Lanterns Episode 4: Is anyone telling the truth?(Spoilers!!!!! Actually You probably won't get shit if you haven't seen the episode already, so go watch it and come back, Champ!!)

10 minutes ago

Dim close-up of a man lying in bed, staring upward anxiously; subtitle says Because I feel like everybody's lying to me.

After last weeks pseudo( because it was manufactured by anti woke racists) Disaster, I have to say it was refreshing to see the internet discourse be around somethig else for a cha... oh fuck...

Yeah I would say I shouldn't be giving this more traction than it deserves but I am just a small blogger, this guy is the hot shot with 32 K subs on YouTube!


Anyways, I think it's clear that in this day and age maufactured outrage is quite a big issue in the current media discourse.


And I am kid of sick and tired of it.


I mean how the fuck can you not uderstand that the above scene is weird on purpose?


You are pointing out something the show itself is saying and then calling it a criticism!!!

Four-panel of two men whispering in a dim room; subtitles read Hey, I've seen some shit and Yeah, but this is weird, right?

Ugh.


Let's just move on.


Because inspite of the outrage bullshit, it seems that the overwhelming majority of the Discourse around this episode is about the right things.


The Things that are actually supposed to be paid attention to are beig paid attention to.


Like For eg.


how that abover scene plays completely different now that we know that Zoe is the Manhunter.


But here is the thing, do we know that Macon knows that Zoe is the the Manhunter?


We don't know.


Just like we don't know if Hal actually filed paper work saying that John Lacks Creativity.

Dark bedroom scene: woman faces a man as subtitles read Jordan has filed multiple reports; tense mood.

I mean that seems engineered to annoy him in particular.


Like lets be honest, if Hal filed this, this would ever officially reach John right?


HE DOESN'T KNOW JOHN'S LISTENNING!!!!


And if Hal wanted or cared to make John look bad in front of the Guardians(which he clearly doesn't) then why would he use creativity???


The Guardians don't give a shit about that!!


Also this just Doesn't sound like Hal!!!


I call bullshit on you Leanna! I call Bullshit.


Speaking of Bullshit.


Zoe Died(No she didn't)

Man seen from behind on a motel walkway at night, facing a blinding orange flare with parked cars and a glowing motel sign.

Now I rewatched this scene multiple times, and I am CONVINCED that this whole thing was planed, I mean John knew this would happen, Zoe told him, he didn't have a gut feeling, he KNEW.


And give his love for Zoe, he lead Hal away and towards Hector Hammond and his silly lasers that kill everyone.


And if you know Hammond from the last movie as well as in the comics, then those humans working while Ignoring Hal and John should be sending some serious Red Flags of Mind Control your way.

Split image: comic of Hector Hammond tortured by alien figures and Green Lantern poster of a man holding glowing energy, intense mood

But at this point DC's Modok/Leader doesn't seem to be very M.O.D.O.K./ Leader as in neither does he have a big head

Blonde woman faces dark-haired man in a rustic shop; text reads MY GOD, THAT'S A BIG HEAD. and executive story editors credits.
No! Not That one.

And Neither does he seem to have any mind control powers.


At least not on Hal ad John and My bro isn't even a Green Lantern Yet!


But You know what I think Antaan isn't Atrocitus, he is the Man Hunter Grand Master, that thing he injected into John's head isn't some pity story, it is a warning, don't cross us or else...


And Zoe... she wet Rogue, and the reason these Manhuters aren't going boom is because they are planning something larger, playing the longer game, and they don't want attention to themselves, and Zoe is making things harder...


Now watch as I am prove wrong in less than an Hour... yes, that's how late I am writing this...


But that leaves me with, wtf is Macon doing here?


And wtf are those guns?

Three armed men in a dim room hold glowing weapons; subtitle reads WEAPONS HUM SHARPLY.

Well there is a theory online that William Macon is actually William Hand meaning, these guns are probably based on the Cosmic Diving rod that he uses in the comics to drain the Green Lantern rings of power.


Now Granted William "Black" Hand made that himself in the comics and here this is potentially with the help of the Manhunter(s)(there could be more than one right we never know! I mean what about Noah and his Father?????!!!!)


But then what's with the Black Smoke?


Well, the weapons do glow yellow(So everyone says, but it looks white to me idk!) so that's how they probably turn the green rings off as the color yellow has that effect on people, but, it seems more like this is a universal ring turn off thing.


This is the Black light/smoke of death, or the Absence of the emotional spectrum.


You see in the comics, Black Hand is called upon to kill himself and given the Black Ring of Death to become the Vessel for Necron the Lord of the Undead.

Comic-style armored monster lunges in blue-green darkness, shouting beside glowing orb; text says life favors some and others.

You see Lanterns is a reference to the Fact that there are more than one color of Lanterns and it seems highly likely that we will see at least one more corps by the end of this season that being the Yellow Lanterns of the Sinestro Corps.


A Corps made to Rival the Guardians and Green Lanterns by Sinestro when he was banished to the Anti-Matter Universe by the Guardians on the Anti-Matter equivalent of OA called Qward where the Anti-Matter version of the Guardians or the Weaponners crafted the first Yellow Rings.


And it seems in some of the Future episodes we will be visiting that planet, specifically this clip here where John and the Halogram are on this Yellow planet in 2026 timeline.

Silhouetted people walking on a reflective beach at sunset, with a crescent moon in a golden sky.

And it seems that the 2016 timeline is concluding in the next episode providing some much needed context for the 2026 one and we will then go on to see other Lanterns in 2026, but that is important cause the emergence of other corps of the emotional spectrum only means one thing: the War of Light leading to the Blackest Night Prophecy where dead heroes rise as Black Lanterns


and who else is the first black Lantern But...


William " Black" Hand.


He is even mentioned in the oath(Presumably)


"The Blackest Night Falls From The Sky,

The Darkness Grows as all light dies,

We crave your hearts and your demise,

By my Black Hand,

The Dead Shall Rise"


And some versions online say "Be My Black Hand" and while that sounds more sinister almost like you are casting a spell o someone that is kind of the reason I don't really by that version as the oaths are meant to recharge a single bearers ring and not choose the next lantern or impose lantern-hood on someone else...


Seems to me more like someone online just made an oopsie or had a Bernstain Bears situation of the Mandella effect or probably just thought it sounded cooler without thinking through it much I don't know...


Look What I do know is that according to the Lantern's Podcast John never gets Hal's Rig, Guy does, and that means what everyone is probably thinking that the Guardians got pissed at John for not takin the mantle when he was told clearly to and so they just cast him out, which sucks for him cause his parents gon hate him now, and sucks for the lanterns cause they loosing his Tom Cruise Run!

Person with backpack runs along a highway shoulder as cars blur past; subtitle reads MUSIC BUILDS.

And there you go! I said it! I mentioned the meme which will probably be done to death like Tom Cruise's was, but hey, it never gets old so I ain't complaining.


But speaking of episode two, wtf was that sound mixing at the end?


Like Tennet had better sound mixing than that shit and somehow every breakdown channel was like, SINESTRO its THAAL SINESTRO and not the fact that without subtitles(which is what first revealed Antaan's name btw) you can't hear/understand/comprehend shit!!!


I mean yeah I know we hear this again in this episode, I know that!


I mean even I didn't mention that out of fear of Embarrassment, which like, fuck that, I gotta be more confident for pete's sakes!!

Concerned man in a white shirt in a dark, sci-fi-lit room; subtitle reads, So why don't you tell me about John Stewart?

Also, maybe they fixed it now, maybe I misremembered, or maybe it was Ambani's Shitty Jio Company interfering with shit again which was later corrected, as we here in India don't get Max or HBO or Disney Plus, they are all combined into Jio Hot Star, Formerly Disney Plus Hot Star and Formerly to that Hot Star when Star was under fox yet to be Acquired by Disney.


But now Everything is under Ambani, hey anyone his son's fat face on that bridge?!?

Nighttime lit pyramid by water displays a man's portrait and HAPPY BIRTHDAY text in blue and white.

And before Anyone gets mad, here by Fat I mean Giant as in it covered the whole fucking Bridge and Fat simply sounds funnier in a sentence, also I share this man's(Anant's) Birthday and I am also Fat so even if I call him Fat its okay, because that's how that works(o it doesn't!).


But anyways, I said what I had to.


one evidence for Antaan's group being Red Lanterns or Future Red Lanterns is the fact that they can explode and Red Lanterns crave vengeance so much that they spew their own blood as corrosive napalm... so hey, maybe Waylon is still alive, who knows! The Manhunter has a whole tow defending her and she is also probably Hal's dead body in the future, I guess we will have to see won't we, I guess we will have to see.....
