People are scared of defanged snakes. Declawed cats. Skunks without glands. … I think when we think of people, you have to realize somethings don’t make sense. So making the victim more palatable doesn’t help anyone.

The lazily blended Kyle Raynor's story into John's. Is the character a proud black man overtly out to destroy racist injustice? Yep - always has been. Folks need to read more source material and fewer comments - this comment notwithstanding.

To be clear, I say reduction in this terms. That is not John Stewart. The only thing they have in common is their race. His home life is different, his relationship to his family is different, his relationship to Hal is different, his relationship to his race is different. Is it a bad character?

Are the actors giving their all? Yes! Is the action exciting? Kinda? Is the the story good? We shall see. Is it taking one the most prominent Black superheroes and reducing him to his race? Yes.

There is no safe space to say “I don’t like Lanterns cause of the character assassination of John and Hal,” without someone saying, “If you don’t like the show you’re racist” You know… the show notoriously created by three white men. Desperately looking for people who READ comics for their thoughts
