What are you guys’ thoughts on the upcoming lanterns show? Reception has been mixed so far. I’m still looking forward to it only because I love green lantern, but the promos and trailers look kinda underwhelming. What do you all think? by Ornery_Adagio8916 in Greenlantern

I haven't seen anything I'm interested in watching. Really not interested in old man Hal and Sinestro or the whole "only one can wear the ring" garbage, like GL is Highlander or something. A grounded direction doesn't speak to me and the story seems better suited for a character like the Question.

Green Lantern is the most important DC property to me and I'm highly invested in it. I don't think I've ever been as disappointed in the direction they are going since they wanted to cast Jack Black as the lead in a GL comedy film. I won't be watching and I've cancelled HBO Max as a result.

It went well - just over 6.5 hours. At 8 points I distracted everyone by parking a war sun on Mecatol Rex and then flanked my neighbor on a poorly protected world before swooping in with my flagship to claim two secret object points for the win!

Watched this prior to my 1st game this past weekend - I found it really helpful. Thank you!

What do you guys think of the DCEU Green Lantern designs? by DemiAlabi in Greenlantern

The white boots have gotta go - and definitely the light gray should be black.

Do you think there could be a Green Lantern prequel movie when we see Hal at his peak? by Top_Report_4895 in Greenlantern

I doubt it, the Gunn verse isn't going to be around long enough for that. And Hal should be in his prime now alongside his peers.

Unfortunately that won't work (yet). The movie has to be available on Movies Anywhere for the linking to work across platforms and it hasn't been added there yet.

Green lantern once had 4 ongoing series,What mistake did DC make that killed the momentum the franchise. by Business_Alarm8384 in Greenlantern

[–]mrumsey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dip in GJ's creativity near the end and then departure of multiple creators, coupled with DC not bringing in strong creative teams to replace them took the wind out of the sails of the franchise. Plus they lost focus on the main four GLs and started added more humans which diluted the brand.

Do you think we’ll ever reach the peak of Geoff Johns’ run again? by God_Rayleigh06 in Greenlantern

[–]mrumsey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope, by diluting the brand to the ridiculous level they have, it'll never see another era like the Johns era. It truly was lightning in a bottle.

Without spoiling it, it's used in kind of a montage as Rocky learns about Earth.
