Green Lantern: Beware My Power (DTV)

More John Stewart is awesome! I will gladly buy this one. I use to buy every single one of these DTV animated films, but the past year or so I've missed a couple. This one intrigues me. More GL stuff is always cool to see. Need more variety other than Batman & Superman.

The newly 'shaped' universe films have been incredible in my view, particularly the Superman one.
 
Guy and especially Kyle, do not have more outside media appearances than Jessica.

Hal, John, and Jessica… the ones that matter, at least to me. DC seems to think that way as they’re the ones getting the most attention in comics and outside media recently
You can look at the Wikipedia article that lists all of GL's other media appearances and see why they do (well at least Guy does. Kyle and Jessica are tied if you don't count STAS and JLU as two separate appearances)

If you prefer Jessica, that's cool. But yeah Guy and Kyle have more

I don’t know which wikis you’re looking at but clearly they’re outdated. Kyle has barley been in anything and Guy, while having been in quite a number of adaptions, doesn’t beat Jessica. I can list everything if you’d like ;)
 
Watched the new GL/John dtv movie....it wasnt BAD. I certainly enjoyed it than most of the New52 films but it was very overcrowded and rushed. They practically gave Kyles story to John.

Also a lot of the heroes were just very hot headed in this film.
 
That's disappointing. So definitely not on Long Halloween part 1 and 2 level right?

Giving Kyle’s story to John was inevitable. John has no personal connection to Sinestro or really any of the other big GL villains. I’m cool with amalgamating John and Kyle, it had to happen. John doesn’t have any strong comic arcs where he is the lead character. Mosaic is the only big one and that wasn’t that good IMO.

Years ago i came up with an outline for a GL reboot, which was basically the same idea as this movie. With Sinestro and Parallax being the villains, and John having Kyle’s arc.

I am excited for this movie but I’m nervous after seeing these reviews.
 
Well, hearing this is a bit of a bummer. I love John Stewart in the animated Justice League, but giving him Kyle's story is weak... as I love Kyle's story for him. Would have been cool if they did something brand new for John's story.

I'll still check it out. But my expectations are low now.
 
Totally happy with the writers giving Kyle's origin story to John. Makes sense to me.

The issue with this film was the writing itself. It just wasn't on par with what I was expecting from this new continuity. In broad strokes, the story worked. It was the details itself (characterization, chiefly) that left me wanting.
 
Was really hoping they’d drop details about next year’s slate at the panel for this movie, but it doesn’t seem like it.
 
Here's my review of Green Lantern: Beware My Power. It's spoiler-heavy, so be aware of that.

 
These movies always make me wish we could get a new DC Animated Universe.
 
This comics You Tuber I’m subscribed - Casually Comics did a good review/analysis on the film that I thought I might share here:

 
Just ordered this afternoon. Have all of the new DCAU launched films to date. Been a brilliant start to the new 'Tomorrow-Verse' so far.
 
Is it just me or is the animation way better than previous efforts?

The level of animation in this re-launched animated universe has been excellent and 'universal' in it's style & approach, making it feel joined up, it's been brilliant so far.
 
We really do have a strong foundation so far. I like this universe more than the previous. I’m not paying $20 to watch this though,I’ll rent it or wait til HBO Max
 
I went ahead and bought this and ended up enjoying it more than I thought I would. I gotta rewatch the last 15 minutes or so because I watched it too late. But I like the group of characters in this. The Rannian's and Thanagarians war had me intrigued. Having Green Arrow in this was cool as well.
