Green Lantern of Sector 2814- John Stewart
Three years ago, I wrote a few beginning pages of a novel about John Stewart. I ended up losing the pages due to a reformatting mistake of my computer. At the time, I had heard news of a possible Green Lantern movie. I had also heard that it would be featuring Hal Jordan or Guy Gardner as the main character. I thought this to be very odd since John Stewert was the featured Green Lantern in the animated series of Justice League and Justice League Unlimited.
Although, I can understand the marketing of not using John Stewart as the main character. Plainly put, many viewers are much more comfortable with white heroes. And when they do see an African American hero, they want it to be in the fashion of Hitch. A morally and ethically decayed Black man who needs the help of someone White to be all that he can be. Don’t get me wrong- I liked Hitch. It was funny and even endearing to me. But John Stewert simply isn’t that type of character and I don’t think people are ready to see him on the big screen.
Hopefully I”m wrong. Anyways, I am going to write a novel that features John Stewert. It will be free and updated with a few pages at least once a week. I hope you all enjoy it.
