Green Lantern treats "worldbuilding" the way a toddler treats a fruit bowl — enthusiastically, briefly, then forgotten.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Green Lantern?
Rewatched Green Lantern last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

The cinematography in Green Lantern is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Director clearly thought Green Lantern was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

Unpopular opinion: Green Lantern is the most overrated film of the decade
