Line 6:
 
* In [[The Movie]] of ''[[Green Lantern]]'', Tomar-Tu calls Hal Jordan's species young, trying to encourage Hal to prove his worth to the other Lanterns. The other Lanterns, and the Immortals, however, see his humanity as a weakness and [[Fantastic Racism|treat him as a member of a lower caste.]]
** This is especially bad writing because there's no reason for most of the universe to have heard of us at all--weall—we're not ''really'' spaceflight-capable even for short range, and the movie is set in the very early days of the superhero era. Unless it's supposed to be after the Fantastic Four movie and the rumor got out that we kicked Galactus' butt, we should be just one of those races nobody's ever heard of, and instead they had ''negative'' opinions. Which [[Ryan Reynolds]] tends to affirm.
** [[Green Lantern]] has always been a franchise that treated the universe as being incredibly small, anyway. A sector lantern has ''oodles of galaxies'' under his care, and yet most seem to spend the vast majority of their time defending one planet. Every Green Lantern who's ever been an active member of any Justice League incarnation (except Alan Scott, obviously) is guilty of gross dereliction of duty. So many mass extinctions while John Stewart was keeping order on his homeworld...
* In the ''[[Transformers Film Series]]'', this is the sole reason why Optimus Prime must protect the humans, and why Megatron must destroy them.
