LANTERNS Explains Why Guy Gardner Is the Green Lantern
On a usual day, Nerdist's back catalog of breakdowns and timelines draws a steady crowd. Lately it has been drawing a noticeably bigger one, even though nothing new went up all week.
The credit goes mostly to the Green Lanterns. "LANTERNS Explains Why Guy Gardner Is the Green Lantern" is 13 days old and still the channel's busiest video. In it, longtime Nerdist host Kyle Anderson tackles a question DC fans have carried since Nathan Fillion showed up wearing the ring in Superman: why Guy, and not Hal Jordan or John Stewart? According to the description, episode 5 of the HBO series finally answers that and lays out the origin of the whole DCU. Anderson also makes his case that Stewart deserves the ring. Two shorts on the same theme, one on Gardner and one on Stewart turning the ring down, follow behind.
Among similar movie and TV channels, Nerdist ranks third by subscribers. Ivan Mars and Jeremy Jahns are both running a little under their usual pace, which makes Nerdist's lift during a week with no uploads stand out.
