Cleretic posted:There's an episode of Arrow that's about gun control, and it's kind of stunning how blatant it gets about this issue in one episode, tying it to a new-ish character's backstory (who is a minority, funnily enough), and not only doesn't touch it again but also never connects it to the show's main concepts, like how the protagonist is a vigilante with a deadly weapon.

Green Lantern watched Speedy do heroin for like an hour, just waiting for Arrow to show up so he can be smug at him. This is why everyone hates Green Lantern.

on point. i hated captain planet as a kid because it talked so far down. rocko may not have planted the seeds of my pro-union environmentalist leanings, but i'll be damned if the episode where he fills in for his boss and turns into a gross greedy monster didn't water the hell out of them, and that recycle song still goes through my head every time i'm putting something in the bin rocko kicked rear end

R-E-C-Y-C-L-E, recycle! C-O-N-S-E-R-V-E, conserve. Don’t you P-O-L-L-U-T-E, pollute the river, sky, or sea or else you’re gonna get what you deserve! Goddamn. I think that’ll be stuck in my brain until the day I die.

Cleretic posted:That episode also ends with an attempt to make both sides happy by passing gun control legislation that's explicitly stated makes it no harder to buy, own, or use guns, so I'm not sure what it actually does. Which in retrospect might be the most realistic part of the entire run of Arrow.

The reason Hal calls him Pie Face is super racist. "You're an Eskimo? I like Eskimo Pies, I'm going to call you Pie Face!" Fun fact, in the Ryan Reynolds Green Lantern movie Thomas Kalmaku was played by Taika Waititi.

Don't forget the time Hal Jordan shacked up with a 13 year old alien! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arisia_Rrab quote:After being stationed on Earth with Jordan and confronted with their age difference she subconsciously uses her power ring to age herself so that she and Jordan can be together.

Thanks to the Justice League cartoon John Stewart seems to have more mainstream clout than Hal, but DC still pushes the racist pedophile.
