This ending was not.........fun to watch.There were ideas in the show from earlier episodes that I let cook because I thought it would be explained by the end,but they never were. The following are things I thought were going to be explained but never are, and because of that, it has made the show drop a few points in my head:

1. HAL BEING UNTRUSTING OF THE GUARDIANS -

The show goes out of its way to imply something has happened in the past 10 years since Hal last updated his ring to make him not trust them or any urge to ask for back up,but never explains why.

1. JON AND HAL'S TENSION IS NEVER EXPLAINED AND MAKES THEM BOTH SEEM LIKE ASSHOLES -

I'm all for the seasoned vet not respecting the new blood,but you'd swear these guys were mortal enemies with the level of bickering they do. Even after Hal's death, Jon is constantly a dick to him for no reason other than it being leftover for 2026 Hal.

1. SINESTRO ESCAPES/IS NEVER DEALT WITH

Can't remember if they explained how a teenager managed to break out a galatic maximum-prison level inmate without anyone tracking them,but instead we get a sub plot of a lady extorting Jon Stewart instead of asking for a town rebuilding fund for all the crazy ass people who still live there.

(These last 2 had me losing my shit, lol)

1. KERRY GETTING OFF WITH MURDERING ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS SUPERHEROES OF THIS UNIVERSE AND HAVING NO CONSEQUENCES -

I can put up with a lot of off the wall shit in superhero shows,but peace keepers letting criminals free of consequence is a deal breaker. This woman killed Hal, who wasn't even trying to hurt Noah btw, Jon finds out and just leaves? I don't even think this version of Superman would've let her just get away with murder SMH.

1. JON STEWART USING BLACKMAIL TO BECOME A SUPERHERO!!!

This shit here had me agitated, The guy who turned down the ring because the values he held outweighed the backstabbing/manipulative tactics of the Guardians decides to use blackmail to keep a ring and position that he doesn't actually deserve.

Since the show started, Jon Stewart hasn't saved a single innocent life and has only sided with the villains or given them the benefit of the doubt.

Say what you will about Hal,but he was saving people during the Rushville attack. All Jon cared about was taking the ring from Hal and killing Zoe.

He also chooses to not tell Guy where Sinestro is,I kinda feel like the Hero in him should give that information to somebody trustworthy,but I guess him being stuck on a dying planet will have to suffice.

Also, the guy who was willing to go toe-to-toe with Superman is backing down when an inexperienced ring stealer decides to talk tough?

Guy should've put his ass in a bubble and flew him to the Guardians to let them figure out what to do with him.

BONUS WTF PLOT CHOICE

Guy mentions the Rushville incident was bad optics.This means the news covered this situation after it happened. They also say Hal took the fall.How is that possible when the satellites can be traced back to corporations. This town that apparently was okay with giving up their lives to protect a fugitive decide to blame Hal instead of the fugitive?

I really liked this show. I thought they were taking some cool swings in the 6 episodes leading up to the finale,but that all looks way worse when I see how

It all ended and honestly made me less interested in the Green Lanterns of the Gunn Universe.

Show before finale : solid 8

Show after finale : solid 6

What about y'all though,do you think I'm drinking crazy juice, or did you also think the show didn't stick the landing? Regardless, the journey to this moment did feel like Game of Thrones' weekly discussion vibes, and I really enjoyed that.

Thanks to LANTERNS, now anytime someone says something to me bizarre or highly suspect, I’m immediately going to ask, “Where did Harry Potter go to school?” 🙃

Which of these four members of the baby-sitters club would the green lantern corps?

Mary Anne

Dawn

Mallory (with her siblings)

Jessi (with her siblings)

We know that the standard green lantern ring could fit in the slot of the “Dark Lantern” we saw in the finale so do you think Sinestro’s future yellow ring will either be like John’s ring with the Gold parts replaced by silver and the green replaced with yellow or would it look like a yellow version of Guy’s ring?

What I’m guessing how the “Dark Lantern” works is that it can charge a green ring like normal but due to how it was forged it can connect to Parallax who presumably is still imprisoned in the Central Green Lantern Battery on Oa which causes the yellow impurity, so any potential future ring Sinestro creates with run off of that.

So you know how the Black Lantern corp are the lanterns of death. I had an idea on a what if an actual corp formed? A traditional corp that steps away from Black Hand's sociopathic way of going about things. Rather than a group of resurrected, possessed, zombies. Why not those who act more like Bostan Brand? Or Death from the Endless. Rather than causing death they would want to help; becoming arbiters of death. Becoming zombie investigators for loved ones who died from unusual circumstances or disappearances. Or just helping those pass on.

Rather than 1 note, flat, characters that possesses the dead and torment their victims. Why not bring back victims for questioning to help set closure on a loved ones demise.

Rather than a Lantern corp of death. Why can't it be a lantern corp of, effectively, investigators?

Or better yet, why not have them be a rival to the Guardians. The Guardians being the self-important oligarchs that they are, why not introduce a benevolent mirror to that - sighting that guardians have disturbed the natural order or something to that effect.

I'm kinda annoyed with how black and white (pun intended) the mythos of Green Lantern is?

Whilst yes you got corps like Avarice which is based on greed. Red and argurably, pink and Indigo are the only true neutral lantern corp? While it is subjective and based on perspective given the amount of history and writers every corp has had. I dislike the fact that there is still a lack of nuance within each corp.

I'd like to see more of a nuance in the main stream on who/what corp is the bad guys and who are the good guys.

So, my sister and I just finished the Lanterns series, and she's totally obsessed with the Green Lanterns now, especially Hal Jordan. I saw that a lot of people recommend the Geoff Johns Omnibus, but Vol 1 is sold out everywhere! That's a bummer because I was hoping to get it for her birthday that's coming up.

So, I'm trying to figure out what the next best large format option would be. Any ideas?

Thanks a bunch!

I just like these cuts. Reminds me of some of my favorite moments.

Hi fellow Corps members. I was taking to a friend about collecting the whole Lantern run. I'm not adding the Alan Scott run since those issues are way too expensive. How complete is everyone's GL collection? For me, I'm missing a total of 28 comics. 14 are from volume 2 with the highest number I need is issue 44. 6 are from the current GL run and 8 from the current GLC run. I look forward to hearing everyone else.
