Sean FarrellHOST
This is Lanterns, which is based on the DC characters of Green Lantern.
Sean FarrellHOST
This is an American superhero television series created by Chris Mundy, Damon Lindelot, and Tom King.
Sean FarrellHOST
It's on HBO, and it's based on the Green Lantern characters Hal Jordan and Jon Stewart.
Sean FarrellHOST
I really like the fact that when they cast, first of all, Kyle Chandler.

Gary BuechlerHOST
L- Lindelof and King are gonna be gone, and Mundy's gonna be taking over.
Gary BuechlerHOST
Uh, but they have not picked it up yet.
MattHOST
Yeah, I would even go so far – again, this is not like a major egregious error here.
MattHOST
I do think that sometime in the next month there's going to be, whether it's James Gunn or whomever, Lindelof, King, Chris Mundy, whoever is going to say on social media like, okay, maybe we leaned into that just a bit more when, quite frankly, Pete – what is the biggest strength of the weekly episode model? It's what happens in between the episodes.
MattHOST
It's that discussion, that audience engagement, which ain't nothing.
MattHOST
It's why we're here.

Become undeniable.

Showrunner Chris Mundy has even said in the post-interview of episode four that when the writers were developing the Manhunters, they thought of them as being programmed to consistently solving the trolley problem.
ElliottHOST
Do whatever produces the correct outcome, but have no emotion, no hesitation, and that led the writers to this very question, and that being, what's really the difference between being programmed and being parented that hard? That right there changes the way I look at this entire episode.
ElliottHOST
Because Zoe is struggling against what she was programmed to be, and then you have John, who's struggling against what everyone trained him to be.
26 MINS LATER
ElliottHOST
And now he's looking at this Manhunter and asking what if she didn't choose what she became either? And that isn't accidental.
ElliottHOST
It's the thesis of this episode.
ElliottHOST
Again, showrunner Chris Mundy has said that the writers explicitly connected the Manhunters' programming with John's intense upbringing.
ElliottHOST
Going back to this point, but this might be the most important character idea of this episode, and that being John and Zoe are basically mirrors of each other.
J. Scottie St. ClairPANELIST
It makes us a little forlorn, but it ultimately has catharsis.
J. Scottie St. ClairPANELIST
I could totally see it going that way, but I feel like knowing Damon Lindelof, Chris Mundy, and the other writers at the helm working on this, it just feels a little too convenient that both of our protagonists are like, yeah, we know it's Zoe.
J. Scottie St. ClairPANELIST
I feel like there's...
J. Scottie St. ClairPANELIST
Maybe she's a Manhunter, but not the only Manhunter or the original Manhunter.
Dan MorenHOST
We are here to talk about Lanterns, which is now airing on HBO Max, a show that adapts the Green Lantern mythos and sets it in a small town in rural America.
Dan MorenHOST
This show comes to us from a fascinating trio of producers, including Tom King, who has been a comics writer for many years, Damon Lindelof, who produced Lost and Watchmen, and the showrunner of Ozark, Chris Mundy.
Dan MorenHOST
I feel like there's a long and tortured history to getting a Green Lantern show to air, and there were other things.
Dan MorenHOST
This got reworked and all that thing.
