If I wanted to be generous (I don't), I'd say it's because they want to scrap Gunn's project. Realistically, we all know your comment is the real reason. John Stewart's popular, but always gets shifted to the side (he's not the only lantern to have that issue when you have a bazillion greens, but aside from maybe Jessica Cruz, he's the only popular one to get shafted).

I do think the Gunn DC universe stuff was overrated, so I'm not surprised they're out. I enjoyed Lanterns, but didn't like returning to an era where the hero can't even wear his costume.

This merger is so painful for me. DC comics were on a roll, and now they're going to tear the whole thing down, again. If they're killing Lanterns, then at this rate they might just hire DiDio and Dixon back to make DC great again.

Flash and Green Arrow had some good runs as well. But that is honestly still staying within their comfort wheel house.

The acting was good, but the episodes dragged on and we got a soap opera about superheros. There is a real writer's crisis in Hollywood when everything is filtered through committees.

I didn't watch it but my friend thinks [older guy] was way more charismatic than they planned and any season 2 they had planned has to be redone

He was very unhappy with the ending. He wants me to watch it so he didn't tell me why but I'm inclined to think

Kinda wild watching Gunn try to handle the whole situation with grace and class, meanwhile the Ellison’s are going full knives out with multiple stories printed like this. Literally could have said ‘wenre looking for a new direction’ and been done with it.

or...audiences aren't buying THE AGENDA. The films all performed poorly or lost money, because instead of listening to fans, Gunn made vanity projects that all followed the same character formula.
