I now have motive to finish my GL "Known and Unknown" blog....

Did somebody call my name? Yes. I am a Green Lantern.

John Stewart might be nice for a cameo, as no doubt they're going to be keeping this series with Hal.

Well, they could do a ring-scanning section with all sorts of fun.

Maybe that's where the rumored Welling cameo figures in: the ring scans him as a potential candidate.

Which is hilarious, because it would imply that anyone on Smallville is worthy of tying their own shoes, let alone possessing a cosmic weapon.

Actually I heard that a cameo of John Stewart was in this movie, possibly setting up his role in future films. The human Green Lanterns aren't really legacy characters, so they could easily star alongside Hal.

Of course, this guy could also just be a very bored extra, so who knows.

I wasn't expecting Tomar-Re to be the Lantern that greets Hal. I mean, sure he's one of the better known alien lanterns, but I wasn't expecting to hear him speak.

In the comics he was the first GL (besides Abin Sur) that Hal met, since their sectors are right next to each other, and he often acted like a mentor to him.

Any word on whether or not Mogo'll be in this movie?

If they have a scanning for potential candidates scene, they need to have Guy Gardner pop up. Bonus points if they make it clear that the ring only picked Hal because he was closer.

I personally would love it if there were a few shout outs to the other human lanterns like Alan Scott. Then again, I'm just a massive geek so please ignore me. That being said, I'm surprised just how cool they've made Sinestro look. I mean, just look at the guy. Making a red, lanky David Niven looking dude cool was never going to be easy. I think they did it well.

Theres sex and death and human grime in monochrome for one thin dime and at least the trains all run on time but they dont go anywhere.

The biggest thing this movie has going for it is the combination of glitzy CG effects and old-school make-up, animatronics and props. Abin Sur looks amazing as well as Sinestro. No matter how polished CG looks, you can still tell it's CG (That's basically my feelings on Avatar). Chosing when and where to use which technique adds a great deal of class and it's the subtle things that really surprise you, like Hal's eyes progressively becoming white when he first speaks the oath.

I hope they show some of the cult classic Lanterns mentioned or in a cameo (Meezle Pon, Rot-Lop-Fan, etc)

This would be the ideal spot for a whole load of GL cameos. They could do it in that short Duck Dodgers cartoon, surely they can do it in a feature-length film? You're going to have Green Lanterns moving by in the background, it might as well be people everyone recognizes.

And yes, I badly want this movie to not suck, although I fear the worst, as always.

It hoards Tv Tropes' common insanities.

Is it wrong that the only real reason I want this movie to come out in its current form is so that Marvel can go ahead and get Deadpool underway?

I mean, I love Green Lantern, but...
I don't know. My gut tells me this is gonna suck.

I don't think the movie will suck but I feel the same way. I really want to see Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool (for more than a single scene, anyway)

I still don't see why we need a muscle effect on the uniforms. I rather liked the Green Lantern First Flight costume, what was wrong with that one?

I love how everyone's Green Lantern uniform looks beautiful except Hal's, which still doesn't mesh well.

Is is just me, or do the effects in the commercials/trailers just look... bad?

I mentioned it before that they looked off or fake, but I was sort of shot down with the justification that it's being used to make Hal's presence seem all the more unnatural, to make everything more alien I guess. I don't buy it but meh.

The (I think) CGI uniform is incredibly distracting, as is the (I think) CGI mask. They are CGI, right?

Yeah, the entire costume is CGI. It doesn't look right either. Effects-wise, all the promotion stuff looks terrible.

  • sigh* Why? Was it really that troublesome to just make a traditional costume? :P
