Because the show runner, Damon Lindelof, thought Green was stupid or something.
Green Lanterns isn't my favorite comic of all time, but if you are going to hire someone to adapt a superhero comic for TV, maybe you should hire someone who doesn't hate superhero comics.
This is Critical Drinker's video Lanterns - A Superhero Show That Hates Superheroes
Instead of making a show about intergalactic space cops going on cosmic adventures and battling all manners of weird and wonderful alien threats, they instead decided to make a Temu version of True Detective, complete with bleak, cynical, and mostly unlikable characters who constantly have to swear to prove just how edgy they are. Patched together with all the tedious tropes of modern Hollywood writing and the usual laundry list of safe, predictable political targets like Republicans, smalltown America, and immigration policy. And holy fuck balls is it tedious.
The video is seven and a half minutes long, which is much shorter than watching the actual episode.
I love the videos from folks like The Critical Drinker, because they save me from wasting time on shows and movies I might have been tempted to watch.
Nerdrotic also chimed in, on X, and YT.
Hal Jordan was fridged in Lanterns.
