Van LathanHOST
Hal was at one point somebody who John would've been able to have a relationship with that was a little deeper.
Van LathanHOST
And the ring that everybody seems to be so fixated on, and the being of a Green Lantern which everyone seems to be so wrapped up in, that is partly what made Hal into the Hal that we saw.
Van LathanHOST
John is litigating what it means to be the Green Lantern, past, present, and future at every moment in this show.
Van LathanHOST
Now he has a blueprint to what being the Green Lantern did to someone.
Van LathanHOST
How is that gonna change the way he does it? How is that gonna change the way he looks at it, right? And- Seeing somebody that we could have loved even more so than we already did love-
Charles HolmesHOST
Mm-hmm
11 MINS LATER
Van LathanHOST
I guess, to say.
Van LathanHOST
Um, and it is the one gigantic graveyard.
Cam SmithHOST
Yeah.
Cam SmithHOST
But one of the disappointments of the original Green Lantern film with Ryan Reynolds was the villain Sinestro was teased a lot throughout that film and ultimately was going to be sort of a here's the Sinestro that you all know and love.
Cam SmithHOST
In the sequel.
Cam SmithHOST
And it was a cliffhanger thing.
JohnHOST
And I am the third brother, Brother Preston.
JohnHOST
I did make you guys watch the 2011 Green Lantern movie starring Ryan Nathaniel Reynolds.
JohnHOST
And I actually don't want you to put your cards on the table before we get through this.
JohnHOST
I would like to get through the plot synopsis, if you don't mind.
JohnHOST
It's just important to mention that the movie drops so much lore on us immediately.
JohnHOST
It tells us the Guardians of Oa are...
JohnHOST
Harnessed willpower and created the sectors of the Green Lantern Corps.
JohnHOST
And then it also dumps on us that Abin Sur, one of the Green Lanterns, captures Parallax, the worst guy that's ever been on a planet named Riot.

Hilton, for the stay.
Ben WanHOST
This month, we're covering how a great Green Lantern script by Greg Berlanti, Mark Guggenheim, and Michael Green got completely butchered by the time it became the 2011 movie starring Ryan Reynolds.
Ben WanHOST
This early draft has a more emotional story for Hal Jordan, a different cosmic villain, more Sinestro and the Green Lantern Corps, and more DC Universe Easter eggs.
Ben WanHOST
This is what we should have gotten in 2011, and this is Superhero Stuff You Should Know.
Ben WanHOST
Welcome, everybody, to Green Lantern Stuff You Should Know.
Ben WanHOST
Yes, this is the next part of the Green Lantern sort of two-parter we had.
Ben WanHOST
We did the Robert Smigel script last time, last month, that almost had Jack Black, and now we have a serious adaptation of Green Lantern.
Ben WanHOST
This is Ben Estro, as my name is said on the screen here, and with me, as usual, is...
Julian Lee ZamaHOST
Ryan Reynolds said, uh, if it weren't for Green Lanterns, he wouldn't have the career he has today.
Julian Lee ZamaHOST
So let's see what got his career started with the Green Lantern.
Julian Lee ZamaHOST
I don't know when it came out, but-
Xander RuthHOST
All right.
Julian Lee ZamaHOST
He's, he's related, so it's, we're keeping it in the family y'all.
Xander RuthHOST
In the family.
Julian Lee ZamaHOST
Um, but yeah, we will be back, uh, for next week's episode, uh, Green Lanterns.
Julian Lee ZamaHOST
Do, do you know how to sign us off, bro? Do you know what we do at the end?
Jake ChristieGUEST
They're
TeejHOST
about to watch the Green Lantern
Jake ChristieGUEST
movie.
Jake ChristieGUEST
No, for our Patreon, in anticipation of Lanterns, we rewatched Green Lantern 2011.
Jake ChristieGUEST
Is it as bad as you remember? The thing about it is I actually didn't watch it when it came out because it had bad reviews.
Jake ChristieGUEST
The thing about it is it actually is not that fun of a movie to talk about because the problem with it is it is bad in the ways that superhero movies were bad in 2005.
Jake ChristieGUEST
Blake Lively is so miscast.
Jake ChristieGUEST
Isn't it how they met? They met on that set, right? I've been asking people this.
Lane TerasakiPANELIST
Yeah.
Ryan HigginsHOST
um let's talk about good movies here okay let's talk about good movies ryan reynolds says he would totally cameo in lanterns because he owes entire movie to the green lantern movie that he was in so let's talk about good movies here he owes his entire career his entire career to the green lantern movie that he was in correct
Toby SidlerHOST
correct
Ryan HigginsHOST
so uh ryan reynolds uh off the hit green lantern movie um i I think he played some other comic book characters, but I don't know who they are.
Ryan HigginsHOST
Now wants to cameo in Lanterns because he remembers how amazing
Toby SidlerHOST
his Green Lantern movie was.
Toby SidlerHOST
And I agree.
Ryan HigginsHOST
Ryan Reynolds, me and you agree, your Green Lantern movie was fantastic.
Riley HamiltonHOST
No.
Amy ScarlataHOST
He, um, I think he's, like, promoting Green Lantern or whatever, and there, he talks about that scene specifically and how it took them a long time to get on track.
Amy ScarlataHOST
Like, it just wasn't hitting, and it, like, wasn't working, and they were like, "Ugh," like, he was getting discouraged.
Amy ScarlataHOST
And then something clicked where he was like, "I'm gonna, like, really, like, make fun of him and start to, like, laugh in his face and sort of, like, kick it up a notch."
ElliottHOST
We open in Mid-City, and Jon Stewart is almost unrecognizable from the guy we left in Episode 5.
ElliottHOST
He's in a pitch meeting with no ring, no guardians, no Green Lantern Corps, but instead, he's an architect, which is obviously a huge comic book payoff.
ElliottHOST
As we discussed weeks ago, Jon Stewart debuted in the comics as an architect, and that background eventually became fundamental to why his Green Lantern constructs are so detailed and structurally precise.
ElliottHOST
But we see what John designs.
ElliottHOST
We're not talking about skyscrapers or museums, but panic rooms.
ElliottHOST
He's also confident in this scene, he seems to be stable, and he isn't waiting for someone to choose for him anymore.
ElliottHOST
As we can see, John has built something for himself.
ElliottHOST
But within this meeting, someone brings up John's past by mentioning the rumor that he was supposed to be the next Green Lantern.
John SiuntresHOST
But I don't think Cain, Cain is the last name of several characters in Batman stories, including that woman, Kate Cain.
MitchPANELIST
I thought it was a tribute to Gil Cain from the Green Lantern artist.
MitchPANELIST
That's why I was like, oh.
MitchPANELIST
Good
MitchPANELIST
They went to the tariff sketch.
MitchPANELIST
But the thing is, it was so well written.
MitchPANELIST
And it's so sad because I grew up with the Green Lantern.
MitchPANELIST
Hal Jordan's always been my favorite since I was a kid.
