Why did the first episode kinda give the impression that the mom was dead or otherwise out of the picture? And the Dad seemed so much more rigid and uncaring in the first ep as well.

thought John was about to accidentally kill his mom

the whole "they dont see us cuz we're black in America" theme fell kinda flat for me

would have landed better if John Stewart's family was impoverished and that could have informed their outlook. but instead his family looked cushy upper-middle class with a big ass house and with his dad being a Marine makes the whole thing comes off as forced commentary.

i also didn't quite understand his mom's obsession with raising him to be a Lantern. like to what end? both his parents seem absolutely insane and i hope they explore the psychological impact of that on John. they robbed a kid of his childhood to get him to potentially become a GL. but based on his last interaction with his mom this episode, I feel like they won't go down that road.

Kyle Chandler and Aaron Pierre together really carry this show. most of the episode felt boring but the minute Chandler was back on screen, its like show got all its life back.

The parents being like that hit with me when you look at Joe Jackson, the Williams sisters dad etc, who u can't really separate from the context of racist ass society also. These crazy parents really exist. Maybe coulda done better by showing rather than just having the mom say it tho so I get what people mean by that felt forced. But absolutely comes from something real.

That’s what i’m saying, it may be underwhelming to some because he was just abused but that’s the reality of military and family relations, traditions and honor. That’s why he so stoic.

we about to see something similar with jason in gta6 maybe. Since many people online are already complaining about that

Nah I wouldn't say that at all. It's definitely better than other superhero TV shows but it's not anything groundbreaking. The pace is also being stretched out like a mf. Maybe this was better off as just a movie

This is the most talked about show out there, there's a reason that people watch an episode and it makes you want to have a discussion about it
