Questions

How do you reconcile a question when an A-List character (Hal Jordan) has served on both sides of the answer? (24:55)
Is Mark Millar’s Superman story a good example of destiny? (38:17)
I was leaning towards no free will because of Earth 33, but then I remember an issue where our imaginations are products of other Earth’s. (46:13)
Wouldn’t the Book of Oa make a case for pre-destination? (52:38)
Free will. Because of the nature of free will versus fate. (56:36)
If there are characters named Dr. Fate and Dr. Destiny, doesn’t it prove that those things exist? (1:03:58)
