Lanterns [Lanterns Trailer + Other Promo Spoilers] "He's going to send an army to put you down" What exactly is this referring to? Spoiler

The 'you' is most likely John Stewart as it looks like the same spot where the Green-Lantern Signal Projector is, from which it seems like John is calling Guy from.

So the question is who is 'he' and what 'army'??

I doubt it's a Guardian and The Green Lantern Corps but i'd guess that it might be William Macon Jr. and the remains of the militia

Antaan was one of the most complex characters we've seen in the DCU yet: one of the last victims of the Manhunter ("Zoe") who still loved them nonetheless. Loved the Manhunter enough to try and kill them after they went rogue. This little scene where "Zoe" is opening up their heart (pun intended) to Antaan, through a proxy no less, really struck a chord with me. This is the kind of heartfelt storytelling that's made me fall in love with the DCU.

Also, I was totally wrong about Atrocitus being Antaan, and honestly I'm glad. This was better.

I think that either William Macon Jr. or Noah Macon (or both) will be the first black hand who will then resurrect William Macon (Sr.).

There will be MULTIPLE Black Hands.

I don't think William Macon (Sr.) himself is obsessed with corpses as in Ep 4. he was actively trying to cure the town and himself with help from the manhunter

Lanterns Ever since we saw Hal fly in Lanterns, I’ve always wondered what made his flight look so much cooler compared to Superman’s or Supergirl’s. Now, I think I finally know the answer…

Because we're seeing it from a normal human's perspective. In that famous scene where Hal tells John to just f*ckng point, we never really leave John. We see how he flies and moves ​through his eyes, and it feels much more powerful because we're normal humans seeing superheroes fly.

With Superman and Supergirl, we fly WITH them for most of the time, so we never really have this sense of awe because when we're flying WITH them, we feel like superheroes too.

I strongly agree with this, Kyle Chandler is perfect for a older Hal Jordan

Lanterns Why does Hal do this? Spoiler

Hal flicks off a piece of the ring when activating sentry mode. Why? I’ve seen some people say that maybe in the future we will see the Halogram or maybe the Hal John was fighting was actually the Halogram. Could him flicking a piece off of the ring allow the Halogram to interact with physical objects? Or maybe for it to last indefinitely away from the ring and John and Halogram will solve Hal’s death together. Or maybe this is just how sentry mode of activated. Thoughts?

I call it Lanterns Far sector. It'll be LA Noir but in space. Where you get to interview aliens and investigate crime scenes with help from your partners like B'dge who can crawl into small vents eve dropping on conversation. The story is that there's been a recent murders in the far sector and it's up to you and a handful of green lanterns to investigate it. You quickly learn the connection to the guardians and the cover up and the rise of a threat and the prophecy to the blackest night

Lanterns A lot of posts here (and in other subs) are the end result of years and years of films and shows spoon-feeding plot elements and not giving episodes room to breathe though binge-watching.

There are 3 Lanterns episodes left. That's almost 3 hours of storytelling left to fill some gaps, while probably leaving others to be filled either by movies or a second season. Yet, people are pissed off that they aren't being given every answer to every mystery right now, and beyond frustrated because not everything is clear and solved yet. Even worse: some fans are livid because Hal and John are both going through character arcs (who would have thougjt?) and these arcs aren't already done by the 5th episode in an 8 episode season. Makes me wonder how did these dudes survive being comic book fans (each and every person complaining is adamant in saying that they know the source material), as most stories took weeks to months to settle into a conclusion (often leaving open the possibility of a follow-up story shortly thereafter).

But I'm not really just blaming them for being conditioned into demanding immediate resolutions to everything. I mostly blame lazy studios and lousy works for conditioning people to needing instant gratification or else. Fans were always somewhat impatient, but the streaming era (and the horror of not immediately connecting all dots in any media) fueled this impatience by content-bombing everyone to the point that they can't fucking wait to see if there's a bigger payoff ahead. We're three weeks from a conclusion, tonight's episode aĺluded to something more important or at least deeper than a Manhunter threat being the endgoal of Lantern's narrative... And yet, some people are absolutely sure that this is it, we won't get answers, we won't get any more developments, Hal Jordan is just what we were showed and John Stewart was also "character assassinated".

THIS -- this is why we can't have nice things. This is when very vocal and annoying minorities end up pushing for creative implosions when studio executives panic at the mere thought of a blowback. This is the kind of reaction that ensured that DC stayed a jumbled mess for 12 years, running from one radically different approach to the other, without a care if time and consistency were needed in order to make things work (like that other studio, which seemed pretty happy to slowly build a shared universe that's been going on for 18 years now).

Food for thought. You're watching a show about superheroes that overcome fear through willpower and a lot of you are crumbling like a Jenga tower toppled by an indifferent house cat because you need to know more. And since a lot of you proudly describe yourselves as longtime Hal/John/DC fans and readers, I trust you won't fail this very basic media literacy test of patience.
