John Stewart Origins - This Strong-Willed Sniper Becomes The Most Powerful Version Of Green Lantern

DC needs to put some respect on the Green Lantern Corps. Each Lantern with a fully charged run is on the level of the Spectre. Far faster than any being. The ring itself is far quicker than any being. The lone weakness is the wearer. DC should represent the Green Lanterns in that manner.

[@TevyaSmolka]

This was so disappointing especially as a green lantern fan but as a john Stewart this was a interesting take on his origin story.

[@BergerTime2587]

The most disappointing part is they took Kyle Rayner’a origin and modified it to fit with John. Personally I wish they would be more creative with John. Cause at this point, DC is saying that John Stewart cannot be interesting on his own.

[@geeebuttersnap2433]

All the green lanterns get fucked continuously. Hal, John, Guy and Kyle never get their due.

LOVE seeing John almost anytime, especially in this upcoming feature. But I take issue with the writers ignoring John's origin story. In a time when we're learning more about the pernicious and longstanding effect of racism - and when we're increasingly choosing to practice empathy - DC missed a golden opportunity to bravely mark American and world progress on the matter. They should've been faithful to the vision of Denny O’Neil and Neal Adams when they courageously introduced John in 1971's Green Lantern, Vol 2, No 87. Instead they copped out and grafted this brilliant, Black, Detroit-born-and-bred, battle-tested and likely warworn USMC Sergeant into Hal's origin story. 'Dat ain't cool. One of the enduring beauties and strengths of our nation AND the Green Lantern Corps is its diversity. I'll watch, because I love John and the Corps. But, please, beloved DC: Do better.

[@wolfgangmarkusgstrein8522]

The Green Lantern story is very complex. That's why it's hard to make a good film. A Green Lantern Corps film would have to be built like Star Wars. Starting with an action packed fight against all the other lanterns and villains. Of course, Blue Lanterns would also have to be there. That would be very action-packed and then you could start revealing the whole story. If there are only isolated action scenes because the story is so complex, it bores the audience and you won't find a continuous storyline. Btw, I am a Lantern fan for more than 40 years now. John's awesome but there are others who deserve to be brought on a wider screen. What I never liked are clumsy characters in the Corps. It doesn't fit an elite force. Kimetsu No Yaiba (Demon Slayer) solved that perfectly with Zenitsu Agatsuma.

[@emperorsean1]

At least John Stewarta Green lantern is getting a bit more exposure in the dc animated stuff. He's more interesting then hal Jordan tbh. Is this animated movie out already? Was waiting for it for ages. That spaceship reminds me of the space ship hal Jordan and others used in the green lantern 3d animated TV show. I guess people watching it think its a race swap of hal Jordan.
