Maybe it does, I don’t know anything about source material comics.

I do know, 999999999/100000000, these days, it’s much closer to my interpretation. For example, the last of us had a full on dumbass episode in season 1 and season 2 took a rocket ship to faggotsville and I didn’t even finish it.

I welcome your version with open arms though, but forced to pick, I know where I’m placing all my chips

that's called a prediction, not projection. Your use of projecton is just due to it's popularity as a culture war buzzword.

Which tracks as predictable with you as well.

Inasmuch as I loathe those who parrot all the talking points of the neckbeard mafia, and demand i see it as independently arrived thought, simply to engage in culture war horseshite. . .

I equally loathe the gay automatons who always seem to have the same baseline Reddit-approved opinions, Fully engaging in the culture war nonsense in the most embarrassingly slimy way. . .because all the while they are bitching about the culture war nonsense being engaged.

And then have the nerve to complain about "oh it's just those other figs fricking up the board".

Now I will go back to trying to be nicer to people on here. Especially the retards.

My gosh. She lays it all out. The writers of this show view Hal as a villain. They are pathetic pieces of garbage.

Yep, she definitely has contempt for Hal. The good news she's done now. She's not listed as a writer for any of the remaining episodes.

I guess that's good news, but every other episode has struck the same tune with Hal so I don't know why anyone would think it'll get better.

When they tell you how much they hate something, believe them.

That isn’t good news. She laid the foundation for the entire show, there is no escaping it because everything that comes after is built on what she did. The entire writer’s room will continue to write the characters informed by that interpretation

It sucks they turned a brand new comic book cinematic universe into a shitshow political disaster before the universe even got moving. It took marvel quite some time to go down that path

I disagree, but only slightly. When you get into the liberal bubbles (where a lot of these people dwell), no contrarian (much less competing) stance is allowed. This then insulates the group enough from reality for them to truly believe what they want is what the majority of people want.

When it fails? They'll blame troll farms, the weather, etc.

And fully pretending that they're not.

I also haven't decoded the "you can't criticize this" list. Some shows you can criticize and nobody wigs out, some you can't without some estrogen-fueled meltdown in response.

I knew that episode was going to be not well liked. I find it heavy handed with the "black in America" stuff. Like yeah we get it. Times were hard and shite. We know. I don't want it in my scifi or superhero movies.

she definitely wrote the "even from space yall ignore us" or whatever that dumb arse line was. Probably thought it was gold.

writers like her are why people think there's "comic movie fatigue" People aren't tired of the product, just the forced, completely non subtle messaging.

the messaging has always existed but man this era of writers just seem to have to scream the message out at you with the subtlety of a drunken gorilla

never been into green lantern but the first 2 episodes were solid enough, this episode was pretty bad though. I guess the hallmark of the gunn DCU is shitty parents.

Lindelof will double down on the stupidity and then blame the fans like he's done since LOST.

the funniest part about that exchange is that she recognizes Paw Patrol tells better stories than this.

condescending c unt ...typical though. "what I'm doing is just too heavy and complex for you" so go watch a kids show. Actually, you're messaging comes off more like a psa at the end of a kids cartoon where you have to spell out the message for them because you suck at writing.

Bonus points for slipping in a micro aggressions and privilege though. Didn't realize telling someone they suck at their job requires a privilege check though

I will never understand their need to take this dynamic.

When the Guardians first approached Hal about adding John Stewart, he voices his reservations - and the Guardian presumes Hal has an issue with John's skin color, but Hal states that he sees a lot of anger in John and isn't sure how he'll handle being a Green Lantern. Hal's simply not racist - he's the one that officially invites John and they become really close friends (both being the former military of the Earth Green Lanterns helps - Hal was Air Force, John was Marines).

But no, Hal being racist is absurd - the man interacts with ALIENS. You think a guy who has no issue with purple people and 4-armed people and talking spheres and a sentient planet and talking squirrels is going to have a problem with BLACK HUMANS? It's absurd to the level of insulting.

They're erasing the friendship between the two and it sucks. They clearly never read the actual source material.
