/co/ grossly overestimates the quality of this show

It's genuinely the worst show Timm ever made and the Razor/Aya relationship was a bizarre combination of pedo-robo-necrophilia. Hal literally had no personality either.

Meh.

>I know the toys were not getting bought enough
There were no toys, that's the problem. The Green Lantern movie crashed and the toys for the movies didin't sell. That caused retailers not to want Green Lantern toys. Without toys to sell, the people who funded the show didn't have a reason to fund it anymore.

To be fair the articulation on these looks like garbage.

Hopefully one day we get stuff like the DCC Timm/BTAS line

It's not just the show's own merchandise that has to sell.

The show's merchandise makes money for the studio (the people who make the show). This is in addition to the money they got paid to make the show - which covers their wages etc.

So if a show sells a lot of its own merchandise, it's making a lot of money for the studio and the studio will want to continue making it. They may even offer a portion of this money to the broadcaster in order to sweeten the deal.

The broadcaster has to pay the studio for the show to be made. They raise money through advertising. The amount of money they can raise is variable and depends on the type of audience the show is aimed at (because some audiences have access to more spending money than others, and some have access but will only spend on certain kinds of thing) and the actual number of viewers it receives. Because some low-audience shows have audiences who spend a lot on what they see in the ad breaks, they stay on the air. This is easier with shows that aren't about robo-pedo-necrophilia, because shows that aren't about that are more accessible to a wider audience. Another kind of low-audience show that sticks is a repeat, because those are relatively cheap to buy broadcast rights for, and have a proven audience (though usually a very small one).

When a show fails the broadcaster, they stop buying it, so it stops getting made (unless it has a successful merchandise line to support new episodes, or existing unsold episodes that they can shop around to other broadcasters). The broadcaster commissions a different show based on what their audience research is telling them people want in that timeslot.

It's the same toy designs as a lot of the Timmverse toys. And considering the GLTAS designs are inspired by Timmverse designs, it makes sense.

It literally had the worst timeslot too. As much as I used to love Saturday morning cartoons, it made no sense for an action show like this to be on that early, one day a week, with no repeats.

To no ones surprise, it was Spongebob.

>why was this Cancelled for shitty Teen Titan's go

It wasn't canceled so TTGO could live. Just because another show existed doesn't mean it killed the previous show.

>>84085965
Yea, the YJ had the same problem. Looked like shit

>>84085763
>Hal literally had no personality either.

Hal is the most boring GL there is. It's why every film, show, DTV fails in sales.

That reminds me, I need to buy the dvd/blurays of the show so my nephew can watch them when he's older.

He's got ducktales, talespin, and Darkwing duck for now, but that's not enough

Also the cgi animation was not my cup of tea but it was ok.the Cgi on star wars rebels Bugs me especially when they showed wookies the looked to smooth & shiny as Mr Horse would say "No sir I don't like it"

>>84086501
Has Rebels gotten better?
I gave the first season a shot but still hated it by the time Ahsoka showed up
Does she manage to somehow redeem and carry the show?

Also stop blaming TTGO, its success has nothing to do with GL's failure.

Also, where's default Black Arachnia? She was a maximal too... eventually

>>84085763
I wouldn't say it's that bad, but yeah, I got fed up with the Aya/Razer shit.

The worst part about the cancellation is that it was finally getting into the cool parts of GL lore (Sinestro Corps, Blackest Night, John, Alan, and Kyle), and now none of that will happen.

>>84086228
CN literally offed the whole block, including the shorts, save for TTG.

One way or another, it was their way of saying they want nothing more to do with DC properties.

>>84085699
It was cancelled because Green Lantern, merchandise-wise, was a toxic IP thanks to the movie. Nobody wanted toys for the show because nobody wanted toys for the movie. "Those didn't sell, so why would people want MORE Green Lantern toys?" was the thinking.

The show was doomed before it had even aired.

>>84086931
that would actually be John Stewart.

I will always miss this show. There was so much left to explore.

Love the female designs in the show

Children liked TTG! and didn't like this

deal with it

>>84085965
Mattel can't make toys to save their lives.

>>84094638

>>84094650
...except GL and YJ had stellar ratings

Plus any person that willingly watches TTG should be sent to the gas chambers

You're mistaken, this was canceled for shitty Beware the Batman

There's also a complicated relationship between CN, DC and Time/Warner in regards how profits from commercials and licensed toy/merch sales are distributed.

From what I gathered from interviews CN doesn't profit a lot from DC based shows because DC gets more sweet merch money from toys 'n stuff than CN.

Warner gets money from everything both sub-companies do so they want to utilize both assets in synergy.
Once it's decided and produced CN HAS to air a DC property based show.

I understood it that way that a CN inhouse property like Ben10 prints WAY more money for CN through licensing of toys, merch, games etc. whereas a DC based property is far less profitable for the CN people.

So maybe CN uses it's wriggle room in scheduling to relegate DC based shows to unimportant slots so they don't siphon away profits of CN inhouse shows.

They still have to advertise and promote or Warner will get pissed, but in case of Green Lantern it makes sense because there's no beneficent synergy when the movie was a flop.

wrong

both were losing out to Spongebob reruns

Regular show and AT were beating out everything then

no idea how it is now

>>84085699
lame the Execs who cast Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan and cobbled together an awful script. I dunno how you manage to fuck up GL, especially when everything that wasn't Hank Henshaw/Paralax was actually pretty decent.

so anyways that movie bombs and the market is already flooded with green lantern toys that won't sell because no one, not children, not collectors, likes that movie.

enter GLTAS which is pretty good but is meant to push toys.

toys that bluntly can't exist because Warner Brothers and DC already shit the bed.

why they didn't transition into T-shirts or something I dunno Show could've moved cereal, toothpaste and so on I think.
