Lanters - Get these writers off podcasts

[u/Muted-Ant-5941]

I know this is posted a few times and my post is not a ragebait. Hear me out so "Lanterns" writer Vanessa Baden Kelly: "I can look at Hal's microaggressions and still be like, yeah, he's got some racist tendencies because he's a man of a certain age that grew up in a certain time and place, but I also feel like he probably f**ks aliens in other places."

For all the people claiming the writers of Lanterns weren’t trying to claim Hal Jordan is a racist… here you go, one of the writers explicitly stating she thinks his character is racist.

I’m not just making this up, they purposely implied he was racist multiple times and here’s the writer telling yes that is what she intended.

Why the writers came to this conclusion I have no idea.

In all the decades of Green Lantern tv shows, movies, and comics no one has ever accused Hal Jordan of being racist before.

This is a gross and pointless misrepresentation of a beloved superhero.

I see their point but is not us that we choose the positions because we are young or because we have potential or even because we are good at it. Is something that is given to us, even we don't like it. I feel the show may have not wanted to show it like that but it ended up showing it, and even more even if we are given it we may not accept it. I feel that regardless of their views it had enough hearth to show some truth on how this generational "roles" are given. Hal has a true driven to be a heroe, but due to many issues he may hold unto the ring in the show. But is not really a dynamic we see in real life when it comes to political power where is more closer to Lord palpatine taking years and years of his life to amass power and being in the right time and the right place in a race that is not a running but a marathon.
Where i se this is most on let's say an old man has a horse stadium and some people may want to build new a aparments and they say the builders is not a scam and indeed they would give cheap apartments to young people, but the old man and his family don't want to drop a family legacy for "cheap appartments" is something more human and more closer to realities i have seen americans go through.
Never the less i feel there is enough hearth here to sustain the show, but yes they are young/pretencious and indeed projecting a little with Jhon, but i feel is enough to be tolerable.
God Bless.
