This is very well said. The episode was superb.

[The MontyVerse @TheMontyVerse]

The Beauty of Episode 3 of Lanterns is the nuance.

Everyone is wrong: John, John’s Parents, The Guardians, Hal.

Told from John's POV, we see how he was raised in an abusive household with the show framing that abuse from the POV of the victim.

John’s parents use fear of racial prejudice as a tool to abuse their son into becoming a green lantern. Racism is real and affects so many people. However, the ring is explicitly portrayed as having chosen John's father before Hal.

The show tells us in that opening scene why the ring chose Hal and why Hal is fearless: he watched his father explode in front of him as a child in a plane and Hal overcame that fear and became a pilot just like him. Hal is equally as fucked up by trauma.

What we also see in that scene is the Stewarts' refusal to acknowledge Hal’s humanity or identity because they won’t let John watch his interview.

This show is looking to exam race, racism, and racial prejudice from multiple angles all while honoring the main themes of legacy and fear.

There is so much going on in this episode and it asks a deep level of critical thinking from its audience. I can’t wait for John and Hal to eventually trauma bond and gain respect for each other.

@Oyinkansolaoo For real for real? Or is it the overwhelming marketing campaign at work here? I haven’t seen it yet.

As a country, let’s be wiser moving forward. Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn't mean politics won't take an interest in you.

[Doctuche @lidocaine_v2]

Our children are getting “duller” and education standards plummeting. Can you tie this to “our” political choices or do I need to spell it out for you?

Poor nutrition, poor remuneration for teachers, abandoned public schools, ridiculous budget for education ministry, corruption.

@Kbronproyectado Being immortal is different from being invincible no?

I don’t have a problem with people like this as long as they also have zero interest in knowing what’s happening in your life.

One thing I I have learned is that a lot of Nigerians don’t tie their struggles to the dysfunctional system in Nigeria, they think it’s the devil or something
