JLU John Stewart vs. John Stewart of the comics

[IKnowSomeJudo]

Which portrayal of green lantern John Stewart do you prefer? The loudmouth ex-marine from JLU or the architect dude from the comics?

or

 

[Andy C.]

I'd say JLU Stewart. Had a stronger personality than comics Stewart.

 

[Kitsune]

 

[IKnowSomeJudo]

I saw that one coming. He'd make a great Green Lantern anyway.

 

[droogiedroogie2]

JLU Stewart, but comics Stewart is cool too.

 

[GNR]

jlu stewart was a goddamn prick

 

[jaydawg]

JLU Stewart is what Comics John should have been post IC. But no..... he had to become Hal's *****. Good job DC, degrade the character further.

Lawlz!!!11!1

JLU, because bald black guys are cooler then ones with hair.

 

[DavidTyler]

John in JLU was still cool when he had hair. It's all about that ex-marine attitude that makes the character work so well.

And he far outstrips his comics predecessor. The animated John has a very identifiable personality. Drop him in with other characters and he's going to stand out as his own person.

The comics version, however, is just another guy in spandex.

 

[IKnowSomeJudo]

Personally, I like the different aspects of the character(s). Visually, JLU J is way cooler, I love the green glow in his eyes and the fact that he's a more prominent personality unlike his comic counterpart. On the other hand, I find comic Stewart's use of the ring to be way more imaginative, what with him being an architect and all, creating all kinds of amazing constructs with the ring, whereas JLU Stewart mostly resorted to simpler stuff like hammers, planks and buzzsaws.

Interestingly, science now suggests that the inverse is true for white guys. For several years previous to this finding, it was believed that baldness and coolness had a direct correlation, rather than an inverted one. The reason for this mistake is anyone's guess, but there are no shortage of victims. Like Moby.

on either blacks or whites, bald hair or long hair can come off as being cool. anything in the middle is meh...

I think I actually prefer Justice league john stewart to the on in unlimited. You could certainly see he had an advantage and played a major part in the way the team run

heck, it was practically him and supes running the show with bats turning up for guidance once in a while. that's big.

plus out of the big seven he had the most fleshing out of the whole four series i believe.

This is completely untrue, nobody ever believed that bald white guys were cool.

Some cling to the belief that shaved-headed white guys are cooler than white guys with pattern baldness/receding hairlines, but even they're just kidding themselves.

Bald-lameness exceptions made for

1. Jason Stratham

2. Jean-Luc Picard, if you swing that way

But that's it.

Without hesitation : JLU John Stewart. I prefer his visual and someone talked above about his stronger personality ... I concur. JLU GL's force is his personality. That's why I think he would be a good choice in a flm, in the comics etc ...
The by-the-books military guy is a good way to deal with him. It gives dynamic in the team.
BUT I admit that lately he showed good things in his way to behave in the comics ; in GL rebirth and in JLA (around 102 or 106). I do hate that they make his black gloves go away! Damned! looks bad!
Someone mentionned the creativ ways Comics john S. use his ring, but I think it's the point : I liked the way JLU John used his ring in a non creativ way. Just shield and beams. I think the creativ things should be Hal's or Kyle's. Personally I think I'm imaginativ and yet in the middle of a battle I'm sure I would use the ring in the same way than JLU John.
The most important to me , I agree with jaydawg : "JLU Stewart is what Comics John should have been post IC."

Personally I think John could be the perfect GL in a team (if he has the same personality than the cartoon serie).
But in a GL book, as a stand alone GL, I prefer to see Hal or Kyle.

 

[Harlekin]

But there is so much more reason for John being more creative than Hal than the other way around.

Historical evidence suggests that, despite what we all fervently tell ourselves, white baldness was at some point cool.

Some cling to the belief that shaved-headed white guys are cooler than white guys with pattern baldness/receding hairlines, but even they're just kidding themselves.

I refer any of these losers with both receding hairlines and receding common sense to George Carlin. He has more than a few choice words on the subject of baldness combatted with shavenness.

Patrick Stewart is the second coming of Sean Connery (pretty impressive, given that the first one is far from dead) so he can pull off anything and make it look good. He can prematurely ejaculate, or go limp inside a woman, and make it look like a badass romantic lothario move. You could take a picture of him sucking a dick and he could make it look straight. Him making white baldness look decent was the simplest feat of such an illustrious career.

Bruce Willis and Daniel Day-Lewis

Yes to Bruce Willis. He had me at "Yippy Ki-Yi-Yay mother****er." He can do whatever he wants.

But DDL? NO! He must have long, Fabio locks of envied raven hair.

 

[Kitsune]

I think the short of it is "Bald looks cool on some people, but a comb over never looks cool"

 

[Superman Pwnage]

John Stewart of the video game dammit.

 

[Varient]

i hope that was a joke.

Oh please.
Based on your sig,.. you don't get the right to have input on this convo.

 

[droogiedroogie2]

Bald never looks cool on white people, except Bruce Willis and Patrick Stewart, and probably on Sean Connery as well, because these men transcend mere whiteness to achieve a higher, enlightened racial category: blackwhiteasianlatinoamericanindianinuitnorwegian. And what doesn't look cool on one of those?
