Guys I just had a fantasy visual in my mind that I would like to share with you. Okay so use your imagination and pretend that you’re at the 2015 San Diego Comic Book Convention. You and the many audience members are awaiting an announcement from DC/WB when all of a sudden the lights go out and everyone in the room is wondering what’s going on. A security staff member then says to the crowd “everyone please remain calm as we find out the source of the power outage”. The audience starts chatting loudly while pulling out their cell phones for lighting. Then all of a sudden everyone’s attention is directed towards the stage as two of the comic con staff roll out a huge object roughly 8 feet tall in height and it’s width is like the average door. Green lights begin to flicker from this large object. The flickering lights remind you of being in a nightclub. Then you hear a voice loudly say into a microphone…”in brightest day…in blackest night…no evil shall escape my sight…let those who worship evils might…beware my power…GREEN LANTERN’S LIGHT!” Then all of a sudden a huge green beam of light comes from the large 8 foot tall object and the Green Lantern symbol appears on the large screen projector on the stage. The lights in the room come back on and a person walks across the stage smiling and waving at the audience while sporting a GL ring and green contact lenses. The 8 foot tall object that everyone notices is a green lantern power battery.The crowd goes wild to see that this is the actor who will be playing Green Lantern as he walks off the stage and director Zack Snyder then comes out and sits down at the table to discuss what everyone saw and to answer questions.

So what do you guys think about a John Stewart announcement made in that fashion?

I posted those romance videos as not only a tribute to our hero, but to show further evidence that John is far from the claims of the few who call John, boring, dull, uninteresting and whatever adjective that they could come up with to further their false claims. If John was any of those things he wouldn’t have bagged not one but two women on the same team. You go stud! If he were that boring, funny man Flash wouldn’t have taken to him. If he were that lame, his voice would go unheard even among the smartest hero in their unit (Batman). If he were any of what the minority of people say that he is, why would John’s legacy grow even more now after a decade has past since his presence in the animated series? Not even his comic book presence gave him so much of a push in the hearts and minds of the masses. And now multiple social media outlets are asking for him to be on the big screen. And yet some wonder how he became COTM and find it hard to fathom how he’s even popular. They talk about the animated series as if it shouldn’t have taken place all because Hal wasn’t used. They talk about his creation as being an affirmative action insertion. And his inclusion in the animated series to fulfill an invisible quota. And whether that be true, false or half and half, John’s character made the most he had with the little opportunity that he was given, and has made a positive impact both along racial lines as well as a representative of the GL corps. and still there are those who try so hard to diminish every last one of his accomplishments as if we’re all a fluke and he shouldn’t have ever been created to begin with.

Desh, at first I thought that it were possible for all GL fans to get the lanterns that they want on the big screen together. But I can see that isn’t enough for the Hal Jordan fans. They want to see John subservient to Hal’s every beacon call. They want him as a sidekick and a rookie as compared to Hal. They want him to be in Hal’s shadow. Basically they want John’s role in the DCCU to be exactly the same as Geoff Johns’ GL run. The good thing is that the movie studios don’t give two rats asses about staying true to the comics source material both on the DC and Marvel side. I thought that we could all come to a happy medium, as all GL fans could get what we want, but they want more than just Hal appearing on screen, they either don’t want John in it at all, or they want him to look like he’s Kunta Kinte. Well, enough is enough I supported Hal to get another chance to be on big screen later on down the line, but now I don’t want to see him at all. I’ll only support a casting of Guy &/or Kyle.
