Green Lantern The Animated Series Footage

[ClarkLuther55]

This guy totally called it:

I like what I'm seeing for this series. It seems to me that there's a new trend, and it's bashing all things GL. A lackluster film, to some, and suddenly that makes them doubt Bruce EFF-ing Timm? That's kind of crazy to me. Considering his track record.

This show is going to knock it out of the park with a giant glowing green baseball bat, and the critics will be eating their hats

Amazing premiere. I didn't even know if I would even watch this show, after seeing the clunky CGI. But the voice acting, writing, characterization, and drama were top notch. The ending really surprised me. This is NOT just a kiddie show. It handles ideas like deception, vengeance, and sacrifice.

I believe in Bruce Timm.

A very Good start to GL Animated Series, I liked that they decided to go with a different approach with animation that lends itself to making 3D constructs, different landscapes, ships and gives characters a DC Mattel action figure like appearance.

I liked the voice acting by Nathan Fillon as Hal Jordan and Micheal Clarke Duncan as Kilowog.

You mean Josh Keaton as Hal and Kevin Michael Richardson as Kilowog? Fillion was onlly Hal in the DVD movie/shorts Green Lantern: Emerald Knights and Micheal Clarke Duncan was Kilowog in the live action movie.

KMR sounds a bit like MCD. But he doesn't have the same umph to his voice. He voiced Kilowog in Rise of the Manhunters with Reynolds as Hal. I could see where he'd get confused.

Thanks for the info.

KMR does sound like MCD.

i posted this on the other thread so i'll just repost it here.

i didn't like that the lanterns only used the aura in space, they should use it whenever they fly. also im hoping to see some rage crazed red lanterns. i know atrocitus can talk, but i figure these 2 were probably his 2 "generals". so the lower red lanterns will probably be rage induced non speaking beings. like if they ever show their ceremony they spoke of it will have a huge crowd of those red lanterns we know from the introduction of the red lanterns in the comics.

ok, now the animation. im trying to get into it, but at times it just looks like unfinished samples. it is really smooth. i can deal with it though, i am just happy to see space flying.

i also agree the red lanterns in the first episode is kind of blowing your wad. i thought those promos were from the season when we saw the red lanterns, not the first episode. i thought we would get some sinestro corps first then after they are defeated the red lanterns show up.

 

[The Sage]

I'm guessing Sinestro is still a Green Lantern at this point.

 

[misjuevos]

if that is true then the red lanterns really showed up too early.

 

[The Sage]

Not unless they're telling their own story of the mythology.

 

[Kahoot]

I bet Sinestro will be awol till they finally say if there will be a Green Lantern 2 or not.

 

[misjuevos]

Not unless they're telling their own story of the mythology.

then they should go full on. a different lantern just do their own thing in the universe. why half ass it. kids will get any lantern, doesn't have to be hal.

When will they be re-airing the first episode again? I missed it.

This was just a special airing so it won't be on again until next year, and it won't be an hour long package like it was here.

 

[misjuevos]

i suggest looking it up online.

Well, Bruce Timm has already done 2 other Lanterns. Obviously he wanted to use Hal this time around. And DC is also pushing Hal currently. So that's why.

This was a superb start to this series. I was really put off by the fact that it was CGI at first but it worked. I think it been primarily in space really helps the CGI aspect. Love it and cannot wait for even more.

When are the next episodes going to be released?

I saw the first episode today on the CN. The animation was fine. The idea of using a ship to get out to the "frontier" was ok but maybe a bit lame of having a frontier to begin with. As for the Red Lanterns, they seem to be more Yellow Lanterns in the way of controling their powers even though Zilox was doing the blood puking bit. A big way to bypass the ship idea is remember that GLs can basically warp gate even though it is a drain on their power. With the end of the first episode, it sounds like it will follow more of the GL comic instead of GLC. I'm more for story and character development over the animation so not 100% sold on the story yet. Replace Red with Yellow and remove the ship\frontier then it would be a bit more believable for me to be part of GL mythos.

Quiet as it's kept, if you want to make a good space based ScoTt series you need a starship. That is your stage.

 

[KingMadness]

Holy Hell I love this show now! Seen all four episodes that have aired!

The animation and visuals are absolutely stunning!!!!!!! The colors of space and the suits look phenomenal. This version of Hal Jordan is GASP likable(take note Green Lantern movie), and the plot is better than expected. Can't wait for more episodes, the show has finally grown on me, I'm a believer.

The fourth episode of season one (Into The Abyss) was okay, it did not have much story other than Hal, Kilowog and Razer rescuing a stranded cargo ship from falling into a black hole.

This episode felt like watching an episode of Star Trek.

But we got to see the first appearance of ship's computer Aya in human (robot) form.

I like the animation, voice acting and the music.

This was a character development story that built a friendlier relationship between Kilowog and Razar. It also further developed the apathy of Aya as well as gave her a more humanoid form. I think an episode like this is necessary for a series and it is better they do it sooner than later.
