Reply to comment by subjecttomyopinion in Greg Berlanti’s ‘Green Lantern’ HBO Max Series Being Redeveloped, Loses Writer by MarvelsGrantMan136
>That's a shame. This is the one DC hero I can kind of grasp onto and would love to see something developed.
Just me, but the best GL series I've seen is already up on HBO Max: Green Lantern: The Animated Series. While it isn't technically a DCAU/Timmverse show, Timm was involved in the development, and it's the best translation of his design aesthetic to CGI I've seen. It was showrun by Giancarlo Volpe (Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Dragon Prince) and Jim Krieg (who among a gazillion animation writing credits was the ringer Supernatural hired to write the "Scoobynatural" episode).
>Was the Reynolds movie any good? I need to sit down and watch it just haven't.
It was meh. To me, GL:TAS was everything I wanted from the Green Lantern movie and never got. :)

Just me, though, Rudolph's Shiny New Year looks like a dramatic masterpiece compared to the mess that is Rudolph & Frosty's Christmas in July, even with Ethel Merman's singing. ;)
The really hard to find Rankin-Bass holiday specials are The Leprechaun's Christmas Gold and Pinocchio's Christmas (which I believe do end up on Freeform/AMC some years), and the non-Christmas ones, Mad Monster Party and The Easter Bunny is Comin' to Town (where Fred Astaire reprises his mailman role).
And the two more obscure Rankin-Bass specials I will defend to the death are probably The Story of the First Christmas Snow (Angela Lansbury!), and Nestor, The Long-Eared Donkey. :)
But aside from the Japanese stop-motion holiday specials like Rudolph, Rankin-Bass's Japanese 2D drawn animation movies of The Last Unicorn and The Hobbit were what grabbed me the hardest.

>"From the creators of Westworld"? Nope, I'm out.
But Joy and Nolan are only EPs on the show.
The creator of the show is Scott B. Smith, and his co-showrunner is Greg Plageman.

It's from Kilter Films, and Joy and Nolan are executive producers.
But the creator of the show is Scott B. Smith, and the co-showrunner is Greg Plageman (Nolan's second on POI).

As a cable subscriber, I can also see episodes 1-3 on IFC.com (and S1 and S2, but not S3) with a provider login. But they're airing on IFC a week behind streaming.

Reply to The mysterious benedict society - watched it yet ?? by Josh_Swar
It doesn't see the same level of promotion that a Star Wars or MCU show would, but it's up in the big title card on Disney+, and there have been ads running that I've seen. I love the hell out of it, but the majority-think in this sub tends to be that Disney+'s only worth is in how many MCU and Star Wars franchise shows it can pump out for them. The Disney live-action shows like Mysterious Benedict Society, Big Shot, and The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers tend to get cold-shouldered.
I will also say, as great as the show is, the books are still better. The books can carry off things they can't do in live-action, like Constance being a toddler.
If you're looking for folks talking about the show, then r/nicholasbenedict might be a better bet than here.
