What Do You NOT Want To See In A GL Movie?

[Wesley Dodds]

I'm a huge GL fan. As i know a lot of you are, but none of us can say they havent taken a few... Shall we say, wrong turns with the mythology over the years...
My question is, what parts of Lantern lore do you NOT want to see up there on the big screen?

My choices are-

Predator-
I really hate Predator! He/she's like the most 90's villain ever created... A fact made all the more frustrating by the fact the character was created in the 80's!

Hal's romance with Arisia-
Yeah, i know, we dont really like to talk about it, i know we all fall back on the old "due to the elongated orbit around its two suns, thirteen years on Graxos IV are like two-hundred and forty on Earth" excuse but, guys... Let's face it here, Hal was in a serious, sexual relationship with what amounted to a child.
The fact that presumably somebody sat down at DC one evening and thought this was an interesting way to take the characters is worrying enough but could you imagine if Green Lantern 4 dealt with this storyline?
Heads would roll!

The Spectre-
GL should be a hard Sci-Fi movie... Keep the meataphysical and supernatural stuff out of it. I loved his roll in Lantern history in the books but The Spectre character is the perfect example of something that can work in a comic book but not in a movie...

Hank Henshaw/Cyborg Superman-
If they do decide to turn Hal bad and destroy Coast City, just let it be Mongul that does it, eh?
Cyborg Superman's just gonna confuse the General audience.
I would hate to be watching the (no doubt stunning) devastation of Coast City in a theatre and then be pulled outa the momnet by some slack-Jawed yokel saying "Wait... Superman blew up Lanterns hometown? Dude, that's AWESOME!" *sniffs glue and falls back to sleep*

What about you?

I don't wanna see a big giant broom or something like that

 

[Keyser Soze]

I don't want to see Hal Jordan becoming Parallax.

I wouldn't mind Cyborg Superman showing up, but perhaps an altered version of the character. Refer to him as Hank Henshaw, and remove the overt Superman elements.

But then he wouldnt be Cyborg Superman... As for the Parallax issue, i think it'll be fine if they keep it a self-contained film and really stress the fact that Hal is possessed... It could be what Spider-Man 3 should've been. Where Hal has to face his own fears to conquer the enemy within sorta thing...
Having said that, if they dont go down the Parallax route, i can see why and i wont be that bothered.

 

[Drakon]

Green Wang.

Seriously, though. I don't wanna see a stupid looking suit at all.

I don't want to see a whole lot of other lanterns until the very end. This needs to be a movie about Earth's Green Lantern at first, not some human becoming a interstellar cop. Save that for the end of the movie as a segway into a sequel.

Heheh!
Yeah, agreed. All i'm saying is Hal better have his white gloves. That's my only problem so far with the otherwise fantastic looking animated movie.

 

[Lobo]

The Spectre can work in a movie, just not a GL one. Spectre should have a movie with Jim Corrigan.

I don't want to ever see Hal Spectre on screen

 

[Mister J]

Jack Black's fat ass.
The Shark

Yeah, that's what i meant. I was only talking about the spectre in relation to Green Lantern...

A stand-alone Spectre-Corrigan movie is cool by me.

 

[protocida]

Hal becoming a villain and Kyle taking over the franchise.

But I liked Wesley's idea of a movie focusing on Hal fighting Parallax possesion ala Spider-Man 3.

Here's another: Drunken/captive Hal.

 

[Changeling]

I don't want to see Kyle or John. I just want to see Guy.
Also, no PARALLAX! PLEASE!

 

[MadVillainy]

No Spectre, no white wings through the hair, no FAIL

 

[Changeling]

I'd like white hair in the end of the third.

 

[protocida]

White Hair?

NO!

 

[D-Man22]

How about silver?

 

[protocida]

Even worst.

 

[D-Man22]

Grey then?

 

[protocida]

Brown hair only.

 

[Wesley Dodds]

Changeling, I'm finally gonna ask... Who is that in your avatar?
I always imagine him screaming whatever it is you've posted.

 

[The Major]

The Shark

It could work. Just use Johns' version.

 

[Wesley Dodds]

It could work. Just use Johns' version.

Only as a secondary "muscle" villain... The shark cant carry a movie on his own.

Agreed.
