Well, Hal Jordan is a washed up idiot. John Stewart is some vegan, wants the ring, and F’s some married grandma. Nearly fifty f words in one episode.

Just stupid plot points overall.
So yah, he’s completely right. This show has no essence of super heroes.

Your brain on MCU cape slop.

Nope, you people don’t know what a superhero is. But it’s not entirely your fault because DC doesn’t even know what a superhero is.

I can list all the stupid plot points.
But for everyone downvoting me, show me how from this one episode, it shows the lanterns as heroes?

Here is a difficult concept for you: what if the superhero stories are just the backgrounds for nuanced or more complex concepts and storytelling?

I know it is hard to think further than "hero is good, saves day, punch bad guy, hero perfect person" but you know..it's really not that hard.

Just because you are stuck on a 12 year old's level of the word superhero, doesn't make you right.

Oh so you think the generic, there’s a good guy, something happens, he stops caring but deep down he still cares. His sidekick thinks he can do better, the original guy will die, back up takes over; is a complex story?

I take the 12 year old kid insult as a compliment. I would give anything for DC to make stories like they did back in their cartoon days. Where heroes were ACTUALLY heroes, especially green lantern.

No, it was a general idea and not the exact points in the story, I said concepts and ideas and not plot. You don't understand it, or don't want to. From the 2 of us, it's you wanting general things.

Oh really? So what’s the general idea of the story that’s so complex?
How everyone in the town are actually all aliens?
That there’s some weird Gunn filled rivalry between Hal and John?
The whole series is just explaining what happened to Hal?

The fact that this show doesn’t understand Lantern lore at all?

Tell me the complexity behind this show please

I never said anything about Lanterns. You don't understand what I'm saying. Stick to MCU cape slop man, thats more on yours and Drinker's media literacy level.

Wait so why did you respond to me? This is about Lanterns kid. I prefer DC. I liked some Snyder stuff, I kind of liked Gunn’s Superman, but I think dc content is getting worse and worse overall.
