Lanterns Episode 3 Turns John Stewart's Strength Into a Tragedy
Lanterns Episode 3 explains why John Stewart may be one of the most naturally formidable Green Lanterns we've seen; but the answer comes with a cost. Adam looks at John's childhood, the extreme training his parents put him through after learning he might someday be chosen by the Guardians, the meaning behind his persistent bird construct and the uncomfortable line between preparing a child for greatness and abusing them in pursuit of it. The episode also explores how the Guardians' supposedly universal test of fear changes when applied to John as a Black man on Earth.
