Do you think DCU "Lanterns" will revitalize general public opinion of Green Lantern? Also random tangent, anyone else get really hyped whenever GL media recites the oath?
>>151967995I think it's gonna suck, hopefully it will but they really should've made it a space show, it has no reason NOT to be a space show.
>>151968006Depends on how much alien shit we see on Earth, and if there are any space scenes. Simply put, we know jack about this show.
>>151967995Anon, there was no GL cop in the supergirl space movie and the tv show is something no one thinks is a good idea. But for gods sake some absolute midwit thinks a "trainign day with the gl" is what will really make GL work.Not realizing that the fucking PREMISE is a damned hard sell. And the GL live action movie ruined any ability for anyoen to take it seriously ever. Guy Gardener is right now the only popular live action version of Green Lantern. And I firmly believe it's going to stay that way for the forseeable future.
>>151968006They would not give the budget required for a show taking place in space after the movie with Reynolds.After a good reception to Guy in Superman and if that show will do decently there might be hope for a space adventure Green Lantern
>>151968006>it has no reason NOT to be a space show.It's called budget
>>151968035>there was no GL cop in the supergirl space movieThere weren't any in the original comic either?
Now that I think about it, Green Lantern has the potential to be the subject of a tokusatsu show, especially if you make Kyle Rayner or an expy of him the protagonist.
>>151967995If it does than it's mostly gonna be in John's favor
>>151968494Neither was lobo>>151969018Hal's been ruined and the lunatics in charge of WB/DC at the time were so terrified of John becoming the face of GL that they forbid Snyder from putting him in the movie and even brought over Cyborg into the Justice League on top of it. Anon, they have their favorite, their fucking delusional and think that the GL is perfectly palatable to normies after the first live action movie and failed cartoon that never took off showed them they were goddamend retards. It's never going to work and the people in charge aren't aware enough to know that they lack the vision to sell it.
>>151969066I don’t get what you’re paying down.
>>151967995>Tom King>Damon LindelofI'm not so sure.
>>151969069I'm Fucking saying that there should be a GL as a space cop in all super girl and another in whatever superhero DC show comes out next if there is an alien anywhere in the plot. GL should be an omnipresent thing as the space cops if they want to make people understand that they are a thing. GL can't carry a movie on it's own and I think it's time we stop pretending otherwise. It's background noise that should remain as such. It should be approached from the view of the hero and or heroine of whatever movie or show they appear in.
>>151969066That's not the reasonCyborg was there because Johns wanted to push his New 52 Justice LeagueGreen Lantern wasn't there because WB was still wary of using the character againSnyder wanted to use John Stewart but was told no because WB wanted to use him (and Hal) in the Green Lantern films, because now they suddenly felt it was time to take a second chance.
>>151969299You sound like an autist.
>>151967995No. None of the new DCU projects have been popular enough to revitalize public opinion about the characters they feature and there is no reason to believe that this will be any different.
>>151969305>Snyder wanted to use John Stewart but was told no because WB wanted to use him (and Hal) in the Green Lantern films, because now they suddenly felt it was time to take a second chance.To clarify, they didn't want to use Green Lantern during the 2010s. By the time Snyder did his Snydercut he wanted to use John Stewart but told no because they were planning on doing Green Lantern movies (and a TV show) again. Movies were gonna focus on Hal and John, while the TV show was going to have Alan Scott, Guy Gardner, and I forget who else
>>151967995anon, do you have any idea how many shitty filmlook shows come and go every year without making any headway at all? they'll never get five seasons like Gotham, that era is dead, they won't get a prestige mini to bring them into the Big Cinematic Important Universe because that era is dead too. Nobody gives a shit. It's done. This isn't Iron Man in 2008, it's not even Incredible Hulk in 2008. At best it's the Sarah Connor Chronicles, the show that was supposedly the best Terminator outing ever but actually kind of a shitty 40 minutes of talking 5 minutes of sci-fi action every week soap opera like every other filmlook serial, and was still better than most of the Terminator movies and is more ignored than Terminator Salvation or Terminator Genisys because nobody fucking watches tv shows in any great numbers unless they're massive hits like Stranger Things. This show is already done. It's eight episodes. It won't get 30 eps like Sarah Connor because again, the era of long seasons is dead now. It won't break new ground or shift tons of merch or get a Doritos bag tie-in to promote it, it won't change people's minds, it's a show for people like you who already know what GL is and actually care. It's nothing. On previous form it'll be lucky to even get released by WB regardless of who eventually buys them or if they get sold at all.
>>151969305>Cyborg was there because Johns wanted to push his New 52 Justice LeagueCyborg was put into the new 52 because he was the big wig in WB and wanted his Hal Jordan and war of light thing in the movies. >Green Lantern wasn't there because WB was still wary of using the character againSnyder wanted him and he was forbidden from using him because they are unironically racist and johns was in their ear about his great new GL idea.>Snyder wanted to use John Stewart but was told no because WB wanted to use him (and Hal) in the Green Lantern films, because now they suddenly felt it was time to take a second chance.The fucking retarded training day in space thing from that shitty cartoon from nearly 20 goddamned years ago? FUCK THATThey tried that shit in the goddamned live action movie and it fucking bombed. Johns is too in the fucking cave of comics to sell the GL IP to normies. He doesn't understand that it's a hard sell and that he has to sell him as a hero on earth as a likeable person first. Everyone isn't going to like brash devil may cry fantasy version of him that the HEAT fags like. No one did. We saw how badly it shit the bed. Sell the GL mythos first, fuck the space cop stuff. Just keep him on earth as a hero, and a likeable guy, doing hero stuff that's all. That's all they needed to fucking do.They didn't need a bunch of quadripple layered everyone is deep into comics so we just accept the paranormal and comic book aspect just because. That's not going to fucking work. And it didn't work.
>>151967995It's crazy that the shitty Fag Reynolds movie is still hurting this IP to these days.
>>151967995lol no
