Just further perpetuates the idea that poc characters cannot be interesting on their own and need to be a white person turned minority to make people like them (news flash: most of the times people don't actually like it)

I mean it's different when the media in question lacks diversity ig in those cases you could raceswap but again why is it always the character who is very clearly white ? What happened to media literacy and understanding characters ? Like genuinely I am capable of making better more respectful raceswaps lmfao

anyways idk how to word this it's 5 am good night

He did it again. Another issue where he totally skips the action to make people stand around and talk about stuff, including recapping the action we didn't see. The Legion have done this type of misdirection confession plot before, but that version still showed us the action leading up to the reveal, unlike this one which is just a boring part of a pattern of not showing action.

And that one page feels like he just copy pasted a anti-Batman post straight into his script. It doesn't make sense in universe.

Brainy informs us that he's smart, but that remains a informed attribute. He doesn't even seem to have done anything to help with the confession gambit.

Then there's this attempt to, idk, tell us that the moral of the story is "don't time travel" also feels out of place. He should know that. He shouldn't have been complacent with all the shit they've already caused in the first place. He's already acted like an idiot about it, who is he to dictate what anyone should do about it? He's so deeply stupid, despite the constant telling and not showing of the opposite, and I hate this version of him so much.

We still know fuck all about the Gold Lanterns, but apparently they need a corps now because what this already severely underdeveloped incarnation of the Legion needs is competition for page space. Hell, even the GLC can barely support a book right now and you expect people to buy into a totally new and poorly defined corps that doesn't even seem to work with the established lore? Does anyone even care about them?

Are we just going to ignore the shitty not-actually-a-love-triangle-because-the-writers-refuse-to-acknowledge-each-other? Can Imra stop being a creep?

This book has been an awful, dull mess. It's overcrowded, disjointed, filled with loose threads and "funny" dialogue that totally misses the mark and it just straight up isn't good. I'd even shy away from calling it a story, it's so incoherent that it barely even follows a story structure.
