Actually, it was the 1997 costume that caused the biggest uproar. But the rest of the changes were much more gradual than you attempt to portray.
Maybe, maybe not. But I’ll wager that, in any case, comics fandom back then wasn’t chock full of the self-important manchildren that so swell its ranks nowadays.
It’s OK. I will be more concerned about how his ‘powers’ are done than the suit.
I like it.
That is truly awful. It looks like a bad high school play costume created by the home ec class (but only after the good costume got sent to the 4H Fair for judging). That costume takes far more liberties with the comic costume than the one in the OP.
Sure it was. It’s just that today they have the intrawebs to help them find each other and know that they aren’t alone. So terribly, terribly alone…
Well, it was a little more gradual than that.
LOL That is EXACTLY what I thought of when I saw it - radioactive waste
You didn’t see the stinger after the credits, did you?
Slam Evil!
Well, maybe it’ll look better in motion. I love Green Lantern and would watch two hours of Reynolds sitting in a dim room reading War and Peace, so I’m still clinging to the possibility that this won’t be awful. I don’t know how much they can count on the geek-girl demographic, though. Hope springs eternal.
No, THAT outfit sucks.
That outfit is Standard Hollywood Superhero Costume #45,168. It’s just like all the rest of them; take the colours, dull them down/add lots of black, and make it look padded and leathery. Boring.
The CGI suit might look great on screen. It might look terrible. But at least it’s different.
Concur.
Can you define “pillow biting” in this context? The only definition I know for the term doesn’t make any sense the way you’re using it.
But it IS your fault you do such a collectively dead-on impression of Comic Book Guy. I was thinking the EXACT same thing that MT Cicero was, and I’m sure many others were, too.
This just made me giggle.
I’m rather ‘meh’ on the official costume…doesn’t look great in the still, but superhero costumes rarely do. (The Spider-Man costume looked absolutely horrible in preliminary stills…looked great in the actual movies.) It’s interesting, if nothing else. And ALIEN - which is always a good thing when it’s supposed to have been originally designed by aliens.
(My main problem with the pic is Reynolds looks way too much like Ben Stiller for my taste…)
The one Grumman linked to is worse - although the suit itself isn’t bad - no better, but not bad - the mask is horrible. It looks like the bastard child of a cheap domino mask and a length of Hot Wheels track… Or someone wanted to model it on Kyle’s mask, then chickened out…and wedded a cheap domino mask with a length of Hot Wheels track.
Here? Who knows, yet.
In the comics (and the DCAU cartoons)…Both!
While the costumes are, by all appearances, solid, material, items - they remain when the wearer’s ring is completely discharged, removed, or otherwise disabled, and can be damaged - but, they’re also generally shown to be created, or turned back into their civilian clothes, by the ring at the GL’s desire, and, in the last couple years, it’s gotten common to embellish them with ring-constructs - specifically, making the symbol glow and/or hover in front of the Lantern him/her/it/themself. (Then there are the Alpha Lanterns, who are Lantern, Ring, Battery and costume all in one…)
If I was saying it strayed too far from canon, that would be an impression of Comic Book Guy. If anything, I’m saying it doesn’t stray far enough from canon.
Cool, sort of like a star sapphire.
I don’t get what’s wrong with you people. He looks like the Green Lantern, no more no less.
