I'm not a big comic reader but what's the deal with Green Lantern being weak to wood out of curiosity and is that still a thing (I can't decide if that's better or worse than him being weak to the color yellow)?

The Golden Age GLs ring was useless against wood. When GL was revamped in the Silver Age they just changed it to anything yellow.

Decades later there was a backstory invented to give a reason but at the time it was just "superhero needs a weakness"

Because yeah, it's goofy seeing him getting knocked out by a falling picture frame or whatever, but I feel like those moments would land a lot differently if he shrugged off gunfire to drive home that wood is the ring's *only* weakness.

I get that the RING shouldn't work on wooden items, but often it seems that Alan Scott gets taken down by blunt trauma that would take down a non-GL-ring-powered person. Admittedly, getting decked by a picture frame that isn't wrapped around a 3mx5m Flemish oil painting of food with a tiny biblical scene in the background is pretty piss-weak.

Eh, depending on origin it always seemed like the high council took the stance of "Maybe you're right Jor-El, and Krypton is doomed. But either way we don't want a panic and max exodus, so no launching large space craft, otherwise it will make people ask too many questions, and any way we're kind of a suicide cult." "Ugh. Fine...What about small, exploration units that could maybe fit a baby?" "I see nothing objectionable about that. Carry on." Mr. Maltose posted:“Who loves orange soda? Kal-El loves orange soda.” Fantastic

Isn't cold chicken a classic picnic food? I don't know, the whole tableau seems ok to me with the caveat that I wouldn't personally want chicken or soda. I think crudite and fresh fruit with another finger-food type thing is perfectly fine for a picnic.

It's actually a genius move by Superman to figure out how posh and pretentious Lois is. If she is too hoity-toity for congealed chicken skin and IGA orange soda then he can move on.
