Date: 2016-09-02 12:16 am (UTC)The writer(s?) is really going out of their way to make Hal look like a braindead tool.
Not that Ollie comes across as much better.
Your idea was... well-intentioned, but your approach was waaaaaaaaay off, buddy.
Also, pretty sure whatever attempt Ollie has is kind of blown away the minute he starts ranting at Hal like, half a minute later.
... plus, where the hell'd he get that entirely yellow body-covering outfit anyway? If he had it, where's he keeping it? Is that why he's not there when the fight starts, because he's busy getting changed?

Date: 2016-09-02 12:19 pm (UTC)Also, I really begin to feel sorry for Hal, here (and that's saying something). Every issue seems to be the same formula of Hal staying with the Man, while Ollie hangs with the oppressed and takes up their cause (though it seems more like he's appropriating it, instead) and is apparently always right.
I get that there are elements here which were pushing boundaries and that they were trying to do some noble stuff here...but Good Grief.

Date: 2016-09-02 02:21 pm (UTC)Exactly! People always forget to take into account the mores of the era in which they're reading a past comic.

Date: 2016-09-02 07:29 pm (UTC)Just because my comment doesn't explicitly say "I am aware this was from a past era, and shall now list the good things about it to assuage its proponents" in some form of smaller-font, rapid-speak disclaimer, doesn't mean I automatically forget what era this was from, nor the fact that it is a product of its time. It's not like there's an amnesia switch or something, the same way it's not a switch that toggles between 'Necessary and appropriate critique' and 'Remember and appreciate historical context'.

Date: 2016-09-05 07:18 am (UTC)Good grief every time Oliver went on one of his rants I was always like "Dude the evil scientists and giant robots are trying to kill people!"
Why do I like Green Arrow again? Oh right the cartoons. Where he's actually a decent person. *thinks about the time he ziplined while singing his theme song*
