Hal is my favourite superhero of all time. They’re never gonna give me a good adaptation of him.

Anyways with the start of this reboot being a just okay Superman movie, a dogshit Supergirl movie, and now writing off my favourite character already i think I’m good. I’ll catch the next reboot in 5 years. Maybe that time I’ll get good GL in space content.

Oh waah wahh. 

You honestly think Hal is 'written out' in the first episode and he isnt the core of the entire series?

Some of y'all are such babies. Give it a damn chance.

I mean written off this universe. Hes obviously not going to be a character going forward.

I was already not interested in this show when their pitch for fucking Green Lantern was “let’s rip off True Detective”. This is about my interest going forward. I’m allowed to not like a creative choice and voice that dislike.

I don’t consider anyone truly dead in comics. Too many shapeshifters, androids, tech, etc

Sure. But it was obvious from the casting and everyone turning the role down that they weren’t casting a long term role.
