The green lantern is probably the best superhero that named after a piece of camping equipment.

Of course, I'm kidding, but I think even the most sincere fans of the character will have to admit that the green lantern is a surreal concept. The character belongs to the high -power space police corps, which said about the cosmos under the power of magical rings that shine with the green light. Green, it seems, is a physical manifestation of will, and the green lantern corpus has just experienced, allowing them to use their rings as a weapon. The rings allow them to manifest any object they can imagine, at least temporarily, built of green light. There is also more oeube, but detailing every last part of the Green Lantern mythology will make us stab our computer monitors in frustration.

However, the Green Lantern, in all its repetitions, has remained a permanent part of DC Comics Lore since its modern establishment in 1959. He is usually a big part of the superhero team, even if he is behind Superman, a miracle of a woman, Batman, Cyborg and Blic on the list of justice.

It seems that a comical film about the green lantern can be appropriate, as the real -life version of the character will probably have to constantly explain its powers to people. It is strange and confusing, and someone can be able to - if we allow our superheroes to be treated with little irreversibility - they paint an eternally frustrated, something buffon version of the character. Fans of "Purist Green Lantern" would hate it, but maybe the mass audience would answer?

That, at least, was the hope of Robert Smigel and Jackack Black, who in 2006, wrote a draft for a "Green Lantern" comedy for Bors Warner, filled with satire and incredible disrespect to the character. /The film has covered that script a few years backBased on Interview for 2011 with Vanity Fair. Fans, it seems (According to a gake day), finally put the film on the film, thinking that it is not respected enough.

The premise of Smigel's film was that no skills were required to be a green lantern. The ring, from the Green Lantern, only needs to "choose" you (based on an inexpressible sense of dignity), and you suddenly have the power of (green) God. Jackack Black was supposed to play a talent real -life TV Starvala named Judud - a type that eats strange camera things - which the ring mistakenly identifies as noble. There seems to have been a malfunction in the computer belonging to Abin Sur, an alien who had previously carried the ring. The ring will magically land on the finger of Judud just as it ate an unchanged coyote.

Then Judud would be forced to join the green lantern corpus, reluctantly becoming a fighter for peace and justice. Smigel noted that while Jackack Black had to play a comedy version of the character, the most sincere, gradual presentation of Green Lantern world would remain intact. Mythology will pass unchanged. Indeed, Smigel aimed to adjust the story "Emerald Zora" published by DC Comics in 1989 and 1990. Only with a guy who eats coyote. Also with dolls and music numbers. And a hero wearing a pack of Gianni. And scenes where villains are trapped in giant green condoms. All those things were in his scenario.

Smigel recalled in the Vanity Fair interview that the early draft of his scenario went out online and fans were angry. Internet forums It broke out with complaints, most of them use a very, very colorful language. The studio heads to Bors Warner immediately caught the wind of objections and suddenly were less susceptible to making a version of a "green lantern" comedy.

Warner Bros. broke the film Smigel/Black, choosing to make a "serious" version of the character instead. The Green Lantern starred in Ryan Reynolds in 2011.

Maybe the comedy version would have been better.

Those who saw Martin Campbell's "Green Lantern" in 2011 can tell you that the Smigel version may have been a superior option at the end. "Green Lantern" was widespread from critics and revived fans for Its stupid script and bad walking. Many did not like the "Green Lantern" costume built by CGI. The $ 200 million film made only $ 237 in the box office, Making a huge bomb for the studio. Ryan Reynolds would make fun of the "Green Lantern" in his film "Deadpool" in 2016, saying that Deadpool's superhero suit should not be green ... or animated. At Deadpool 2, the title of title traveled back in time and killed the real world Ryan Reynolds before having a chance to act in the "Green Lantern". The film was a literal line.

Green Lantern performed in "Justice League" and appeared here and there in animated projects (such as "Lego Movie"), but the film in 2011 pretty much killed every mainstream interest that Warner Brosor might have in the character. Would the Jackec Black version be better? It's hard to say. It will certainly open up the character who loved many DC Comics fans, but it might not have been bad. If the "green lantern" was funny, then it may be very forgiven. Of course, Smigel understood the problems with his approach. He said in Vanity Fair:

"I mean, if I was a fanbier of Dihard's green lantern, I would have been waiting for many years - watching all these other superhero films like Daredeville to turn - and I would be very frustrated when I hear that it would finally be done as a comedy. joke. "

But if he worked, we might live in a world of widespread superhero comedies. It's a universe that I have an imagination to paint.
