Green Lantern (2011) | comment |
A superhero film and the first live-action film adaptation of DC Comics' Green Lantern, released in June 2011.The Green Lanterns are an intergalactic peacekeeping force, whose members are given a ring that "turns thought into reality." The greatest danger to the corps is Parallax (Clancy Brown), who represents fear and the yellow energy. When respected Corps member Abin Sur (Temuera Morrison) is fatally injured, his ring leads him to Earth, and chooses a replacement: a brash test pilot named Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds).Hal is the first human chosen to be a Lantern, which earns him few friends, and he struggles with a lot of personal issues regarding what is considered to be the "fearless" Green Lantern ideal. Contrasting him, a bitter and resentful childhood friend Hector Hammond (Peter Sarsgaard) is infected with a part of Parallax, giving him unstable psychic powers and leading him to give in to his fears. As Parallax sets its sights on Earth, Hal is forced to harness the power of the ring and save his planet.The film was intended to launch the DC Comics counterpart to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (which had been launched three years earlier by Iron Man), but this was ultimately not realized due to its poor financial returns. Instead, Warner Brothers decided to retool Man of Steel into the actual launchpad for what would become the DC Extended Universe, ultimately with greater success—although the DCEU's version of the Justice League conspicuously lacked a Green Lantern in its roster, possibly due to the filmmakers wishing to avoid association with this film. An officially licensed Green Lantern television series set in the DCEU titled Green Lantern Corps was in development for several years, but it failed to materialize before Warner Brothers announced its plans to retire the DCEU brand in 2022. Now that the newly restructured Warner Bros. Discovery has announced a new series of DC Comics film adaptations helmed by James Gunn and Peter Safran, another officially licensed Green Lantern show titled Lanterns is currently in development.Greg Berlanti and Marc Guggenheim, who wrote the screenplay from this film, would go on to create the television series Arrow which would be the first series in the Arrowverse. In the 2019-2020 crossover event Crisis on Infinite Earths (2019) footage was used from this film to confirm it takes place on the post-Crisis Earth-12 in the Arrowverse multiverse, which includes the DCEU and other DC live-action properties.A Licensed Game was made for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS and Nintendo 3DS titled Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters. | |

Trailers Always Spoil: Trailers have shown Parallax draining Hector Hammond's body of energy, leaving behind a crispy corpse. In one of the clips released before the film, some fans recognized a Chekhov's Gun when Kilowog explained to Hal the dangers of flying in space, including the gravity of the Sun. In the trailers, Hal appears in front of the Sun. | |

Earth Is the Center of the Universe | |
Green Lantern (2011) / int_18e33968 | comment |
Earth Is the Center of the Universe: Thoroughly averted (Oa is), as it was treated as pure coincidence that Abin Sur crashed on Earth and Hal is chosen as the next Green Lantern. Parallax taking an interest in Earth is also directly connected to a fragment of Parallax (from Sur's body) infecting Hammond and attracting the Eldritch Abomination. | |

How Do I Shot Web? | |
Green Lantern (2011) / int_21fd09a7 | comment |
How Do I Shot Web?: Hal initially has trouble figuring out how to activate the power ring. After Hal puts the ring in the lantern he finds out this trope is defied. Providing a 'knowledge base' is part of the ring's higher functions. Hal has basic control instantly. He can suddenly recite the Green Lantern Oath perfectly, and knows other information of which he would have no knowledge otherwise. | |

Green Lantern (2011) / int_2260cfe3 | comment |
Like Father, Like Son: Hal's father was a test pilot; Hal becomes a test pilot. This is actually one of the psychological hang-ups that Hector has with his dad. Hector is a mild-mannered bookworm who doesn't aspire to much despite his intelligence while he is drafted into a government project because of his dad's connections, implying that Senator Hammond wanted Hector to at least come somewhere close to his own field. | |

Green Lantern (2011) / int_22cf536c | comment |
An early scene has Hal's attending his nephew's birthday and talking with his extended-extended family for a time. While it builds a bit of Hal's character (and subtly sets up a Chekhov's Gun) they don't show up again. As evidenced by the DVD/Blu Ray release, more scenes were shot with them, as one Deleted Scene features Hal flying in to save his nephew from Parallax. | |

Mythology Gag | |
Green Lantern (2011) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: Carol's callsign is "Sapphire" and she's got an eight-pointed star (the Star Sapphire symbol) on the side of her helmet. Probably also counts as Foreshadowing. An an article about her possibly becoming head of Ferris Aircraft has the headline "Rising Star." In a bit of a Stealth Pun in the same vein as the above, among Hector's newspaper clippings of Carol is... a Pokémon Sapphire Version cartridge. Ferris Aircraft's big project is testing out the effectiveness of A.I. fighter jets, which Hal ruins by outmaneuvering and destroying the jets, despite being told they react faster and better than human pilots. In the comics, Hal continually performs the same song-and-dance against the Manhunter robots. The beautiful fractal that Tomar-Re generates for Hal while training him to focus his will to use the ring is a 3D representation of the Mobius strip the Green Lanterns use as a form of greeting in the Silver Age comics. When the yellow ring is forged, Sinestro tells the guardians that after he's mastered how to use it, they can make more, and he'll teach recruits in using them, effectively creating an entirely new Corps under his command, using yellow rings. Not to mention The Stinger showing Sinestro putting on the ring and triggering a literal Evil Costume Switch. | |

Analogy Backfire: A more dramatic version, as Hal tries to comfort Carol when he was about to confront Parallax by comparing it to his dogfight at the beginning of the film. She replies incredulously, "Those were a couple of jets..." and Hal's subsequent pushing of the analogy that the jets were also "unbeatable" doesn't seem to help much. | |

Foregone Conclusion | |
Green Lantern (2011) / int_3bc88a7f | comment |
Foregone Conclusion: Sinestro puts on the yellow ring. This looked like it might actually be averted, despite the fact that every adaptation of Green Lantern has Sinestro make a Face–Heel Turn and gain a yellow power ring. After Hal beats Parallax, Sinestro leads the group that saves him from burning up in the sun and gives a speech indicating he's come to respect Hal and see him as a worthy successor to his friend Abin Sur. Then he retrieves the yellow ring and puts it on anyway. Sinestro's eyes appear quite yellow when dueling with Hal. | |

Curb-Stomp Battle | |
Green Lantern (2011) / int_3d699462 | comment |
Curb-Stomp Battle: In their training fight, Hal pulls off a couple good moves, but ultimately is absolutely no match for the far more skilled and experienced Sinestro. Kilowog also beats Hal's ass quite a few times, but after a poor choice of both actions (putting Hal on his back and then looming over him) and words ("Your enemy isn't going to play fair"), Hal returns the favor by forming a big heavy boot with his lantern powers and sending it into Kilowog's nads, then while he's doubled-over, Hal slips between his legs, uses his powers again to get a metal collar around Kilowog's neck, then pulls the chain accompanying said collar hard enough to send Kilowog into a full 360-degree front-flip that lands the big guy flat on his face. | |

Green Lantern (2011) / int_420c50b7 | comment |
Ferris Aircraft's big project is testing out the effectiveness of A.I. fighter jets, which Hal ruins by outmaneuvering and destroying the jets, despite being told they react faster and better than human pilots. In the comics, Hal continually performs the same song-and-dance against the Manhunter robots. | |

Credits Gag | |
Green Lantern (2011) / int_4af55b78 | comment |
Credits Gag: the closing credits takes place in a montage of seven quasars, each quasar a specific color of the rainbow. This is based on the emotional electromagnetic spectrum, a Green Lantern theorem that states each color is based on a specific emotion. Both the credits of Ryan Reynolds (Hal Jordan) and Mark Strong (Sinestro) glow with both green and yellow light; Jordan and Sinestro were Green and Yellow Lanterns in the comics. Blake Lively (Carol Ferris)'s credit glows with a violet aura; in the comics Ferris was a Star Sapphire, who wielded the violet power of love. Peter Sarsgaard (Hector Hammond)'s credit glows with an orange aura; in the comics Hammond was possessed by Ophidian, an entity formed from the orange power of avarice. Temuera Morrison (Abin Sur)'s credit glows with an indigo aura; in the comics Abin Sur was the founder of the Indigo Tribe, a corps which wields the indigo power of compassion. | |

Check, Please!: During one of his classes, Hector Hammond starts to have an emotional breakdown as the infection from Parallax takes its toll on his body and mind. After using telekinesis to attack a student who was thinking insulting thoughts about him, the students panic while Hammond acts as if nothing strange has happened. He then deadpans, "Class dismissed." | |

Live-Action Adaptation: The film is a loose adaptation of the "Secret Origin" arc of Geoff Johns' run, particularly in that the film focuses on Hal Jordan's beginning as a Green Lantern Corpsman and his first encounter with his enemy Hector Hammond. A reissue of the "Secret Origin" trade paperback was even published with a cover depicting this continuity's Hal Jordan as a tie-in. | |

The Dragon: Hammond to Parallax. Something of an unusual example in that Parallax never meant to recruit Hammond and didn't seem to even know of him until near the end of the movie, when Hal links to Parallax psychically through Hammond. As well Hammond is clearly inferior in power to Parallax and other than bringing him to Earth Hammond didn't seem to be actively working for him. | |

Green Lantern (2011) / int_557838d1 | comment |
Adaptational Attractiveness: Amanda Waller, who in the comic books is an obese, stubbornly middle-aged woman and not a very nice one, is played by Angela Bassett. To the movie's credit, she is depicted as a respectable government agent and downplays Bassett's model-looks. Also, the movie came out shortly before the launch of the New 52 line, in which Waller also got adaptationally attractive. | |

Green Lantern (2011) / int_57b80b45 | comment |
Fantastic Racism: Of a sort. Most members of the Corps are really disdainful of humanity, but it seems to be because they feel humans are immature and need some time to grow rather than believing humans are inherently inferior. Still, they treat Hal with much disrespect without even giving him a chance to show that he's different (which he isn't, but to be fair, they had no way of knowing that— they just assumed so based on his species). | |

Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Sinestro. More than one article about the movie has noted that with a name like that, he's obviously not going to stay a good guy. And that is without knowing the comics. Strangely, he's actually nicer than his comics counterpart, who was an arrogant control freak even before he left the Corps and put on the yellow ring. | |

Non-Uniform Uniform: All the Green Lantern's have a similar look to their uniforms, but they all have slight variations. In the case on Tomar Re, his suit has a sort of fish-scale texture to it. Sinestro has a more militaristic appearance while Hal's has a pattern resembling human muscle tissue. It is hinted at least twice that this is because the "uniform" consists of the ring giving you transparent green skin; the texture looks different based on your skin and muscle textures. | |

ColorCodedForYourConvenience | |
Green Lantern (2011) / int_740f59b4 | comment |
Color-Coded for Your Convenience: Played with, if only subtly. Green is known as the color for "Go" (such as with streetlights, devices that use a green button for "YES" or other confirmation, etc.), which represents the Lanterns' lack of fear and their willingness to push forward against even the greatest of threats. As mentioned in the "Establishing Character Moment" entry below, Hal Jordan exhibits this quality in spades, often rushing into things without much thought. In the film, the color green is said to represent will, which is the strongest force in the universe. Meanwhile, the color yellow, associated in the film with those who use the power of fear (most, if not all of whom are the antithesis of what the Green Lantern Corps represents), is known as the color of cowardice in the Western world (this is referenced as well in Injustice: Gods Among Us). | |

The Unfavorite: Hector seems to resent Hal for generally being more successful than him, and it presents itself as his father greets Hal with more warmth and praise than ever given to him. The Extended Cut shows that Hector's relationship with his father was like this as a child. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero! | |
Green Lantern (2011) / int_7fbb2a3 | comment |
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: How Hal treats Hector back when Hector's redemption was still possible. Thanks to Hal going out of his way to shoot down the A.I. fighter jets, Ferris Aircraft looks like it'll lose the government contract they were looking to get with the display and a lot of people are going to lose their jobs. Thankfully, Carol's able to turn it around; she pointed out that Hal broke the rules to do so and the engineers were able to fix the jets' flaw. Of course, Hal pointed out the same thing immediately after the simulation exercise, but didn't get any credit. Military's fault for letting one company both produce and define the perimeters of the test run. Hal actually helped everyone avoid what would've been a catastrophic weakness. | |

Establishing Character Moment | |
Green Lantern (2011) / int_7febc23b | comment |
Establishing Character Moment: Hal is first seen late to work, jumping out of bed with a woman in it, rushing to a test flight against two advanced AI fighters, which he defeats by some unorthodox strategy (he lets his partner "die" in the simulated dogfight, and then flies to an altitude at which the jet cannot function, causing the brand-new F-35 to crash and burn). Throughout the film he is shown rushing into a situation with no hesitation, which leaves his life rather chaotic and unorganized but the instant he saw an injured Abin Sur he takes off like a bullet to help with the same fearlessness. Notably this holds true in the extended cut, where a 10 year old Hal is shown rushing towards his father's downed jet while everyone else is running to safety. Then his father's jet explodes, stopping young Hal in his tracks, and presumably killing his dad instantly. Hal struggles to get past the trauma of that moment throughout the film, but his tendency to rush into situations remains. | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
Green Lantern (2011) / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: Remember those three guys Hal injured (and possibly killed if you consider the guy who got smashed through a brick wall) in the parking lot? He sure doesn't. An early scene has Hal's attending his nephew's birthday and talking with his extended-extended family for a time. While it builds a bit of Hal's character (and subtly sets up a Chekhov's Gun) they don't show up again. As evidenced by the DVD/Blu Ray release, more scenes were shot with them, as one Deleted Scene features Hal flying in to save his nephew from Parallax. | |

Jerk Jock: Hal is an insensitive bully several times to Hector Hammond, and only seems to recognize this in himself after his brief training montage by Kilowog and Sinestro. However, he never tries to help the Parallax-mind-controlled Hector Hammond Many viewers objected to how Hal's treatment of Hector parallels real world bullying. | |

Eldritch Abomination | |
Green Lantern (2011) / int_8774fb47 | comment |
Hector Hammond is this to a lesser extent. Gaining his powers from the above Eldritch Abomination, Hammond has the powers of Mind over Matter, Telepathy (and its subtrope Touch Telepathy), and has "Well Done, Son" Guy issues as well as a disturbing obsesson with Carol. Before his run-in with Abin Sur's body (which contained a small portion of Parallax) he was a disrespected biology professor. As his powers grow, so does his cranium, and by the end of the movie he can't even produce enough body strength to prop himself up, requiring the use of a wheelchair and Hal's ring, temporary as it was. | |

Evil Mentor: Sinestro actually averts this, believe it or not. His "The Reason You Suck" Speech directed at Hal (i.e. the mentoring, as well as his bullying Jordan during their training) was motivated by disappointment in ring's choice rather than malice and he was otherwise helpful in informing him of the dangers of fear. He never performs a single evil act the whole movie (unless one counts putting on the yellow ring) and even congratulates Hal at the end. If there had been a sequel, however, he would've inevitably became the Big Bad. | |

Green Lantern (2011) / int_9b54d536 | comment |
Evil Counterpart: The film heavily parallels Hal becoming a Green Lantern with Hammond being empowered by Parallax. Both Hal and Hammond are part of the same social circle and have several very similar psychological hangups, including daddy issues and chronic underachieving. This is quite a contrast to the comics, where the Hammond character was a fairly minor villain with no personal or thematic connection to Hal. | |

Red Shirt: The three aliens at the beginning who open the lid on Parallax's can; and the squad of Lanterns that Sinestro later leads in an ill-fated attempt to stop Parallax from taking any more worlds. Did you really think anything good was going to happen to them? Sinestro leads an elite squad to confront Parallax and assess the power of their adversary. At least four of them die rather swiftly and none of them appear to be a comic-established Lantern (unlike some in the big crowd scene during Sinestro's speech to the Corp). Sinestro is the only one we see return from the encounter. | |

His name, pointy ears (without being an elf), evil moustache, abrasive and brutally honest demeanor, perpetually downward-slanted eyebrows (he ALWAYS looks pissed) and most importantly, (sometimes) yellow eyes, all scream "Bad guy" with a giant neon sign pointing right at him.

Green Lantern (2011) / int_c181a846 | comment |
Dies Differently in Adaptation: While still dying from mortal injuries inflicted upon him by an assailant as the comics had established at the time, the one responsible for mortally wounding Abin Sur in this film is neither Legion (who was responsible in the Emerald Dawn miniseries) nor Atrocitus (who was established to have done the deed in the "Secret Origin" arc of the Geoff Johns run), but Parallax. | |

I Believe I Can Fly | |
Green Lantern (2011) / int_c675d11c | comment |
I Believe I Can Fly: Double subverted. During his briefing as a new Green Lantern, Hal's "tour guide," a Xudarian named Tomar-Re, casually invites him to fly, as if it's a power that all Green Lanterns ostensibly have. Hal, being a fighter pilot, confidently muses "I can do that." ... before dropping like a rock from the ledge he's standing on. After a short Beat, however, he shoots back up into frame, imbued with the power of the ring, flying with very vocal excitement. | |

Shout-Out | |
Green Lantern (2011) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: While trying to figure out the oath, Hal mentions "To infinity and beyond!" as well as "By the power of Greyskull!" as he gets more frustrated not knowing how to use it. A copy of Pokemon Sapphire can be seen briefly within Hector's room as he slowly gains his psychic powers. When Hal goes all Gatling Good during training, Sinestro summons up a familiar-looking round shield to deflect the bullets - then throws it at Hal. The placement of green and black on Kilowog's suit (black "pants" with green everywhere else) make him look like the Hulk. The radio transmissions of an Imperial Probe Droid are heard early in the movie. Parallax's defeat is identical to that of Jubileus in Bayonetta, minus Parallax's soul flying out. | |

Heroic Resolve: Parallax makes the mistake of Evil Gloating when it thinks it has Hal on the ropes. Hearing it tell him it's going to destroy all he cares about along with Jordan reciting the Green Lantern Oath to himself is what gives Hal the true resolve to continue the fight and defeat Parallax alone. | |

The Corruption | |
Green Lantern (2011) / int_cf168867 | comment |
The Corruption: Touching any little bit of Parallax gives you Psychic Powers and a Psychic Link to him, along with, er, turning you evil. Although Hammond is the only one this happens to, he threatens to do it to Carol. This is also how Parallax was "born." He/it is a former Guardian who explored the potential use of yellow fear energy— he was infected by it and became the monster Parallax, feeding on the fear of others. | |

Green Lantern (2011) / int_e0207930 | comment |
Humans Are Special: The official synopsis and the movie itself state that Hal's special as a Lantern since unlike all other Lanterns, he possesses humanity. The film posits that humanity's special trait is the ability to recognize one's own flaws and weaknesses, as exemplified by the phrase "I'm only human." In contrast, Hal accuses the Guardians of being "afraid to admit [they're] afraid." | |

Marquee Alter Ego: Lampshaded by Carol, but also cleverly played with in such a way that it has an in-story justification. The mask is an extension of the ring's will-generated constructs, which means it appears only when the wearer feels the need to protect his identity and is not present otherwise, which means we also see Sinestro, Tomar-Re, and Kilowog without their masks. | |

Composite Character | |
Green Lantern (2011) / int_e4965307 | comment |
Composite Character: Parallax. It has the same basic characteristics as the Fear Demon of the comics but it has its origin taken from other foes: The Guardian that was possessed is identified as being Krona in various supporting material for the film, his role as Abin Sur's archenemy and Death by Origin Story is taken from Legion and/or Atrocitus; whilst the idea of a Guardian being possessed by Parallax was used with Ganthet in Green Lantern: Rebirth. He may also have parts of Appa Ali Apsa, a well-intentioned Guardian who ended up insane. Hal Jordan himself has a few elements borrowed from fellow Lantern Kyle Rayner in this film. In the comics, Hal was much closer to the Green Lantern ideal, being 'a man without fear'. Like Kyle, though, the film's version of Hal finds that knowing fear and being able to overcome it is what gives him the strength to face Parallax. Though it is Hal in the comics that figures out how to turn that to their advantage. Kyle knowing fear was able to identify the threat but stayed on the run until meeting the other Lanterns who were fearless. Hector Hammond is a merging of various comics versions of the character but his powers and deformity is tied in with being corrupted by Parallax and having a few related powers. | |

Artistic License – Space: Tomar-Re claims that a sector is a thousand times larger than the stars you can see from Earth on the clearest night, which numbers around 5000 maximum. Given 3600 sectors, that adds up to 1.8 billion stars. The Milky Way alone consists of 400 billion stars. However, it could be justified by the fact that a vast majority of stars are not in the habitable zone of a galaxy. Of course, he could have been speaking metaphorically. | |

Adaptation Origin Connection | |
Green Lantern (2011) / int_e8dca77c | comment |
Adaptation Origin Connection: The fear entity Parallax is indirectly responsible for Hal Jordan becoming a Green Lantern in this continuity, as Parallax is the one responsible for Abin Sur dying and having to recruit a successor. In the comics, Parallax's only connection to Hal Jordan was possessing him during his Face–Heel Turn in the Emerald Twilight saga and Abin Sur's killer was either Legion (according to the Emerald Dawn miniseries) or Atrocitus (according to the "Secret Origin" arc in Geoff Johns' run of the Green Lantern comic). | |

Green Lantern (2011) / int_f8e010ce | comment |
Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: The biggest reason for Parallax's downfall is because he was incapable of understanding what true courage is: He thought it meant the absolute absence of fear, it really meant not giving in to fear. Made especially apparent when Hal Jordan, despite having fear in him, managed to defeat Parallax and not allowing him to feed on his internal fear. | |

Drives Like Crazy | |
Green Lantern (2011) / int_f96f188c | comment |
Drives Like Crazy: Hal was late to the test flight and was also trying to wrap a package, leaving him to almost hit an oncoming car in the other lane. Hal swerves back into place with the horns blaring from the other cars, muttering "Asshole." | |

Car Cushion | |
Green Lantern (2011) / int_fb933192 | comment |
Car Cushion: An extended one happens during the battle against Parallax. Though it's not a vertical fall, Hal being thrown back into the side of a truck, flying out as it turns over and crashing into an SUV, then finally stopping against another parked car, definitely qualifies as an example. | |

Driven to Villainy: Hammond. All his acts of villainy would never had happened if it wasn't for Parallax infecting him & giving him the means to lash out at the world. | |

Alternate Self | |
Green Lantern (2011) / int_fceae121 | comment |
Alternate Self: Given that footage was used in Crisis on Infinite Earths (2019) and this film takes place on the post-Crisis Earth-12 in the Arrowverse multiverse, Amanda Waller has counterparts on Earth-Prime, Earth-167 and an undesignated Earth. Abin Sur also resembles a human named Thomas Curry and Thomas Kalmaku looks just like the first Ratcatcher, both characters existing on an undesignated Earth. The Corps and Kilowog are also shown to exist in this universe. Hal, the Guardians and the rest of the Corps also all exist on Earth-167, though Hal, the Guardians and Tomar-Re are deceased. Finally Hal has two more counterparts on Earth-66 and Earth-N52, and the Green Lantern identity is used by individuals on Eath-D and the post-Crisis Earth-2. Also, Hal's nephew Jason is having a "Superman-themed" birthday part. Since it is established in dialogue that Abin Sur is the first alien that Earth has met, this implies that Superman on Earth-12 is a fictional character. As revealed by the Crisis on Infinite Earths Giant tie-in comic Sinestro, Kilowog, Tomar-Re and the Corps also existed in the pre-Crisis version of Earth-12. | |
