I love the guy and the courageous left-leaning progressive stances and slandering he’s doing to the you-know-who administration atm.
I think he’s up there with Ruby Setnik, Romesh Ranganathan and Stephen Colbert as my favourite leftist satirist, and his podcast is such a fun time-waster of a audio frequency too.
But I respect your opinion if you aren’t a big fan of his.
He’s my favorite Green Lantern
Lanterns ended up being a solid show…assuming they allow it to be a miniseries.
I did enjoy it, but I’d prefer they not do thr TV show format for Green Lanterns moving forward. The writing, character development, casting, and acting was all quite good, there just was not NEARLY enough Green Lantern-ing. And it was interesting what they were able to do with a limited setting, but I don’t ever want to see that Nebraskan town or anyone in it ever again. Except the kid, for obvious reasons.
4 years from now when there is a Green Lantern movie, the climax will take place in Rushville and somewhere in the world, I will be hearing a feint scream.
Remember that James Gunn is on the record as saying that they want the DCU to follow the "graphic novel format rather than the MCU’s comicbook format. Things will be more themed and relatively self contained. See Lanterns as a True Detective story and Clayface as a straight A24 or Neon style body horror film.
Probably why John Stewart’s patrol beat at the end of Lanterns is more focused. More investigation, less super powers.
I do overall prefer the idea of that approach. I like shared universes but Marvel for example has become droll with every movie or show being a trailer for the next slop content and nothing else. So I liked it, don’t get me wrong. But I have some notes…and if this is the only GL thing we’re getting I don’t know if I’d say I’m “satisfied”, especially given the completely lack of GL content since… ever. I am on board enough to continue watching the DCU though.
Oh goddammit ya got me good. The ole made ya
