Why do people think John should be the main Green Lantern?

Is it really just because of the DCAU?

For me, I don't care about Hal. And we all know why Cyborg was shoved down everyone's throats.

People don’t read comics user and it’s literally only because of DCAU. If you ask the average person who Hal Jordan is they probably wouldn’t know

who is hal jordan

Yes, it's because of the DCAU. Nostalgia is one hell of a drug.

Can we all finally admit the DCAU was overrated?

The original Justice League most certainly was. I really feel like writing large-scale stories wasn't their strongest suit.

He's the one from the terrible live action movie.
The one from Green Lantern — The Animated Series.
And the one from the Dark Justica League universe.

I thought the second season was pretty good. For me the first wasn't as strong and I think the last season started losing people because it was mostly about random characters with less focus on the main crew. Some might prefer that, but it's not hard to see why people would want more Batman or Superman.

See, average people might remember that there was once a live-action Green Lantern movie starring a white guy, but there's no way they'd be able to tell you that the character is called Green Lantern, at best they'd recall that he was played by Ryan Reynolds.

80% - DCAU
20% - probably the most serious and capable/stable GL

>The one from Green Lantern — The Animated Series.
I'd be shocked if even 5% of the people that remember JLU, remember a GL cartoon. Most of them barely seem to remember Superman had a show.

>average people might remember that there was once a live-action Green Lantern movie starring a white guy, but there's no way they'd be able to tell you that the character is called Green Lantern,

>there was once a live-action Green Lantern movie

Those people are retarded.

And I hate to say this but I know what you meant.

It was but it was still pretty good. Better than the majority of cartoons people hold up like Gargoyles or Avatar.

>”Main” Green Lantern
This just tells me you don’t get the concept. It’s the same stupid complaint as “too many human Lanterns”.

Yeah, sorry, I meant to say "no way they'd be able to tell you that the character is called Hal Jordan". My bad.

John was like, just the black guy, he’s the reason a lot of people think Green Lanterns just shoot lasers. He was funny with Wally and fucked Hawkgirl but I don’t know why people think being in a cartoon means they should make a movie off him

Superman was just the white guy. That’s dumb user, they all got equal characterization. A remake of the GL movie with John wouldn’t be a bad idea

>t’s the same stupid complaint as “too many human Lanterns”.

Then I don't get the concept because I totally agree with that.

Because you’re a characterfag

No, it's way better than what DC is producing nowadays so I appreciate it more with the passing years. Good product.

Not really. John just had the romance and Wally friendship. And a GL and Flash being friends isn’t really unique. He grew that goatee and that’s it.

alan scott is the main green lantern

Yeah. But we should give other Lanterns time to shine, like the black former marine one (who should be changed to be not a marine because that's problematic) and the Muzzie one (who won't be using a gun because again problematic) and that black girl who hacked into the GL power core to steal Green energy.

which character am I a fag for?

How the hell should I know? The point is that you’re dumb enough to think Green Lantern is something that should only be held by one person

It's just because they want a token black guy and literally every other alternative sucks compared to John. Including Cyborg.

Not one person, one person per sector.

>you dad

Buddy Earth is a cosmic shithole and there’s only ever one in our sector at a time unless called in for backup. The rest are far across the universe, and they rotate. Again, you’re stupid

Guy is better than John.

Hal and Guy bounce off each other really well even if they annoy each other.

Different user here and I get the Green Lantern being part of a group. Like, apart from Alan Scott who is his own thing.

I'm not really interested in Green Lanterns enough to check, but is Earth and its sector the only one to have like a dozen Green Lanterns? It's certainly logical enough given how much shit goes down on Earth and how dudes like Sinestro make it prudent to have multiple GLs per sector to keep each other accountable (although thin green line am I right?).

But Earth and humans seem anomalous in that regard. Whenever I see splash pages I can't recall any other species having more than one Green Lantern except humans.

Hal is an ass hole.

>a dozen
An exaggeration. Normally GL’s are in charge of an entire sector, which is ridiculous in itself. There’s only one MAYBE two around Earth on duty at a time. The only reason why we have 6 human lanterns is because alien ones keep dying on Earth and the rings fly to the closest successor

Simon and Jessica are there together all the fucking time.

I could make excuses for Lanterns getting called to OA for some other job. The n it was just hey "brown Lanterns" they're not good enough to do it themselves like every other lantern before them, let's team them up. Then there's Bendis with his let's HACK the power ring bitch. Come on, you're seriously defending this.
