And why the Guardians of Oa NEED to be babysat by the senior of Lanterns lest we forget the near destruction of all multi-verse creation by the Guardian's ambitions.
The best part about this show is how well it handles constructs. GL can do anything he can imagine, but is always nerfed to just making bubbles and lasers whenever he's in something like a Justice League show. This show gives them either versatility or power. Kilowog held the line against an entire fleet of starships.
@@SourRobo8364 Contrast the lantern in the beginning of the Snyder Cut. He swung a hammer, like, once. He could have been as strong as one of the Greek Gods in that scene, at least when it comes to knocking over Parademons.
The show creators still want to revive it and because the audience is adults now they want to make the show darker Which is very good if this happens because sinestro war and blackest night need to be really graphic to work
@@zackbard9420 i actually think it would make sense to make him only a recurring character I swear there was like art of hal kilowog and aresia (I forgor her name I think she is in emerald knights) with sinestro looming over them
I would make the show go like this S2pt1: sinestro corp war S2pt2: war of light full blown (orange lantern, star sapphire, etc, basically a prelude to blackest night) S3pt1: blackest night. With crossover from the dcAU (separate universe but I think blackest night is a multiversal event in comics?? I dunno, I want to see like dead superman or whatever) S3pt2: brightest day, secrets of the indigo corp, and I dunno wrath of the first lantern I mean it feels criminal not making blackest night being a pt 2 of a season. I dunno. Fully adapt the run. PLEASE
The show was really cool, i still remember thinking that the Planet Lantern showing up to help Killwog during the end of season 1 was the coolest thing i had seen in years
I live the scene where she gives him a new oath and he lies to her. Then in privacy you see him in anguish as he recites the true oath that he knows he no longer believes in but cannot abandon as he sees no other path to power at this time. It reminds me of dark knight Cecil from FFIV. He hated his dark sword but after years of training with it he can't simply toss it away as he needs power to confront the evil he knows is approaching.
Having Razer, talk much more soft spoken than Killowog and Hal was a really helped prevent audiences as just seeing him as “the angry one”. I wish he was in the comics more.
@ ya I’ve read the recent GL stuff and he’s kinda just a damsel I’m distress. Same problem as YJ where they just expect people to know who he is without a good introduction.
One of the biggest reasons why I'm a die hard G.L fan is this awesome show, it deserved so much more and done alot of good for the Green Lantern mythos. (Damn, you really put the Title card in Yellow, huh? 💀)
This series is DC's most underrated gem of a show! I ABSOLUTELY ADORE THIS SHOW SO MUCH! This was the show that showed me the massive scale and amazing potential of Green Lantern as this epic sci fi saga with fascinating creative lore and mythology, deep complex and interesting characters and amazing level of storytelling and nuance brought to a fantastic show too many have forgotten. I swear DC and WB are missing out on a goldmine when it comes to the cinematic potential of Green Lantern on the same level of quality storytelling this show had. I know many tend to prefer John Stewart and I love John too but I do also love Hal Jordan as rhe character has constantly been s*** on by DC even though hes actually an interesting, fun likable character who has a lot of emotional complexity to him that this show does a terrific job at exploring his flaws but also hi overwhelming will power and strengths as a character as he has plenty of insecurities we've all faced and even when he feels unworthy of being a GL his will overcomes rhe impossible abd thats inspiring. Razor and Aya are also arguably the most complex characters in the show and their relationship and dynamic is so excellently written and you see how much their relationship grows and how Razor was anchored by his rage but slowly earns redemption and grows to balance his rage and embrace his hope and love for Aya. I am so glad he is now officially canon to the comics. Kilowog was also such a great character that Kevin Micheal Richardson does a great job bringing to life as you see his undying loyalty for Hal, his fellow Green Lanterns and to Razor ans Aya. Aya is also such a terrific character and I love how they took their time diving into her innocence as a machine slowly learning emotions even when she became a villain she understood what it meant to live by sacrificing herself. Frankly I just adore how this show does a phenomenal job at exploring the Emotional Spectrum of Lantern Corps which is some of my favourite world building in the DC Universe and shows us the importance and validity of our feelings and why we should embrace and balance them instead of bottling them up. I just love this show so much and if any animated comic book show deserves a second season and given the X-Men 97 level of quality revival, it deserves to be Green Lantern The Animated Series!🟢💍🥹
Man this series is great. Love the animation. Gives Hal a proper character introduction and development along the way. Wish we got to see more of the Corps members but glad we saw some of them. Kilowog, Razor, and Aya were great. Man if we get Razor and Aya in the live action but don't want to get my hopes up. Seeing the different Lantern factions, possibly teasing the Lanterns' avatars. This show was great. Always rewatchable. Screamed seeing Razor and Kilowog reunite in YJ. 10/10 show.
I should clarify that the show didn’t have poor toy sales like Young Justice did. It had NO toy sales since the movie’s failure led to retailers not wanting toys for the series. With no toys to promote, the show became pointless to Cartoon Network. A similar thing happened to Beware the Batman.
Young justice did not have poor ratings either. It actually had the wrong rating. A lot of teenage girls loved Young Justice and they wanted young boys to sell toys to.
@@patrickmoler8025 You're both wrong. Young Justice got cancelled because it just sucked. That's why it got cancelled the first time, that's why it got cancelled the second time. It's just bad and you're coping.
@@lazaroskarmaniolas7410 Thats not why studioes cancel shows lol Youve approached the situation with neither reason, nor compassion... just hate... one can only hope you not only cope but heal from it...
@@patrickmoler8025 There was some data that was posted a few years ago that showed that female viewers weren't any higher than male ones. Besides, the whole "YJ got canned because girls watched it" is a myth.
@@patrickmoler8025 There was some data analysis over that years ago, and it turns out that girls didn't see it at any higher rate than boys did. Gender never affected Young Justice's cancellation. It was pretty much a lack of toy sales.
one of my favorite things about this show was that it pulled some of the more obscure characters and lore from dc in a way that the average new fan that’s watching can actually understand
17:44 and what made that moment between two characters so great is that afterword in privacy, he recounted the original Red Lantern chant. . . Such a great series
Not many people watched this series or even really know of its existence, let alone people covering it on youtube, so I was very pleased to see this and thought it was very well put together. You even brought up points that I never thought of despite loving this show since its premiere. Keep up the great work, man. I hope this encourages more people to check out the show.
This is my fav show of all time, shame it never had a s2. I hoped DCU has a lanterns show like this but in live action, but after recent news i cant say im excited for that knowing it'll be nothing like this peak.
@@SkyTheBear It being set in an american heartland, and that Hal is going to be old as hell, which means he's not going to be a GL for long in this universe. None of this makes me feel like its gonna be heavy sci fi in space like this show was, it feels more like a yellowstone type show lol. Look i hope the shows great, but i REALLY doubt that it'll be anything as good as GLTAS, both as a GL show, and as a show in general.
@@Temple277 I think the show has the potential to be good, but you’re right it probably won’t be good in the same way. Like the new Penguin show isn’t explicitly a “Batman show” and more like a crime drama. The draw of GLTAS is taking the kind of ridiculous idea of “space rainbow emotion rings” and taking it seriously while telling a good story. I hope the new show can offer something unique like that
@@SkyTheBear Same, i hope we're proven wrong about this, but even if we do we gotta admit they gotta deacribe these shows better if Lanterns is like GLTAS but in live action [which fingers crossed for that!] And i'll say it, its always a red flag imo when they describe a comic book show as "grounded" or "realistic" lol. Have a great day!
Underrated show, if anything I just wish Green Lantern media would have had some underrated villains like Doctor Polaris and Evil Star; just Non-Spectrum villains.
Honestly on Aya's part her being in the Justice League Action universe is less "Inconsistent Continuity" and more like somehow she ended up being throw into a whole alternate Earth/Universe after she "died". Then the multiverse shenanigans of "Crisis on Infinite Earth's" lead to them reuniting. Because JLA couldn't be anymore different from the GL:AS and the YJ universes.
I'm surprised there are not many green lantern shows and movies specially since star wars and star trek are still really popular. People like space traveling adventures, and you can adapt that concept into anything.
Lots of happy memories watching this show week to week, its a beautiful series that ended too soon. I love each and every one of the characters and their relationships. Truly my favorite incarnation of the Green Lantern story!
I'm glad you had a chance to check out this show, and more than that - that you've given us this video essay about it. Even as a Green Lantern fan, when this came out I was nervous about it. But I came out the otherwise considering it one of my favorite superhero shows of all time, up there with Justice League and Batman Beyond.
Thank you for this, truly! GL is in my top three, and I was greatly disheartened when they pulled the plug on this series. The story, villains, character growth, A++ work. I’m still recommending folks to this series!
About 5-6 years ago my one sister and I were watch all the DC animated movies and shows we could find and we watched Green Lantern: First Flight & Emerald Knights. We had always kind of heard the the lanterns were a bit of a joke (probably because of how badly the live action movie was received). Anyway, we loved the two animated movies and we had also loved John in the animated show. So we I learned there was a green lantern show i we immediately looked it up on the dc streaming services we had at the time. We watched it and absolutely LOVED it. I have it on dvd now.
This show should've NEVER been canceled. This was fantastic. It was the ahow and young justice that i learned about toy sales and the show tied together with toy not selling well, then the show gets canned. And why should such a great show, a work of art, get canceled because toy manufacturers can't advertise their products effectively? Canceling and not bringing this back is a crime. Screw the toys. If it has high viewership and great ratings, keep it going. These shows shouldn't be dependent on toys to survive.
I missed this show back when it was airing and never got around to watching it but always heard good things. Really seems like they covered a lot in that one season. They made this a little while after all the Sinestro Corps War and Blackest Night stuff too so it's kind of neat to see that they were covering so many pretty fresh stories since I see Orange Lantern stuff in there too. Maybe I can drag my friend into watching it with me sometime.
First of the greed ring was orange not yellow. The yellow ring is fear. Second the orange ring tempted them. Third this was a great deconstruction and I'd love to see you work over that young justice episode as it did him very well.
Orange (greed) is my favorite. I like the idea of it being just one turbo charged ring. If I was a lantern it would probably be Indigo, not necessarily by choice.
I remember watching this show with my ilder siblings when we were all tennagers and absolutely losing our MINDS in the final scene when the blue ring came up on screen. I never realized there was some continuity.
This series is a blast! Worthy of the Animated Series subtitle. It is also why I began buying comics, starting with Geoff Johns' Green Lantern omnibuses.
At least they parts of Green Lantern animated survive in Young Justice, Justice League action and cameo crisis in infinities earth. I am still angry that we will never see A *Alien Green Lantern from the Sequel of Justice League Gods and Monsters.* What could’ve been. We don’t know if this character is original or not.
I really like this style. I didn’t watch this show but I feel like you gave me everything I needed to appreciate it and how that modeled the characters.
Thus was one of my favorite DC shows and I loved how great of a job it did introducing kiss (me) to the overly complex lantern lore and emotional spectrum. We even got the antimonitor (guardians just need to stop making stuff). I'd love a proper continuation. The Razer episode in Young Justice would be a perfect back door pilot. I'd love to see Red and Blue Lantern Razer scouring reality (and other realities) to find Aya. It could even lead up to the crisis movie (though they'd have a lot of work to connect everything with GLTAS already using the Antimonitor).
I still remember shrieking, pointing my finger at the screen, and kicking the couch with the back of my heels when I saw the last few seconds of this show for the first time. It was the first time any piece of media had elicited such an outward positive response from me, who was much more emotionally reserved back then. Such an amazing conclusion to a wonderful show
Managed to Watch this show, really solid story and characters even tho it still kinda feels like it cant be cause of the style lol. But actually watching, they work well designing within that I couldnt process it would be this good, and yet it was, but i still dont believe it lol Felt quite longer than 26 épisodes, they just develop stuff so well
I adore this show and it made me a big green lantern fan so much that it’s sad we have not gotten another green lantern movie or show. James Gunn will change that
Man when I first saw this show years ago I was ready to write it off as trash until I started watching it. I was blown away by how great it was. One of my favorite shows in the DC universe.

This show was my first glimpse into understanding what the Green Lanterns were really about
And why the Guardians of Oa NEED to be babysat by the senior of Lanterns lest we forget the near destruction of all multi-verse creation by the Guardian's ambitions.
I truly loved this show amazing animation and story was very great Characters were excellent.

"They're like my children."
*Immediately starts swearing at them.*
Yep, he's a dad alright.
Watching this show (and Young Justice) when it was on the air was what snapped me out of my “DC is boring and dark,” phase.
Then YJ got a new season and became boring and dark.
This show was so good! Should have made more episodes. YJ tried after coming back. But I still watch it over, again.
I mean the comics kinda were.
@@lazaroskarmaniolas7410Why be wrong on purpose?
Same here. Got me into Green Lantern. Before I just liked the OG Teen Titans and Batman/Superman TAS. Also Batman Beyond.

It's like the opposite of Batman, they are super OP in their stand alone series but get nerfed during team ups.
@@Rexer083 and Wonder Woman usually tells the GL's... "nothing personal they do that to me too."
@Rougesteelproject, that was one of the first lanterns. Plus, in the Snyder cut, he only used lasers. He didn't know how to use constructs yet.
"Through the power of inconsistent continuity, they find eachother."
...I'll take it.
This show basically introduced me to GL as a kid. Lots of good characters. And I'm so glad Razer somehow was able to get his arc completed.
This show did not deserve to be canceled
It really deserved better we were so ignorant back then because we didn't and refused to understand it
The show creators still want to revive it and because the audience is adults now they want to make the show darker

I watched season 1 of this show so many times. I will never not love it.
One of my favorite shows of all time, thank you for covering it!
Thank you for this, truly! GL is in my top three, and I was greatly disheartened when they pulled the plug on this series. The story, villains, character growth, A++ work. I’m still recommending folks to this series!
The Green lanterns are some of the best parts of the DC universe and its larger mythos as a whole
If you like Hal in this show there's no reason you would dislike Hal in the comics, one of DC's best heroes.

Razr. The only other character that so perfectly blends rage and hope I can think of is Prince Zuko.
Absolutely love the idea of longer videos
isn't greed/avarice the orange energy, and yellow is fear?
Yes
I think he might be color blind? Can't see red?
Always thought u would love this show. Ty for the amazing video essay, implicitlypretentious!!
Thank you for reminding me this series gets its endings in completely different shows
At least they parts of Green Lantern animated survive in Young Justice, Justice League action and cameo crisis in infinities earth.
I am still angry that we will never see A *Alien Green Lantern from the Sequel of Justice League Gods and Monsters.* What could’ve been. We don’t know if this character is original or not.
Lol YJ sucked so much it had to ride the coattails of another show to make people interested in it. What a farce of a show.

Ye indeed, someones elses Green Lantern analyses got me to watch the show
Thus was one of my favorite DC shows and I loved how great of a job it did introducing kiss (me) to the overly complex lantern lore and emotional spectrum. We even got the antimonitor (guardians just need to stop making stuff). I'd love a proper continuation. The Razer episode in Young Justice would be a perfect back door pilot. I'd love to see Red and Blue Lantern Razer scouring reality (and other realities) to find Aya. It could even lead up to the crisis movie (though they'd have a lot of work to connect everything with GLTAS already using the Antimonitor).
I never gave the show a chance because I resented the forefronting of Hal over better lanterns like John/Kyle.
I still remember shrieking, pointing my finger at the screen, and kicking the couch with the back of my heels when I saw the last few seconds of this show for the first time. It was the first time any piece of media had elicited such an outward positive response from me, who was much more emotionally reserved back then. Such an amazing conclusion to a wonderful show
Razer and Aiya a love across the multiverse found each other in the end.
Managed to Watch this show, really solid story and characters even tho it still kinda feels like it cant be cause of the style lol. But actually watching, they work well designing within that
I couldnt process it would be this good, and yet it was, but i still dont believe it lol
Felt quite longer than 26 épisodes, they just develop stuff so well
I adore this show and it made me a big green lantern fan so much that it’s sad we have not gotten another green lantern movie or show. James Gunn will change that
Man when I first saw this show years ago I was ready to write it off as trash until I started watching it. I was blown away by how great it was. One of my favorite shows in the DC universe.
Thank for making a video for about this series truly missed
