This shit looks like a parody, like it's The Boys, same exact feeling I get from both The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker, hard to believe it's OFFICIAL DC content
James Gunn can only do one thing and that's Troma tier garbage, he only got lucky with Guardians of the Galaxy, that where his comic book trash should've ended
The new DC stuff will all feel like they're doing the self-aware meta irony take where they poke fun of themselves and the genre/setting itself. Like the whole thing is a comedy sketch with Jimmy Fallon looking at the camera and pretending to break out of character laughing.
>he only got lucky with Guardians of the Galaxy, that where his comic book trash should've ended
He was a genius for that one. Absolutely nobody except a few people knew who these characters were except fans of the comic from the 70s/80s, meaning he was free to mangle the property, and the people who did complain got downvoted to hell and told to shut the frick up. I fear shit like that happening to Green Lantern because DC already did it with the DCAU and the movies.
>I fear shit like that happening to Green Lantern because DC already did it with the DCAU and the movies.
See what he did with Vigilante, where he transformed the character into a Deadpool clone, a psychotic gay in love with another character who's a beefcake - Peacemaker (in comparison to Deadpool that role being played by Cable).
Nobody complains about how he mangled the character because the character is relatively unknown. Those that complain are silenced by the casual fanboys that only know the show.
Someone on Cinemaphile pointed out to me how modern superhero costume design is just using a classic design and adding a shit ton of lines all over it and now I can't unsee it.
Spider-Man's costume was fantastic tho. Green Lantern has done realistic costumes before but I think they're taking notes for this one from the Earth One comic.
Because highlights, shadows, and muscle definition aren't as sharp in real life as they are in illustration so if you use completely untextured material it just looks completely flat and unimpressive in real life.
TV might actually be the right place for the DCU. The characters are brand names but kinda b-tier in a lot of cases, the weekly soap opera format mimicks the episodic pacing of the comics and because it's lower budget they're not afraid to embrace the corniness and cartoonish nature of the source material.
I mean, just look at the Flash. Did anyone think the movie was really better than the show?
>I mean, just look at the Flash. Did anyone think the movie was really better than the show?
The show might've been better than the movie but the show was still incredibly trashy.
>It's a trashy genre in general.
no, that’s horseshit and i’m sick of this notion that the 4chins hivemind has that superheroes are trash. the nolan batman and raimi spider-man already showed you the genre has potential. the problem is that most of the time they don’t care about making something good.
Green Lantern makes giant fists and trampolines and planes with a ring. It'd be way harder to pull that off than Batman or Spiderman. They'd either gimp his power set or cheap out on the effects in all likelihood. Not to mention most of the supporting GL cast are goofy ugly weird aliens and shit, so it'd be even harder to sell. He's a really hard character to do. Then again they managed to do Thor.
They couldn't really afford to do complicated constructs in the Justice League Animated Series, that was why John used nothing but barriers 90% of the time. Hell, they could *barely* afford to do constructs in the Green Lantern Animated Series. I have no idea how they'd afford them in a live action tv show.

I can't see them making it work, especially if he's going to share the screen with other heroes. His powers and the mythology of the Lanterns is probably some of the coolest shit in the DC lineup if you're looking for something really campy but also full of genuine sentiment, but making live action is a really, really tough sell.

If they go the JLI route then they can have Guy as the guy who always gets knocked on his ass before he can do anything and only really gets to cut loose with his powers once or twice a season.

that wasn't why, they just thought the constructs were dumb. The show tried to modernize things which is why Amazo is a featureless rbot and not an elfman.

And that's why Bruce Timm and his ilk were one of the worst things to happen to DC Comics.

Raimi played into the comics while Nolan did everything to strip away the comic aspect of it. DC was doomed because they followed the examples Nolan set and his handpicked successor Zack Snyder followed.
It doesn't have to be as aggressively stupid and formulaic as The Flash was, though.
It's totally possible to embrace all the corniness of the genre and its history and still have a really good story; I often cite All Star Superman as a great example of that.
>Shouldn't a good GL tv show take inspiration from TNG and DS9
YES, with a heavy dose of Farscape. >with more detective elements?
No, the Green Lantern Corps is more of a peacekeeper force who, until one of their own broke away and created his own force, never really used lethal force. Detective stuff is more suited for Batman or the Sandman.
They're basing all these movies and shows on popular things that was done in the past because most of the new adaptations are being driven by suits and producers.
That's why the new Green Lantern show is inspired by True Detectives, the new Wonder Woman show by Games of Throne, and so on.
>That's why the new Green Lantern show is inspired by True Detectives
That's how I know this show is going to flop. Green Lantern isn't that and they already have their own cosmic horror detective property.
>Are you looking forward to the new live-action Green Lantern show Cinemaphile?
Wasn't it described as "True Detective but with Green Lanterns"? Might be interesting
Whoa, I would've been really excited about this a fricking decade ago before capeshit destroyed all goodwill with years of completely irredeemable unfun slop
More like Green Manlet
damn that guy is RED
Sinestro confirmed?

Based, tbh
I am now. Thanks OP!
Real o porn parody?
Are they going to have the cartoon gl that makes machine guns and wacky hard light projections?

>IT NEEDS TO BE LE TEXTURED!!!
I kinda feel like either Raimi Man or X-Men started this trend. Even Burton Batman wasn't this bad until 3 and 4.
fa/tv/irgins live haunted by their memories of childhood
Spider-Man's costume was fantastic tho. Green Lantern has done realistic costumes before but I think they're taking notes for this one from the Earth One comic.
Because this is from a fricking fan film not anything official

raimiman was always trash
hilarious people still praise these trash movies
compare to amazing spider-man 2 suit to raimi trash....frick raimi and frick that moron maguire.
X-men was non textured leather. Their first textured suits were FC, which people love in here because le suits despise being a shit movie.
That's Nathan Fillion? He looks more like Hal and nothing like Guy.
This is supposed to be Guy?
Guy did start out as "Hal if he ginger" for like three issues before he got his jacket.

The show might've been better than the movie but the show was still incredibly trashy.
the first two seasons were kino and SOVL and then it fell apart in the third. just like arrow.
But that's what I'm saying. It's a trashy genre in general. Mid-budget shows on second class networks are an ideal home

No. They should make a season 2 of Green Lantern: The Animated Series.
Wrong board
No. Frick off.
Shouldn't a good GL tv show take inspiration from TNG and DS9 with more detective elements?

Wait is this an actual Green Lantern tv show or is it Nathan Fillion in the Superman movie?
The first GL wasted Mark Strong. It should have been 3 hours of Mark Strong as Synestro doing Green Lantern shit across the galaxy.
Looks better than the Reynolds movie.
ahahahahaha they're still going through with this ahahahahahahahahahhahaha. I hope HBO goes fricking bankrupt filming this.
QRD on what I'm seeing
Look for it on x.com formerly known as Twitter, it is a fanfilm
it look ok
Why can't they adapt GL Earth One?
too kino
What’s this from ?
It's a fanfilm
WHERE ARE THE WHITE GLOVES?
