Give me one good reason why the Green Lantern movie wasn't a buddy cop flick in space with John and Guy as the leads instead of that abortion of cinema with Hal
Give me one good reason why the Green Lantern movie wasn't a buddy cop flick in space with John and Guy as the leads...
Blake Cox
Dylan Clark
Because they’d probably still fuck that up, and give us shitty versions of them instead of just another Hal Jordan?
Elijah Reyes
>Annoying faggot Guy
>Boring ass John
I'm glad you aren't in the pitch meetings.
Gavin Diaz
Irish are gross
Landon Rivera
>MIB
>but green
>in space
It could work
Kayden James
If you want buddy cop you need Guy and Arkilo
William Turner
You have to explain the character origins and concept of the Green Lantern Corp to casuals.
I would have happily settled for a live action remake of First Flight. Where the buddy cops are basically Hal and Sinestro.
Sebastian Jackson
people dont wanna admit this but green lanturn is basically unfilmable and in the same boat as aquaman
you'd need a specific person to make a good gl movie
Thomas Rivera
You mean like Men in Black had to explain the origins and concept of the Men in Black?
Easton Sullivan
Partially but with twice the "J's". And why you'd have two agent "J's" instead of one.
Tyler Cook
>explain
Barely, you start with a scene of John doing some shit like trying to capture some guy and being all rigid about how he does it, then Guy comes in following a lead about some other stuff the guy being chased has done and being a loose cannon about it, John and Guy step on each other's feet, bad guy gets away, they bicker, cut to Oa with John and Guy being debriefed about the incident with the Guardians, turns out bad guy was up to something especially nefarious and Guardians tell John and Guy to pool their resources and information and bring the bad guy in
It writes itself, it's basically just Lethal Weapon
Landon Rivera
Geoff is obsessed with his self insert
Jace Foster
Show hal parallax kn ac as the greatest cop ever going full rogue.
Juan Price
Why are John and Guy space cops?
How did John and guy get to be space cops or how long have they been space cops?
Why two earth space cops when everyone else only seems to get one?
The Green Lantern Corps is an alien concept that needs to be explained. What makes someone worthy needs to be explained. The rings power needs to be explained.
Lethal Weapon is built upon a known pre existing concept. You don't have to explain the nature of a police force in the movie. You don't have to explain their limitations or permissions. You don't have to explain how the guns work.

These are all autistic questions most people don't care about
Wyatt Thomas
Do we have chances that the show will be good?
Justin Gray
They never asked this shit with the gotg.
Just hand waive it with a ten second backstory in the movie.
Joke scene where john is doing something noble and the ring chooses him and guy is doing something hilariously bad ass and it chooses him.
There.
No origin, because that shit ruined the last stinker.
Chase Butler
>Not Jess and Baz as rookie cops with Guy breathing down their necks because Salaak would have his ass if they screw up one more time
Jason Myers
>They never asked this shit with the gotg.
Marvel knows that people are willing to just go with stuff, DC constantly underestimates the audience and thinks we need our hands held through every scene
Someone post that image with DC going "durr we don't know how to explain Wonder Woman" and Marvel going "fuck it, here's a talking raccoon with machine gun"
Michael Lee
>Not Guy as a big brother trying to keep Keli and Minh Lê out of trouble while he acts like a jerk to not show how much he cares
Dylan Taylor
Wonder has to be lampshades because of how deeply creepy and alien she is as a character.
Asher Turner
>Wondy more alien than an autistic tree that only says its own name
It's sad that this is true
Juan Cox
But the movie does explain the "racoon with a machine gun". They explain how Quill got into space and managed to survive, they explain Gamora's family relationships, they explain Drax's need for revenge. They explain damn near everything except for Groot's weird way of talking.
Noah Lee
Arkillo is for Saint Walker
Lincoln Murphy
>talking shit about Guy
Hi Bruce!
Logan Morales
Aquaman was pretty good even if they tried a bit too hard to make him the 90s flavor of badass™.
Evan Campbell
The one punch still happened
Colton Collins
Was that your crowning achievement?
Zachary Ross
>instead of that abortion of cinema with Hal
>Sinestro
>Hal's mentor
>Star Sapphire
>Led by Hal's girlfriend
>Red Lanterns
>Led by who killed Hal's predecessor
>Parallax
>Evil Hal
Because you can't ignore Hal in the GL universe?
Cameron Taylor

That's the problem isn't it, there are so many more interesting characters but they made "me dumb, me no give up" into the lynchpin of the mythos
Joseph Hernandez
Yes it did. We knew Drax was from a planet Thanos fucked up, we knew Gamora was Thanos’ daughter, we knew Peter was abducted by Yondu and we knew Rocket was an experiment or something
Daniel Diaz
>The one punch still happened
user I....
Leo Ramirez
But what about Drax' history on his home planet, we need to have his culture explained and see what his day to day life was like otherwise how can we really connect to the character
See, that's an example of autistic questioning just like that other guy was doing
