"It was suboptimal, but I judged that the harm done was trivial and the potential benefits extremely large. I had contingency plans in place for all readily foreseeable outcomes and quite a few possible but unlikely ones. All told, I achieved my objectives and the only real difficult came from a surprisingly reasonable angel."
I really want to hear just what his contingency plan was in the case of the Angelic host deciding to go old testament on Humanity...

"'People who know the location are me, Zatanna, John and the people who guard it. Getting in and out undetected required a group of technologies and magic that no one else on Earth has. In fact, I don't think anyone in the universe has tattoos like mine, just.. due to the way magic works in this universe. Which means that the absolute last thing I should do is give anyone more information. Idiots flooding the place to try and protect it is far more likely to trigger a counterattack than just about anything else."
I facepalm at how he truly believe nobody else knows where the garden is and that his was the only way to successfully do what he did.

Media training, don't fail me now.
Given I am pretty sure at this point that Paul's charisma has moved into the negative this is just going to be sad to watch. :facepalm:

Sad doesn't even make top three in terms of probability, after "hilarious," "horrifying," and "impossible." The last is due to the interview happening off camera, like Wonder Woman's explanation for what she thought when Paul said that Circe would make a better villainous League member than Nabu.
 
Yeah, but when you're talking about people who've trespassed in the Garden of Eden which John are you going to immediately think of to the exclusion of all others.
Yes, which is why I said it makes sense from context. But the SI also has a decent relationship with John Stewart, so it could plausibly be him as well.

Seriously, there are only marginally more named Orange Lanterns in this story than there are people who go by "John", "Jon", or the Martian equivalent names.
 
Ok, it makes sense from context who he's talking about, but there are like half a dozen people who answer to "John" in this story. Two of them are even on the League.
Sure, but everyone knows that if he's talking about Heaven, Hell, or the Garden of Eden, or Magic, he's talking about Constantine. Batman would know this. He'd hardly dumb something down for Batman.
 
I wonder what the interview will be about.

Didn't Paul basically say all religious and afterlives are real the last time he talked about this?

He said the Silver City and Angels were a thing before on tv after the demon attack.

I stride out onto the stage to applause from the audience as Ms Grant stands to welcome me.

I really like the OL media interview chapters, they seem to be the closest thing we ever get to an interlude showing what the wider world is thinking of Paul or Grayven's shenanigans.
 
Sic John Constantine on them, probably.
John has better than even odds of winning that.

Paul does shit like this all the time, you're just complaining now because all of the more easily provoked Christians are getting their panties in a twist.
Pretty much, yes. But the Muslims especially. I can't see more than the Orthodox jews getting too upset.

I really hope you dont time skip this, this may be the thing he does that finally overshadows the cakd thing.
Just wait until Earth hears about the Spider thing.

Why would they? Only Paul is responsible. If they blamed all of humanity for every sin Heaven would be an empty place.

As for the Host going after Paul directly, his plan was actually pretty great, though it'd be hilarious if they just shrugged and waited for him to come out. After all, if he's in Hell already what else can they do to him?
 
Maybe Paul will invite Thana on show she she can get her message out to a wider audience.

Hell maybe even invite Adom so he can talk about his gods as well.

Show that while yes Angels and the Silver City are real so are other godlike beings.
 
Okay, done my research, looked at the wiki, and for the life of me I can't think of anything that might be effecting Paul so badly.

Except... he's never been this bad, not even close.

In fact, now that I think about it he's been slowly changing for... dozens of chapters, maybe even earlier.

This hasn't been quick, no, this has been excruciatingly slow, and it's just speeding up.

... guys... I don't think that Paul is fully human anymore... at least not mentally...

Either that or he thinks he's become some godlike force of nature after having the ring so long... which is just stupid, but he's not been powerless since... I can't even remember, maybe the Androids when he lost his ring? And that was a long, long time ago.
 
Sic John Constantine on them, probably.
That would take time, and during that time Humans would be dying.

Except when Paul has previously pulled this sort of thing he has done the prep work to make it at least somewhat reasonable.

This time he didn't even try that and then decided to be spiteful to just because he didn't want to say he was sorry.
