One of the things that bothers me is that th recharging of the lantern has become a lost plot point.
THe show had the ratings.
There were no toys and it didn't help that most of the movie toys actually got tossed out before the film was out. If you could find them and not see them already in clearance before the film. Looking at YOU Wal-Mart.
Young Justice had toys but you had to HUNT for them. Especially the deluxe ones and mainly Aqualad version.
That won't happen. That would mean beating the guy from Wakanda.GLCorps movie gets green-lit and absolutely destroys the box office.
A GLC movie should be just about THAT a GLC not love letter to one or two guys.
You got a big enough roster to have a FIELD DAY with enough toys to drive X-men and Spider-Man crazy.
This should be the GI Joe of DC.
But it falls on DC. If we can get a Spider-Verse film with Miles, Gwen & Peter and no fan war. Surely we can get a GLC film with 6 Earth lanterns and 4 alien ones.
Spider-Man is not a legacy mantle. Miles may be a popular character in his own right but he's no real competition for Peter, so why would Spidey fans have a problem with Peter being a supporting character/older mentor in a Miles-centered animated movie. With a legacy franchise like GL, the subject of equal treatment is a different animal. Hal fans don't want Hal to play second fiddle to another GL, same way fans of other GLs don't want their favorites to play second fiddle to Hal. The fan vitriol in a franchise like that is much bigger for obvious reasons.
You completely lost me
Yeah I don't care about that, I just want my Green Lantern not screwed up and tarnished, as it was created.
Apples and Oranges. I'm a Green Lantern fan. And Hal Jorndan IS Green Lantern....
I don't care what they do with the other ones other than I wish they would just stop publishing that .... stuff
For nearly a generation now they keep screwing with this character, and screwing him up. Theyt put garbage writers and artists on the magazine, and even the good ones do lousy work. Has there ever been a worst GL than Stantons? That was like Archie. They get bored and they make the man without fear mope and depressed. They make him old. They make him nearly ominpotent and then evil. He stops saying his oath in most issues. They attach him to the darn Spectre. Then they finally bring him back but no.. then they add a bunch of other Green Lanterns. They then have a GL of every flavor and race. Then we have color wars, whoses storylines, even the writers didn't understand. There is no adults in the editorial room here...
screw it all.
Why would a GLC film need to beat Black Panther?
I think another difference is that Peter is the MCU Spider-Man and probably will be the only live-action Spider-Man for the forseeable future, so a supporting role in one animated movie probably won't make that big a dent.
I wasn't responding to you specifically, but I don't get what was so confusing, my point was that comparing Spidey to GL just doesn't make much sense given the nature of both franchises.
Same here, just pointing out that, again, comparing Peter, Miles and Gwen to the Green Lanterns doesn't make a lot of sense.
Well, someone else can just as easily say that to them "Kyle Rayner IS Green Lantern". For the third time, my point was that it doesn't make sense to compare a franchise that has always been about legacy to Spider-Man.
And despite all of that, Hal is a character who stands the test of time. Otherwise we won't have someone like Grant Morrison writing his book.
Do I really need to say it again? There's no comparison between Hal Jordan and Peter Parker. They would only be comparable if Hal was the only GL in publication from the late 50s until the 2010s. Hence, if someone started reading comics in the 90s, their GL would likely be Kyle, or if their first exposure to the character was the DCAU, their GL would be John. That's the nature of this franchise, it's not just one character that's been the sole representative of the mantle for 60 years, despite that Hal is the most enduring and prominent character associated with it. I don't get what's the problem here.
