So We Got a Lanterns Trailer

So DC is producing a TV series based on the Green Lantern comic books.

Lanterns, because it features both Hal Jordan and John Stewart, will be streaming on HBO+ or whatever it is. The trailer landed to near universal mockery.

This is Kaida's video DCU Lanterns Already Let Me Down

But I'm done, 8 minutes, 44 seconds dude. I'm done complaining about the DCU. I'm done complaining about the lanterns. I am now apathetic. I don't give a [ __ ] man. Do whatever you want 8 minutes, 53 seconds to do. You want to keep doing your Green Lanterns with [ __ ] gray, go for it.

The video is 10 minutes.

There isn't a lot of green. The show seems to violate some basic properties of how the Green Lantern series works. Or worked. But that is basically what DC has been reduced to.

This isn't the only reaction, of course.

I think Tyrone M. summed it up.

The trailer didn't do a damn thing for me. Like a damn thing. I'm not excited. I'm not intrigued.

It will probably be better than Peacemaker, though that is not a high bar.
