Lanterns

 I love James Gunn, I love what he's doing with DC. I loved Peacemaker and Superman. Peacemaker is a troma esque series, Superman pointed out the absurdities of the DC universe. Supergirl....was more of Superman, I guess. Now we have Lanterns, a grittier and darker tale of this universe. Set in my home state it shows the Trumpers being scared of the city folk and then we get alien conspiracies.....holds up. Bit seriously though it's a crime drama disguised as a superhero show. I loved that it didn't try to be a cookie cutter superhero show, it had a voice and gave depth to characters. The acting across the board is top notch, many of Kyle Chandler's lines you could hear Ryan Reynolds say which is sad on how awful that was but this.....this is great. I was worried when Guy Gardner would join that the shift in tone would be huge. A more goofy character joining but much like life we are all different, but in film it doesn't always work, here it did, and his exit at the end being the start of something new more us the audience is exciting. In brightest day, in darkest night I want more of Green Lanterns light.
