DC Legend Grant Morrison Criticizes 'Morally and Legally Incoherent' Lanterns Finale
DC veteran Grant Morrison reviewed Lanterns, and they had more than a few criticisms of its "morally and legally incoherent" finale.
Grant Morrison, a veteran DC Comics writer, has taken to his Xanaduum Substack to critique the morally and legally incoherent finale of the Green Lantern TV series, Lanterns. Morrison, known for his work on The Green Lantern, Doom Patrol, and other projects, expressed his thoughts in a recent post. He acknowledged that the show managed to mostly pull off its story inspired by True Detective, largely due to the chemistry and charisma of its two leads, John Stewart portrayed by Aaron Pierre and Hal Jordan played by Kyle Chandler.
However, Morrison was not pleased with the finale's ending, particularly the revelation that Sheriff Kerry, played by Kelly Macdonald, murdered Hal Jordan. Morrison found it hard to accept that no one reacted strongly to this act, questioning the logic of the intergalactic law enforcement agency, the Green Lantern Corps. He also criticized the show for allowing an accused killer to walk free, which he felt undermined the basic premise of the franchise.
Despite these criticisms, Morrison maintained that the show had two strong leads who carried it, and he expressed uncertainty about the prospects of a second season without them. Morrison also mentioned his upcoming project with IDW Publishing, a new James Bond series, hinting at his continued creative endeavors beyond the DC Universe.
