@ESPNNBA@kendricklamar 2015 = Kyrie and Love injured
2017 = KD joins a 73-9 team and Zaza assassinates Kawhi to pave the way
2018 = Same plus more injuries
2022 = More injuries and the easiest path ever, maybe even more than when KD was there
@EisakuOtomo The complete deconstruction of existing characters with lore for decades in service of basic race relations and elementary motifs on prejudice, privilege, mental illness, etc., are not juvenile things to complain about. It's why modern media does it because it's a magical shield
@TychoBrahe "If you don't like the complete deconstruction of existing characters with lore for decades in service of basic race relations and elementary motifs on prejudice, privilege, mental illness, etc., then you are stupid. Consume product, don't question anything, consume. Beep boop"
@LeanandCuisine The best part about this is you literally typed out the fact that John Stewart's mom talks to one of the Guardians of the Green Lantern Corp. about blackness and not only was it not satire, but you unironically got off on it, that's beyond racism you're just retarded lmao
@lunwi75@KintsugiTembo That's not a mistake, the subverting expectations Rian Johnson influence is heavy with this, Hal is going the exact same Luke Skywalker/ The Last Jedi deconstruction, slight redemption and dusted away forever to "uplift" the new protagonist process
@Hssan__Sadiq@Nichola24370291@JamesGunn@hbomax "He's going to return as a villain in a desperate comic book storyline editorial created from decades ago so he can be deconstructed more than he already has in service of John"
He's still getting dusted away but yeah call people Larpers with a fucking Miles avatar
@MASTER_1_CHIEF The thing someone like you isn't getting is there's way better, intelligent subtle ways of presenting these ideas, it's not everyone is some nazi chud it's just the dialogue is so hamfisted with those ideas that you feel like you're watching a high budget CW show, hence "woke"
@KingYosh_2 "If you have any criticisms of the motifs, characterization, or creative liberties being taken with the writing for an IP with lore that has existed for decades, you are a racist or any other ad hominem plug in for "x", consume product and praise, beep boop"
@MyEyesDecieveMe@PopCultureCrash@DCUBrief Absolute pivoting and coping, the motif is there to establish there's more to Hal and the fear related to his loneliness and his dad, but the show is directly drilling the white privilege element with the ring and the plight of being black in SPITE of his parents' mental illness
@JuanEditzs Hal is getting dusted away for sure and you are never getting that ever, the best you can hope for is Parallax and he would still be killed/dusted away after that anyways
@hbomax Hal was never going to have an accurate cool suit, they purposely wanted to make it like this so John gets to have the modern sleek one, really unfortunate they wont allow us to have all of them at one time
@Lvl100Sudowoodo@DCUBrief Are you people like you going to realize that does not automatically make it good? Congrats you can read the basic visual subtext, metaphors, motifs, etc., who gives a fuck, that does not automatically make it immune from criticism, especially with presetablished characters/lore
