriously aloof, and if the lanterns are called together its usually srs bsns like anti-monitors and new powers of the spectrum emerging, and like as not, usually the guardians are the ones behind it, like the manhunters. I haven't watched the show. Also the lantern's battery was like spider-man's web fluid. Its only reason to exist is to create drama and tension because "I'm almost out of web fluid/my battery is only at 10%" and the hero has to be clever and resourceful and show that they aren't a hero because they have powers, they have powers because they're heroes.
>>223443250Ah. Well it was clear Hal had been weary of Rushville and he probably just had the hologram monitor the situation. Hal didn't trust John (or anyone) so the hologram didn't either and used a coded message that John wouldn't understand.
>>223443343And for all we know the hologram was just jerking off in front of a computer looking at news in Rushville while shitposting about Aquaman fucking dolphins.
>>223438987The courts can't lock him up for something they can't prove. Hal can apologize, but he can't be charged for it. I can blame myself for killing JFK and ask for forgiveness to his descendants, I can not be charged with JFK's murder
>>223443424>>223443343eh, fans of the show or comics will claim i'm stupid. but clearly the ring somehow "knows" what's going on in another city far away. and if the previous GL who crashed in rushville let a manhunter loose, that still leaves a massive plothole, in that the event should've been known to the guardians. it would then be their job to send more GLs to try and recover the manhunter, and to keep searching in that area for years. instead it's just handwaved away and left for Hal to manage. it's now his problem and if he fucks up he goes to prison.bad writing, not tight. loose. looser than Chris Mundy's wife's pussy.
>>223442705>The US government because it is on their land and involves their citizens you absolute fucking idiotHey insult spewing, projecting moron. In the very first episode (or 2nd) he literally talks to the sheriff about a jurisidction dispute saying IF it was aliens it was HIS jurisdiction and she KNEW it. So it was obviously well established protocl by that point if even yocal sheriffs out in the boonies knew alien acitivity was GL corps jurisdiction. Just because you are too stupid to pick on what the dialogue is actually telling you doesnt mean every one else is
>>223443482>The courts can't lock him up for something they can't proveThats not how it works. They don't need to objectively prove it. They only need to make a jury believe it is true. And if the jury really doesn't like you it doesn't matter because they can find you guilty either way.
>>223443482>Bro you promised to keep us up to date on what you are doing in our country and now dozens of people are dead>Also the blue dudes are pretty pissed you went to visit the red dude who is going to be using yellow in the future>Whoopsie!
Unsurprising but I think gunn and safran don't have anyone to blame but themselves. Who the fuck opens a cinematic universe on a slate with 4 streaming series and a low budget horror, especially since Supergirl flopped and Superman only barely met expectations. Where's the money coming from?
>>223443534>In the very first episode (or 2nd)Actually now that I think about it, the entire first two epsiodes are about Hal establishing jurisidction to take over the investigation. That is the entire plot for two whole fucking epsidoes JFC you are a moron
>>223443534I called him an idiot because he called me a retard. Also Green Lantern Corps does not overwrite the the US or world law. The Green Lanterns exist to let worlds have sovereignty.
lanterns monday lets fucking go!
I didn't like green mandemI really hate how every piece of recent media is extremely cynical, demoralizing and dark.I hate the "old predecessor is actually a demoralized lonely buffoon, but the new one which always happen to be a minority are measured, smart and much better"I'm not even white and I just cringe at this shit, because I know there's some self hating liberal dilating to this shit
>>223434310>>223434915>>223438885Great show. I wish TV could still be this comfy
>>223443639>every piece of recent media is extremely cynical, demoralizing and dark.Works of fiction often mirror the reality of the time period
>>223443639just watch any scene on yt and see how depressing and stressful the dialogue is. every character basically hates whoever they're talking to. i'm a fairly cynical, depressed guy myself, and even this show is too much for me. it' tries too hard to be edgy.
>>223443581Yeah a fucking deputy has jurisdiction too but if he just fucks off and causes the death of dozens of people the sheriff is probably going to be pretty pissed off.
>>223443639I'd actually say the show was accidentally anti-woke, with John's psychotic parents being motivated by the idea of "Black excellence". It paints the picture of the "hardworking minority who needs to work extra hard to be seen" in a very negative light, which I'm sure the turbo-kikes behind this show didn't mean for it to come off so. John's rejection of the ring also breaks down his family since his crazy fuckass "we wuz victims n shieeet" parents were literally only together so they could see him become a Lantern.
>>223443711It's funny how his brothers bully him for being light skinned and how if he came out niggerer after the skin restoration they would make fun of him for that too. Like what the fuck?
>>223443723Someone in the writer's room is a chud and the kikes in there couldn't sniff him out lol.
>>223443639Its based on a version of Hal Jordan that becomes obsessed with power and evil.
>>223436077He's supposed vetting his replacement to make sure it's ok to hand him unlimited power, like a real hero would.If John cannot handle something small like a car crash, or not fucking the main villain, or being the guardians backstabbing bitch, or controlling his nigger brain monkey urgent to be violent and steal, then what use is he against real worldwide threats?Why does this little bitch deserve the near unlimited power of the ring?John would almost certainly become a much worse tyrant than any alien with that much power. If he died in that car crash the world would be much better off.
>>223443711>It paints the picture of the "hardworking minority who needs to work extra hard to be seen" in a very negative lightThats the point. Its reality and its unfair. John is the result of that unfairness. So him denying the ring is supposed to be a big IM FREE moment where he stops trying to prove himself.
>>223443723Its a commentary on colorism. Only nonwhite people would understand. But it is 100% caused by white people. If you don't understand how that means you ignored the last 800 years of human history.
>>223443812Then he instantly pivots to making safety bunkers due to his guilt in what happened. He never tried to stop proving himself (to himself.)
>>223437288Firstly you would have to prove that in court.The entire town ere working with a genocide alien.The Sherrif should be behind bars.
The idea of Green Lantern having to deal with any kind of earthy law is just ridiculous to me and it's why I dropped the show after episode 1 despite not even knowing anything about Green Lantern
>>223443838I do understand it. I grew up witnessing blacks bully other blacks for being the wrong shade of brown. It's still retard logic that you mock somebody for being to light but if they turn as dark as you then you make fun of them for that too.
>>223443877Nigger did you ever watch Justice League "In Blackest Night" where John is on trial by the Manhunters for supposedly destroying a planet?
>>223442730?
>>223443890It's almost like environment pressure affects how genes are expressed even in offspring.
>>223443960I don't understand your point. Are you suggesting John is brighter skinned because his parents cared about him more?
>>223443890People make fun of privileged people who lose their privilege all the time. You ever heard of ugly privilege.
>>223443774>Why does this little bitch deserve the near unlimited power of the ring?Because the Guardians and his parents saw it fit to groom an innocent baby into a child soldier, and they somehow thought that dehumanizing a person is the best way to create an ideal Green Lantern. Turns out, it actually creates a highly bitter, repressed, entitled, and volatile individual who'll most certainly lash out at the people who unfairly robbed him of his life. The fact that John didn't pull off a Sinestro himself is a miracle, but him throwing away the ring at the Guardian's face is the biggest "fuck you" he could muster to both parties in good conscience.
>>223443993What privileges did John have from being lighter skin aside from in his own family's own racism to themselves?
>>223434241killing people
>>223444030>What privileges did John have from being lighter skinI repeat>If you don't understand how that means you ignored the last 800 years of human history.
>>223444059Go be a nigger somewhere else.
>>223444030It's deeper than that, his brothers also clowned on him for "talking White". The other anon is right, only a nonwhite would understand this. It's the "crab bucket". John is receiving more attention than his brothers by his parents and he ends up being more disciplined and educated than them, thus why he "sounds White" to them, and they're jealous and resentful of it. Again, "crab bucket", the idea that is "who the fuck are you to be better than me when you're just like me?".
>>223444030>>223444059>>223444125Genuinely good explanation of the crab mentality among Black folks:https://youtube.com/watch?v=ipg4EL_JUyE
>>223443711>>223443723>>223443748>>223443812>>223443838No fuck off, the "IT'S SECRETELY BASED!" was already just shit when HBO Watchmen came out
>>223444059there are right now more slaves in africa than in all of slaveries history in the us and it was and is to this day white people who end slavery, also the arab european slave trade was worse.
>>223444234You watched it? The show is very fucking uncharitable to the "black struggle" narrative, which I'm 99.9% sure was unintentional. The
>>223441593Lanterns is a show written by people who know what a Good Show should look and sound like but dont know how to actually Write a good show. Take Episode 3, fine enough episode on its own, then we get to the "its unfair to black men" line of dialogue. Which would be fine if it wasn't immediately followed up with, essentially, "let's experiment on your child to see what genes he inherited", which is fascinating given a black woman wrote the episode. Not to mention the heavily incestuous subtext between john and his mom, subtext which bleeds into his hookups with zoe, one of which happens right after he gets off the phone with his mom. The show treats being green lantern like an extension of the armed forces or being a student athlete which is incredibly limiting for the brand if the first three lanterns are all either army or athletes. Keeping on the racism though, the show follows episode 3 up with the reveal that the manhunters exploit prejudice to fuck their way to the top of the social ladder, and that the manhunter hal and john are after happens to be the only indian woman in town. Again, fascinating writing choices here. And now, instead of letting the audience sit with hal's death and really marinate in that, we get the nicer hal from 2006 because the guardians cant destroy the ring if john is supposed to be a lantern, which means the guardians have been waiting the past ten years for john to come crawling back which undercuts the hell out of john deciding to abandon being a lantern since this is all happening within the last 3 episodes of an 8 episode season. Genuinely fucking baffling show.
>>223444274>The show is very fucking uncharitable to the "black struggle" narrative, which I'm 99.9% sure was unintentional. TheI repeat, FUCK OFF. You don't get to claim it's SECRETELY BASED or ACCIDENTALLY RIGHTWING like hivemind idiots shills tried with each new Disney movie or that fucking Harry Potter game full of diversity and gaysbians, this show Lantern is as woke as Captain Fungus and showing blacks being assholes doesn't change that because they hate whites more and justify blacks being assholes always
>>223444397Like I BEEN saying, "accidentally anti-woke", I guarantee that the writers had zero intentions for it to come off like that, but it did. And you know that phrase libtards like throwing around: "death of the author" and all that shit. Whether there was a secret chud in the writer's room or not doesn't matter, it comes off as a critique of minority culture.And about thay last part, we still don't know why John dug up Hal's ring and what he intends to do with it. If he did somehow magically want to become a Lantern again, then it would make the show a solid 0/10 for betraying its central character's arc. But until then, we'll wait and see. If they can stick to their guns about him rejecting the ring and resenting his parents and the Guardians, I'll keep my rating at 7/10.
>>223444430>doesn't change that because they hate whites more and justify blacks being assholes alwaysStop chimping out, pinknigger, no justification was done, and if it was indeed attempted then it fell flat on its face. You fucking whiny, reactionary ass chuds act exactly how xitter trannies do and then wonder why literally no one likes you. Kill yourself, you lonely white loser nigger.
>>223444265>also the arab european slave trade was worseNo American slave trade is the worst thing in human history and makes all other forms of slavery look like a bad job. Chattel slavery is endgame slavery and America did it by race.
>>223434975I think it was shown that the suicide bomber leader had a personal relationship with the Manhunter. So while he was ready to explode everything, he wanted to face them as well.
>>223434975I was disappointed too, but it makes sense for them to lie through their teeth about the danage they're capable of to get the Green Lantern to cooperate/relent.
John is my hero.
So many dumb writing decisions that annoy me each episode. >Suicide alien beeps>Hal walks through a metal detector with the front bumper made out of plastic, while carrying a tire iron>John stewarts parents>Johns mom racebaiting a blue alien>John fires from the army>Shooting apples off a kids head as a training method, lol >John sitting in a chair for 24/7 as a test, really dumb scene>John sitting in a snipers nest for 6 months, lol>John being a vegan>John stewart falling in love with some old Indian woman after a single night of sex, lol >Manhuner killed with regular gun>Suicide aliens decide to blow themselves up for reasons>Hal tries to kill John>Town is being destroyed "heroes" decide to have a random fist fight>Hal is sent to prison for 10 yrs>None of the people who helped the alien is charged with any crimes, lol >Ring is basically useless>Giant laser beam in the sky rekting a town and no other heroes decide to help>Random male nudity>Constant profanity
>>223444571That's actually a fair point, yeah.
>>223444059Retarded. Neither John or Hal are treated any differently. The writers have nothing say.
>>223444495>>223444556Lanterns still sucks, Kyle Chandler sucks and so every actor in this shit
>>223444571>>223445357Lie he was just an ineffective villain that they didn't know how to build
>>223443838>colorismLiterally just dark skin people getting angry at fair skin features. Stupid since all that matters is your personality, intelligence and beauty. A dark skin person who has all these qualities lives a better life than their fair skin counterparts who have none these attributes.
>>223444560>No American slave trade is the worst thing in human history and makes all other forms of slavery look like a bad job. Chattel slavery is endgame slavery and America did it by race.It's not even worse than the current sexual slavery in the elitez
Colorism is fake. The most famouse blacks on the planet are mostly darker skinned and get more respect from the public. I want more lightskinned celebs desu. America is obsessed with west African features.
>>223434255FPBPop is a gigafaggot confirmed
>>223434241I dont watch this slopWhy the fuck would they imprison a green lantern?Isnt he a worldwide hero or something?Its like throwing batman in jailThis nigga saved the world

>>223445480>Colorism is fakewhite hands typed this
>>223445634He's canonically not
He literally didn’t commit a single crime
>>223445794Not our fault blacks are insecure.
>>223434255i love Lanterns
>>223434763>he has some legal obligation to report thingsSo did the sheriff, but she still gets to be sheriff a decade later. Despite knowing full well about the Manhunter and hr laser satellites.
For someone who very vocally doesn't want to be replaced to the point of saying John will have the ring over his dead body, Hal is fairly generous with just giving John the ring. Sure, John probably could've died in that car crash but he didn't and he just has the ring while the Hal goes off to eat tacos.
>>223446285He's a foreign agent operating on US soil. Probably doesn't even pay taxes.
>>223446459>I am ignorant of the atrocities committed by my fatherK
>>223434241>what was he charged with to be in prison for 10 years?he admitted to having gay sex in space when talking to antaan. James Gunn is expecting the audience to understand implcitly that sodomy is not only a sin against god, but that it is illegal in the aspirational version of the united states as portrayed in the DCU
>>223438885It's great. Fisher Stevens kino.
>>223443812>Its realityNo, it's an inversion of it lmao
>>223444560Bait
>>223444556Using slurs doesn't make you fit in, rajesh
>>223446816My family are Estonian immigrants that didn't come to America until after WW2. I don't think they committed any atrocities against blacks in the US, but ok.
>>223446816How about we talk about the astrocities happening right now. You people are genetic timebombs. Bioligocial weapons of mass destruction. You belong in the jungle eating each other where we found you. You already pushed your luck as faras you could and instead of stopping while you are ahead you wont stop until you are eradicated as the invasive speciies that you are
is this the thread
>Assault>Attempted Murder>KidnappingSeems easy enough to rack up 10 years like this. I assumed what really happened though was he was likely tried for escelating the confrontation that lead to the destruction of Rushville, and also working with the retards who initiated it.Maybe I missed something but it seemed like the Manhunter was just sort of chilling. I wonder if they'll address the contrasting irony of John Stewart's career with that.
I am once again reminded that superhero nerds are gay retards.
>>223447041Oh, and breaking and entering, not to mention whatever you call it when you steal corpses. I'm sure there's a specific legal name for that.

what the fuck, not even a full hour
>>223437288Hal's only crime was being a superior white man. Jews so kikish the writing is niggerheebed.
Well Hal killed himself
>>223445353it's a stupid show for manchildren cucks, the type of lame faggots who s(*)yface at anything comics-related. it tries too hard to be edgy, and in turn is actually shallow. it's aimed at the liberal comic-con attendee. it's not fun or thought-provoking. it doesn't inspire. it frames the hero as a selfish asshole who is borderline racist. if you waste time thinking deeply about it, and pointing out its flaws, you played directly into their hand. the end goal of these shows is to waste your time and take money from subs. can't even find a free stream online, and that's good because it saved me from watching one full episode.
>>223436322that isn't what she said
>>223447138>what the fuck is a manhunter, you bulbheaded yellow-skinned faggot>tell me everything you fucking know even though there's nothing in it for youthey can't even use a different word than fuck to be edgy. at least let the main character be a full-blown 1950s-style racist and misogynist. that would have drummed up more interest in the show via outrage marketing.>Hal Jordan is actually older than he seems, having grown up in the 1950s. The power ring slows down his aging, and this is one of the reasons why he does not want to let it go.
>>223434241HOWS IT FEEL WHITE BOI? YEA THATS WHAT US BLACK PEOPLE BEEN SAYIN FOR 150 YEARS. YOU PRIVILEGED CUZ IT WAS ONLY 10 YEARS. A NIGGA WOULDA GOT LIFE
>>223437288>he went to prison for not murderingok?
>>223434241He did start a bar fight and get arrested and released on bail, and then later was pinned for the deaths of the towns people. It should have gone to federal court, but it may only have made state, and being green, both red and blue states would have found him guilty.
>>223443768only because cyborg superman nukes his cityand the blue faggots were being niggers about his grief
>>223434310>What if you>sucked my dick>THROUGH MY ASS?
>>223434241He literally says i took the fall but retards like you cannot comprehend Hal's guilt and government cover-up mixed with town pushing for a sentence.Also he was in prison for max 5 years. He spent 3 years with Kerry after he got out.
I’m not sure how you look at multiple iterations of GL that existed and think somehow the tv show serves as a replacement unless you’re extremely irrational
DCU Carol is pretty. She gives me Tina Fey/Julianne Moore vibes
