I'm not quite sure why Dinah is in such a mood at the end there, is this when she was arguing with her mother? Or is it that she wears a blonde wig herself.

Admitting you happen to like blondes isn't a particularly offensive thing to say, is it?

They're talking about an accomplished superhero. Hal reduced her to just a "blonde" and equated her with Marilyn Monroe.

Hmm, I see what you mean, though I'd say he's talking about a crush he had as a kid, rather than an assessment of her heroic prowess.

I took it as that she thought Hal was genuinely complimenting her mother (which he probably was), but his last line about having a thing for blondes made it just seem like he was saying that to come on to her

His jabbing at Aquaman is so damn childish. I'm never fond of people who think it's their duty to make everyone 'loosen up'. Especially when all they're doing is making fun of the person/people.

Hal is probably the guy who goes to a house party expecting to *be* the party. Probably the guy who finds the acoustic guitar at the party and thinks it his time to shine.

That guy.

And that's all I have to say on the matter.

Totally agree with you here. I've never heard anyone say "but I just want them to loosen up!!" who wasn't a total asshole.

That "space sheriff" line reminds me of something about "Hard Travelling Heroes" that Kurt Busiek said. Originally, the Green Lanterns were supposed to be "space sheriffs" not "space cops."

what is the difference between sheriffs and cops? Is the a clear distinction (when applied with a 'space' prefix)

Genuine question btw, I'm not being snarky.

I think the idea is that a sheriff has far wider latitude when it comes to dealing with problems than cops (at least in fiction).

Cops have someone always standing over their shoulders, strict rules to obey, etc.

A sheriff enforces the law on his own, and as he sees fit (again, in fiction) without someone breathing down his neck.

I remember that. IMO, Kurt hit the nail on the head when he said that being a foil for GA meant that anyone who wasn't Black Canary was automatically wrong.

This and "The Brave and The Bold" miniseries made me love Hal and Barry, especially Barry as his whole characterization was "the only sane, normal guy in a room full of crazy people"

You gotta love Hal here. He's a fun lover plain and simple. Sure he was being a little mean to aquaman but I doubt it was malicious,plus bc laughed,she didn't really defend arthur here so shouldn't she share some of the heat?

"Back when Hal joden had a personality!"

...which is pretty much exactly the personality he has now.

And I maintain that that's utter nonsense . Hal Jordan has been characterized as a hot-headed and a little arrogant, and also always does what's right no matter what, and his relationship with Sinestro is one of the best parts of the Green Lantern mythos.

I didn't give a damn about Jordan until Johns brought him back as a Green Lantern, so I admit I'm a little biased.

IE: Zap Brannigan.

I cannot read him in his more dickish moments with the Zap voice.

To be fair, one of the things I like about Johns is that he's shown several times how Jordan's attitude has come back to bite him in the ass.

Kinda makes you glad for Ted Kord's giant yellow gadget later. It was nice to see Hal look silly.
