🚨 SPOILER WARNING: This episode contains major spoilers for HBO’s Lanterns. In this episode of Simo Speaks, Coach (Of The Block 8 podcast, formerly known as the Shirtless Plaintain show) joins me and we explore John Stewart’s emotional origin story and the bold choices reshaping Green Lantern mythology for the new DCU. We discuss our first introductions to Green Lantern, from John Stewart’s undeniable aura in Justice League to the sense of representation offered by characters like Static Shock and Jaime Reyes’ Blue Beetle.  Then we get into the episode’s biggest questions: Did Lanterns make a brilliant statement by killing Hal Jordan in the premiere—or sacrifice a major DC hero far too soon? Is John Stewart genuinely fearless, or was he conditioned from childhood to suppress fear, anger and vulnerability? Does the grounded, True Detective-style presentation strengthen the mythology, or prevent the series from embracing the cosmic imagination of the comics? Who is the Manhunter? After seeing how John was raised, how should we feel about his parents and their expectations? Let us know in the comments: Are you enjoying this interpretation of Green Lantern, and was killing Hal Jordan the right decision? 🎙️ Subscribe for more conversations about Lanterns, the DCU, movies, television and everything in between.
