@JohnnyRedguy @yarmiganosca @decaf_reads The writer on this episode said it's not the writers' job to defend those characters. She said she's just showing how that character would react in their perspective. She even said YOU DON'T HAVE TO AGREE WITH THEM.

Have you even watched Vanessa Baden's interviews?

@ThanosWasRighte @brow84492 @skip_super @sylabdul but but space aliens called Hal a bigot in the comics lol

[Radar Sensory @JoeGuy812374]

@Matt89940365266 @jab_ari @lanocty @sylabdul I think it's stupid to think it was a test in the first place. John sr. didn't know what it was and it's intentions.

[Radar Sensory @JoeGuy812374]

@FBPolitic @UpToTASK Based on what? I'm looking at the HBO Max top 10 series today and it still has Lanterns at #1.

@anthonyrose110 @NotThatJonny @haljordantampon @Donn9pm @KingYosh_2 It was a black woman who wrote this episode. I personally think it was a good episode.

@Mike16Bit @IGN Gunn's contract just got extended, so he's not getting replaced.

Read John's first appearance, Mosaic, Zero Year (his mother was a Civil Rights advocate), and John's origin in Kyle Rayner's book. All talk about race.

@ComicsLeagueJT @ryanandfish Mark Waid's New History of the universe doesn't retcon anything. It only says John was chosen. Doesn't mean that the guardians never handpicked picked him.

And besides, in Batman/Superman world's finest, it literally says John was chosen by the guardians.

[Radar Sensory @JoeGuy812374]

@ComicsLeagueJT @ryanandfish This is absolutely false. John was literally handpicked by the guardians. John's first appearance and his origins after the New 52 shows this

[Radar Sensory @JoeGuy812374]

@kittycatnjoyer4 @greensapphir3 Nope, the show runners and Aaron Pierre confirmed that John is an architect and not just a Marine.

[Radar Sensory @JoeGuy812374]

@CeltiC527 @dantemendes @hayasaka_aryan Yeah, this version is portrayed as more of an old Lantern dead beat. That seems like angle they're going for here.

[Radar Sensory @JoeGuy812374]

We're talking about the case in Lanterns. The story is literally built on Hal being a long established veteran, who's paired with a younger recruit. The casting wasn't a random actor, who just happened to be middle aged. Their age differences clearly highlights the experience gap and an end of an era beginning a new one. Their age differences is a key part of their dynamic. It contributes to the quality of the writing whether you agree with it or not (which is fine).

[Radar Sensory @JoeGuy812374]

Yes it is. Part of the credited writing is making Hal old and a long established veteran, so he can be replaced by a younger recruit. That is the core of the series. When people are crediting the writing (as you pointed out), they're also crediting that decision.

You can't separate the choice of Hal being old from the good writing.

@will1ams_1 @nikeyspace Tom Holland has been talking about passing the torch in an interview. It's probably Miles here

[Radar Sensory @JoeGuy812374]

@oluwaseun7g @welovesweetboy_ Exactly. Tobey Maguire being revealed isn't even a shocker.

[Radar Sensory @JoeGuy812374]

Personally when I started reading Captain America comics back in the day, Falcon never really appealed to me. I always thought of him as a supporting mediocre character at best. But when he took the cap mantle, I started seeing him everywhere in Marvel. He was literally treated like some A-lister. It just shows Marvel can turn a mediocre character into an appealing character when done right. Not sure if him only being "Falcon" can reach that level, since I'm sure people already perceived him as a supporting character. I thought him taking the mantle did way better than Bucky imo. But that's my opinion.

@Phenomm_ @DarylTa73224270 Definitely War Journal

[Radar Sensory @JoeGuy812374]

@comicaccuracy @grok @comicaccuracy2 @jay_j926 @kr1shnaaustin @PetiteLolax Yes, which it actually did.

[Radar Sensory @JoeGuy812374]

And one other thing to note: Merrian-Webster cites Alice Walker's quote on the same page from the source that you screenshotted. The writer who actually COINED the term. Her definition reads: prejudicial or preferential treatment of same-race people based solely on the color of their skin. The term LITERALLY came from her and she defined it as neutral and bidirectional. She invented the term and didn't restrict it to one direction. There's no way around that.

[Radar Sensory @JoeGuy812374]

In fact, Verywell Mind even talks about Zoe Saldana not being dark enough as an example of colorism. This example literally aligns with the case with your problem Aaron Pierre. Accusing a Black actor not being dark enough for a Black role. That article LITERALLY treats that as a case of colorism.
