Watch Green Lantern The Animated Series Season 1 Episode 17 Blue Hope Online Free Stream HD Youtube Video 1x17 Ignore any negative reviews you come across, this show is dead good. In
fact it seems to completely make up for the disappointment that was the
Martian Campbell steered flick that had Ryan Reynolds donning the green
suit and ring before eventually fighting a giant evil black bag of
literally bones with a head that could be mistaken for radiating sick
if not examined closely.
Unlike the Movie, This show is much better constructed. It's overall plot and premise isn't too heavily loyal to the original comics and while it does include a bunch of the old stuff from the source material, It also provides new elements and a different continuity and plot allowing it to attract old fans and bring in newer ones who are unfamiliar with Green Lantern.
The animation is simplistic yet slick and cool-looking with some great special effects that range from flying spacecraft to bright Green/Red Lantern constructs created from either Willpower or anger. The humour and drama of the sneak-peak which aired on Catoon Network is balanced out nicely. It is also the first part of a two-parter Which I will guarantee will leave you wanting to know more about some of the story threads introduced in that premiere.
So overall I'm asking you to give the show a chance even if you didn't like the recent Green Lantern movie (although I admit it wasn't that bad). Don't be put off by a bunch of the negative comments on this page. The Users who put those down probably had their expectations too high or they probably arn't into this sort of stuff. I'm into it. You probably will be too.
Hal definitely deviates from his character in the comics, though that's not necessarily a bad thing. Instead of being rather stiff and serious, he's pretty much the archetypal space cowboy, which is a lot of fun. However, they played on that a little to much, so while he's still a big hero, he comes off as more incompetent and rash than I think he should. I wish he was more like the Hal in 'First Flight'. Though then again, dealing with the guardians, I can't blame him all that much.
Speaking of the Guardians, yea, they're still mostly jerks in this version, except Ganthet. There is hope for them if they can just get Appa Ali Apsa to shut up.
When I first saw the animation, I physically cringed, but it's actually kind of growing on me now. The characters look like they have a fair amount of structure and their movements are a bit unnatural and stiff, but the expressions are well done, especially on Razer (I have a feeling he's going to be the woobie of the series). Atrocitus and Zox still look incredibly goofy though.
The main enemy is the Red Lanterns, and they're very different from the comics. For one, they do not vomit blood every five minutes, but then again this is airing on Cartoon Network, so I can't blame them for removing that one. Other breaks in continuity are the Red Lanterns not dying when their rings are removed, which would have added a deeper level to the show and I'm sad they missed out on it. Also, the Red Lanterns aren't crazy animals, which I can understand to a degree since it would be rather uninteresting having your main bad guys just being rabid henchmen. I wish they were able to get Sinestro in there, but since it was requested that he not be used in the show, I won't hold them for it.
