Lanterns Team Explains Reimagined Green Lantern Oath in Finale
The Lanterns creative team said the new oath for John Stewart came together late in the writing of the season one finale.
The creative team behind HBO's Lanterns discussed the reimagined Green Lantern oath for John Stewart in the season one finale during a press conference, according to comingsoon.net.
Showrunner Chris Mundy said the idea for the new oath came together late in the writing process while breaking the finale. The team described the approach as remixing the classic oath rather than rewriting it.
Mundy said John Stewart's journey differed from tradition because the ring did not choose him and he was interviewed and kind of raised for it. Damon Lindelof said the team felt nervous and scared about making the change.
Tom King noted that John Stewart ends the finale not a hundred percent a Green Lantern anymore because his lantern has a bit of yellow and fear in it.
