Not knowing anything about Green Lantern I think it works ok, maybe because of Chandler, but it's not unique. Wolverine and the Supergirl movie come to mind,


Fair. I've never seen either of those but yea, I'm sure not completely original. Different from the Green Lanterns I've seen in the past at least.

Seems like it's the consensus but Kyle Chandler's take is the highlight of the show so far. Can't really find a reason to dislike this take on it.

I'm in so much pain i passed out 10 minutes into last nights episode so i can't speak to anything about it. Hopefully finish it tonight.

I’m seeing

- correct
- he’s right
- yep
- don’t forget the naked charcoal drawing.

It’s not that what I’m saying is inaccurate, it’s just not that big a deal?

I disagree. Stuff like this matters when you have writers, directors and actors saying the stupid trash & advocacy pushes , it needs to be called out.

Are you whining about something you don't even watch again?

How in Gods name could you have possibly gotten that from my post I thought you'd just skip over the point because it showed you were ill informed by not watching it but you've taken it as you are correct, that is hilarious.

- yep


Yep... happens all the time and not at all a reason to hate on the show overall. Imagine if we put every single scene in any James Gunn movie or show under a microscope. We'd be here all day. Way less goofy "Marvel comedy" in this (I know it's DC). Having way less dumb comedy in this is pretty refreshing given all the dumb humor in the MCU.

Now we're upset about a two second clip of a... drawing? But either way, yes less dicks is better.

Just half the stuff you're calling out is ill informed.

Guy who hasn't watched the show: What did I say was wrong?

Guy who watched the show: Here's where you're misinformed and here's why.

Guy who hasn't watched the show: i don't care what you say I am right and even though you disagree with me I am going to say you think I am right.

This is where we are Not sure why I respond to your posts, it goes no where.

You're arguing with a guy who cries about things he doesn't even consume

At some point it's on y'all for replying and letting him ruin threads

Everybody knows the best place to get the attention of Hollywood executives is an obscure college football message board.

calling out wokeism everywhere you see it and every time you see it helps other people to notice it as well. then the more they notice it, the more they start calling it out to other people. and so on. eventually, enough people get fed up enough with it and stop consuming woke Hollywood bullshite, then the bottom line is impacted, and the bottom line gets the attention of Hollywood executives.

you, of course, presumably being at least of average adult intelligence understand all this perfectly well, but you are pretending not to know things and acting like posters here really believe that Hollywood execs read TigerDroppings.

anyways - the problem with this concept, of which i am guilty myself, is that you start to see woke bogeyman where they perhaps do not exist. but i'm fine with erring on the side of assuming left wing agendas on pretty much all media.

that said, i am making no commentary on Green Lantern in particular, as I havent watched it. i am speaking in generalities.

Not whining in the least. Just pointing out we've got yet another failed attempt to bring a known IP to screen by people who insist on dumping on the very things which made this much liked world an insufferable insertion of current day garbage.

Movie/TV Board, mate.


And I don't do Reddit, so this seemed like the next best place.

Except this doesn’t happen. What actually happens is the posters that cry woke in every thread annoy normal posters so much that anything they post is dismissed as attention-seeking nonsense. The evidence is right here in this thread, among countless others.

i think more likely it's a mix of both. there's very little question that the anti-woke outrage mob online has had impacts on the bottom line in Hollywood. it's obviously unquantifiable, but flop after flop is at least circumstantial evidence. clearly there are other factors at play too, like movies and shows just being shitty - but even that is arguably an extension of the first.

but you're also exaggerating about crying woke in every thread. i realize hyperbole is good for making a point, but even the most rabid anti-woke posters on this board routinely post positive comments and reviews on stuff they like. it's like being anti-anti-woke has in turn become its own annoying thing.

The quality is absolutely related. When you do something like make a non-sensical, controversial casting choice, you're telling me that making the best, most entertaining movie possible isn't your goal. Your real goal is to be edgy, sell some POV, get across whatever message you want to get across. If you can do that and still make a good movie, great, but it's going to detract from how good it could have been.

Ted Lasso S3 is a perfect example of ditching quality so you can pitch a worldview.
