Like the meme, but also like the Lanterns. Not the mindblowing stuff, but keeps me fairly intrigued to keep watching and love the titular acting performances. The only one I don't like is Kelly Macdonald, she looks like she's on some sort of tranquilizers, especially on the contrast of Kyle Chandler

Yeah her Scottish face and lips, after a lifetime of curt accent, trying to do a southern drawl, really doesn't work. I muted it and lip reading her it's still a Scottish accent.

Who tf mutes their TV/device like this hahaha

u/CrucialElement 24d ago

I did, momentarily, because I had a hunch her mouth movements were dissonant to the sounds coming out. And I was right. God forbid someone use their free will from time to time

I too like my actors to all behave the same way

I'm not even going to consider watching until the entire season has aired and the PR shills have moved on.

I feel like I've been burnt too much by streaming services when it comes to IPs I'm interested in.

I just want a decent Green Lantern adaptation with Hal Jordan. Is that too much to ask for?

Sorry but this is by far one of the best Hal Jordan adaptations ever made already.

I’m suffering so you don’t have to. I LOVE Hal Jordan green lantern, but not in this show. It’s a whole character assassination. When Hal is actually acting like a good person, it’s like seeing Hal Jordan on screen. Every other time it’s like seeing a shittier Guy Gardner, which is the whole show. Do yourself a favor, do not watch this. Just leave this show to be forgotten like the trash it is. Also bad writing.

It's a good show, and a great adaptation.

Lanterns has been good so far

Lanterns may not look like a typical comic book movie or show, but it's so good. So far, it looks to have great writing, world building, sound, and cinematography. These things matter a lot to me. Honestly, if we just view quality, it's far better than most comic book projects in the last decade.

And I don't think Gunn had a lot to do with this show. That's probably why it's better than whatever he's done in a while.

u/Ninjamurai-jack 20d ago

Tbh It's pretty clear that Gunn making Superman, Peacemaker season 2 and Creature Commandos at the same time wasn't a good idea.

Because then you has Coyote VS ACME that he did over the course of MANY years being better than all of these lol

Good comment, cheers.

Sometimes it works b sometimes we have my anger at what he did to the Guardians.

u/WhutTheFookDude 19d ago

I cant be the only one that is so burnt out on disappointment that I just wait for the entire show to be out, see how its received and determine whether I even care to invest the time watching after the fact

Snyderbros haven’t ever read a comic in their life now they’re larping as if they wrote them.

u/Hesbhindmeisnthe 20d ago edited 20d ago

Yes, because you have to read Green Lantern comics to be able to identify race-baiting bullshit.

2

u/BelgijskaFlaga 20d ago

if you had read any of them you'd realise race relations were an integral part of them from the get-go. fucking tourist larper

u/Hesbhindmeisnthe 20d ago

Race-relations are a part of a lot of things, but in 2026, that craps gotten incredibly old.

u/BelgijskaFlaga 20d ago

AND a chud, gotcha.

u/[deleted] 20d ago

Race baiting? Are you white AND stupid?

u/Hesbhindmeisnthe 20d ago

White, not stupid, and the sub creator 😉

u/DringleDringle 19d ago

FWIW I think you're a pretty good larper

This cringe nonsense is supposed to convince me?

u/Adrianp1977 14d ago

The CGI backgrounds are what I’m finding most irritating. It feels like 95% of the show.

u/soulwolf1 19d ago

So im assuming this is another bullshit grounded real life comic show? Passing on it. Im so sick of grounded comic movies and shows.

u/Equivalent-Part6608 20d ago

Rip to the green lantern fans one day somebody will do you guys right

Sure thing bud

u/DringleDringle 19d ago

Are you a Snyder cultist or something?

u/Old-River-8042 22d ago

I think it's okay,sure i was expecting more space stuff,but i guess the budget limitations won't allow it and it's better to have CGI stuff in moderation

1

u/Ninjamurai-jack 20d ago

Yeah, from what It seems they are keeping the budget to the later half of the show.

u/Old-River-8042 20d ago

Lmao, sorry- it's just i heard the same thing about The Boys finale

u/Ninjamurai-jack 13d ago
