I haven't watched it yet, just scrubbed through bits of it for now, but the new GL cartoon actually looks pretty good. I get pretty tired origin stories though. Everyone knows by now how Batman, Superman, The X-Men, etc came to be. Just jump into a good story and stick with it. Outside of that, the animation looks good and hopefully has a good story to back it up.

let's try the attachment and see what that does.
anyway, I got this last week but haven't watched it yet either. I agree about origin stories, just forget 'em now.Attachments:

Both DC and Marvel have done really good work on their direct to DVD cartoon features.

Ok, finally got around to watching it. Wow, it was really good! The actual origin story only takes up about 5 minutes at the beginning. Very entertaining story.
The music and sound fx were great. The main theme seems to be a variant riff on the Justice League / Unlimited theme. If we take New Frontier as a reference point then it's fairly fitting to have the GL and JL themes similar since Hal Jordan is a big part of the JLA's founding.
The animation and art was a surprise as the character design style is very traditional Western animation while the animation itself is more of a high caliber Japanese style. The Japanese teams did a great job on the production.
Somewhere David, you mentioned the whole thing about hiring some guy named "Sinestro" to be on your team of good guys. That struck me as hilarious all the way through.

and it happens ALL the time. look at Mazinga Z- who would possibly go anywhere with a guy named Dr. Hell?
but yeah, this is pretty darn good. I liked it a lot more than Doomsday or Wonder Woman. at least Hal got to make a cameo in JLU at one point.Attachments:

I know Alan Scott was the first, but Hal to me is the only Earth Sector Green Lantern. And all that Parallax and Spectre stuff is complete nonsense.

Unless they retconned it(which is possible)in the last few years Alan Scott has no ties to the Guardians of the Universe. I thought his powers were magical in nature, no? I love the Alan Scott version. Of all the modern GL's Hal is the most iconic.

Alan's were magical in nature until the poorly thought out after Crisis, when DC retconned his ring into the GL Corps. they somehow changed the "necessary yellow impurity" into a weakness to wood...
IDiots! gosh!Attachments:
