How come only minority legacy characters get any page time these days...

How come only minority legacy characters get any page time these days? DC is actively trying to make us forget about the white legacies.

Overcompensating for decades of only white dudes being important.

Its the sort of thing where it wouldn't be such a big deal if there was more coordination on the matter, but comics are a shitshow so everyone is trying to be different by introducing a non-white legacy character, but its not actually 'different' because everyone else is doing the exact same thing.

>Various white Robins still around in books
>Jon Kent, Connor Kent still around in books
>Cassie Sandsmark around in book
>Kara Danvers still around
>Roy Harper still around
>Freddie and Mary still around
>WTF?! Why are they pushing Jess when she's not white?!
Jess is a good character, user.

Roy is dead faggot. Also you named side kicks.

Sidekicks are legacies.

Fuck your bait thread. All the Lanterns get ample panel time

Do we need a thread about the worst GL literally every single day? She sucks, we know, get over it.

That’s not Kyle

Yeah, only legacies allowed are sidekicks and even then they rarely get any page time.

You're right, it's Jessica. If it was Kyle it wouldn't be the worst GL you see, since that's Jessica.

>worst lantern
Oh are we talking about guy?

>Do we need a thread about the worst GL literally every single day?
Please link these daily John Stewart threads, I've never seen them.

we don't need all the Robins. Dick should be deaged into being Robin

This, guy blows

The main (and I think only current) "Green Lantern" book is about Hal Jordan, the 2nd white Lantern. Just about every major character that started out as white, still have their own titles.

Come to think it, DC doesn't have any POC characters leading their own books, or major ones, right now. Note: I said major; Naomi & Silencer doesn't count.

So, in other words, bait thread.

Yet still isn't the worst GL. It's amazing how many superfluous ones there are.

Shit opinion, and there’s only ever ONE Robin at a time anyway

OP is a faggot that doesn’t even read GL

shes perfectly fine you stupid fuck
>wah how come my superheroes arent all white

Jess has quickly risen to my top three lanterns list

the second best being Kyle and the best one being Guy Gardner

Jessica is cute

>Come to think it, DC doesn't have any POC characters leading their own books, or major ones, right now. Note: I said major; Naomi & Silencer doesn't count.


to be fair, scott snyder JL has jon stewart, cyborg, hawkgirl, and martian manhunter. id like to see more diverse superheroes in the justice league.

I really like her existential fear of everything because I've gotten so used to the 'Green lanterns don't fear period' versus 'overcoming great fear'

Agreed

Just imagine how tight that pussy must be

Her introduction was well done

Attached: jessica.jpg (1041x1600, 426K)

I'd do the same if it cut down on the hate mail.

Baz is worse.

I've looked for her introduction, isn't it buried in some event?

Earth has too many Lanterns as it is.
Keep Hal, Guy, and John and axe the rest.

>isn't it buried in some event?
I don't think so I just know it's in Justice League and basically right after Forever Evil like JUSTICE LEAGUE 2011 issue 30 is where you would find it

She was in Justice League 31 of New 52. She originally had Power Ring’s (Earth 3) ring. She eventually broke free from Volthoom and got a GL ring

>got a GL ring
didn't that ring still have Volthoom in it? I remember there was something about that in her book with Simon "most boring gl ever" Baz

Fuck you, Baz is sorely underrated as s character and foil to jessica. Their buddy cop duo is what propelled Jessica to the top in the first place.

> pushing legacy minority heroes.

RIGHT....

If that was the case pic related would have been promoted, but well you know the tale.

the fact that Cass slipped into BoP does make karma pretty glorious. Didio's face at being forced to promote her will be hilarious.

Attached: 1385093143501.png (413x322, 255K)

I won't say Baz is bad per say but god is he boring Baz is the "John Stewart" of Green Lanterns

Simon is only good in the context of his relationship with Jess. Otherwise he's superfluous like John and Kyle.

>Various white Robins still around in books
???
Only Dick.
Damian isn't white, Jason was race-swapped. Oh right, there is Tim in YJ.

>Roy

How to tell you...

No Power Rings ring had Volthoom

Volthoom came back to try to make her Power Ring again (apparently anyone who's been Power Ring get's their soul trapped inside after they die, but Jess didn't so he wanted to claim her) but Baz helped her through it. She has been encouraging her own GL ring to have it's own personality, so it's becoming sort of the anti-Volthoom

>worst GL

That would be Teen Lantern.

She isn't even a GL, I bet she just bought a knock off power battery from the chinese

Fuck you.And fuck you too. Baz is not boring, the problem is people don't appreciate him.

Attached: RCO016_1496826217.jpg (1041x1600, 466K)

Baz is technically the worst due to only having cars and a pistol to his character thus far.

Teen Lantern doesn’t count, but is no less shit.

>I said major
You have a book, you are a major.
Also:
>what is Wildstrom
>what is literally all the heroes that was replaced or raceswapped into minorities and are leads in team books

>pistol
not even that one anymore

That training made no sense

>uh you have to force yourself to think like someone else in order to be a GL

That's not how it works, people makes construct of what is familiar to them, wasting time with "What would Kyle do?" will kill you in battle.

>Jessica isn't in an ongoing right now
>Hal has an ongoing entirely to himself
The bait would be more effective if OP actually read the comic book.

He dropped the pistol gimmick not even a third into the Vol. 5 run. Batman was going full NOT MUH, but he raised a lot of good points on the ring not fully working when the user doesn't believe in it 100% -- alluding to what happened with Abin Sur when Qull planted doubt in his head. The biggest issue is that he never got development outside of that. He's just the usual, run-of-the-mill Lantern member in the same way B'dg and Galius Zed are.

No he got the gun back after letting cyborg superman free

It's about being less rigid and more on your feet quickthinking.

Justice League Odyssey?

Is that not a mini?

I don't think so

because liberals want to ruin every single thing that white men like
they don´t care how many hobbits they have to ruin as long as they can make white men unhappy.
as a result comic sales have been going down for years

Guy>Hal>old!Kyle>Jessica>current!kyle>baz>john.

Hal over guy and that list is perfect. Though Gug and Ark buddy cop is the best GL thing ever

I am okay with this and I don't even like Guy that much.

Attached: guy-2.png (618x970, 1022K)

Guy reminds me of John Cena

Wally got turned into a cliche black kid. He use to a be fun, energetic, smooth talking red head

>He doesn't know.

You know Hal has a main run right now,

Jess got relegated to a justice League book that’s teetering on the edge of Cancellation, Kyle was just in Titans, and John is in main JL book the only two we haven’t seen are Guy and Simon

Fuck Kyle Rayner.
Guy was space Jesus like 3-4 times and I still couldn't bring myself to care about him.

Know what?

OG Wally is back but he's being character assassinated right now.

OG Wally has been back for 3 years, user.

Holy Fuck you’re behind

Because you're an idiot that hasn't bothered reading any of volume 3.

It's so irrelevant it basically is.

Why does she have a lantern symbol over her eye?

Green Lantern isn't a "legacy" concept, you literal retard. It's a fucking TEAM.

>Green Lanter CORPS

to me it's like GI JOE, the more the merrier

Every lantern needs a signature. It’s merely an aesthetic choice
>Hal has white gloves
>John was the first Earth Lantern to refuse a mask and is boring
>Guy has a leather jacket
>Kyle has a gay little outfit because as an artist he’s obnoxious
>Baz has his cowl
>Jess’s eye thingie

To add on to this:

>Hal always has the standard Corps uniform with a mask to (initially) keep his identity a secret.
>John doesn't wear a mask because he doesn't give a shit, and he doesn't wear the gloves because he "had to get his hands dirty" on the Mosaic.
>Kyle's outfit and crab mask are heavily based on the 90's manga-style wave which was very popular with artists at the time. Those gauntlets that he wears are actually arm braces.

Also: you're a fag. Get some taste.

>Look at me, I'm from the OUTRAGE part of Twitter!
I bet you think Hulk is still just Asian too.

Is it a legacy character if they dont actually take the mantle of the previous character?

Ayo hol up...

>making light constructs
I seriously hope you guys don't do this

In all fairness that person was obsessed with Green Lantern ever since he saw Hal getting that talking-to about the whole "back skins" spiel. His entire room was plastered in newspaper clippings, drawings, and merchandise. Hal still had has his infamous bad luck then and ran into him answering a wanted ad in the newspaper for a test pilot.

You misunderstand, I don't like Kyle either. I was talking about John.

Fuck off antiKyle fag

Is there anything interesting about John? He'sgot zero personality aside from "military guy".

Attached: johnstewartxanshi7.jpg (770x1200, 322K)

I always pictured him being the guy who never left war.
He wanted to come back and be an architect, actually create, but couldnt get away from the fight. Becoming a lantern technically allows him to do both.
I think they always try to have him be the stick in the mud Boss to contrast against Mavericks like Hal and Guy. I think I'd like to see him be the rookie for a change. Has to learn from Hal to be a hero instead of just a soldier.

>"I'm mad that there are people that aren't white!" : The Thread

Disgusting character. Nothing but dead weight.

More like ass weight. Best GL, would fuck.

Nope, i'm mad that people I do like that happen to be white don't get any page time because they are white. You can like white people without hating black people.

>don't get any page time because they are white.
I don't think that's true, white people still get page time.

Not White Legacy heroes. DC has specifically been not giving legacy heroes any time unless they are a minority.

>hating on jess

And a JLA movie dedicated towards how awesome she is. I guess that's not enough for you Jessfag?

>DC has specifically been not giving legacy heroes any time unless they are a minority.
I don't really think that's true either.

It is. Wally, Any GL besides Hal, ect, ect. Legacies aren't getting as much screen time any more.

I really don't think it is, Wally is getting page time in Heroes in crisis and Superboy is a pretty recent character.

Oh yeah, Young justice is like 5/6 white people.

All Wally is getting is his character flushed down the drain. Hell, he was better off in limbo if he's going to be turned into a nutcase or killed.

>Wally is getting page time
Yeah, one page a month with HIC as they character assassinate him
>Superboy
Wont get much from here on out.

Nothing like undoing twenty years of character building with a fucking 9 panel spread, hm?

Fuck King and Fuck Didio.

Attached: LOSS.jpg (489x487, 169K)

So you don't have to like HiC but Wally is like the main focus there so the idea that white legacy heroes are pushed out seem highly inaccurate.

>main focus
That's Harley and Booster.

Then who the fuck is this?

Attached: wallywest-b018e.jpg (791x1200, 264K)

Twenty years of character building really doesn't mean a lot in comics. There are many well written characters forgotten to time.
Put down your cross wallyfag.

>Legacy character get's no screen time at all despite having a fucking bi monthly comic for 25 years
>B-But he showed up in like 3 pages of this one book!

And Wally.

I mean your pic example is Jessica Cruz, who's been isolated to a low-selling team book after her ongoing was cancelled (and she basically stopped being the main character of that ongoing once Jurgens took over in the tail end and made it another Hal book) while Hal is getting the limelight in the only current ongoing GL title. What's the issue here?

The lives of comic creators these days are so devoid of meaning they need to be "woke" to be valid. They absolutely need to pat themselves on the back and praise from other like minded people inside the industry and out.

>Damian isn't white, Jason was race-swapped.
[Citation Needed]

He has gotten only slightly more page time than the cave man

All legacies suck ass

Another legacy character, you gonna ignore how Bart is running around in young justice?

>Wally is better than Barry and Guy is better than hal
>B-But they are shit

But it's not because he's white.

>There are many well written characters forgotten to time.
Then they wouldn't have been forgotten.

At least Barry was given a proper sendoff in CoIE. The poor guy was gone for 20 years with a few exceptions. Now Barry's back and they're handing all of Wally's accomplishments over to him and punting Wally off a cliff into purgatory. Hell, they replaced him with some dumb black kid with the same fucking name.

He's being taken off because he is a legacy, something brown characters are immune too. He's not being taken off because he is white but brown characters are pushed because they are brown meaning only brown legacies are allowed.

Midnighter and Apollo were already diversity characters on the basis of them being gay, plus Ellis’ current run isn’t even part of the main universe. Chances are they’ll only be race-swapped for that book. Plus Grifter and Hawksmoor are both still straight and white in it.

After being gone for years. Surprised they didn't keep the terrorist gig from New 52.

>Then they wouldn't have been forgotten.
They are though. Do you not know how time works?

I'm so Canadian I didn't even know she was a minority until now but I only saw the justice league movie.

I really like her overcoming fear motivation. It's compelling.

She is barely even a "minority" considering she isn't a stereotypical hot blooded sassy Latina from the border but is just a chill chick from the Pacific Northwest who used to go out hunting with her friends

>He's being taken off because he is a legacy, something brown characters are immune too
It's simply not true.

Yes it is. All legacies are being thrown out except ones like Blue Beetle and Jessica because they are brown.

kek

Then explain young justice.
You got 5 white legacy heroes there.

Sidekicks don't count

"Why don't sidekicks count?" He asked, bracing himself for further idiocy.

Because you can't just call Dick a legacy. He is a sidekick. If it were Dick being Batman then it would be one thing, it's just Dick being a side kick. Same for Sidekick Wally and Roy.

Any reading list for her?

Green Lantern Rebirth is about it
