It makes think back to High School where the word "Gay" was used as a catch all for anything stupid or negative. This is Gay. That's Gay. Don't be Gay. In our minds, the word wasn't connected to homophobia, it was just a word we liked to say. But eventually one of my sisters called me out for using it and I had to…

While this may be true in the cases of particular episodes, I don't necessarily buy this as a whole. The show is rarely subtle, and if there's one real through-line baked into it's DNA, it's that every argument boils down to some sort of twisted false equivalence where both sides are somehow equally right and wrong at…

Yeah, their whole episode about the word F** was the ridiculous whining of privileged white straight guys, who just REALLY like a certain swear and don't want to have to change it because whoops- its horrifically homophobic.

I'd say this article does a really good job of underscoring they didn't necessarily create certain movements or attitudes, but were certainly key, contributing factors for many individuals within said movements.

Exactly!

Great article, presents the case well, doesn't attribute more to the show than is realistic, but also makes a really well formulated argument for how it HAS fed into the alt-right, it's attitudes and practices- intentionally or not. And how the creators have jerked themselves off to the notion of being "punk rock"…

Personally, I'm willing to wait as long as they get it right. I'm hoping influence from Guardians and Thor: Ragnorok will bleed into things a bit. Not saying it has to be a joke fest, but those sort of epic insane visuals from the Thor trailer could translated really well to Green Lanterns. Imagine that Wasp Green…

So much of that comes from Snyder though. I mean the script obviously had some big problems (jar of piss) but I doubt there was anything in there about "Superman just stands there and watches". A lot of touches in the film just feel like Snyder going off book, like stuff where the Batmobile/Batwing kill all those…

THAT would be epic. Particularly if they skewed younger in casting Hal, so you could an even more pronounced contrast in their two styles- Hal is the young hot head pilot, Stewart the experienced Marine.

Could be right, all I mean is, we've got probably the biggest GL fan in a quasi Feige role of the DCEU right now. I suspect he's pushing as hard as he can (within reason) to keep Green Lantern in a place of prominence on the slate of upcoming films, and to gradually reintroduce the character so he can give us a much…

LoL that might have come off wrong. Generally I want him as a happy, positive force for good (see Supergirl). But if a screenwriter or director wants to give him some layers, I'd argue THAT'S the way to go. If he has a moment of doubt, I don't think it should revolve around "Should I save people or be a mopey hobo"…

Except none of them are played by Cate Blanchet.

…you're an idiot

Right. Teamwork!

Here I thought they were following Marvel's lead and making their villain totally forgettable :P

Or "Not just misinterpreting the characters, but literally shitting all over everything they stand for". FUCK I hate Batman v Superman…

I'd see potential for that coming out of/related to either JL 2 or maybe Green Lantern Corps. I mean JL 2 could very well take place primarily on New Genesis/Apokalips.

Still rumours floating around one or more might cameo in the end of the film. Wouldn't be surprised, as if there's one character you KNOW Johns is pushing hard, it's GL. I mean, he's featured pretty prominently in the new DC logo/all the artwork they throw around Hall H and stuff. Seems like he's doing everything he…

Seems premature, but definitely wouldn't be surprised if the editors for the trailer were doing their best/told to ape his style.

Seriously, if Barry re-writes the history of the DCEU so that Batman never killed anyone and Superman was never a mopey asshole, I can get behind a Flashpoint movie.
