^I agree with your point, though I wish they would at least keep it as part of Stwearts character, like maybe he used to be more cocky dealing with anger issues from his time in the marines but mellowed out over the years.
One is a result of the other. John became a lot more grounded and diplomatic after Cosmic Odyssey where his arrogance resulted in the destruction of a planet. The guilt almost caused him to take his own life.
For some reason when I was younger I always got John & Jonnz confused... for awhile I thought John's name was actually spelled "Jon".. so force of habit. Have no idea why 🤷🏾♂️. I'm stupid. Leave me alone.
I always like the stoic and serious John Stewart than a cocky and a rebellious one. Mostly because we have a lot of cocky and/or rebellious green lanterns in the lantern corp 😓
