Ugh... c'mon, folks. This isn't "bold" or "brave," this is just dumb.

Yeah, I seem to remember calling this.Originally posted by Andrew NDB View Post

Despite years of evidence to the contrary, including internal dialogue that the reader was privy to, Alan Scott was now really just a closeted gay man all along.

Yeah, so stupid. Now, DC will act like Alan just is the gay lantern and always has been and if you disagree you're bigot.

Probably this is to better suit their Green Lantern TV show. You know, now they can go, "But Alan is gay in the comics too!" and not just be talking about the New52.Comment

Precisely. That is why I predicted this would happen.Originally posted by Andrew NDB View PostComment

It's like when WB were first talking about the new show and some interviews went, "And it's honoring the comics, where Alan is a gay man" and people went, "psssst... he's not a gay man. He was only a gay man in those cancelled Earth 2 books from way back that nobody liked." So they go, "Oh. Well we better fix that! Get DC on the phone."Comment

It is never going to get reworked again.
Taking a straight character and making them retroactively gay is fine, but taking a gay character and making them straight? Even if they were only gay for a short time due to a poorly considered retcon?
That would be seen as equivalent to punching every gay person in the world right in the nose.

I think I just won't bother with JS. I had thought to be a GL completist (since at least Flashpoint), but I'll make a head canon between GLC and magic-based GL since I actually had missed the Earth 2 years ago weekly anyway. I'm not going to read this stupid stuff just for completion's sake.

Yeah, I had long ago decided against getting stuff that was JUST Alan Scott, vs. stuff where he appeared with other Green Lanterns. I read the Golden Age Archives, and I just...didn't enjoy them. So after skipping those, it was easy to decide I didn't care unless there was another GL involved (though that said, I HAVE enjoyed a lot of the Alan Scott stuff where there WAS another GL involved).Comment

Did anybody miss in Infinite Frontier #0 that Alan Scott's son, Todd Rice/Obsidian was already homosexual in the first place after Infinity Inc? So now we have a father-son gay team for HBO.
At last Jade didn't have any major changes.Comment
