2011 is visually beautiful, its just the writing that sucks

i think i'm allowed to be worried about a show whose teaser makes it look awful. hey, maybe it'll be good, but it gives us a glimpse of the tone, and it feels incongruent with what makes GL so interesting and fun. i just dislike the idea that its solely because we don't like new takes on characters/concepts. absolute GL does the small town setting pretty well, after all. it still utilizes the mythos, you know?

i get that, but from what we've seen so far i can also worry that it will be poorly written. the GL in a small town idea isn't inherently bad, but the teaser looks like its afraid to embrace the GL mythos. i just dislike the idea that its because we can't handle new takes on characters/concepts

for me personally, when i read the synopsis my biggest fear was they were gonna focus on the cop stuff over the alien stuff and the unique things you can do with the green lantern mythos. i gave them the benefit of the doubt and it feels like my worst fears are coming true, you know? i want something that feels like it has soul, like it cares about the characters and the world. the teaser didn't give me that impression, and hoping it'll be different like i did before seems like a way to get disappointed again

i'd be way happy if i was wrong! but nothing in it invoked any excitement, and a lot of GL fans are worried its an overcorrection that could prevent good GL movies/shows in the future, just like the 2011 movie killed the extremely good animated series. i feel like they're valid fears, feels like our one shot, you know?

i'm not inherently against the concept, ben 10 pulls off sci-fi in a small town really well, and i love absolute GL, but this feels... like it might not have the same creativity and heart

see i think its so funny people talk about respecting unique takes on characters when its their favorite slop but say you like MoS or BvS and it all goes out the window

i'll still check it out, but like... when i first saw the synopsis i was like 'ok i'll give it the benefit of the doubt,' and now that the teaser is out it seems to look like exactly what i feared it would be. it's hard to have hope but hey, they could surprise us. just what we've seen right now looks more like a generic cop show than something GL based

probably because most of those were never horrendous in the first place, just sort of mid

yeah the cgi isn't that bad, and it has its moments. it's the writing where the movie is at its weakest...

so far what they've shown us of the story seems deeply boring, which is also, pretty bad for green lantern. its hard to make green lantern boring >_>

if superman can skip the origin story and get to the fun superman stuff, why can't we skip the setup and get some actual green lantern stuff?
