John Stewart is the most qualified Green Lantern being a Marine he has the will and bravery to weild the ring. His Architecture backgrounds gives him the creativity to make complex constructs. While Hal's pilot background shows he has bravery and Kyle's being an cartoonist makes him good for creativity. John really had the best of both.
@@foolslayer9416 Hal Is about determination John is about Restraint Guy is about letting everything out and Validaton Kyle is about Living with recurring fear Kilowog is about battling loneliness Simon is about Overcoming the past, Societal Expectations Jessica is about literally overcoming everything
@@jimmymagic7686 Yeah. They spoke about the film years ago, and recently confirmed the it was still planned. That's why Hal and John aren't present in the upcoming Green Lantern Corps show. They're being saved for the film. Of which John is going to be at the helm.
About damn time! John Stewart is THE Green Lantern to me. He’s the one I grew up with and knew about him before Hal Jordan or any of the rest. Same with Wally West instead of Barry Allen.
Meh to me they’re both good, but Barry Allen to me is the Flash. But I do love Wally West’s relationship with Nightwing and he is a great Flash himself
Me too. Except I grew up with the Jay Garrick comics, my dad collected as a kid. I knew about Alan Scott being the first Green Lantern in the comics, but John was the one I grew up with reading about.
As I grew up outside of America John Stewart was my introduction to black superhero. I love his character. He is like my third favourite in JLA after Batman and Martian man hunter
I remember the first time seeing JS as a kid...I couldn't believe someone who had the same color skin as me could be a Superhero. WE LOVE YOU JOHN STEWART...!
This comment section is amazing!!!! I’m older so I grew up with Hal, but as a black man, it just makes me happy he seems to be the overwhelming favorite!!! If you create a good character, we will love it!!!
As a kid I didn't even know the orignal Green Lantern was a white guy since there really wasn't that much media with Green Lantern aside from Justice League. I always identified Green Lantern being black with John Stewart and even till the modern day with knowledge of the other human Lanterns, John is still my favorite
same and i was very disappointed when Zack Snyder revealed that he had to cut him out of the justice League Snyder cut i was waiting a long time to finally see a live action john Stewart
Justice League the animated series real elevated his status in the DC universe same with most of the characters on the show. Definitely want a season 2 to Green Lantern the animated series.
I love Zacks movies but tbh.. Man of steel and BvS was not the movies u make to build a cinematic universe.. I bet he barely read any comics before making those movies.. they were bad movies. Superman he showed in that movie was not how Superman is.
And also John should not be the first green lantern which should be brought in the DCEU. He should come as a substitute in future movies as like the comics. Zack fucked up many things
I love John Stewart he is my favorite green lantern for two reason. First because Justice League Unlimited and because he is the only green lantern without decades of baggage
John Stewart was so badass in the JL animated series. That picture that Zack Snyder shared of his GL had me crying, since we never got him in a movie. He looked incredible.
The single reason why when I went to see the Ryan Reynolds movie I was like: Why the hell did they make Lantern white? Who's this dude? I know better now of course, but this man is iconic
john Stewart Green Lantern is my favorite black super hero along with static shock , Sam Wilson (formerly the falcon now captain America) black Lightning , storm from the X-men , black panther and cyborg from teen titans
Honestly, I'm kinda glad that the 2011 movie focused on Hal and not John. Otherwise it would've tarnished John;'s legacy. Let's hope whatever movie or TV show he appears in is solid.
I was just roaming around on Google checking out different emotional spectrums and all of a sudden a notification showed up from Varient about a new John Stewart Green Lantern TH-cam video 😂 maybe my will power to gain more knowledge was so much high😂
John Stewart is by far my favorite all time Green Lantern because he's the first Black superhero in the DC Comics Universe and he's such a cool black character to earn the title Green Lantern and the most recognized member of the Justice League!!!!😎
I remember watching Justice League and Justice League Unlimited on tv as a kind in the early 2000's so these versions of the DC Superheroes were how I identify them now. I'll forever associate Green Lantern with John Stewart in my head canon solely cause of the reruns of the Justice League animated shows
John Stewart is my Green Lantern. I like Hal Jordan overall and have grown to see why people love him, but John will always be the Green Lantern who inspired me the most.
the guardians saying to hal jordan "i don't give a shit about your petty bigotries" is so badass yes i know hal jordan did not mean it like that but it was still a badass line
I grew up on the JLU animated series and growing up John Stewart was one of my favorites. As a young black kid growing up his character was a inspiration.
I take exception with the opening of the powers and abilities description. The notion that Green Lanterns constructs are as powerful and the wielder's willpower totally dismisses the fact the the central battery houses the willpower of all the living beings in the universe/multiverse. The structural integrity of all Green Lanterns constructs is fortified by all the living willpower in the universe. This is one of two reasons Darkseid wants the Anti-Life Equation(ALE). For if Darkseid can obtain and merge with the ALE he could control willpower, neutralize/cutoff the willpower conduits Green Lanterns have with the central battery. Thus, making the fight about him and the Guardians and eventually the Presence and the Spectre. The willpower is required to operate the ring. The integrity of the constructs are reinforced by all the living willpower in the universe, making Green Lantern constructs almost impossible to shatter...
Let it be known that John Stewart's will is so strong, that it can exceed the limits of the power ring. During Blackest Night, he attempted to rebuild the destroyed planet and almost broke his ring.
You would think with John being part of Carol Ferris team, Hal would have known him and been more receptive to him as a Green Lantern. Unless (Carol) Ferris air has numerous across the United States. But either way Hal would have heard about the guy who fought off a Manhunter with his bare hands. DC if you are going to run this get it together...
Justice League/Justice League Unlimited I remember when I was younger and didn't know about Hal Jordan or the other Earth Green Lanterns were a thing (though Hal was in an episode of Justice League I think I'd forgotten about that) and the trailer dropped for the Ryan Reynolds Green Lantern movie I was really mad because Ryan Reynolds is far from John Stewart but then I learned he wasn't playing John Stewart and I was like oh that's cool I guess I want John Stewart though.
Mosaic is one of my favourite comic stories of all time. But two things to clarify about it being a mini series probably not. First there was the story in Green Lantern Vol 3 #14-17, at the time The GL title rotated focusing on different lanterns., so I guess it could be a mini series within a series. That was followed by a continuing series Green Lantern Mosaic that ran for 18 issues before being cancelled despite good sales.
He was my first introduction to Green Lantern since I grew up with Justice League animated series
same. that was the best animated series imo
My first intro to
Same here. I kept wondering what happened to Hal Jordan Green Lantern while John Stewart was the Green Lantern of Earth
Awesome. Those shows were so good.
Same. That series was 🔥🔥
John Stewart is one of the best-developed characters in the DC animated universe.
Yasssss
Totally...totally agree....that's DC and marvel.
Him and static shock

What about guy gardner?
@@flamestorm31 he's a headstrong knucklehead
@@flamestorm31 Guy is like Rocky Balboa. He fights bigger and stronger people who knock him down but he always gets back up and asks for more.
@@eklecticskeptic good comparison 👍

I can't speak for every comic book movie fan, but I would perfer a John Stewart movie over the DCEU doing a black Clark Kent movie.
Me too or a Calvin Elvis movie rather than black Clark Kent
Why have a black Clark Kent when Calvin Ellis is RIGHT THERE?
DEADASSS THAT WHOLE SUPERMAN THING IS SO UNNECESSARY LIKE WTF
Black Superman is not Clark Kent his name is Val Zod from another DC universe
I dig, totally. However, black Superman would be Val Zod from a different universe. Not black Clark Kent
I love how all human green lanterns have different representations of Will
How so?
@@foolslayer9416 Hal Is about determination
John is about Restraint
Guy is about letting everything out and Validaton
Kyle is about Living with recurring fear
Kilowog is about battling loneliness
Simon is about Overcoming the past, Societal Expectations
Jessica is about literally overcoming everything
@@adamquenano8563 Kilowog is human? 😂
Good comment thou 👍

I'm so glad WB is planning a John Stewart film. This character deserves as much spotlight as possible.
Maybe
Wait for real??????!!!

@Abhikrishna PS no because WB didn’t let zack use the green laterns because they had plans for them
Even after a decade of reading Hal Jordan's Green Lantern adventures, John Stewart is still the definitive lantern for me
Can we just appreciate john in the justice league and justice league unlimited
No, can we all appreciate that you are here for clout?
And Static Shock🙏🏾
He definitely is the best green lantern, so you must be the best “CAPtain America”-face ass @Gamingabe !!!! 😂😂😂💯💯💯
No one:
John in almost every episode of JL&JLU: “LIGHT ‘EM UP!”
your the coool and kyle ranner is also a good green lantern
In brightest day,
In blackest night,
No evil shall escape my sight.
Let those who worship evil's might,
Beware my power, Green Lantern's light!

I've always respected John Stewarts character in the comics and animated series.
Edit: Thankyou for the likes
As I grew up outside of America John Stewart was my introduction to black superhero. I love his character. He is like my third favourite in JLA after Batman and Martian man hunter
If only wb can see this
Hal : sports themed constructs
John : military themed constructs
Guys : mostly brawl weapons
Kyle : most creative constructs
He is the green lantern I was introduced to, and my personal favorite
Same here
Yes, John Stewart is my favorite Green Lantern and hopefully we get more of him in the future!
Facts
John Stewart and Tomar-Re are mines
Mines too
My is hal Jordan and John Stewart
I remember the first time seeing JS as a kid...I couldn't believe someone who had the same color skin as me could be a Superhero. WE LOVE YOU JOHN STEWART...!
Between that and Static being out at the same time was so dope to me!
Rock. On. 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
He was the first Green Lantern I remember liking. Now that I've read more comics, its Kyle Rayner, John Stewart, then Hal Jordan for me
same
JL did John so good definitely made him one of my favorite such a good animated show
same even his line why don't you kiss my axe remains one of the best quotes on the show
Also his VA going on to voice Aquaman AND John Stewart again in Injustice was just awesome.
6:41 this is one of the most wholesome moments I’ve ever seen in DC!
I used to watch Variant Comics since I was 7 and I am still watching them and gives so much nostalgia. Thanks Variant.
DCAU John Stewart is always going to be my fav
same
Excited for the Green Lantern Corps movie and HBO Max series!!!
Me too
When is it dropping
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🤩🤩💚
@@swagovrload like next fall. They just started casting. They have already casted guy and Alan Scott

Wow. This hairloss ad seems pretty cool, thanks for promoting it. Might look forward to using it.
We need Kyle Rayner next please. So underrated.
1. Kyle
2. John
3. Hal
My personal top 3 lanterns. GL is my favorite superhero.
Here because Aaron Pierre was cast as the live action version of John Stewart Green Lantern.
I would love to see a history of Wally West if you haven’t done one already
This is an amazing origin can we get more episodes focusing on specific Green Lanterns?
Also posted the same time when Zack Snyder showed Wayne T Carr's Green Lantern fully suited.

Huge Coincidence.
“This black man lets it all hang out.” 🤦🏾♂️ what a time.
John has always been my favorite. I always wished he would get his own movie.
same and i was very disappointed when Zack Snyder revealed that he had to cut him out of the justice League Snyder cut i was waiting a long time to finally see a live action john Stewart
For me he is one of the best well written characters in DC
The JimLee art at 2:37 is 🔥🔥🔥
Love Jim Lee.
Kyle Rainer was the GL I grew up with.. John Stewart is my 2nd favorite GL
Thumbs up for everyone who grew up watching the Justice League animated series! 👍
I did! Phil LaMarr nailed it as John Stewart!
(thumbs up)

The green lanterns and especially John are my favorite DC comic and superheroes for sure
same
I love John Stewart's Lantern above all iterations. The way his writers built him up was amazing and giving him an incredible backstory.
Justice League the animated series real elevated his status in the DC universe same with most of the characters on the show. Definitely want a season 2 to Green Lantern the animated series.
How appropriate of this video being dropped today because Zack Snyder just showed off a screenshot of John Stewart moments ago.
@Armand Anwari What do you mean? Snyder is irrelevant. My comment is more about Wayne T. Carr.
@Armand Anwari Bozo lmfao
I love Zacks movies but tbh.. Man of steel and BvS was not the movies u make to build a cinematic universe.. I bet he barely read any comics before making those movies.. they were bad movies. Superman he showed in that movie was not how Superman is.

its alwaysd crazy to me cause John was my Intro to the Lantersn in Justice League. Hes always been my favorite earthling green (main) lantern tbh
Thank you for John Stewart origin.
My favorite Green Lantern!
You should do an episode on Green Arrow’s archenemies, Malcolm Merlyn!
I agree!
definitely
Been trying to find more issues on John Stewart thank for the content
I love John Stewart he is my favorite green lantern for two reason. First because Justice League Unlimited and because he is the only green lantern without decades of baggage
What do you mean about baggage?
@@ChromaticEagle all the other Lanterns had a lot of dark story arcs
Yessss I been waiting on this one . One of my fav characters from the jl show
Been waiting for this video forever
Instead of a black Superman, Warner Bros./DC should focus on "originally black" heroes like John Stewart, Cyborg etc. ✌🏽👍🏽
Definitely my favourite Green Lantern!
Can you do history of Alfred Pennyworth, Batwing, Flame Bird, Batwoman, Azrael, Signal (Duke Thomas), Bluebird, Stephanie Brown and Carrie Kelly?
Im long time lantern fan and even I learnt something new from this so thanks! Master builder huh? Pretty cool!
I like that Hal says he isn't racist and points out an obvious flaw of John that the guardians paid no mind.
The fact that they brought back the gauntlet from the Rogue Lantern storyline 😍😍😍
^renegade
John Stewart is my favorite Green Lantern and my top 2 favorite DC superhero. That Omniversal Cannon he created in JL The Totality looks real badass.
John Stewart was so badass in the JL animated series. That picture that Zack Snyder shared of his GL had me crying, since we never got him in a movie. He looked incredible.
I knew Keeps was gonna be here sooner or later.
I love how in the 1960’s the human race were so calm and casual with superheroes and potentially becoming one

I know better now of course, but this man is iconic

John Stewart is my Green Lantern. I like Hal Jordan overall and have grown to see why people love him, but John will always be the Green Lantern who inspired me the most.
You should do a Wally west one next I really want to learn more about him
Great video, really loved Jon Stewart in Justice League Unlimited
And Yet A Film Still Hasn’t been made yet For Him

@Super Sentai Guy100 right I forgot about those guys so I'll rephrase that the majority of Green Lanterns don't where mask
I love how they are like “ yeah it just makes sense to have w black GL.” And they understand a developed great character. JLU

one of my favorites (my favorite is Kyle Rayner).
Also, he was smashing Hawk-Girl, so kudos to him for that accomplishment.
Really wish we got to see him in the Snyder Cut of Justice league or even a solo movie

he could had it done easier if only you were there to recharge his ring

First time I heard of John Stewart was issue 13 of Blue Devil back in the 80's.
Hands down, best GL ever. Rah!
