Unpopular $200M Project Soars on Streaming, Despite Initial Disdain

The current predicament faced by The Flash has drawn numerous comparisons to the troubled history of Green Lantern. Like its predecessor, which also endured a tumultuous $200 million production process and faced heavy criticism for lackluster CGI, The Flash could be heading down a similarly disappointing path.

The similarities between the two films are evident. One can’t help but wonder if the team behind The Flash will choose to continually demean and disparage their own work, just as those involved with Green Lantern have done over the past decade.

The lead actor of Green Lantern, Ryan Reynolds, famously expressed his disappointment with the film. However, upon rewatching it, he admitted that it may not have been as terrible as he initially remembered. Co-star Taika Waititi chose to distance himself from the project, and director Martin Campbell even confessed that it was a failure.

Ironically, while The Flash struggles to gain momentum at the box office, Green Lantern has seized the opportunity to make a resurgence on streaming platforms. According to FlixPatrol, this critical and commercial disaster has reappeared on the watch-list of Prime Video worldwide. Apparently, even superhero flops are deemed worthy of revisiting on the small screen.
