GREEN LANTERN MOVIE COSTUME

There it is. I don't hate it. But still wonder why Hollywood must always change the costume. Just make the fucking comic costume. The work is already done for you. Anyway, this doesn't look terrible and stays pretty close to the core of Hal's costume (waist-up) and they haven't mucked with the GL logo. After looking at it for a few minutes its growing on me... it could have been much much worse. Maybe seeing this after yesterday's awful THOR costume reveals contributes to my higher opinion.

What bugs me the most is the GL casting. Ryan Reynolds is simply WRONG for the part of HAL JORDAN. Reynolds was born to play 2 comic roles: DEADPOOL and WALLY WEST FLASH. Reynolds' strengths are humor and one liners. Hal Jordan has none of those qualities. Looking at that pic above, he makes a better KYLE RAYNER than Hal. Oh well.

Go [re]watch THE RIGHT STUFF.... Sam Shepard as CHUCK YEAGER... THAT's fucking Hal Jordan, baby!
