black power show that shits on the original white hero “doesn’t capture the zeitgeist”

Next, Tom kings mister miracle show will be cancellled. Especially since it’s animated and has so much time for production. Calling it now

I'm not sure any cape comic adaptation was ever going to capture it iin 2026

Fucking deserved for killing Hal
H.E.A.T. for life baby

>>156255955
imagine trying to tie your racial identity to some dumb white pedo mass murderer

That cop who shot Hal in the head? Let her go. She’s suffered enough by “accidentally” killing a civilian. Her victim Wouldnt want her held accountable. Trust me bro

i cannot get a grip on this show and people's reactions to it whatsoever

while it was going it was everywhere. tiktok, facebook, my dad who only read silver age GL literally subbed to hbo just to watch it. seemed huge.

cape fans hated the ending and what they "did" to Hal, but it's not like a GoT situation where everyone hated the ending. it was more of a "huh, that's it? hope S2 does something else"

what exactly does capturing the zeitgeist mean if not that? what were they expecting?

what this most reminds me of was the start of the death of the video game industry when you had shit like "yeah we're closing the studio that made the latest Tomb Raider because we needed it to tell 10,000,000". the expectations are insane and i don't get who is making them

As proven with Superman, online hype doesn't translate to irl engagement. Sure, that movie was a cultural event... on Reddit and TikTok. Casual audiences (aka who these blockbusters are aimed to) just didn't seem to respond strongly, specially overseas. I imagine Lanterns had a similar reception.
>>
>>156256137
Superman made $620,000,000

if that's not indicative of irl engagement than what exactly are we talking about here
>>
>>156256218
Educate yourself. It made less than mos even after being adjusted for inflation. That 600 million is composed of less ticket sales than black buster from just ten years ago. It also has a huge budget and big marketing presence. It was a failure
>>
>>156256218
People were curious to see what direction the new DC universe would take, and still it was mostly carried by the U.S (adding to the point that WB themselves pulled the plug early and took it off theaters after only a month). And it ultimately failed to generate real interest in the brand given the next film was a massive bomb
>>
I thought they already had a new showrunner picked out for the second season.

>>156256244
To make matters worse Iron Man’s original 2008 box office total was 585.8 million

The way the whole plot of this show is warped around black grievance politics is really funny once you notice it.
>>
>>156256218
Adjusted for inflation. The first Iron Man movie made 920 million dollars

You’re really undereducted in Hollywood financing if you think superman was in any way a big success. It underperformed in all categories.

The only stay of execution superman gets is all that years Marcel projects sucked ass so it surpassed those in comparison

Sell it to who? It’s worthless

The ending was THAT bad.
>>
>>156256081
This is mostly because you're retarded and don't understand what ROI is.
All of these corporate properties are not grassroot things, online engagement means fuckall for them, what matters for them is making back their money, especially for a studio like WB (now Skydance) who's in an absolutely fucking immense amount of debt.
Your braindead dad subbing to HBO to watch this dreck means nothing, because at the end of the day the suits know that your dad would probably also sub to a streaming service to watch AI-generated garbage made on a fraction of the budget, so it makes 0 sense to fund these $80+ million shows in fucking 2026.

It’s more than that though. John doesn’t become a Green Lantern because they don’t want to show a black guy become a cop. The Stewarts are weirdly chill with each other despite everything because they don’t want to show a dysfunctional black family. It permeates the show.

Wait a minute...That didn't happen...He became a mob boss who muscled out the legit GL with a stolen ring, as a grave robber, after covering up a murder of another GL.

Take all the race-baiting on both sides away, the writers for this show absolutely HATE Superheroes and specifically Green Lantern lore. I can't believe this show even got made to tell you the truth.

And that’s why you don’t hire Lindelof and King and worse, have them be in charge. Seems like people liked the actors playing Hal and John, which probably bought them some good will, but overall it ending up becoming just another way to demoralize people, as with most things Lindelof has touched since the 2010s.

I still don't understand how this was supposed to continue the story with so many torched plot threads. Or how they were supposed to keep using Guy when he got bullied off planet.

I think the retarded black writers thought white viewers would be as tribalistic as they are and not want a white person punished for any crime no matter how vile. See also the town supporting the evil alien robot because it benefited them materially.

Lanterns is one of those shows where it was a constant, "wait until the next episode, it will ALL get explained." And then when it all got explained at the end, it was gay and retarded.
>>
>>156256081
Despite the gaslighting that it was all the chud's fault, normalfags genuinely didn't like the ending.
>>
>>156258094
Part of me feels bad for the writers since they were clearly from abusive households and were trying to make this horrible thing that happened to them “make sense.” But no, it doesn’t make sense because you didn’t deserve to be treated like that as a little kid. It doesn’t justify their character assassination, but there was clearly something going on with them.

normies didn't like the show, only contrarians and people who thought liking lanterns was some sort of moral victory over chuds pretended to like it

King has clear issues that he projects onto eveything he writes. I don't know about Lindeloff but he seems to be a closeted faggot who has a thing for blacks.
>>
>>156258256
Of course not. Lanterns won't get a second season and will probably be declared non canon after Latcham properly establishes the new DCU.
>>
>>156258286
>will probably be declared non canon
Haven't they flat our confirmed they are rebooting?
>>
>>156258295
Have they? I thought they were going to work with what was established and discard everything that Gunn wanted to do in the near future.
>>
>>156258295
The only person claiming a reboot is Cosmic Book News so far
>>
>>156258268
I think you’re right on both King and Lindelof, but that’s probably why they hired the writers they did. I was mostly talking about the writers working under them, but I agree with your take.

Or Earth 3 Crime Syndicate cause John Stewart's story and conclusion was quite literally a villain origin story...He's not even GL at the end, he's Power Ring.
>>
>>156258268
Seriously, Lindeloff is obsessed with blacks and their ''culture''. His Watchmen was only Watchmen in name, it was a power fantasy story about his OC who is a black woman and fucks Dr. Manhattan, who is also black because reasons.

No one really likes the show. They liked the two leads, people only care about Hal and John and their interactions (the Mogo joke). No one gives a shit about the rest of the show. There was weekly cope that surely the mystery would be worth it and we would get Atrocitus and shit but it all fell flat. No one is in a rush to rewatch or discuss Lanterns.
The show's legacy is scenes of Hal and John busting each other balls in a vacuum and that's really not good.
>>
>>156256081
The plot doesn’t have to be good, people just need to like the characters. The last episode “ruined’ the characters and the normies turned on it. Same thing happened with Game of Thrones.
>>
>>156258295
>Haven't they flat our confirmed they are rebooting?
That would just be foolish at this point. It would evaporate any remaining confidence in the brand.
>Why go see this DC movie? They'll just say it doesn't count in two weeks when it doesn't make a gorillion dollars
Realistically, you can just say that nothing in the current DCU matters aside from Superman. Everything else is extremely niche and has minimal impact on the greater universe, so it doesn't matter so much that they don't get followed up on. The only piece of the puzzle that's both important and also really sucks is Lanterns. You easily declare that Lanterns is non-canon if a film maker wants to use Hal in the future.
You think Man of Tomorrow is going to make a ton of references to Lanterns? No way. John's just going to be there for action scenes. Maybe there'll be a line of dialogue or two where Guy warns Superman that something's off with him, but Superman will just brush it off.
>>
>>156258256
Yes

John started as kinda angry in the comics. Why is this always glossed over?

The core reason modern writing is bad, urban Californians don't introspect enough to be able to understand people beyond childish ingroup tribalism and materialism. All they really have as a story is rationalizing taking from an other group(Usually whites) through Chris Chan tier characters. sonichus, made out of envy and spite at greater artists they cant recreate. Unironically low empathy, might be why it's said so often by them.
It's also why big tech fucked up with selling people on ai data centers, if they understood people they could have said to people "We're hoping this will offset the loss of brick and mortar stores, we're willing to help with upgrading electrical infrastructure." but they just acted like they made God and everyone had to go along with them.
>>156258246
It's more than the household, it's the wider community at large, every society has a ruling class that justifies it's self through idealized versions of the past. Usually it's how the ruling class gained power, for black America it's the civil rights movement. Every once in a while they feel the need to recreate events of it, American blacks as a whole havn't improved by much since the 70's, it's sort of a religious ritual. and also they make spiteful sonichus.

On top of being leftist propaganda. Why did it have to just be so fucking retarded?

How did Hal Jordan get ten years in prison, but none of the towns people seemed to get punished?

They were literally harbouring an intergalactic war criminal. Who fired space lasers on US citizens. Oh, and I guess at no point during Hal’s trial did anybody ask why there was a bunch of people shot to death, and why everybody in town got an emergency message to SHOOT HAL JORDAN ON SIGHT

Also amusing to see the Manhunter forcefully impregnated the sheriff and this is treated as a good thing. Fuck consent

>>
>>156259187
Then why didn't they just copy the comics. Why did they retcon John's backstory to make the most over the top racist caricature so Lindeloff, King and Gunn could get their white guilt rocks off? Why wasn't John balls deep in Katma cunt instead of Manhunter dressed up an old hag?
>>156259236
Guess they have that in common with the show runners and you.

Maybe Lindeloff did when he was a teenager, but King doesn't read comics. He gives no fucks about lore or characterization and it shows in his comics.
>>
>>156259448
King is like Bendis in the sense he writes characters out of character and have them speak in his own ''king speak'' that is really annoying.
>>
>>156259318
Fucking this. Forget Hal trying to take the fall, it would have come out how the towns people were traitors, not only to America but humanity as a whole. There is absolutely no way anyone would have been ok with just letting them keep living. If superheros or governments didn't do anything about them, neighboring towns and other pissed off people would not doubt commit vigilante justice on the entire town.

>>156256020
Obviously, they were going to setup up for behind coming back as Spectre. Well, actually there was no setup for that at all. None. Not to mention the plot hole of the manhunters needing any weapons or subversive tactics, also its contradictory that they were human enough to pass a scan but also having such an understanding of how societies function that they can subvert them when supposedly their biggest flaw was that they were immensely powerful but their iron clad unflinching judgement meant they could not understand living beings and tried to judge everyone, which meant destroying everyone.

Brother even if you hated Gunn's Superman if you look at the numbers its clear that the key reason why it didnt pass a fucking billion is the overseas market. Has /co/ forgotten how shit like the first Doctor Strange had to change the lore to pander to the Chinese? Making over 600 mil in the US is impressive but typical Hollywood Exec mindset looks at how that shit bombed in China and drew their conclusions from their. In contrast something like Pixar's Inside Out 2 made almost the exact same amount of money domestically($652 million) but thanks to the overseas market it went waaay past the 1 Billion mark. This isnt about it "not capturing the zeitgeist" and more about wanting Chinese money.
Like you fags who hate the movie got what you wanted so theres no reason to continue pushing this narrative and leaving out that key fact. You dont get movies that pass the Billion mark without China's say so. Like whoever gets the next Superman gig dont be fucking surprised if fucking Lex Luthor made some doomsday machine in fucking Hong Kong is all Im saying.

Weren't people showing this wasn't even tracking on neilsen ratings through the shows whole run? This isn't some mystery.
Why are people reacting to this news with
>b-but it had tiktok memes!!
Online engagement doesn't equate to actual engagement with core audiences. If that's how it worked Netflix She-Ra wouldn't be erased and Inside Job wouldn't have gotten canceled.

>>
>>156261130
It kinda can mean anything. From that it is too woke, people want white male lead worship or or that the writing wasnt using tiktok or k-pop.
That term is just sugar coating that the show wasnt watched because they fucked it up.

because the budget was 135,000,000.
You can’t spend that much and end up making a bad product that nobody wants.

It's this. Even if shit like the Odyssey does bangers because it's Nolan retards like Gunn and Lindelof will quickly pay for woke shit being too prominent

Leftist writers have a big problem in that they think white people are tribal and have white collectivism, like how they tricked black people into making. There is no white community. They don't even think on the terms that a person from Florida and one from Oregon are going to have different lives, or even that white Europeans are from different countries. They just see white like they see black; a big amorphous blob.

>>156260768
Yes
>>
>>156257704
>It’s more than that though. John doesn’t become a Green Lantern because they don’t want to show a black guy become a cop.
That annoyed the shit out of me. The problem with cops in America is not that they have too much accountability and oversight. But this leftist kneejerk reaction to hate cops ends up encouraging vigilantism and partisan violence. Or drum circle drownings.

Three episodes were all buildup to some big cool huge confrontation ending with John got a ring, got a lantern, Manhunter is alive and killing people, everyone hyped


...ending is a big fat nothing, no confrontation, no superpowers, noting happens, John did not even stop the bad guy.

It was a Game of Thrones-tier bullshit ending that pissed off everyone.

Good. Because the whole story seems like it was written by a psychopath with no understanding of any human morality.

It's funny cause this guy was on board with the show until the final episode because like a lot of normalfags, he assumed John was speedrunnung becoming a unregistered Lantern so he could administer justice his own way and then he just... doesn't do anything with his power except tell Guy not to use his power either. Complete wet fart of a conclusion that retroactively makes the build up seem pointless.

Reddit spacer, almost all engagement with this show was centered around Hal, the character they effectively killed off twice.
They used up their most valuable commodity on a shitty mystery plot with no good twists.
Even the residual marketing is all centered around Hal, like OPs image. They had people's attention then they blew it.

The purpose was the usual bait and switch. Draw the goyim in with a based white man. Kill and humiliate the white man. And replace him with a negro.

Be thankful there’s no season 2
>>
>>156266151
I mean duh, they weren't heavily involved with it so the show not doing well would have been an issue whether they left or not.

I really hate how shills and grifters misuse the word fascism. They are literally socialist/communist/capitalist scumbags not different from each other but everything they don't like is fascist .
Oh libshit/neocon is corrupt? Fascist!
Socialist bad? They are the real fascist
Communist evil? Just like fascism.
These critics can't really get a good honest review and lack total awareness or purposely pretend to not to.

This is why nobody sane see a movie critic review, just skip to the common people comments when looking at a movie.

No, we are very specifically NOT talking about quality.
Zeitgeist refers to relevance in public consciousness. A lot of very low quality things dwindle in public consciousness.

I can't even celebrate. Lanterns was a tragedy in and out of universe, good ideas trapped within stilted modern social and gender politics-laden writing.

If they had just focused on the core of the story between Hal and John, and centered it on the burden of duty and Hal fighting to keep his job as much as not pass that burden on to John who was forced into it, things would've been so much better. Instead we got this soulless, confused "nature versus nurture" mystery box garbage where OCs drive the plot, heinous crimes are excused and terrorists are allowed to roam free because the world allegedly owes them one.

And now there's not even the slimmest chance any good can come from this trainwreck. Just absolutely tragic.
