Lanterns [Crime, DC Studios] (Page 4 of 5)

I respect your opinion that all conversations about 'wokeness' should be in one thread. However, inevitably, there seems to be a certain subset of people that will cry repeatedly about any 'wokeness' that appears in a show. I believe it's appropriate to address those comments within the thread when it pertains to the show. In this thread someone asked what they meant about being woke, and I provided the best explanation I could for the contextual meaning. Sorry if it annoyed you, frankly it annoys me too, mostly because I recognize it's use as the carefully coded racism it is, and am annoyed it's infected this site as extensively as it has.

There better be a season 2 after this cliff hanger.

Why for the love of god did I assume this was done? I apologize. Still a good episode. Although it drove me nuts. All that messing around while you had very little time? I almost screamed at the TV.

Thank you lighton for pointing out the error of my ways.

  lolz  You're awesome.

1x07

This episode was awesome !

Thinking why the heck didn't they start with this. Especially with the end of Episode 1.

They could've gone 01 + 06 + 07 as major plot story and inbetween tell the past that caused all of the damage and pain with flashbacks (only what's important to connect the two story lines).

I am not the biggest fan of flashbacks, but in this case it would've made for much better storytelling and character development.

And now we are at the perfect point to continue where 05 left off.

Maybe that is also something the fanedits reddit @SgtSaint mentioned could do

Called it!

@mitch77 good call too! I didn't think that

good show over all. 7/10
the story was obvious and most everything was telegraphed long in advance.
( they really were not subtle in the story telling, and still had pointless filler )
they got a cheaper green lantern for follow up shows over mr big bucks.

but that guy must have more mental issues then most slave trafficking  victims.
what his parents did to him was right up there with brainwashing and abuse of the highest levels.
real mk-ultra levels of evil.

the feel good ending was just a cop-out for a ending.

DC still is not committing to the stories they seem to want to tell.

i did approve of some of the morals the story was trying to tell
but im feeling they left it as more
"do evil, and shitty things, just hope someone you love will forgive you because they are too messed up to do the right thing and walk away from you"

I watched ep 7 & 8 back to back:
-Well, at least Tom King is consistent in his love of writing sad, depressed, suicidal heroes, sigh.  This one falls somewhere between Batman Rebirth and Mister Miracle.
-No one on this production team has ever played ANY kind of "sports ball", lol.
-The use of the ring or more appropriately the "lack of use" of the ring has become a very tired plot device.
-"GENERATIONAL TRAUMA", so gauche 🤣
-Still...what law did Hal break to catch a dime in federal prison?
I can see why S02 hasn't been "green lit" just yet;  maybe John could team up with Sinestro to fight capitalism and ride around the country in a RV like Shazam did in the 1970's?  I watched these two ep's in our theater and I gotta say the best thing about this show is the cinematography, the audio mix & the soundtrack - all are really good.

I found the pacing of the last 2 episodes to be really slow. Other than that, I enjoyed them. Think I will power binge the whole season again. See what I missed.

Season was okay, but nothing special. 7/10. Slightly disappointed.

No official renewal yet.

Perfectly valid questions, but I'm curious. Is there a reason you're making fun of his accent?

Depends on the accent. I definitely wouldn't say that NY or Bostonian accents are avoided. Was Bill Burr's accent an issue in the Mandalorian? Or if there's a British or any kind of foreign guy in a show they seem to highlight that accent. My favorite accent was Kamina Drummer in the Expanse, because the actor went out of her way to train herself to have a Russian-Chinese-English accent mix and is why she kinda sounds off on a lot of words. There was a really cool interview with her about that, and she clearly had put a lot of thought into it. Did Matthew Mcconaughey's southern drawl ever get called out?

Nope, but there does seem to be an issue here doesn't there. So I ask again, why does the way he says 'ask' bother you so much?
