Self ego masturbation is no way to defend a point here. No one gives a frick.

Your argument either stands or falls on its own logic and merit. Who you think you are and what you say you’ve done is irrelevant.

No, it's the Hollywood media trying to portray the show as a vehicle for virtue signaling because to them it's a positive. I haven't watched yet (but I intend to because the previews and premise look great) but their framing it within the context of race is probably going to turn more potential viewers off than on. That's on their tone deafness, not on those who are pointing out their attempt to inject race politics into the show (whether it exists there or not).

Would’ve been a huge surprise if the selfish frickers in here hadn’t insisted on spoiling it for the rest of us.

Nope. Again, every trailer mentioned there could only be one Green Lantern. And then they showed John using the ring multiple times. Anyone could have speculated this would be the result just by connecting these two things from the trailers.

The part that's odd now is Guy Gardner existing in this world.

You just contradicted yourself, knowing that Guy exists negates any of the "only one Green Lantern" comments, since anyone who has ever read a Green Lantern comic past 1961 knows that there are multiple Green Lanterns, and multiple Green Lanterns of Earth since 1972.

Spoiling that ending was a dick move, pure and simple.

I didn't contradict myself. They clearly set up, in the trailers, that Hal Jordan was going to die. No one spoiled it for you. It was obvious to anyone watching the trailers.

I realize someone claimed he knew something no one else knew, but it was still very obvious from the trailers that Hal Jordan was going to die in this show. They weren't exactly hiding it.

Stop being a little bitch. It was all over the internet

Lindelof even gave an interview about how the fans are going to be pissed at him

Says the first c#nt to spoil it on TigerDroppings. But hey, you got to feel important for an hour, so I guess it was worth it for you.

It's a really stupid argument. You'd have had to avoid all news about this show to not know they were killing off Hal Jordan. Stupid to expect "no spoilers" to mean "don't talk about what people employed by the show are saying about the show" and "don't say what they're showing in the trailers means what it obviously means."

the problem is believing what the trailer said is actually true. i don't want to spoil more though.

bullshite. I promise you that my algorithm forces more DC news towards me than almost anyone. The one place where people insisted on spoiling Lanterns was here. And not just one thread. Proximo made sure to bring it back up for his additional dopamine rush.

Very solid first episode. Had no idea Lindelof was behind this so not surprising it was so well done. Not a superhero guy but this will be appointment viewing on Sundays going forward.

I would have had no idea they were killing him if it weren't for Proximo saying it in threads not even about Lanterns.

I thought episode one was pretty good except I have one complaint.

***** Spoilers *******









I found it really odd and a little jarring that JS would just walk the older lady to her truck and have casual sex with her. There is no way that straight laced character would do that. Talk me out of it, I'm easily swayed if you disagree.

I don't totally disagree, but Hal was more shocked than you or I. So I guess they wanted that to look like an out of character moment.

His reaction was great, I'll give you that! "JC, we've only been here 24 hours! "

You know what's undefeated?

Straight laced or not, if it's offered up that easy it's hard to turn down. He might be a womanizer for all we know as well. i doubt it, but maybe he has a track record with the ladies.

This should be the movie/tv boards tagline now. I'm going to hate on it and tell the people that have watched it all about the show and it's messaging before I even watch it. Pretty much what this board is now.

Yeah that was a surprise.


I’m not clear on how a hologram that hasn’t been updated in 10 years knows about something that just happened in Nebraska.

My only guess is that when the "hal o gram" came back online he also got an upload from the GL corp that may have tipped him off.
