Green Lantern: The Animated Series (2011–2013)

A Great Cartoon Worth Another Season

[10/10 · 16 February 2013]

Green Lantern: The Animated Series has quickly become one of my favorite television shows. I heard about it when the fan-base had just found out about the potential cancellation that it is facing, and the video clip attached persuaded me to give the show a chance. It has more than proved its worth in cartoon networks programs, and it has achieved so much in its first season alone. The plot and character development have such depth and meaning, and still manage to teach kids the moral lessons that all shows targeted towards children strive to achieve. It has taught lessons on second chances, about ignoring differences and embracing the similarities we share. Hal Jordan took Razer as a prisoner, and treated him with compassion despite the destruction and pain he causes as a member of the Red Lantern Corps. Razer grows from his pain and although he still struggles, he tries to make himself better, and has a story everyone can relate to. A story about falling down, about not getting things right the first time, or even the next time or the time after that. A story about growing up and moving forward, which is a positive them amongst all the crew and even the minor characters. This is a show that can have such a positive impact on kids, and people of all ages. The fans are struggling much like Razer, to keep their show alive for another season. For a second chance, for a show that has so much potential and such passionate viewers. For a second season that can make a difference.
