GL: Rebirth as Pro-Bush Propaganda?

Terram · 10-28-2004, 09:55 PM

Okay, let's weight out the similarities here:

1) Both Hal Jordan and George W. Bush joined the air force as pilots long ago.
2) Both Hal Jordan and George W. Bush once got slapped with a DUI
3) Both Hal Jordan and George W. Bush are being given a second chance to be Green Lantern/President, despite going mad with power and putting the Earth itself in jeopardy.
4) Their community of peers seems to be highly suspicious of their motives. Green Arrow = England, Batman = France, Flash = Canada.

There's no way around it folks.

Christ almighty, now I've read everything.

Moonbeam · 10-28-2004, 10:09 PM

... yeah and they both wear green.

And the word "Hal" kinda sounds like "George."

Plus they both have hair on their heads.

Uncanny really.

And...... I have nothing.

Now all we need is a panel that equates GW to Hitler, Saddam, Genocide, and Stalin.

Who do you think Superman is, Germany or Mexico?

Superman is America. Period.

To say otherwise is sacrilege.

Terram · 10-28-2004, 10:29 PM

No way, ese.

mlk2 · 10-28-2004, 10:30 PM

green lantern is fictional. George W. Bush is unfortunately not

Hmmm, good theory.

But everyone knows GL: Rebirth is pro-Kerry propaganda!

Look at how he flip-flops! (I'm Green Lantern, fighting cosmic war! No, I'm a social activist now, hanging out with Green Arrow and the hippies! No wait, now I'm crazy! I'm Parallax now! No, no, the Spectre! Did I say the Spectre, no I meant I'm Green Lantern again. I've always been pro-Lantern!)

Superman is the immigrant America success story.

Spider-Man is the homebred American blue-collar story.

Then Green Lantern must be the classic American "I won the lottery and lived the good life then blew all my money and died in the gutter" story.

(Actually, I like your analogies, J. Triangles)

I can buy that.

No, Manhunter is the immigrant story where he doesn't really find success or fits in so he bums around and ends up living in Chinatown processing the dried genitals of animals for distribution in front of the seedy "herbal remedy" shop he works in.
