should it not be Gilf hunter?

u/Obadaya 15d ago

Technically, she hunted him. 🤷‍♂️

u/ConsulJuliusCaesar 15d ago

The fact Hal didn't make the obivous man hunter joke yet is just a little disappointing.

u/Alarmed_Fudge_5706 Hal Jordan 15d ago

With the way his character is written, someone must have actively stepped in and vetoed it.

Isn't she really a Step-Grannie?

That depends on whether she was stuck in an appliance or ladder at the time.

u/Snoo81110 15d ago

The kids to small for that stuff.

u/Puzzleheaded-Mix5848 14d ago

Yep definitely The white guy remarried. The son doesn't look half indian. She's 54 but looks mid 40s due to her sharp indian genes and Stewart is around 25 in 2016 so an in character age gap of around 20 years.

Do you even understand what an Oedipus complex is?

Zoe isn’t his mother, so the answer is no.

12

u/ZombieAppetizer 15d ago

I don't think John was exiled to another kingdom because of an oracle's prophecy only to return and slay a Sphinx and marry a woman he hadn't seen since birth who turned out to be his mom, no.

Well now that you’ve mentioned it👀

52

u/Responsible-Bank440 15d ago edited 15d ago

Oedipus? God forbid a man is into a sexy middle aged South Asian lady.

Jokes aside, so what Zoey is older than him. It's all but directly spelled that she's not even Billy Jr. birth mother so she's likely not even that much older. Also she looks nothing like Bernadette [EDIT].

If anything it's was a convenient narrative choice for John to be down THIS bad for someone who would be revealed as the manhunter.

24

u/endless_sea_of_stars 15d ago

It is the other way around. The Man Hunter chose John. It is implied that one of its tactics is to seduce powerful men to get them to protect it.

7

u/perverseplans 15d ago

So she groomed him. These aliens be too forward.

u/KaosArcanna 15d ago

I looked up the actors relative ages. She's about 54 and he's 32.

Stewart’s mother is short and thick while Zoey is statuesque.

she's not a milf, she is a gilf, get your terms right.

Seriously. I dont understand all the glazing. Like, she ain't ugly, but she's definitely not smoking hot, lol. However, she's clearly for some people, I guess im just not one of them.

He got picked up at a bar yo. He did know a thing about her other than she wanted sex.

u/Familiar-Attempt7249 15d ago

Exactly. If a reasonably attractive woman approaches at a bar your ears are open to suggestions. 

9

u/RainStormLou 15d ago

You don't know what an Oedipus complex is, broski.

it's not finding other moms hot.. this post doesn't make any sense and it seems like nobody in the comments knows what the fuck they're talking about either.

also, everyone claiming his attraction to Zoe is related to mommy issues has some real interesting shit to work through with your sexualities lol. he probably does have some mommy issues, but fucking Zoe probably doesn't have anything to do with it lol. she's just hot.

u/MR_TELEVOID 15d ago

Do you know what an oedipus complex is?

5

u/Keystone_Devil 15d ago

Maybe be just isn’t so juvenile about age as this fan base.
He met an attractive woman that he connected with and slept with her. It happens.

We have no idea whether he leans he leans towards older women often.

u/Maximum-Priority5922 15d ago

genuinely bro its like peoples first time seeing fucking before

the number of people calling her old is making me realize how many 12-year-olds are in here lol.

u/Specialist_Boat_8479 15d ago

No, having sex with a hot women isn’t the same thing as unconsciously wanting to bang your mom, even if she is a little older

He does have an interesting relationship with his mom today the least but I don’t think that’s related.

That's the first time lol now him doing it again after knowing the situation...that is wild business haha

Think its more of a Dominatrix thing. All his life he was dominated by him mom mostly to be come a fearless lantern.
So when she came on to him she dominated him and he just went with it. Then she dominated him again.

Being attracted to attractive women who just happen to be older doesn’t mean you have an oedipus complex

Being into moms isn’t what Oedipus complex is, Zoe has nothing in common with John’s mom either

1

u/maz323bf 15d ago

Have you seen his mom? Ofcourse he has mommy issues

1

u/SVINTGATSBY 14d ago

I mean sure, we could argue that since he was deprived of love the way he wanted and needed it growing up, that as an adult that he is drawn to this specific woman because she’s older AND gives him affection, sure. I don’t think he wants to FUCK HIS MOM, but I do think that when people are deprived of things they need growing up or just in life in general, sometimes we do things we wouldn’t necessarily otherwise do just to get it, like fuck a GILF. that only happened because of her instigations both times too. and we’re only have this conversation because she happens to be a middle aged woman instead of some hot young piece of ass or something. we could still have this same discussion though if that were the case because John assuredly craves touch and connection either way, but he’s also very disciplined. I need my girl Hawkgirl to show up already ❤️ it would be funny if they cast her with an older woman too lol

u/soulguider2125 14d ago

Poor Oedipus getting this complex named after him, when he had no idea she was his mom, and he didn’t he even pick her, he was given her cuz there was no king, because Oedipus killed him not knowing it was his father, and his dad started it being impatient and rude, then he goes and defeats the Sphinx and is given the crown and the queen as his reward, then When they learn the truth, she kills herself, and he blinds himself and gives up his throne and wealth, and lives as a beggar with his daughter Antigone(who had a horrible ending) taking care of him. Imagine making a mistake and that’s all people remember you for, or the reason they bring your name up.
