J'onn J'onzz finally forgiving John Stewart for the events of Cosmic Oddesy. I think it was needed for the both of them.

I never cared about Lanterns before. I thought Hal Jordan was kinda lame. Then I watched Lanterns, and now I'm knee-deep in the mythos because I fucking loved the show. Most of the criticisms of the show are simply "muh, give more constructs," and they're given by comic book fans who i think miss the point of the show.

The show is clearly centered on John Stewart and Hal Jordan as characters and, more importantly, on what it means to be fearless. The two represent different conceptions of willpower, at least initially. Hal Jordan's willpower is one that is born almost out of a bohemian apathy, spurred on by a lack of fear in death. This means that not only is he fearless, but he is willing to go outside orders if it means doing the right thing, with the right thing being determined by his own intuitions. Crucially, his intuitions turn out to be right most of the time. Stewart, on the other hand, clearly does not have that type of willpower. His fearlessness is born out of discipline. He is fearless because he has to be fearless. He simply does what is given to him, no matter how big the challenge. But his willpower doesn't go far enough because, at his base, his autonomy is still limited. It is still tied up in the expectations thrust upon him by other people.

John Stewart's whole arc is him learning to develop his willpower in such a manner as to fully bolster his autonomy: to free his will from external constraints, to not act on programming or on impulses, but to employ higher-order reason-responsiveness to be free from programming. Willpower, in this sense, means acting according to principle rather than having one's actions fundamentally determined by inclination, external authority, or conditioned desires.Stewart is a Kantian. So is Hal Jordan. Both decide to do the right thing not because other people told them to, but because of their own rational agency (refer to the finale of the episode and the conversation between Noah and John).

This is also why I don't understand people who say "muh, it's not a Lanterns, actually, it doesn't have enough constructs," because it is clearly not trying to be action-packed. It is a superhero show, and a Lanterns show by extension, insofar as it's an exploration of what it means to be a Green Lantern. Not evaluating it on its own terms is simply doing it a great disservice.

Anyway, I loved the series, especially the ending. The new oath was something I was not expecting, but it fits so perfectly and beautifully with his character arc.

Anyone?

At the end of the Green Lantern season, Guy warns John that the Guardians will eventually send someone if John doesn't return the ring.

And what if that someone is Katma herself?

In the comics, Katma was chosen to be Sinestro's replacement and trained John to be a Green Lantern.

One thing about her is that her people didn't see the Lanterns as heroes, but as enslavers, since Sinestro tyrannized them, making Katma be seen as an outcast. She even thought about leaving the Corps, but Hal convinced her to stay.

So... she's a character who has a connection with the three most important characters in the series. Season 2 could be about her being sent by the Guardians to watch over John. The two end up needing to ally for something bigger, and she reveals more about Sinestro's past, perhaps mentioning that she knew Hal Jordan, maybe even being mentored by him before?

And the two gradually develop a friendship and then a romance.

The series follows new recruit John Stewart and Lantern legend Hal Jordan, two intergalactic cops drawn into a dark, earth-based mystery.

C’était une menace dissimulé ? Sachant qu’en théorie les gardiens non justement plus de sentiments… Si Sinestro (évader) est le seul à avoir jamais tuer un gardien et à crée la lantern spécifiquement pour cela ,John qu’il l’utilise est fou de leurs faire savoir 😂

Allen Scott and Kyle Rainer don’t count

I really enjoy seeing as a John shrewd peace keeper. Hopefully we'll see it more often.From the 2023 DC Power Special

Just finished my TV show replica of the lantern. I'm really stoked with how it turned out. Just gotta take it apart now and get it ready to paint.
