We have to give credit where credit is due. It doesn’t seem as if Lanterns saw a drop in viewership from its first episode to episode two. Actually, just the opposite.

Episode 2 of the DC Studios series has posted the highest single-day total on HBO Max’s worldwide chart since the series arrived, according to FlixPatrol.

That beats the premiere’s own peak and blows past House of the Dragon, which had held the top of that chart almost every day since its August 9 finale without airing a single new episode.

Second episode wasn’t as good as the first for me.

Madking this week after it had a top 5 all time premiere for HBO...

Its premier did about 40% of what the HOTD S3 finale did. It did worse than Acolyte’s premier on a more accessible platform so it’s early but it’s not a hit or anything.


He's in the mud on this one.

I started it with that post but I'll be good today, no responding to trolls. M/TV board trolls are my weakness.

As long as Kyle Chandler is pissed off the entire episode, I'm good.

It's a good goal to have. Don't think you'll make it though.

I'm not complaining about the slow burn aspect really either, it just seems like a good chunk of the episode was kind of pointless. The whole sequence of Hal bringing out the alien bodies was rendered moot when the small town sheriff was just like "Yeah, I knew about the alien detectors already." I also don't understand why he dragged out all three bodies when he just needed one.

I also feel like they're over explaining some things. Like it was obvious the bird thing was impressive just due to hal's facial expression when John created it. They then reiterated how impressive it was with the aliens commenting on it; and finally they just had John say he was told it was impressive by the aliens.

To that end, is John a superior green lantern in comic book lore? I admittedly know very little about the lore.

I did like the sequence with the aliens kidnapping john and going over the manhunter stuff and the Sinestro bit was cool and has me interested. It wasn't all bad, just not as good as the premiere for me.

It really wasn't

But 1st episode got good word of mouth, which is why 2nd episode saw a punch up in viewers.

We're discussing characters that have been around since the start of the 60s and the start of the 70s. While Hal has been the standard for 65+ years, he's also been the greatest villain. It comes and goes in ebbs and flows. John got a huge boost when Cartoon Network made him the de facto Green Lantern. Poor Kyle Rayner was the standard bearer for a generation, and now he's way below Hal, John, and Guy. Hell, Abin Sur gets more mentions than Kyle, and he dies at the start of pretty much every appearance.

he's been in my algorithm lately and his interview about his scene with Leo in wolf of wall street was great he just couldn't get the scene right and marty called a break and when he realized his charachter really hated Leo's charachter it clicked and his training came back to him and he nailed it the take right after the break he thought Marty was going to replace him

Not sure who did that but you realize that is encouraging normal M/TV board conversation right? A financial update on a summer blockbuster.

But seeing as you had like 500 posts in that thread alone and never saw the movie I can see how just a normal movie update would bother you.

I watched that interview last night. The guy is just entertaining to listen to.

House of Dragons was a diarrhea fart of a show. It had so much potential and just fricking sucked this season.

Lanterns is original and better executed...so far.

Got that one last night too

Kyle Chandler seems like a likable dude, both on and off screen. Passes the "beer" test. I'd definitely like to get a beer with him and talk about sports and shite.
