I wasn’t sure who the actor playing Sinestro was but I thought he looked familiar. He was the villain in the show “Banshee” if you run out of good shows to watch. It also starred Homelander.

I didn’t mean “Super Soldier” like Captain America, just that John was the cream of the crop soldier and yet he was fooled. I just thought that was a little unbelievable. Meanwhile, Hal knows all.

Ronican is just a play on Panican, the WSI “dark clouds” of SoxTalk. “Jedi” are the positive posters. I thought you of all people would be up-to-date on the SoxTalk slang…

I was hoping we wouldn’t have to see that ridiculous bowl cut again, but yes, he’s in the show at some point. I also think it’s stupid that they made John Stewart’s character, a super soldier, not be able to detect who the manhunter is and instead do what he did… twice.

Well, I don’t even understand this because Hal Jordan earned his ring because he showed no fear after John Stewart Sr. showed fear when the guardians visited him and was passed over. John Sr. admitted it himself in the show. However, it’s obvious that the guardians aren’t racist and there is no such thing as privilege to them because they are trying to now give the ring to John Stewart Sr.’s son who truly has no fear like Sr. showed.

Yes, that’s likely what Marmol thought. There is no official MLB rule that hats have to be worn straight, which is why Eddings was forced to apologize as well.

Are you trying to say that Ronican would make a post to illicit responses like this? I’ve always known him to be a super serious poster, so I have to disagree with you here.

Crazy that an NBA team’s concession prices could be cheaper than freaking McDonald’s. I can’t see how anyone couldn’t at least admit this is an awesome move by an owner.

I’m assuming you made a typo regarding Hal versus John in your first paragraph. I never said that Hal stole the ring. Hal’s father was a test pilot that tragically crashed and burned which shaped Hal’s lack of fear to eventually earn a ring. It was John Stewart’s father that was afraid of the aliens visiting him which is why he was passed over for a ring. However, it is John’s parents that go nuts and practically abuse him as a child (e.g., shooting apples off of his head and making him to do the same to his father, dropping him off in a dangerous neighborhood at night, etc.) to remove any fear from him and ensure that he will ultimately be worthy of a ring. However, episode 3 heavily infers (through John Stewart’s mother) that Hal was granted a ring due to white privilege and that he could potentially be racist as well. John Stewart also infers that Hal doesn’t deserve the ring and that he’s just holding it for him in episode 4. But you are right, Hal Jordan’s isn’t a racist, he’s just an asshole that doesn’t want to lose his job as earth’s protector and pass the ring to John. Hopefully, this will somehow be tied back to in the storyline later in the season. Perhaps Hal Jordan somehow proves to John Stewart that he wasn’t just privileged and given the ring and that he in fact deserved it, or maybe he even saves John’s life somehow and proves he isn’t the other thing as well. Also, forget the ComicBookMovie site then. Here’s a Reddit source on the story, just like you shared… https://www.reddit.com/r/DC_Cinematic/comments/1w5jpd4/anyone_else_think_this_is_a_bit_weird_coming_from/

So I wasn’t the only one who didn’t understand a word of that?!?

I’ve watched all four episodes. The backstory around John Stewart’s father showing fear so he was unworthy of a ring was written into the show to further push the racial privilege and racist storyline around Hal Jordan. It was not canon to the comic book. I’m all for artistic license, but when it is used solely to push a show-runner’s or writer’s own agenda, it’s just BS to me. Perhaps the show will prove out that Hal Jordan is truly not a racist, and the other characters will realize this in the show. But in the comic books, there were Green Lanterns of every race, sex, color, and species. It solely had to do with having no fear. Meanwhile, the official DC Podcast host has been saying that Hal Jordan is indeed racist in the comic books. Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. https://comicbookmovie.com/tv/dc/lanterns/lanterns-backlash-intensifies-as-dc-studios-podcast-host-brands-hal-jordan-a-racist-a229664

Agree to disagree. There has been a ton of backlash about this show due to the comments on racial privilege and characters saying that Hal Jordan is racist. Many articles out there so I won’t bother linking them here. I don’t watch comic book movies and shows to listen to show-runners and writers on either side push their agendas on me. I like crazy super-powered characters, not politics and social rants in my shows.

I watched this movie after finding it on the high seas this past weekend. As a big comic book fan when I was young, but also as someone who thinks these movies are getting played out and boring, I still thought it was the best movie in the series. At least this and the new Avengers movie will likely be good ones for this year because the DC movies and shows are literally unwatchable crap (far too much forced political agendas), minus maybe Peacemaker which is at least funny.

My son tipped me off to this and I thought that @greg775 and others might enjoy it — Brother Rice is doing a series of YouTube videos about their current season. Sort of a behind the scenes all access series — think NFL Hard Knocks for a high school football team. A shame they didn’t start this last year with the state championship winning team. But they could always win it again this year. Here’s the first episode:

Is this the very same thing that Schriffen did shortly after he started? Called out the “haters”?

He said more stupid and sexist things than Bernstein.

The Sox are now 16-17 since the trade deadline.

Mune with the golden sombrero. He is broken.

Dat ball was crushed.

You are trying hard to get a game thread locked with your last couple posts.

Nope, to each his/her own.

No no-no and no Beavis. Baby steps.

You must hate the majority of country music singers then.

You can cancel the postgame show.

No Urgiggity.
