(Green) Lanterns Writer Thinks Your Character Is Stupid

Damon Lindelof, a writer on HBO’s upcoming Lanterns series, went on a podcast and laughed about how the whole team agreed “the green was stupid”... then brushed off the power ring like it was just a silly toy.

In this breakdown I look at the real business cost when creators publicly dismiss the core elements that give these characters any value at all. No rage, just the numbers and the pattern.
