This is 100% a political move.

It’s too woke.
The Skydance owners will create The White Heterosexual Cis Male Conservative Lantern TV series to take its place.
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.
I was really looking forward to more of it.
I guess with DC if it is not supes, bats, or joker they do not care about it.
Flash and Green Arrow had some good runs as well. But that is honestly still staying within their comfort wheel house.
I watched a few of the first episodes of Green Arrow, and totally forgot it was a DC show.
Peacemaker was also a really good show that got, I think, 2 seasons. Titans was another good one, and wow, that got 4 seasons.
They need to bring back Lobo as portrayed by Emmett Scanlan. Even if it is only a few episodes somewhere.
Too bad, if true. I enjoyed the first season.
“Lanterns,” their first live-action TV show, had posted decent viewership. Yet an insider at the company suggests the crime drama isn’t quite capturing the zeitgeist, pointing out the show didn’t get renewed for a second season.
Not sure if the title changed but technically that doesn't confirm it isn't renewed, just that it hasn't been renewed yet. The show had a writers room for season two, which means someone was planning on a season two.
I do think we're not getting a season 2, but I don't think it's a given yet. It doesn't fit the "family friendly" vibe that it looks like the new guy is aiming for, but it's only been a day so we'll wait and see.
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
Tap for spoiler
old guy was supposed to die but they didn't kill him because fans loved him
Without spoiling anything I think season 1 ended as planned and they set themselves up for a few different options in season 2. I don't think they'll have to scrap anything, but I do think they'll adjust the plans for Hal Jordan (older guy) based on his reception.
I understand being unhappy with the ending. The show is fast paced and it could have used a little more room to breathe. I liked what happened (from a story perspective), but I understand why someone might not.
So Gunn made all the money at Marvell but none of the money at DC and this is Gunn’s fault?
Or is David Ellison just throwing a hissy fit?
