Lantern | Trailer (HBO/DC)

I think it may be ok. Looks like TX people are all corrupt and the Lantern is here to weed out TX corruption.

Hal is the Lantern, but doesn't want to give it up. In the end they will both be Lanterns.
 
Looks alright. They're going for something a bit different, which is very much needed for that genre just now and buddy cop makes a lot of sense for Green Lantern. So I'm cautiously optimistic.

Looked better than expected to be honest.
 
This isn't CW, that tweet was trying to be funny.

CW is currently experiencing a death rattle similar to Spike TV and old G4 in their final years before they shut down, which means reruns of old popular shows that were sunset from other networks years ago, for cheap viewership numbers.

Not sure on the tone, comes off as a bit cheap feeling too. Unless they are hiding the green effects somewhere and action, highly possible. Obviously it's only a trailer, but if they really don't show a lot of the comical powers, it's just a Tango and Cash show. Which might still be good.
 
The ring chooses the person it deems worthy to wear it based on strong willpower when its current wearer dies, so I don't really know what's going on here 🤷‍♂️
Could be during Hal being possessed by Spectre or Parallaex. Or about to be?

Plenty of material to use for Hal. For now we know he's training John. Unsure if for a specific task or just fresh into the corps.

John does get injected by something yellow in the trailer and is likely why he says that mean stuff to Hal. Has to learn to fight fear like Hal.
 
I like the look of it... but the whole show must keep that serious tone. They keep throwing around true detective, that sets big expectations for the show.

If it turns into the boys juvenile stuff and cartoonish then it's gonna be hot steaming shit.

Im ok with there not being silly suits and big monsters eating cities etc (the stuff gunns superman kind of flopped )
 
Wow, does this show even have a budget? Why make a GL show with almost zero sfx? Of course this is just a trailer, but the 25 year old Smallville season 1 seems to have done more exciting stuff than anything that will come from this show. 3/10 interest based on trailer.
 
I do hope they were just holding back on the effects since it's a teaser.
But the fact he has a physical uniform rather than a construct and then when he took off flying it just looked normal, no costume change or even green glow.

Though at least they acknowledged other non-human lanterns.
 


I hate people like him who think they know better than 80 years of comics. If you're not interested into doing a GREEN Lantern show, do something else ffs we don't need YOUR vision.

I think it's important to watch the video where that clip came from.



They were being cheeky, sarcastic, and fun throughout the entire interview. Even the questions and answers about the other shows he worked on were ridiculous or dumb on purpose.

It seems that you have fallen for a twitter clipbait KyoZz KyoZz

Wait Damon Lindelof is the showrunner of Lanterns? I'm less excited for this now..

Yeah maybe, but there is still no GREEN in this Green Lantern show. And Lindelof is also a big red flag to me...
 
I don't know, the tone of this is just all over the place. I would try to be optimistic, but the last thing we need right now is a doomer Hal Jordan with a cocky better-than-you replacement without receipts. Add to the fact that it looks like they are going to 'correct' the town and also treat the Lantern Corps as an unserious collective of weirdos, this is just throwing all kinds of red flags to me. I'd like to be wrong, but I'm going to trust my gut and keep the expectations at rock bottom. By the way, you don't have to fucking cuss at every fucking moment to appear more fucking serious and fucking adult.
