My thoughts on the Lanterns series

My thoughts on the Lanterns series

 

Please tell me that this is an early April Fools prank. I mean, nothing about this trailer screams Green Lantern. This looks like 48 hours and Yellowstone combined. You need more than the rings, a character flying, and the suit hanging in a closet to get me on board for this series. Speaking of the suit, the fact that it's hanging in the closet tells me the people behind this series don't care or know nothing about the lore. I'm not crazy about Hal Jordan and John Stewart being paired together, regardless if this was in the comics. Both characters can stand on their own. Why is this series called Lanterns? Are we going to see more than one Lantern Core?  

We've waited years for this series, and this is the best you can come up with, really? If the people behind this series didn't have to budget to do this show, then why bother making it? I'm so sick of everything being grounded and realistic. When I think of Green Lantern, I think about them patrolling space, not a western. You can say what you want about the 2011 Green Lantern movie, but it had the look of Green Lantern. I hope this is a bait and switch; even if it is, it doesn't matter. They shot themselves in the foot by not putting their best foot forward. I'll give the first episode a chance, but they didn't do themselves any favors.
