so there is a new trailer to the GL TAS (green lantern the animated series) that premires this friday (11/11/11) the trailer gave me mixed feelings
on one side its going to include the red lantern corps but... they are going to be talking and thinking... unlike the comics where they are (mostly) just raging beasts who dont talk (they use their rings for limited comunication) and i think this should have stayed like in the comics...
on the other hand i like the voice casting and the show seems to have a nice sense of humor...
i will watch the pilot what about you?

EDIT: oops forgot the link there you go:

and an older one (that i havent saw yet)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lapqa1mOyj8

brings another problem of astroticus looking strange and again making the red lanterns to intelegent...
the most anoying part of this is that they could have simply put the sinestro corps instead of the red lanterns! it would still make complete sense!
also i have a bad feeling that the story of the distraction of riut will be changed and not for the better...

What is GL TAS exactly?
green lantern the animated series :p
Eeeeeeew.

Iunno. Green Lantern never really appealed to me in any form, but especially not animated. 'Fear my power to make a giant fist to punch things with!' Then they do ridiculous things like making a fighter jet that shoots missiles. Why not just make a missile?!

They do have a pretty badass creed, though.

I'm sorry, all I could think of was "REBOOT!"


Sure, it's prettier, but there are a lt of aesthetic qualities that make me think of the show. Hell, the Red Lanterns remind me of Hex.

I don't know, it's not horrible, maybe when it comes to Netlfix I'll check it out, but....

While I do questions about the changes they made to the Red Lantern like being able to talk and are tame compare to the violence nature of that Corp but bare in mind that kids are going to watch it.
I don't think the parent will be thrill seeing their kid watch as the red alien vomit out blood like liquid, burning the green alien face with the blood and rip its arm off using its teeth.

OT- I'm not exactly thrill with the whole CGI as CGI animted shows tend to look werid. However I am giving it benefit without a doubt seeing how Bruce Timm (creator of Batman:TAS and pretty much most of DCAU) develop it. Yes I'm not judging it right from the clips but sometime that moral fails me (The Last Airbender).

So this cartoon will continue the trend of making the Green Lanters the pansies of the universe. God, they die more often than Storm Troopers.

Can't say im a fan of the animation style, it looks a bit kiddie for me, but the dialogue was rather good! I've not read any Green Lantern comics, so i've no idea if TAS flies in the face of any of their features, but yeh... this might actually be really good.

I have nothing against CGI in general, but this looks just... terribad. Why do this? Why not use the perfectly good animation style from Justice League? Or even Young Justice. This... this is just half-assed work. I'll give it the benefit of the doubt because of Bruce Timm, but the writing, action... the everything will have to be utterly stunning to make me forget about the atrocity that is the chosen style of visual representation.
