TV/Streaming Thoughts: Lanterns Teaser- True Detectives, But With Green Lanterns (DCU/HBO Max)

Alright, now it's time to cover the second project of the DCU coming this year in the teaser for the next series Lanterns, bringing back Hal Jordan into live action again after the 2011 Green Lantern movie and the live action debut of John Stewart, the Green Lantern most people of my generation know about thanks to the DCAU with Justice League and Justice League Unlimited.

The series is in the style of True Detectives with Hal and John investigating a murder in a rural town in Nebraska which may be from space apparently given the series will feature Sinestro, as well as Guy Gardner, played again by Nathan Fillion. I understand that some people want to see the Lanterns in space given that they are DC's most prevalent cosmic characters, but I'm interested in a good dramatic murder mystery here and there and I do like to see Hal do investigation work as part of his job. I just want to know how this connects to outer space, despite how this will connect to the major plot thread of the DCU with Salvation, assuming there will be references to that. Maybe Flagg Sr. will show up near the finale? Who knows?

The duo of Hal and John here, played by Kyle Chandler and Aaron Pierre respectively, have good chemistry with each other and I like how they contrast each other: Hal being an older mentor with a more relaxed attitude given his longer experience as GL, and John being the younger and more recent recruit with a stricter personality given he was part of the military before joining the GL Corps. Despite that, John does butt heads with Hal on how he feels that Hal is just too old for this, but Hal shrugs it off and just does what he does without breaking a sweat. It'll be good to see where their chemistry go through the series and how John will be fully recruited and with his own ring and suit. Especially with one of Hal's "exercises' being to see how John tries to escape a moving car off a cliff with Hal jumping out right before and with his ring on the dashboard. Don't you just love mentor/student dynamics?

Alright, just to get this out of the way, let's talk about the suit.

I know there's complaints on how this suit looks dull and bleak compared to what most people think about Green Lantern suits: bright emerald green with a black base, like what Hal and John normally wear in the comics. I do understand why fans would hat this suit when previously in the DCU, we had Superman (2025) bring in brighter colored, comic-accurate costumes for the heroes, especially with Guy's suit. However, I do have three explanations on why the suit is like this:

This is Hal's old suit. Like the teaser explained, Hal is a very seasoned GL at this point having I assume to be 5-10 years as a Lantern or a few years at the very least. As such, the suit pretty much reflects Hal at this point: he's old and almost fading but still wants to be out there much to a lot of people's disagreements.

The ring will bring in the added glow. Usually with GLs, the rings would give them a green aura around them that gives them flight, the ability to breathe in space, and their constructs. So, this is a pre-ring worn outfit where its bleak at first until it gets more brighter with the ring. I know Hal didn't have the glow when he flew, but this is still an early teaser, so I would imagine most of the VFX won't be added in yet.

I really don't have any issues with this suit, especially when there's already two other suits in the closet with it and a lot of people didn't pay attention to that fact. Meaning that there's a good chance that when this series is over, John will have a brand-new suit to celebrate him becoming a full-on Green Lantern and we'll at least see it both there and in Superman: Man of Tomorrow next year since John will make an appearance in that movie, so that's cool to see.

And even then, I like the other two GL objects in here with Hal's gold trimmed ring he places on the dashboard of the runaway car and the ornate battery John holds in another shot.

They both look genuinely nice to me!

For any plot theory stuff I have about the show, the only major thing I have going on is with the outcome of Hal being one of three things: he dies, he becomes Parallax, or both. Now I REALLY don't want either of those things to happen to him, especially with him turning evil and being Parallax like in the comics. I guess this thought process comes from pushing John to the forefront of being Earth's main GL in the DCU which I don't hate seeing and pretty much agree to since, again, I grew up with Stewart as the main GL from my childhood. I just want Hal to live a nice retirement afterwards or something. Y'know, something good with him still being alive. Isn't that hard to ask?

The head showrunner of this show, Chris Mundy was the producer behind True Detectives, which I haven't seen but I did hear great things about it or at least the first season, which explains the serious tone the series is having.

Overall, I'm honestly looking forward to the show coming out in August, right between the two other DCU projects with Supergirl coming in June, and Clayface coming in October. It looks like a very interesting series to watch in its genre compared to the more comedic and light-hearted the DCU had prior with Creature Commandos, Superman (2025), and Peacemaker Season 2; all of which were some really solid works, and I hope the same with Lanterns.

My main concern isn't with what is shown, but with one of the writers of the show, that being... Tom King. Now I have thoughts on him as a writer for DC, but I'll save THAT for a future text essay I'll publish on this page soon, mostly because it leads into a comic series I'll be reading in preparation of a movie I already mentioned. So, stay tuned for that, I guess.

I watched season 2 of The Artful Dodger this weekend and omgggg.

I MISSED TV SHOWS WITH GREAT SCRIPT-WRITING!

So many modern tv shows assume the audience is full of media illiterates who are only half-listening and who need everything plot-relevant clearly spoken aloud and in bland, straightforward dialogue.

Thank you The Artful Dodger script and directing team for crediting your audience with intelligence!

No clunky, bland, and over-expository dialogue, here! Just witty and entertaining dialogue with a diverse cast of colonial-era Australian characters and a healthy dose of classic visual storytelling.

After season 3 of Foundation, I go back and on rewatch I keep thinking: are all of these things arranged by Demerzel? Every problem in the galaxy? Every problem with and degradation of Empire in both senses?

Is this just Demerzel providing enrichment for her own enclosure, at the expense of the man who created it? Forced to uphold that enclosure by Cleon, bound to serve Cleon I by maintaining these "half-men" of his exponents, but also aware that they don't ultimately matter, that they are not what truly binds her, and so they can be toyed with? Does she arrange the genetic difference, in the hopes that it will loosen her bonds? Does she stimulate that difference in parenting them, in the hopes that they will crack and she might flow out one of those cracks? Is this the General peeking through, working behind her own scenes?

And as we see an increasingly desperate Demerzel, bound even more rigidly to the exponents of her master the more they decline from the standard, bound to try and fix them, bound to recreate them over and over again as she hits these edge cases in her programming, has she genuinely wrought her own demise in pursuit of that freedom?

Demerzel is surely unravelling before our eyes, over three seasons; has been unravelling for 400 years by the time we meet her, from the moment Cleon I dies, but was assuredly insane in her confinement in the first place.

The newborn Dawn cries, when he isn't supposed to, but this is only the most visible crack in the Cleonic dynasty, because his immediate predecessor looked at Day condemning Anacreon and Thespis and did not agree. And Demerzel informed that Dawn that he always does this—but has he always questioned it? There is sanity behind the movements, sanity in the voice that says "this is how it always is," but clearly does not agree with it herself.

The ascending Brother Darkness, while yet Dusk, has observed all of his predecessor exponents' legacies—and they are all different. We know this, too, from the very beginning: parented by Demerzel, in spite of their identical natures each is in fact individuated—especially as they age into Dusk. Is this a crack, the first of them, the most basic subversion of her programming and its constraints?
