Trailer Lanterns | Official Teaser | HBO Max

[beta-ray]

Despite the hard travelin heroes era of Green Lantern/Green Arrow, I still don't get that vibe from this trailer. The context seems different (both in era and in characters), and although we don't know a lot about it (it was a teaser after all), I don't get it tonally either.

I don't mind swearing in a show or trailer but for some reason it really stuck out like a sore thumb to me. I guess it just felt really forced.

When I was a kid, I liked Green Lantern in my Justice League comics. But back then, the character didn't seem to have much personality (none of the characters really did) in the team book. I just kinda liked his power set. Though my childhood was Jordan, I like Rayner better as a character.

There are too many Earth Lanterns though

I wasn’t expecting a serious response, but if you look at literary origins, both the Green Lanterns and the Jedi are based on EE “Doc” Smith’s Lensmen.

I see the similarity on the surface, but I don't really see it beyond that.

I do see that they could do Lensman-type stories with Jedi though.

EDIT: imo of course

Green lanterns aren’t Jedi?

No, they're more Lensmen.

Damn. Beat me to it.
