Hey there guys, this is part 1 of a two part video in which I pitch how to bring Green Lantern to the big screen in a BIG WAY !! In part two I'll be pitching a 6 movie saga so bare with me as it'll take a while to get that video out, thanks for all the support !!
Take all the time you need Mitch. If anything I would love to see your vision come to life with the best quality and best amount of time dedicated to it. I have full faith in your dream, as it is the same dream I hold.
yes!
A 6 movie movie saga? That's going to be good, although I think GL could just have a simple trilogy focusing on Hal's friendship with Sinestro and showing how this two partners become rivals, very similar to Anakin and Obi Wan in the SW prequels with a better build-up.
Your doing God work making these videos dude
Dude I just finished making a Classic cosplay about green lantern. I mean it was all simple Spandex but still. Lantern is my number 3 super hero next to Superman and iron-man.
Honestly, the animated Green Lantern films are very underrated, and I definitely recommend them.
agreed I love first flight
Agreed. First Flight is a masterpiece and Emerald Knights is highly underrated.
And so is the animated series
@@h27 Yeah I think we need another GL animated series I am excited for the live action one but I want a good GLAS
First Flight and Emerald Knights is some of my favorite GL content
if you were to ‘officially’ create your own personal DCEU, i honestly wouldn’t mind and would even prefer if you did due to the immense understanding of these characters you have!
One of the reasons why the 2011 movie flopped is they tried too hard to make it into a generic earthbound superhero movie instead of leaning into the sci fi space opera aspect and the wider mythos. If they got someone like James Gunn to do it, I have no doubt he would bring the same zaniness and out there cosmic weirdness he did to Guardians. And Gunn is also really good at the themes of emotional honesty and emotional literacy you touched upon in the video so he’d do great on that front too.
Hal did nothing to make him worthy above everyone on Earth.
Green Lantern is one of the greatest DC Comics assets. I have a lot of hope for the new show. The idea sounds pretty great so far. I just hope the execution is there. They really just need to look at First Flight, Green Lantern the Animated Series, and parts of the Emerald Knights movie (for ideas of how to tell separate stories about different Green Lanterns)
I believe Green lantern was right on the cusp of becoming DC's next major cash cow but the movie killed that momentum. Green lantern could barely get animated movies after that. They completely lost faith in Green Lantern as a franchise.
@Will N I'm so excited that we are finally going to get a Green Lantern animated film, that too set in the tomorrowverse which is going phenomenal so far
Any idea as to when can we expect a trailer ? Also I wonder which gl are they gonna use Hal or John ?
I really hope HBO's Green Lantern will succeed where the 2011 film failed to give us, and that is a proper epic space opera adventure story inspired by the likes of Lost in Space, Star Trek, Star Wars, heck even Battlestar Galactica.
The guardians reversing the no kill rule is one of the biggest oh shit moments I've ever read in comics.
A good way to emphasise what a good Green Lantern film should be is a space opera. Like Star Wars or Star Trek. A science fiction epic set in space on a mass scale, which depicts the vastness of space and all the stars, planets and moons, speculative alien biospheres, exotic alien races and cultures and alien technology.
When someone asked me how I would have approached a green lantern movie, my response was: Training day in space, but on a scale similar to star wars
A good Green Lantern movie has GREAT potential. Warner Bros needs to take a chance again with the Galactic superhero Green Lantern.
No,I agree to that we need a good director like Guillermo del Toro who made Alita.
Imagine you have this incredible character with unlimited potential. And his stories being space operas with drama of all emotions, and you put him on Earth. You take away that ethereal concept.
Ryan Reynolds' _GL_ movie is just a remake of _Howard The Duck:_ an unlikable everyman is whisked away across the stars, he fights an alien possessed scientist, then the giant alien itself, science stuff happens, & Tim Robbins is there.
Ahhahaha love this take
Awesome analysis.
If the Green Lantern trilogy that you envision were part of the rebooted Justice League universe that you also pitched in the Superman video, then there are plenty of interesting ways to make use of that. Perhaps we make it so that the reason why Hal spends all his time in space instead of directly protecting Earth is that Superman and the others already have that covered and in the first Justice League film, he adopts the role of informant on everything space-related; keeping the team up to date on any cosmic threats that are in route to make their move on Earth. This could even come into play in your second Superman film with Hal being the one to explain Brainiac to Clark in more detail after Kara gives the initial warning. Speaking of, there’s also a lot of potential for crossover on the villain side of things. For example, we could actually namedrop Darkseid in the first Green Lantern film as a space tyrant that the Corp neglects to deal with due to their hindering politics with the Old and New Gods and when Hal helps to defeat him in the third or so Justice League Film, it’s against the Guardians’ wishes. Or, we could do the Legion of Doom for the second Justice League film and have a power struggle between Lex Luthor and Sinestro since they’re both massively authoritarian.
Personally, I think Sinestro should be saved for the third GL film (with the first two bulding up his fall to the dark side). In his place, the second JL movie could have Scarecrow as the main villain, using a yellow ring, hinting that Sinestro is already building his Sinestro corp.
If Thor can work as a movie (and even be successfully integrated into the larger MCU even though he's a god and comes from mythology), then so can Green Lantern and Superman.
I mean, the MCU has shown that you can basically make a movie about any type of superhero...but what really matters is if you can make a good movie or not. I honestly think that if WB didn't rush to make a Justice League movie, and took their time developing Superman as a character, then we probably would've gotten a good sequel to MoS.
First Flight, Emerald Knights, the Animated Series, JL, and JLU show Green Lantern done right ✅
Man, its so sad that the only Green Lantern movie in live action was trash, the animated shows and comics are great and hopefully the new live action GLC show is good
The Green Lantern part of the DC universe has so much potential!!
It has loads.
But only if they could ever develop a DC studios and make good green lantern films
It frustrates me how Green Lantern is seen as a punching bag by the mainstream because of that movie. Two animated movies, an animated show, and decades of comics all go ignored because of one bad live-action movie. GL became a punching bag for HISHE, The Lego Movies, the Deadpool movies. The brand is apparently so stained that he was nothing more than a cameo in the Justice League movie even though he's a founding member of the JLA and that movie came out a decade after the GL movie! That sucks.
Also, I remember people giving this movie crap for making the suit out of CGI, but Marvel does that all the time now. It's fine when they do it, apparently.
The main stream crowd unfortunately doesn't really understand the comics there are lot of comic fans yea but not really enough lost track.
The main stream really just remembers the movies or maybe show but the movie has to hit well.
The movie sucked and the animated series was canceled.
The toy sales was low to.
Watch the animated movies they are amazing .
It would be so cool if you dived into Wonder Woman and Aquaman as well. Their incarnations haven't been the best in the media, and it would be amazing how it'll be turned into a trilogy also.
I hope they make something related to the lanterns, soo many interesting characters to explore like Atrocitus and Larfleeze. The visuals would be incredible and Yh world build like Star Wars. It has the potential to be revolutionary for the DC movie universe.
An hbo max show is coming
The green lantern movie actually scared me as a kid. I just think that’s kind of funny.
Ironic since the Green Lantern Corps have always been about overcoming fear
Out of curiosity, SUPER FRAME, do you plan to make a pitch about a Wonder Woman reboot movie?
Nothing against the Gal Gadot movie, but I think the movie wasted alot of potential by not having the greek mythological elements of the amazon princess, and the 2nd film was such a let down that I have low expectations that Jenkins will be able to give the trilogy a good ending.
I was a kid (like ten or so) watching Green Lantern watching it with my brother. I really enjoyed it purely because it was so flashy and I really love my brother. Also, I knew there was potential for Carol to be Star Sapphire so I was excited. But, tbh, the strongest Green Lantern imprint on me was the Animated Series. I don't know how to describe it but it just really clicked with me -- the story, the visuals, the development. You can imagine Little Me's disappointment when I found out there wasn't going to be more. I've gone on to watch more of the animated films and read the comics. I hope there's more done with the IP of the Green Lantern in terms of movies and stuff bc I feel like there's a lot of potential.
Also if there's an acknowledgement that Earth is absolutely wild and feral and that's why the place has so many GL's in the comics or animated mediums, that'd be great.
Loving the deconstructing explanations and then the creative propouses format.
I want to see a good adaptation of Kyle since he has by far the most interesting constructs (aka he uses the power to the most interesting visual extent) .... but i will be lucky if we get him in the HBO series. So my vote for a good green lantern movie is do what most flash adaptations do and mesh the more interesting lanterns =P
I have started reading the Green Lantern Geoff John's run and I am absolutely astonished how complex and incredible it is and how much cinematic potential this character and his world has. This character and the countless comics surrounding Green Lantern have inspired me and captivated me so much. I love every Green Lantern, Hal Jordan, John Stewart, Kyle Ranner, Alan Scott, Jessica Cruź, Simon Baz and even Guy Gardener.
I am actually coincidentally writing my own Green Lantern film franchise with 5-6 films and 2 tv shows,with a full cast and script draft. This character and world has amazed me so much and part of that is because of the Geoff John's run and the Green Lantern Animated Series. Hopefully one day that potential will be recognised, but until then I would love to hopefully make videos depicting my vision for a Green Lantern franchise just like you Mitch.
Interesting. I'm also making for pitch a Green Lantern trilogy (focusing on Hal Jordan and Sinestro) as well a possible fourth movie adapting emerald twilight
Dude go to wb and make it a reality
@@barry2349 Believe me, I wish I could. But until then, I would simply stick to drafting my own pitch for what a GL franchise could be. I even have some character designs I've personally illustrated.
@@milkiassamuel780 can you do videos after you finish writing, I'd love to see your ideas
@@mohammedazam6562 Thank you so much, that really means a lot. I am actually new to creating video and may take some time until I can fully craft videos, because I have no clue about editing videos. Thank you again, and hopefully I can get to it one day.
Emerald knights and first flight are the best green lantern movies
Green lantern green arrow hard traveling heroes is his best story.
I feel weird to say this but I feel like we rarely get our heroes caring about the villains. I love when the heroes try to change the villains. Also great video😂
Much like Spiderman is dedicated enough to cure the villains in No Way Home, or characters like Flash or Superman help both of their rogue's gallery now and then, treating them as human beings with problems, both outlandish and relatable problems, constantly giving their villains a chance of redemption and a better tomorrow. Just seeing the hero lend helping out to their antagonists and foes they've fought countless times, is something so wholesome and heartwarming to see.
@@milkiassamuel780 absolutely. That was one of my favorite things about no way home was them curing the villains and not just beating them up. Those little conversations after they cure them was great. I wish we got more of this in the superhero movies. This is what makes them heroes not just vigilantes
@@ethanhansen1479 I think my favourite conversation between the villains in No Way Home was betweeen Andrew Garfield Spiderman and Jamie Foxx's Electro, because Max was introduced to us as someone who fought of himself as a nobody and just seeing Andrew Garfields Spiderman cure him and teell him he's not a nobody was really touching to see. Another great example is how Batman chooses to help his villains as a significant number of them have severe mental issues and tragic motivations like Mr Freeze, as Batman empathises with Freeze's mission of vengeance and desperation as Bruce has felt the exact same way many times and choses to help him by funding the treatment to save his wife, and in turn Mr Freeze respects him and also lends a helping hand to him. In addition to that Batman also tries to help villains like Two-Face, who was once Bruce's best friend suffering from severe D.I.D and attempts to help him psychological treatment and therapy, as well as helping out other villains for redemption like Harley Quinn, Clayface (who's now an official member of the Bat-family), Killer Croc, Grundy, Arnold Weskler (The Ventriloquist), Poison Ivy etc...
@@milkiassamuel780 I really love how the animated show for the batman showed that side of him. Caring for his villains
you should make a Batman or Green Arrow video like this. i am really enjoying this
Green Lantern is not the worst superhero movie, but far from the best either. For me it was just a mildly average and somewhat bland movie, that didn't live up to the potential it had.
( clicks video)
*Warner Bros Aggressively stabbing Green Lantern in the chest*
You have my interest
The equivalent of DC's Star Wars and yet DC made one of the most boring superhero movies ever made. C'mon guys 🤦♂️
Technically Jack Kirby's Fourth World are DC's Star Wars, even to the point that Lucas kinda copied few concepts from Kirby's
The Force = The Source.
Luke fighting his evil father = Orion fighting his evil father.
etc
@@uncannydcmarvelous5732 true
Disney has now made Star Wars boring.
Like poetry rhymes.
@@anubusx how ironic
I was just rewatching Green Lantern this morning.
I was just thinking about Nostalga Critic's Admiral Ackbar joke he made about it in his review. I only found this video today. Weirdy my Ackbar figure arrived today from Ebay.
If You want to watch good Green Lantern movie i highly recommend Green Lantern first flight and emerald Knights as well the animated series
Have you ever considered a casting for Teen Titans.
I am a person who to this point has only read one Green Lantern comic, and yet I loved it and immediately thought of a hundred ideas of how this character could be in a movie
Which one did you read ?
I heard that Ryan Reynolds was planned to come back as Green Lateran in Snyder's Justice League and than WB were like, no no no no no no no no no no no, you can't do that!
If I was to make a Green Lantern movie, I'd want Geoff Johns to write it and have Glen Powell from Top Gun Maverick as Hal Jordan.
Honestly as meme fodder “I Know Right!?” Is criminally underutilized. Kills me every time
The biggest problem with the 2011 Green Lantern film was the fact that it was clearly made by someone who didn’t bother actually picking up Green Lantern comic and giving it an actual in-depth read. Having the movie take place on boring old Earth was such a letdown.
I'd love to see one of these video essays on Green Arrow and see how mich would explain who he is in the comics and what could happen with him.
The simple answer is
Be owned by Warner Brothers
Honestly I don’t mind an earthbound Green Lantern film but as a transition to the more interesting sci-fi stuff
I really hope Carol Ferris is in the new Green Lantern project and that we see her as Star Sapphire.
In fearful day, in raging night. With strong hearts full, our souls ignite. When all seems lost in the War of Light, look to the stars. For hope burns bright!
I think Sam Worthington would make a good Hal Jordan. He seemed like the hal Jordan type as Jake sully in the movie Avatar.
Personally I don’t see that at all
James Marsden would be a better option
Do how to make a good flash movie after green lantern.
I have actually been working on a Flash film with some casting ideas and a story focusing on Flash starting his journey as the Flash and fighting off The Rogue's (featuring Captain Cold, Mirror Master, Heat Wave and Weather Wizard) for the first time. And then build up to introducing characters like Wally West/Kid Flash, Gorilla Grodd and especially Reverse-Flash.
It would be nice to have a Flash Movie that does not have anything to do with Flashpoint
@@ernestomiloli8414 I agree, while Flashpoint is a great storyline and event comic which does dive into interesting ideas, I do think the comics sole reason is just to simply reboot the continuity and not offer as much range for more story telling possibilities that take place outside of the Flashpoint timeline. I personally would have a trilogy focused on Flash becoming a hero and coming to terms with his inability to save his mother but grow as a hero and mentor to Wally West, while learning more about his future legacy as the Flash and fighting off villains like the Rogue's, Gorilla Grodd and Reverse-Flash.
@@milkiassamuel780 And other villain's too and they should all be treated like threats,
I agree with everything you said, and I’ve had one essential thought on the matter:
Look for the graphic novel **Green Lantern: Earth One**. Geoff Johns may have had the best interpretation of Hal Jordan and the cosmic scope of the corps, but this book both nailed the look of a Green Lantern movie and compacted it into a tight and compelling story that could translate easily to the silver screen.
Somewhere between that and the Johns run is the essential blueprint of the Green Lantern movie we deserve.
I remember really liking this movie as a kid when it first came out, but over the years, it’s aged very poorly in my eyes.
If there’s a Green Lantern trilogy, I think it’d be interesting if each film were to focus on three or four individual Lanterns (e.g. GL1 is Hal Jordan’s movie (but good), GL2 is John Stewart’s, and GL3 as Kyle Rayner’s and/or Jessica Cruz’s).
They don't get it right because they try to make a super hero movie, when they should be doing a si-fi/space opera
All 4 corpsmen should be in the next green lantern movie
I genuinely think about this movie every time somebody talks about bad superhero movies, I haven't forgotten it's stink hahah. "If you think xyz MCU movie is bad, you have to watch Green Lantern and Dare Devil then"
Green lantern like with many scifi or space charactets from both marvel and dc they a whole universe on their own the have compelling characters nuance storylines and incredible worlds to explore. Theyre star wars and star trek on 11 theyre epic but fleshed out well written. The green lantern as a character has some of the best storylines dc has had over the years along with flash and the trinity.
OMG!!! I asked for this in the comments of your How to make a good superman movie video... Thanks 🙏
Wanna See Sinestro on the big screen again
Idris Elba would be the perfect Jon Stewart. Matt Smith would be a great Sinestro.
Idris is way to old now, maybe 10 years ago
@@thesuperframe yeah I get where you're coming from. But he legit seems like the perfect casting for Jon.
How about Luke Evans as Sinestro and Nathan Fillion as Hal Jordan?
@@alexandrefrauches132 i want a real redhead for guy and an latina for jessica cruz
@@JayJay-eb4lx
Jake Austin Walker as Guy Garnder and Ana de Armas as Jessica Cruz
*HOLY SHIT THANK YOU I WAS BEGGING FOR A VIDEO LIKE THIS*
Good question why haven’t we gotten a green lantern movie.
Many reasons. But it is mainly due to the failure of the previous Green Lantern film and how hesitant WB are to reintroduce this character aand their mytho's, as audience perception of the character hadd only begun to decline and thankfully the character has still remained due to the various appearances of Green Lantern in modern media outside of comics.
You should create a lot more content like this! It reminds me of B- Masks We are the Fantastic Four videos but more compact. Always love a good video analysis with voices characters
Please pitch a college era Spider Man movie or series you're so good at it
I think I'm in minority here who doesn't hate the Reynolds movie. Yes, it's not TDK/Avenger quality film but I don't think is that bad. It was just very average and Ryan Reynolds did a fine job as Hal Jordan (although I do believe there are better casting choices) and I think alot problems of the film could had been fixed in a sequel but it is what it is.
I love this series u r making. Keep doing it.
The Earth 1 OGN series was a great intro. One part Indiana Jones, one part retrofuturism. Should be the basis for a film.
The reason I enjoyed Guardians of the Galaxy so much was that the movie only spent like 5 minutes on Earth at the beginning. Then after that the movie shows us all these planets, aliens, politics, and everything bizarre about our galaxy. Green Lantern should be similar in the sense that this is the DC hero that will show audiences how vast, complex, and bizarre our galaxy is.
Good video. I remember watching the film and felt disappointed with it. I’m grateful for the animated films. I look forward to your next video on Green Lantern because there are so many ideas and potential and yet Warner Bros can’t do it right.
Looking back now with some shots we see of Blue beetle, practical GL Suit can be done
This is the best video you've made, thank you for this. A lot more people need to know how great Green Lantern is and I hope your video helps people see that.
I think I wanna see your next video asap lol. Excited for your take.
Jensen Ackles, Michael J. White?, Seann William Scott, and idk for Kyle Rayner
I like John David Washington as John Stewart and I don’t know about Hal Jordan maybe Jaime Dornan or Jack Lowden but I’m looking forward to see who you would pick, your castings our spot on.
I think Jaime Dornam would be a pretty good Hal Jordan, I think he might be my second choice. Personally I would actually cast James Marsden in the role. My other casting choices would include Aston Kutcher, or perhaps Alden Ehrenriech.
Zack Snyder already cast John Stewart, even though it is a deleted scene.
Who played him.
@@anubusx They actually casted Wayne T. Carr as John Stewart for Zack Synder's Justice League, and have in fact film a whole scene with his Green Lantern, and was originally going to interact with Bruce at his home instead of Martain Manhunter. Wayne T. Carr actually recently released an image of what his Green could've looked like and he looks so good and I think he could've been a great John Stewart Green Lantern.
You should do a similar video to this and the Superman one for Batman or Spider-Man
Reynolds looks weird in every frame he's in. It's not the suit or the mask, it's the face, especially that opened mouth.
Love it love you love everything
According to rumours tom cruise as been casted as Hal jordan
I hope this doesn't happen. For Hal Jordan they need to go with a better actor like Nathan Fillion, Andrew Garfield or Matt Bomer
@@alexandrefrauches132 ohh dam Andrew Garfield would be phenomenal,nathan Fillion aswell,I can see matt bomer aswell
@@barry2349 Agreed. After NWH Garfield proved that, with good script, he can play a charismatic super hero. I can see him playing Hal Jordan or maybe Kyle Rayner.
Also, fun fact: Nathan Fillion already played Hal Jordan in many adaptations (i would say he is for Hal Jordan, what Kevin Conry is for Batman and Steven Blum is for Wolverine)
I'd say it got screwed up by too many plots, though I didn't think it was too bad.
If you are gonna cast green lantern I highly suggest Jensen Ackles from supernatural and the boys
I believe he has actually casted James Marsden as Hal Jordan, which I personally love and he is actually my first choice for Hal Jordan.
@@milkiassamuel780 personally if not Jensen ackles I would love John Krazinski to play Hal Jordan
@@Nate-mf9od I think Jensen Ackles would also be a good choice to play Hal Jordan as well. Other people I can see in the role are Jaime Dornam, Ashton Kutcher or Alden Ehrenriech
@@milkiassamuel780 Andrew Garfield as Hal jordan
Are you gonna do this based on Halley Berry's Catwoman?
Holy Shit!!!
I want his take on all the comic book films he listed.
Isn’t it kinda weird that between Across the Spider-Verse and Quantumania, we’ve seen two movies based on Marvel characters that did Green Lantern concepts better than Green Lantern did? And no, I’m not saying Quantumania was particularly great. It was fine at best.
Quantumania had potential though! There are few problems here and there but it was a fun movie.
@@kha30s22 I agree. It’s certainly not a fantastic movie, but it comes out ahead of so many comicbook movies, and is still a fun time. I enjoyed Quantumania overall, despite its flaws.
you should do one of these for the flash
I like the movie,maybe is wasn't the greatest but introduced us in the green lantern story.the effects are amazing. The animate is good to.
Van Wilder.... IN SPACE
Thank you ❤❤
Yes that is Taika Waititi he played as Thomas Kalmaku
FINALLY someone points out Hector's random ass screaming.
the green lantern movie tie in comics are good
I have a very educated guess on who's gonna be picked to play Green Lantern and his casting and and I gotta say I definitely see it and I like it
Hint: J.A
I can’t believe we have not gotten another live action green lantern movie all because of the mistakes of one movie that just couldn’t stick the landing!
Yo that is shout using the Manhunters as the villain of the Green Lantern project. Watch the series to see why.
They tried to make an Iron Man knockoff.
Are you Aussie? Love your stuff mate. I've been writing stuff down like I'm possessed
Yeah man I’m from Perth
I am a marvel fan but, this video makes me want to like Green Lantern!
Aquaman reboot please
Honestly, I didn't think it was terrible; I just thought it was mah. I'm disappointed also that they didn't introduce other Green Lanterns. One of the most exciting things about the Green Lantern Corps is the variety of characters they have in it, and you didn't see that in the movie, Owa was pretty much empty. You didn't know the fact that there were other lanterns on the planet till the very end of the film. The video was also right about the point that Green Lantern presents the different Lantern Corp's points of view, and they're not necessarily wrong, to be honest. However, I don't think we could get that level of mature storytelling in the year this video was made, or right now the Hollywood writers just aren't capable of it.
I didn’t hate it ...really wished it was better....now the animated series was great...please do a video about that show...Green Lantern was done right in the show
Will you review the animated series of green lantern?
Hmm to be honest I don't think the Green Lantern Movie is really that bad. It had some good things about it, the Sinestro actor did a good job(even though is not in the movie a lot), the idea behind Hall defeating is fear is good and interesting, in my eyes the villain challenge the hero in a character flaw kind way. And the movie doesn't have that much exposition, opposite to what everyone says. it's far from marvelous but it a solid start for me, the only thing I would have change was Ryan as Hall, since the only thing he brought to the character was his funny side, and couldn't put up with the idea of flawed character who needed to overcome is fear the main idea of the film in my view. After Hall is so much more than a funny character.
I hope we see the Flash and Green Lantern friendship from the comics.
Can you do this for the flash as well
The Ezra Cut.
The best GL story is Green Lantern, Green Arrow hard traveling heroes. This story is unreal.
I once hated Hal Jordon but then I read Secret Origin
