The Green Lantern was born very early. In 1940, the cartoonist Martin Nordl was inspired by the green lights in the subway and designed this new hero. The original human Green Lantern Alan Scott was a railway company employee. Among the subsequent generations of Green Lantern, the more well-known are Hal Jordan, Guy Gardner, John Stewart (Black Green Lantern), Jessica Cruz (Green Lantern) and Simon Baz (Arab Green Lantern) and others. Among them, Hal Jordan should be the most famous, not only one of the founding members of the Justice League, but also a live-action movie (played by Ryan Reynolds). In fact, in the subsequent comics, in addition to the green light, there are also the so-called "Seven Lanterns" (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple) and the concepts of "black light", "white light", and "first light". Extension. Damn it, the whole is a lamp city!
"Green Lantern: First Flight" still features the familiar Hal Jordan as the protagonist, but due to the animation carrier and the 77-minute film length, the film’s shaping of Hal Jordan is almost negligible, including The changes in the background and personality of the characters make the protagonist look rather flat. The only thing that gives a deep impression is the personality of Hal who is brave and optimistic and dares to challenge authority. This is evident from his composure when he met Abin Su who taught him the ring, and his lack of humbleness when facing the Guardian of the Universe on the OA star.
In contrast, the movie’s villain Boss Senisto seems more complicated and interesting. This monarch was also one of the Green Lanterns at first, but he had a big disagreement with the guardians of the universe in the concept of governing the sector, which gave birth to rebellious ambitions. Since the yellow element has a natural restraining effect on the green element, Senistor found the weapon master and obtained the yellow lantern and yellow lantern ring made by the opponent, which directly led to the final yellow-green battle with Hal Jordan. In fact, in the original comics, Senisto also founded the Yellow Lantern Corps and maintained a relationship with the Green Lantern Corps as both enemies and friends. It is an important role that has drawn many story lines.
Speaking of "Green Lantern", the 2011 version of the live-action "Green Lantern" is a topic that can hardly be circumvented anyway. Warner and DC had a good original intention. Facing the raging fire of the Marvel universe next door, they hoped to use new characters to develop their own superhero system, and they also spent 200 million dollars in the budget. However, the film's rush to the street not only caused so much money to fall into the water, it turned Ryan Reynolds into a box office poison, but also disrupted the establishment of the DC Universe. In the final analysis, the live-action version of "Green Lantern" lost to Green Lantern's grand world view, which made it difficult for the film to find a balance between the background and the plot advancement, leaving the regret of climax and premature ejaculation.
It is reported that the new Green Lantern movie is already in preparation, after all, he is one of the backbone of the Justice League. According to the current news, "Green Lantern" is set for 2020. It may be a story about the team. Chris Pine and Tyrese Gibson are expected to star in the two major Green Lanterns, Hal Jordan and John Stewart, of course. May appear early in the two "Justice League". I hope this green superhero can turn over by then, just like Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy", and play a positive role in expanding the world view and expression style.
