Costume.

[Ponyboy]

I like the idea that the suit seems to be made of light... it works. I mean look at Wolverine's blue and yellow costume from the comics, right? We love it, but translating it to the screen and keeping it cool is tricky. Same with GL, I reckon. I'm more concerned with Reynolds' portrayal being true to Hal Jordan. Thus far, from what I've seen, I'm more excited about Sinestro (his casting and his look) than anything else.

It's never been done before, so we don't know. But I agree with you in that particular case.

Disagree. Why? Because what we have now is basically the classic suit. It's just been embellished with some texture, which is an inevitable part of turning a 2D drawing into a 3D object. The way it looks fits with the way it is described in the comics. The biggest difference is the lack of white gloves.

Just because we're talking about the costume now doesn't mean we don't care about the performance. The beauty of a forum is that we can talk about the little things in detail.

The concept art looks exactly like the costume we have now, except for the white gloves. And it looks great with them. I don't understand what part of the transition to live action makes the colour white impossible.

I'm happy with the suit as is and I don't feel too strongly about it but I'm still confused as to why some people are so convinced that things suddenly cease to work in live action.

the concept art was a painting. and in live action it would be lit with dark and bright lights.

Still, I believe the difference between drawing and live action is often overstated.

if you notice the surface of the suit has a highlight. a bright glossy look. if you have a highlight on a white surface then the all the details from teh surface are overblown.

Re: the Wolverine costume thing.

I know that it's always been pretty much taken as read that what you've said is correct [especially with the 'Yellow spandex line in the 1st movie] but X-Men: 1st Class has just given us bright yellow and blue costumes that were cool as hell.

 

[JAK®]

Exactly. This whole "it will never work on screen" thing is ******** until someone* actually tries it.

*'someone' being a big budget movie. Fan films and halloween/cosplay costumes don't count.

 

[marcvader]

I agree JAK, until money, quality, and creativity are applied, anything is possible.

This doesn't look natural, to me it's proof Hals suit will change to what he wants it to look like with further training and concentration

I also like how the light is doing a ET heart glow it was a cool idea that goes with the inner strength theme

A ET green lantern would be sweet but I think he would be a indigo or violet lantern in the end

Personally I think the mask looks awful. They should've had it cover more of his nose and not so pointed in areas. He comes off looking like a bird or like a masquerade ball attendee.

Oh I never said they weren't... I said taking the blue and yellow design and making it cool was tricky.

Yeah, they shoulda' made a real mask and CGI the needed effects over it. The way they did it makes it look like a bad Photoshop job.

 

[Marvin]

I think they should have painted it on

 

[Ponyboy]

No, no... magic marker

 

[Man of Tomorrow]

They should have just used this costume:

Screw the CGI suits.

Why? That looks stupid.

movie suit's much better.

If they would have made a real costume for him it would have to have a zipper on it. That wouldn't be right since Green Lantern's costume doesn't have a zipper. Come off it guy, Spider-Man, Iron Man, and even Daredevil had CGI costumes for at least their action scenes. There is nothing wrong with using CGI. In fact it makes films better to watch.

Daredevil should never be a positive example for cgi.

 

[MadVillainy]

I actually think the one for Sinestro is perfect for Hal. It looks the most like something a human would imagine

 

[Man of Tomorrow]

movie suit's much better.

Movie suit looks like cartoony CGI. Way too fake.


An actual armored suit would have looked badass.

Nah, sculpted muscles or armor is the cheap route when they want to avoid spandex.

 

[Man of Tomorrow]

If they went for a more serious tone, the armor would be better.

Form-fitting bright spandex is silly.

They shoulda' just made Hal's costume more like Sinestro's. Best of both worlds, IMO.

well they were going for the look, I just figure think paint would be better a glob of cg.

I think think they should have went the tron legacy route.
