Green Lantern: The Animated Series - EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED

[@BovineDesigns]

At 10:24 when I say that neither Razor nor Aya has appeared outside of the show, that is incorrect. Aya has appeared in several Smallville comics, as well as in the New Earth continuity (Green Lantern Vol 4 #65), and of course she has a cameo in Justice League Action. And of course a year after I made this video Razer appeared in Young Justice. My apology for the misinformation! Here's the music playlist for this video! kzbin.info/aero/PLTTb7_0Go3b1cwKpt2zleEPG8uRtu2xhz I neglected to mention how dope the music of the show is. Razer's theme in particular is very emotional and feels very connected to his culture. While the music can feel a little generic at times, they at least made unique tracks for each episode and scene.

Another show I'd love to hear your opinions on is Tron: uprising. It was on Disney or something but it is comfortably one of my favorite animated shows of all time. The story was just phenomenal.

But if we wanna blame whatever caused that show to meet a premature end, we can most likely blame the 2011 live action Green Lantern movie for being made (Cause that movie was not impressive, thus leading it to become a box office failure). I mean, you think that the series would've kicked off on its own without the 2011 Green Lantern movie but film producers and filmmakers...you name those people. they were like: "let's do what we gotta do." and in the end, it was a mistake for all Green Lantern fans.

It is not necessarily. Take it as an adaptation. It is not part of the same universe. It is not exactly a continuation but similar things happened there.

Adding a bit of hope and insult to injury in Justice League action, an episode about Hal getting stuck in some space gas station has an AI voiced by Grey again, who at the end says she has no memory of who she is but has hope to find out and flies into the darkness like a familiar red lantern. This show makes me understand what fans of firefly felt like.

[@BovineDesigns]

That was a really nice nod to GLTAS. It's a shame Justice Action got cancelled too soon as well, it was genuinely alot of fun.

[@vullord666]

@Will N this is the main reason I prefer streaming services to traditional cable. TV always had a problem equating a shows success/quality purely to toy sales, air times, and etc (and worse has made shows compete). Streaming/subscription services allow a little more room for freedom. Also you brought back some trauma with how much Marvel canceled their best shows. I really don't care about either's movies (I don't get why everyone gravitate to live action movies nowadays), and regardless neither put out movies better than their peak animated content.

I read the end of the N52 era when they introduced Jessica and fell in love with her aswell, then picked it back up when Rebirth came, in both HJATGLC and Green Lanterns and stopped at the end of the Rafa Sandoval era. Next i wanna pick up GL Earth One cause it looks really interesting and people can't praise that enough.

I was so sad when this got pulled as I really enjoyed the story and from what they were doing, it looked like they were setting up for more Lantern story lines such as the War of Light or Darkness Night. Sure the people up top didn't want Sinestro to be a villain, but the scenes we got did a great job at setting him up to eventually turn yellow, they even introduce the yellow ore which counters green lantern energy. Hearing that they planned to axe the show no matter how well received it was makes me wonder if they only did it because they believed that Disney had cornered the market for animation targeted at people older then 8. I mean, we all saw how the writing of Ben 10 fluctuated from season to season with most of Ben's development being retconned back to a more immature, bratty and self absorbed person because they thought that's what the audience would identify more with. With the cast, it was fun watching how Hal had to act like the surprised father figure to both Razer and Aya as if I had to guess, Hal's in his late 20s, Kilowagg is in his's mid 40s, Razer at best is 19 and Aya acts like a child, a smart child but a child nonetheless.

The yellow crystals were a great set up for potential yellow lanterns. Heck that was episode 3 or 4 as I recall. It's entirely possible, although Disney was doing the same thing with their shows, they cancelled the last of their good Marvel shows around the same time CN did.

[@Kusanagikaiser999]

This show is the definition of UNDERRATED, such a fantastic series, and just in a single season, manage what some current shows are incapable of doing despite lasting more than 5, 6 or even 8 seasons (or how many season that show that should never be mention have), I loved this show, as a long DC fan, and despite Green Lantern was always one of my favorites, was this show that make me wanted to read at that time current GL stories, its sad this show only lasted 1 season and kinda of amazing tackle so many stories and characters so damn well in the spam of just 26 episodes, also a pity both Aya and Razor never got translated to the main DC comics, those 2 characters where amazing new additions at the level of characters like Harley Quinn and Renee Montoya, The Phantasm and so many Bruce Timm and Paul Dini creations. I wish it got season 2, actually now knowing how BAD, Young Justice revival ended been......maybe this was for the better............I have lost the interest on modern DC and Marvel adaptations both in TV and Comics....with the exception of Harley Quinn TAS and DC Super Hero girls, and Peacemaker (and The Suicide Squad) DC have not done much to capture my attention, and the news of new stuff they want to do now just focusing more in Diversity than actual good story telling, just make me less interested in reading comics, kinda sad.

[@BovineDesigns]

Yeah I'm kind of in the same boat with both of the Big Two right now. I've come to the realization that I already got alot of good out of the companies but they no longer consider their fans to be their target audience.

[@purrloin7769]

I loved this series, I would watch each episode of this and young justice as they premiered with my entire family. We enjoyed their take on green lantern, and while we would have loved to see more, the cliffhanger of the end was fine for me. It says that their stories aren't over and they have hope, so more of a bitter/sweet ending for me. Now i feel like rewatching the series

[@BovineDesigns]

Yeah it wasn't the worst ending in the series. It at least wrapped up the most immediate plot threads. I would highly recommend another watch, I rewatched it 3 times for this video and I still wasn't tired of it.

Kevin Michael Richardson is a legend and I stand by that. Also he follows me on Twitter and I have no idea why.

Im sad that it stopped at 1 season. I would have loved to see them introduce the Indigo Tribe and Sinestro corps, as well as possible do an iteration of the Blackest Night and Brightest Day events, which, in the comics, were what the introduction of all the new lantern corps led up to. Part of me hopes someone revived this show for a season 2 or 3.
