Lanterns was a mistake, BUT I actually don’t hate the idea of having an older Hal who’s been around for a while, with both Guy and John around as GLs as an adaptation. You could even introduce Kyle as a friend of John, with their mutual interest in art. Now, not saying Hal would be 60, just older and more seasoned than the other human Lanterns. Maybe an animated origin movie with Sinestro based on Emerald Dawn II and Secret Origin, and the other GLs get flashback origins.
>>156241787Forgot to mention, you could also have a 60 something Alan Scott as kind of a mentor to Hal. This Alan would be like the one they were planning for the live-a ruin movie—a hidden hero who worked with a reverse-engineered GL ring. Also he’d be straight to attract DILF loving women viewers.
>>156241916>he’d be straight to attract DILF loving women viewersIgnoring the gay retcon would get it cancelled on the spot despite Alan having a dozen of wives and children
>>156242193How would they stop it, though? You just don’t respond to anything and they get distracted by something within a week.
>>156241787Just have Hal be a buck rogers 60's style green lantern and 1920's version of Alan have something akin to a prototype ring where he charged himself using a green lantern battery.Would be easy. Have Hal litterally be a man out of time as he started as the GL in the 50's/60's and he's barely aged because of the GL energy and other alien nonsense. Make John the GL of the 70's before he fucked off to space to live on mosiac and Guy the 80's hothead(bonus points if they go full lethal weapon with him with John as the guy who's too old for this shit) Kyle as the 90's lantern and then brew up another Jessie as the 2010's lantern then brew up another new Lantern.
>>156242337Cool ideas, anon. Maybe when Hal started going grey is when he turned off his aging. You could also still have young Carol around as Star Sapphire with the same explanation for her.
>>156241916Alan Scott in Emerald Knight full regalia.That suit is awesome.
>>156241787Anon, there's a reason why the GL run tanked hard in the early 90s; young readers didn't want to read about a character who was as old as their dad and the authority figures in their lives.
>>156243289I thought it was because the audience was Gen Xers and Millennials instead of Zoomers and Gen Alphas?
>>156243396Young people don't want to read about old people.
>>156243412lmaoif the comics industry thinks like you no wonder they've been beaten by manga
The main problem with Laterns is that it’s imitating True Detective, not the first season or even the second but the really shitty third and fourth seasons
>>156243516The problem with lanterns is that some deeply retarded idiot wants it to be true detective or fucking training day of all things.Who in the FUCK is in charge of the goddamned IP?
>>156243440Hey retard, it's literally why Emerald Twilight happened. Nobody wanted Hal as an old geezer.
>>156243610>Hey retard, we did a retarded move because we were thinking like retards back then.DeepNext you'll argue in the same breath about how no kid wants to read kid-identifier characters
>>156243412Goku and Vegeta are in their fifties.
>>156243646And then they brought Hal back, didn't make him a geezer and they had the most successful run of their life, which proved that yes, nobody wanted old man Hal.>>156243664Except they never make it a plot point about Goku and Vegeta being older. In the Gerard Jones GL run, it referenced the 1970s, which aged Hal in real time into his early 40s. It didn't help that Hal was standoffish and unsure of himself during that run. Meanwhile, John Stewart's Mosaic run was starting to outsell the main run because it didn't have the hang-up of an old guy being the lead.
>>156242193Well, the faggot audience aren't exactly turning out to support stuff made for them. Bros wasn't breaking box office records, and nobody cared for the gay faggot Eternals.
>>156243412Young people don’t read.
>>156243568Training Day would work great for Green Lantern IF it was Hal and Sinestro, with Sinestro in the Alonzo role. Basically Emerald Dawn II.
>>156244234Emerald Dawn II came out a decade before Training Day.
>>156244827I’m aware. I’m saying you do the story of Emerald Dawn II with a Training Day flavor.
>>156243664Good point. It’s strange how audiences don’t consider a character old unless they look old.
>>156241787the setting was the problem. I don't care about some bumfuck hillbilly town in my space cop tv show. if Hal had helped Sinestro escape from prison because he felt the need to repay the person he sees as a father figure or was just corrupted then it would be awesome, but no, it was some nobody from the shitty town.John also got shat on. doesn't even get his own ring, battery or costume. his final enemy is some dumbass kid and has to pay a slut blackmail reparation money even though nobody could prove he killed Hal (the sheriff killed Hal) and nobody who would matter actually cares.
My John Stewart is an uptight unc. Making Hal the unc gets in the way of that unless you make the show a fun 80s style buddy cop movie where both the black and white guy are too old for this shit and shoot green lasers n shit every episode.
>>156244234GOD FUCKING DAMNIT NO IT WOULDN'TIT IS FUCKING CRINGENO ONE ON FUCKING EARTH BELIEVES A MAN NAMED SINESTRO WHO LITTERALLY LOOKS LIKE SATAN IS A GOOD GUYTHATS A MAJOR REASON WHY THAT SHIT DOESN'T WORKNo one cares about the jordan sinestro villain origin story.The fact that you don't understand that the biggest sticking point of the GL IP is the GL concept itself tells me everything I need to know.
>>156245707Do you need a tissue?
>>156241787Maybe Hal could be older man while John, Guy and Kyle are all underaged boys and Hal gives them the Arisia treatment to welcome them to the corps
>>156241787>Lanterns was a mistakeThe entire DCU was a mistake. That’s precisely why it’s being rebooted yet again. Hopefully, in about twenty years or so, we’ll finally get a decent GL movie or series with Hal in the lead ofc.
>>156245745hal likes girls, not boys
>>156245945I doubt it gets rebooted. Retooled, sure, but not rebooted. At most we get some retcons. I could be wrong, but I doubt it.
>>156243664adult goku has had the same look since the beginning of Z, he might as well be immortal. in fact, I don't thinkl a single character in DB has died of old age.
>>156246955Guru did. Can’t think of any others, though.
