6 Thoughts on the First Season of Lanterns (Review)
The first season of Lanterns has come and gone and it’s turning out to be pretty controversial online — at least in the circles I frequent. Lots of ‘Surf Dracula’ talk. People upset that there wasn’t more Green Lanterning. You know how the internet can be. Well I’m here to deliver my personal opinion and review on the first season of Lanterns!
TV Show Rating: 8/10 – Very Good
I liked it a lot! I will admit that my grade did go down a level from when I started writing this list until after watching the finale, but I’m not one of the people who hated the finale. I thought it was a solid ending to a solid show, which stuck to its intended tone and story all the way through. Surf Dracula? Maybe. Does that bother me? Not with Lanterns, not really. But I’ll get more into the nuance later. The important thing is, we have a Green Lantern TV show and there’s going to be more in the future!
Join me after the jump for my full thoughts on the first season of Lanterns. Expect FULL SPOILERS for the entire season. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below.

San Diego Comic-Con is in full swing and a bunch of trailers have come out, but it’s a lazy Sunday, so I’m only in the mood to share this one. We’ve got a big, extended, full of stuff trailer for the upcoming Lanterns TV show. I think it looks great.
I always had faith in this show. I didn’t buy into any of the negativity about it being too drab or brown, or there not being enough green, or Hal Jordan being too old. People be complaining about so much stuff these days. But it’s that sort of world, and I try to let it roll off my back. This show looks great. I’m all for a gritty crime drama, and this one is now coupled with the Green Lantern Corps, full of characters and aliens and powers and rings and Sinestro. I’m all-in.
Lanterns comes to HBO Max on Aug. 16.

6 Thoughts on Superman (Review)
This review is about two weeks late and I apologize for that. Such is life, eh? Anyway, I saw Superman opening weekend in the theater and had a blast. I was very much looking forward to this movie and had nothing but faith in James Gunn to deliver, and he did so in spades. Great film!
Movie Rating: 9/10 – Great
I was mostly lukewarm on all the DCEU movies. I didn’t care for Man of Steel and, even though I think I’ve only seen it that one time in theaters, I just don’t care for it. I probably enjoyed Joss Whedon’s Justice League more than Zack Snyder’s Justice League. I enjoyed both Aquaman movies. But I am more than ready for James Gunn to deliver a new, better DC Cinematic Universe. Let’s hope they’re all as good as Superman.

Rumors have been swirling for weeks now, and yesterday we got final confirmation that Kyle Chandler will play Hal Jordan and Aaron Pierre will play John Stewart in the upcoming HBO show Lanterns. Solid casting!
I have very high hopes for this TV show. The Penguin has been awesome so far, largely because it’s a gritty crime drama that just happens to be about the Penguin. So I’m hoping we get a gritty cop drama that just happens to be about the Green Lantern Corps. Granted, it’ll hopefully be more colorful and cosmic than a gritty crime drama, but I have faith that they will make it work. And this is a good cast to make it happen!
And don’t forget Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner in the Superman movie!
We’ve got a good Corps on our hands. Here’s hoping we get even more characters, and even more of the rainbow corps!
