“For me, it's about going back to
what the hell happened to this guy.
He gets this Ring, he's adopted into an Interplanetary Police Force, and basically all his relationships fall apart and
he can't hold down a job.
But he happens to be
The Greatest Cosmic Cop of ALL
YES. Why....?
Because he is A Rulebreaker : Guy Gardener and John Stewart (for example), are NOT -- when they Break The Rules it's because (usually) they are breaking The Rules FOR HAL (because they Trust Him.)
We Loved the disconnect of that :
The Beatnik Idea of how
Jordan has no home,
he sleeps on friends' couches,
he travels with nothing but
His Lantern and A Rucksack.
He's like A Cowboy trying to survive in the 21st Century
So, WATCH MORE WESTERNS, Acolytes --
HE JUST SAID That.
You Know, you're actually ALLOWED to Shout at God.
Not only is is Holy, not only is it Healthy, it's actually MANDATORY
Otherwise, all of Creation becomes like an Englishman in a shitty Italian Bistro :
Everyone feels so constrained by the fact that they CAN'T complain,
That it isn't their place to Question These Things,
That Everything's Fine --
No-one SAYS Anything.
Everything is NOT Fine.
Things FALL APART -- The Centre DOES NOT Hold.
Mere Anarchy has BEEN Loosed upon The World --
You CANNOT stop it :
“I Did it 30 Minutes Ago.”
