@shelbyhallow: Okay so Episode 4 of #Lanterns left me with a few questions…⬇️ If a Manhunter can learn to manipulate our societal systems so adeptly, why should we trust the Guardians—who should have similar, if not better, information—when they say they’re ignorant of them? 
And if the Guardians are lying about being ignorant of our politics, then can we trust their motives?

And if we can’t trust the Guardians, can we trust the Manhunter? #dccomics #manhunter #zoemacon #hectorhammond

I think Lianna is the main villain, not Zoe

I definitely find it interesting that the Manhunters understand Earth’s race dynamics but the Guardians were beyond oblivious to it.

I don't know...I think she's the weenie. We were led to where the writers wanted us to look and think.

I’m watching that “guardian”. Because why is she always alone and not acting like a Guardian?

This is SUCH a good analysis oh my lord I’m infatuated. This is kind of a loose connection, but since Manhunters can’t be detected by regular tech, unlike other aliens, I feel like that’s not only a literal testament to how much better at assimilating they are, but a metaphorical one, too. I mean, you quite literally have to rip out their heart to prove they’re alien. They understand the HEART of human societies, and how to manipulate them, whereas other aliens act alien in all ways. Kind of makes me wonder if they’re going to use that lens to discuss topics of immigration, how just because you’re not from a place originally, doesn’t mean you aren’t as valuable to its culture, yk?

Zoe is not manipulating anyone in this show. I am sure that in the end we will be debating if the manhunter is the most human of all the characters.

Ive been wondering if man hunters aren’t actually machines in this story and if it will be revealed that the guardians were othering them by saying that.

I said she was the manhunter the second that kid called her grandma. She’s so young appearing to be a grandma.

She’s super up to no good, but as history would tell us God KNOWS the Guardians are some of the biggest fuckups in comic existence😂

Completely off topic, but is it bad that I didn’t even think Zoe was a person of color until she talked about it in episode 2 😭

What I got from the scene was that man wasn’t Hammond just pretending to be him. Not that he changed his name to assimilate

The only thing I’d push back on is I thought they gave John a hard time at the gun store because he was linked with Hal, not because he was black but I could’ve missed it. The rest is fascinating and I appreciate you laying out so easy to follow
