Lanterns- HBO Max

[Jorge]

I really like this show. Ep 3 was cool

[spike]

Which was titled Black Wives Matter

[spike]

Seriously though, that was an unhinged response by Stewart’s mom. Did the Laura Linney Guardian brainwash her or something?

[VinylGuy]

I dont quite like Hal Jordan´s portrait here, he kinda feels like Guy Gardner.....he was drunk and in a titty bar when he kindapped that drug lord? sometimes feels pretty off.

The time jumps were a little jarring, but I really liked Ep3.

I have no pre-conceived idea of Hal's personality, so I don't care if he's a little off the rails. The show's doing a great job of showing how the suppressed emotions that made the ring choose him turned out to be a liability.

[bada]

Just like with Jean Grey in the last Spider-Man I'm not sure the writers understand their victims are actually psychotic villains but I'll go with it.

[Peeps]

When Geoff Johns was writing GL and bringing Hal back to hero status he showed how each lantern worked their ring



I liked how they showed john making his fathers watch which is along those lines. not a big part of the story but a nice nod to the source material

they are focusing too much on this idea that Hal wasnt worthy and he is a great hero.

[Jorge]

We've seen him do much worse. It's fine.

the problem is the ring doesnt judge you if you are a great hero. it judges if you can overcome fear.

in the comics fear has a color and it is yellow. if you are a green lantern you can overcome fear if you are a yellow lantern (as sinestro will be) you have the ability to instill great fear

A person can be both unworthy and a great hero, but there's obviously an uncertainty to him that makes him a liability for the Guardians. They don't appear to want to punish him as much as insure against any damage he may do.

I know very little about the Green Lantern, but this looks good.

[VinylGuy]

Last one was kinda boring. I still dont like this Hal Jordan.

[spike]

I liked the Wunderhorse tune at the end.

Smashing John Stewart into a telephone pole is not endearing me to him.

[VinylGuy]

Grant Morrison thinks the same. This Jordan is pretty weird.

Also we have four more left...four more hours...its getting a bit repetitive...

[wease]

I’m REALLY enjoying this show in spite of the things I don’t like about it. I do not like how Hal is portrayed thus far but I think Chandler is the perfect guy to play him. The guy playing John is fucking spot on. I’d prefer some more ring slinging.

I think we’ve already seen the Manhunter, but none of us know who it is.

[VinylGuy]

yeah Chandler is great, his character is far off from any Jordan we know. Pierre is also great.

[wease]

I’m hoping Hal ends up being Hal by the end of this thing.

[Jorge]

I remember Hal being an asshole. Also he committed space genocide.

But I'm more interested in whether the character they built for this show is well-formed and compelling, and he really is. He clearly has some damage and insecurity, and the way he plays off Stewart is so fun
