John Stewart: Green Lantern Appreciation 2022

[Redjack]

I'm pretty sure he was speaking in general, not towards you specifically.

keeee-rect.

I think that Keli got some hate simply because Bendis created her.

Well, there's that, the whole concept of a "Teen Lantern" to begin with...and the actual execution of Bendis' YJ run didn't exactly help.

This.....

And resentment that the last five he had a hand in or either created- are boasting a tv show (Naomi, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Riri) or expanded a franchise-Miles Morales.

Oscar winning movie and 4 shows and a video game. That is way more than some writers who are worshiped around here.

Per Green Lantern's Light on Twitter, John will be in the DC Mech series.

Is it fair to compare him with Johns in terms of getting stuff into media adaptions ?

Yes in terms of who was being used.

Johns for the most part in his career has used fan favorites and those many would not be bothered with getting used in other media adaptations.

Johns had the projects that attracted too many cooks into the kitchen and he had to answer to many of them to varying results.

Bendis didn't have those issues to a point. Aside from Miles-Jessica, Luke and the others did not have to worry about someone asking "where is blank at?"

A GL film is going to have folks asking where is John and now Jo, Jessica and Simon.

Thanks for this. I had no idea this happened. So it appears that John won the contest at DC Comics Infinite by a decent margin after visiting their site just now. I remembered when I checked on Sunday, I was wondering how Ghost Tour caught up so quickly on DC Infinite and Twitter when John's book had a decent margin!? I wonder whether this individual did the same nonsense over on Twitter? Because John was clearly winning there as well by a decent margin. I wouldn't be surprised if this cheater probably had an agenda against the character.

You'd think DC would've learned from what happened with the vote for killing Jason Todd.

I thought that was just an urban legend?

[Redjack]

I thought that was just an urban legend?

nope. it happened.

And it was a ridiculous, stupid mistake.

[NathanS]

Do you mean that Todd's fate was voted on? That is absolutely true. Plantly of proof and documentation. If you mean that someone set up a machine to call in votes to kill Todd and that's what tipped the balance? I believe it's a case of 'near impossible to prove one way or the other.'

Keli had a lot riding against her from the jump new character, Bendis creation, minority, and another lantern. The pettiness of comic book fans knows no bounds, especially when it comes to Bendis.

[BlackClaw]

I thought that was just an urban legend?

No that was 100% real.

[BlackClaw]

With Zaslov apparently wanting to focus on “languishing properties” I how to God that means we get some goddamn news on the GLC movie.

Agreed. Green Lantern has a hell of potential to be as big of a franchise as Batman and more than enough time has passed from the original Green Lantern movie to where audiences have the bad taste washed out of their mouths.

There is truth to what you say.

For me personally, its been the way Bendis has introduced and then instantly promoted these new characters.

I'm probably just old, but it used to be that new characters had a cameo/guest star in a main series, developed in their own spin-off series/storyline depending on how popular their reception was, and then become the featured star in big team/crossover events. Bendis seems to have short circuited this by skipping the development part of it. The pro is that less popular characters can have a chance to flourish instead of never getting a spin-off series. But the con is that these characters aren't developed all too well.

Miles followed this track, and feels like a fully fleshed out character. Teen Lantern and Naomi feel paper-thin by contrast.
