Things we can learn from the video

Press to jump

  1. 0:15The parody contrasts Green Lantern's comedic screen history with Lanterns' grim, grounded tone.
  2. 0:54Rural Nebraska replaces outer space, with the out-of-sequence mystery compared to Damon Lindelof's Watchmen.
  3. 1:39Hal Jordan and John Stewart introduce jokes about the Lantern rings' mechanics and limitations.
  4. 3:26Hal's impending retirement sits alongside the threat of a Manhunter invasion.
  5. 5:00Repeated jurisdiction disputes become the punchline: space police and local police keep debating authority.
  6. 6:48The mock cast credits rename characters and crew, including "Chandler Ring" and "Hue Detective."

"It's also space cops arguing with local cops over jurisdiction." Jon Bailey's narration neatly sums up the complaint at the heart of Screen Junkies' new Lanterns parody: all that intergalactic potential, and so much local paperwork.

"Honest Trailers | Lanterns" has drawn roughly 360,000 views in its first eleven hours, an unusually fast start for the channel's regular videos. This is a satirical review of the HBO DC series, not a trailer for a new installment.

The episode takes aim at a superhero show that trades outer space for rural Nebraska and a murder mystery told out of sequence. Kyle Chandler's veteran Hal Jordan and Aaron Pierre's recruit John Stewart get the familiar Honest Trailers treatment, with jokes about the rings' limitations, Hal's reluctance to retire and the recurring question of whose jurisdiction any of this falls under.

Bailey, credited as the "Epic Voice Guy," supplies the grand trailer delivery while writers Spencer Gilbert and Lon Harris keep bringing the cosmic premise back down to earth. The mock cast credits finish the argument with "Chandler Ring" and "Hue Detective."

Viewers are picking up on that detective-show wordplay, a grammar joke involving fellow Green Lantern Mogo, and an edit featuring Dave Chappelle. Others bring up the animated Green Lantern and Justice League shows as examples of a different approach to these characters. The conversation extends beyond this series to how much room a Green Lantern story should leave for wonder.

What viewers say

  • Hue Detective is absurdly clever.

  • Me and Mogo watched this right here. Mogo and I
    @CalamitySerperiorSee it on YouTube
  • Green Lantern hasn't always been a joke. The animated Green Lantern show was pretty great. And the animated Justice League contributed a lot to making John Stewart popular.
