finally started to actually watch the cw flash show and coincidentally it's 2024.4.25 where I'm at. Well what a pleasant surprise I guess? This must be the perfect day to start this show.
quote unquote young justice "today is the day!"
Grant Gustin blows me away with his acting ughhhh he makes a great Barry Allen. I rarely give such unreserved praise to life action but this? 10/10 so far.
More rant in tags. picture from google search bc I can't screenshot rn.
#the way he can manage to tear up in very realistic ways#and in different ways for different situations#ah such good acting must appreciate#Somehow his version of Barry is even more adorable#maybe because he is so obviously young and full of life#I forgive him for not being blond he is my fav life action flash now#dc#cw the flash#the flash#barry allen#comfort character#watching this bc I was tired but now I'm so satisfied#yeah I know the writers messed up later into the show#but I'm happy with what good parts we get#besides tbh this whole cast gets the bonus point for being good looking

very useful list for research (catch up on backstory + look up reference for a specific outfit)
sometimes you see an outfit like renegade Hal and you wonder where that's from. This list is the list to go to for such times.
Hal Jordan Reading List
Hal Jordan is a man of many names and many legends. He was once the Green Lanterns' best and brightest. His name and legend is written into the stars. He fell, brilliantly and terribly. He rose again as the Spirit of Vengeance, the Spirit of Redemption! He returns in the end to his place among the Green Lanterns. But to truly know the man, you must read the stories.
Most important stories are bolded and my favorites are asterisked
Origin Stories
Some of these repeat, not all are necessary but I advise reading at least Emerald Dawn/Emerald Dawn II or Secret Origins or Showcase #22
Emerald Dawn (1990), first appearance of the Martin Jordan backstory
Emerald Dawn II (1991)*, Hal is trained by Sinestro for the first time
Secret Origins (Green Lantern (2005) #29-35), Geoff Johns’ version of Hal’s backstory if reading modern Hal stuff, its important
Showcase #22*, what actually started it all
Superman: Man of Steel Annual #4*, Hal meets Clark for the first time
Secret Origins (1986) #36, Hal retells his origin to a new friend (set post Action Comics (1938) #606)
One Shots
Green Lantern Secret Files (2004) #1 “Flight”, three flights in Hal Jordan’s life*
Justice League: The Darkseid War - Green Lantern #1, Hal becomes a God and gives it up*
Green Lantern 80th Anniversary, a tribute to the Green Lanterns across the ages* (Skip Geoff’s story. You’ll thank me. Four should be read after Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #35.)
Early Days
Green Lantern (1960) #6, first appearance of Tomar-Re*
Green Lantern (1960) #7, first appearance of Sinestro*
Green Lantern (1960) #8, introduction of the Solar Director of 5780 plot*
Green Lantern (1960) #9, second appearance of Sinestro + first appearance of Hal’s brothers*
Green Lantern (1960) #13, first team-up with The Flash (Barry Allen)
Green Lantern (1960) #16, first appearance of Star Sapphire

Green Lantern (1960) #49, Hal leaves Coast City
Wanderer
Green Lantern (1960) #51, conclusion of the Solar Director of 5871 arc
Green Lantern (1960) #53, family team up issue*
Green Lantern (1960) #57, an old enemy returns
Green Lantern (1960) #63, Hal saves the world from an alien who wants to destroy it*
Green Lantern (1960) #64, Hector Hammond returns*
Green Lantern (1960) #70, Hal gets a new job + first questioning of Guardians*
Green Lantern (1960) #73-74, Hal returns to Coast City and fights Sinestro and Star Sapphire* (note: there will be a panel that will make your jaw drop in how racist it is, there’s some good meat besides that panel but that panel…its bad)
Questioning and Politics
Green Lantern/Green Arrow
Green Lantern (1960) #76-#87, #89
The Flash (1959) backup stories: #217-#219, #226

Green Lantern (1960) #172, Hal gets to return to Earth

Green Lantern Corps (1986) (might be under Green Lantern (1960) depending on website) #220-224, Sinestro is executed (warning, this is part of Englehart glc and thus includes small references to hal/arisia, that relationship is out of character for everyone involved and I don't support it, but these issues are otherwise good)

Green Arrow (1988) #20, Hal goes and helps Ollie once again*
Secret Origins (1986) #50, Hal and Ollie make up from their fight (last story, only)
At this point, Hal has been wandering and questioning for years. He’s a drifter, especially since the Guardians left the Universe to go make new Oans.

when I say "I like this character" there are 2 possible situations
I'd love to be friends with someone like them irl, they have some qualities I relate to/wish I have/can learn from
I'll stay away if I ever meet one in real life but they are *interesting*
sometimes a character fit both tho, by which I mean "yeah that's exactly like me but not in a good way"
tagged 4 examples for each type in tags but I'm not saying which of these are type 1 or 2(take a guess if you want to)
#characters#tag your favs#thoughts#text post#hal jordan#barry allen#the doctor#hannibal#will graham#stede bonnet#crowley#batman#well actually the hal and barry parallel prompted this post#I like them both as characters but#Hal is literally an unemployed ex-military irresponsible egotistical flirt#and barry is like literally central city sunshine

Ughhhhh I love this show even more now (didn't know that was possible)
So as I was listening to the soundtrack of "Subspace Rhapsody" (which I will rant post about later) I saw the season 1 soundtrack for SNW pop up and I clicked on it cause I love listening to soundtracks.
Y'ALL I WAS NOT PREPARED FOR WHAT I SAW.
Instead of the boring mundane names I've come accustomed to with soundtracks (which usually just have something to do with what characters are doing in certain scenes) the names of this soundtrack are PHENOMENAL.
Here's some of my personal favourites:
LIKE THE PUNS?? AMAZING?? THE MUSIC??? STUNNING.
My personal favourites are "Put a T'Pring On It" and "Don't Leave in Uhurry" because those two got the biggest laughs out of me when I read them.
#star trek#strange new worlds#snw#i love puns#SNW please continue to be the dumb show you are now （affectionate)#love you for that#affectionate squeaky toy noises#me watching disco s2: this version of pike is nice I wish we see more of him#camera switch to snw where he get his og the cage crew#I grabbed a friend and screamed

oh the new nightwing birthday issue. Look at the lighting here it's so beautiful.
Sure we've had problems with bad writing here and there, but the overall character arc of Dick Grayson is arguably one of the best in DC. The concept of growth is so well developed on him.
#beautiful beautiful panel here#dc comics#art#dick grayson#nightwing#comic edit#nightwing 2016#he deserves the spotlight

Some Kyle caps from Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps, mostly his interactions with Hal. They're such a fun duo to watch.
Not sure if this counts as spoilers but I'll tag just in case.
Kyle is such a mood. The kid's growing on me with his 90s everyman persona and art reference books.
#dc comics#comic edit#kyle rayner#green lantern#hal jordan and the green lantern corps#Kyle is an artist how bad can he ever be#hal jordan#halkyle#sort of#shitty resolution we die like basically every major DC character#spoilers#well kinda#the first is important to me#because there's this close friend of mine#and it's literally us

HELLO DC this is exactly what happened.
You know something is very wrong when the villains are angry because Bat mistreated his son so bad.
By this point I'm not even angry or disappointed anymore I'm just entertained in a twisted way.
About batcat war,my thoughts

Feeling completely normal about the new Nightwing issue.
No spoilers, but this issue really reminds us (again) why everyone loves Dick Grayson, what his motivation is, and how his backstory makes him him.
Batman is also being a good dad in this one. more rant in tages uhh
#dc comics#dick grayson#nightwing#nightwing 2016#comic edit#on him you can see that#you don't have to be aggressive to be firm in leadership#heck DC had always been leadership eductaion#but I like Dick's case in particular#because the contrast between Nightwing and Robin#creates this character growth arc that I can relate#anyways#rant post#so much for the more human side of the bat#“his emotions fueled him” what a line#batman

You have heard of Hal being the embodiment of Will. Now get ready for Kyle the entire emotinal spectrum.
This actually explains a lot tho, I was a bit confused on why Kyle is suffering from chaotic emotional energy the most until I read up the explanations on tumblr
Anyways It's really good that they're showing how someone messing with all of the emotional spectrum at once deeply affects Kyle. If the emotional spectrum is unstable Kyle is unstable because he Is the spectrum

So the guardians call Hal the Prodigal and Kyle the Torch Bearer.
Now that I'm thinking about it, these names really correspond to the characters well.
A Prodigal is prone to be a high-flying wild card that's born to burns in a hard-to-control way. A Torch Bearer is prone to be more grounded and quietly powerful, with great constitution and stamina to hold on. Yet both bear an association to light and positivity.
It's two different types of powerful described in two names. Feeling completely normal about this choice of words.
