Green Lantern: Animated thoughts?

[ctc]

Hmmmm....

It's okay, but there's something missing.... some sort of tension maybe? There doesn't seem to be much buildup for anything. Even the pilot episode, which had a LOT of consequence, seemed oddly blah. (....and Shyir Rev didn't call ANYBODY a dumb-***!)The CGI is okay too, but it's kinda flat and featureless.

The only weird thing for me is that there's a female Oan. Didn't all the females leave at the dawn of time and become the Zamorans? (The movie had one to.... maybe.)

I don't much care for the style of animation but I'm sure I'll warm up to it.

It's premiering in Canada this month, I'm kind of luke warm to it, I tend to go into a lull when WB cancels a DC show I really liked. Almost out of habit, I reject the new offering.

I'm liking it. A little bummed that they gave us the Corps and OA in the opener and then shipped us off to the outer rim of the universe.
I figure they are setting up storylines (like the energy stones last ep) and want to start out slow and build to bigger stories but it was such a tease.
I like that Hal has his white gloves back.

Amazing! Nothing has topped the two-part opener (which got new scenes added to it a few weeks ago) but the series is very cool. Josh Keaton and KMR rock as Hal and Kilowog, and the animation is very slick and stylish. Fight scenes are exciting and the score is fantastic! In a word: 9.

^Agreed. I've said it before, but I really feel that B&B was the last gasp of the old, fun, optimistic DCU that's been on life support since COIE. I can't imagine DC allowing it to go into production now. It's far too fun and light-hearted, for the most part.

I miss "The Brave and The Bold"...

[Earth 2 Chris]

^Yes, Young Justice has definitely picked up for me. As I said earlier, it may be because B&B is gone now, or that there is no recognizable DCU for me to turn to in comics, but I'm liking it more and more.

Being a GL fan, I'm digging on the series a lot. I really like the smooth, fluid animation they use; it seems to fit the characters well as far as flight and the use of their rings. I wasn't sure I was going to like the Razr character, but he is growing on me and I can definitely see an upcoming conflict when he runs back into the Red Lantern Corp. because he's learning that the GLs are NOT necessarily the monsters that Atrocitus painted them to be.

I also like the ship design and hope that, if they do release toys from the series, that the ship is included. I also really like the body that Aya downloaded herself into in last week's episode and need an action figure of it NOW!!!!

Overall, I'm looking forward to owning the whole season on DVD.

And Young Justice has been pretty good of late, too...

I didn't realize it would be a lost in space away from everything he knows and earth and that it would feature the Red lanterns so much. But after watching it so far it is a fun series.

I think it's good so far with potential to be great as characters develop.

I think they are very good. As Chris mentioned there's a Star Trek vibe to it that works for me. Hawkman is supposed to make an appearance down the line as well as Saint Walker and Star Sapphire. The GL movie folks made them stay away from Sinestro because they hoped not to tell the story of his fall prior to the movie.

I like the spaceship, which I never thought I would say. I always hated on super friends when GL made spaceships to fly in because he never did that in the comics, but the spaceship is a good Spock/Data/C3PO type character as well as kind of serving the role of the dog or kid in traditional cartoons.

The newer episodes of Young Justice have been good, too, particularly the one with Wally racing a heart across country to save a princesses' life.

I like the continuity of young justice so much better than the current DCpU.

I have yet to see any of these. Is there a way to catch up on past episodes somewhere on the net?

Try either Hulu or YouTube.

[The Toyroom]

Haven't seen any of them...

[pmwasson]

My son and I really are enjoying them. I was able to watch full episodes on the cartoon network website, but it required I log into my comcast account to prove that I paid for cable.
