CONTRARIAN AI SUMMARY: During a recent interview Vanessa Baden completely undermined James Gunn's frantic rescue efforts on social media by admitting that Lanterns does indeed depict Hal Jordan as a 60-year old racist white man who never deserved the ring to begin with. She wrote the third episode of Lanterns and contributed to the second.
This was part of a sweeping proposal made during the interview that all 60 and older white men are probably racist. James Gunn himself is a 60-year old white man, the co-head of DC Studios who somewhere along the chain of command was responsible for hiring her.
Baden has thoroughly sunk the boat by revealing what viewers could already see but what Gunn and the showrunners keep denying. That these Lantern characters were hijacked to promote one-sided political propaganda. Not just a hatchet job on Hal Jordan, but all the Lanterns. Including John Stewart, turning him into the classic cardboard cliché of an angry young Black man with a chip on his shoulder.

Racist Lanterns writers fixate on John Stewart's skin color

EXCERPTS: The Lantern's writer said that Aaron Pier's lighter skin would make John Stewart more palatable to damn white people. [Because, you know, this is the 1950s.] So, I want to give you some context.
This is not a woman who has suffered throughout her life. She's eating good, right? She's wellfed. She's a little light-skinned herself. She's complaining about all the victimhood while she's on a podcast making money from writing pretend.
They could not have made a worse show. If it wasn't for Starfleet Academy, Lanterns would be the bottom feeder of the year. And it still might be.
But at least Starfleet Academy was funny. You know, a gay Klingon having two Black dads who abandon him. That's a novel soap opera situation that comedy gold can be mined from. But Lanterns attempts at wry humor are just a thin veneer for tired grievance theater.
