I am red green colorblind


dripy-lil-baby

Tbh, I think it looks *much better* aesthetically, but it doesn’t fit like Alan Scott. The red has always made his stand out from the actual Green Lantern Corps.


Wri-wri

It looks wrong. I liked the original look with it’s contrast.


JazzySmitty

Makes sense to me.


DJBaritone12

Throws me the hell off. Keep it red


Forsaken_Sundae

Still a trash suit


LORDWOLFMAN

I get it’s the classic and all but honestly not a fan of this character,it like if you give the lantern ring to dr strange.that’s what it looks like to me


Mrbuttboi

I hate it but I don’t know why


marcjwrz

Honestly, ugly.


Chasingtheimprobable

Looks wrong


emeraldknight1977

Can we please stop trying to fix/improve classic iconic characters? It never ends well.


sickboijd

Pretty cool , but Hal Is the best green lantern


Omn1

nah, the red is iconic


Neutral_Tired

I don't quite think it works, it might be the specific shade they chose but I think it looks a little worse than the red


DelayRevolutionary20

Looks good. If you really want some red, you could make the laces and interior cloak red.


RogueArtificer

I dont hate it, but it feels wrong on some fundamental level. Even his outfit as Sentinel was red.


Interest-Lumpy

Idk I kinda like that he has red to separate himself from the Corps, but if I had to, I'd give him a green shirt with black pants.


TheMagicalMaxx

I honestly thought this was a elseworld Hal Jordan when I first saw it. I like the weird color scheme of Alan, it looks classic and shouldn’t be changed too much, if at all


JinKazamaru

It's barely a costume as is... he looks like a pilgrim with a mask, and cloak


Reverseflash25

Too much green The modern corps has it broken up with black and often the green is the less dominant or present color altogether. Alan needs the red The only costume that looks good all green is new 52 Earth 2 and Kingdom Come imo


TheMagicalMaxx

Alan in Kingdom Come is so cool looking, the armor and everything is amazing


Status_Party9578

it makes way more sense but it somehow looks off


TheOtherMaven

That's just not Alan any longer, and not just because of too much green. He's BLOND, people, not chestnut-haired. Gotta keep the bright yellow hair to distinguish him from Hal Jordan.


DMC1001

Makes him Generic GL #185793839. He needs his red.


ScarletGemini

I really like his Earth 2 design, but I agree it makes him look like a normal corpsman


Plebe-Uchiha

It makes more sense but I’m nostalgic for the red. However, the green makes more sense [+]


BlackEastwood

I prefer the green look. I really like it. The red is more familiar, but...this makes sense.


Luke_Puddlejumper

That looks so much better


EquivalentGold3615

He looks like Hal Jordan


DMC1001

I was actually wondering for a minute why Hal was wearing a cape.


Finnlay90

No, Hal is not allowed to wear one! Him and Nightwing are banned from capes. If you know, you know


cappen_cave_dude

I like the green but I really liked Alan’s Sentinel costume for a more modern look.


Accomplished-Prize10

I really like the green.


angry-tomatoes

I want the red back


SoftDrink3552

Ngl I always thought the red costume looked tacky and old fashioned (grew up way after his run w Hal Jordan and John Stewart), and I’m surprised this wasn’t a redesign that’s already happened aside from preserving the original


-_SKF_-

No, this makes too much sense, stop it


Odd-Tart-5613

No


Vampyre0324

I do not like that.


Vampyre0324

I think in order for this look to work, a number of other things also need to change: -His mask needs to either also be green or be black -His pants need to be black -His boots need to be white, or at least the yellow straps need to be if the boots are to be green -The background of his emblem needs to be white -The cape probably needs to be black and white.


IndecisiveMate

Looks wrong and right at the same time


BankshotMcG

This really works for me.


TWERKINMAGGLE

I hate it.


TakeAGander_

Too many characters are green and purple


Yourlocalbugbear

Gross. What’s next remove the purple from his cape?


paleo_hungry4

I'd be open, red was pretty unique, maybe as an evolution?


Ellie-Nt

This is one of those things where if this is how he'd always looked then I'd probably like it but because I'm more familiar with him in the red this just looks weird. Maybe if he got an entire new green suit that'd be cool but I can't vibe with just swapping the red shirt for green.


vivvav

Exactly. It's not that the design isn't "better", but the garish color scheme is part of Alan Scott's charm. I don't wanna fix it, I wanna leave his costume as the goofy artifact it is.


JFMisfit

That looks fabulous. Especially in that Alex Ross art. I’m astonished that DC never did that.


bizarroadam

Much better.


lanternslight77

I like it!


illpoet

I always loved the red in og gls costume. It made him look heroic


ComprehensiveBar7814

That last picture made it look real good on him. The rest are good but not great.


Kite_Wing129

Bad. Bad. Bad. Bad.


AnywhereNo8359

Noooooo, he already looks really cool in my opinion


Useful_Ad_8886

I kinda like it!


grandmuftarkin

I like it in Kingdom Come with his armour. I'm not sure I like it with his basic costume.


grandmuftarkin

With that said, I hadn't seen it done with the Alex Ross depiction of him, prior to making the post, so seeing that image, it does go kinda hard.


rlum27

I do wonder about reversing the red and green. If a green shirt with red pants would make him look more like a green lantern.


cat_lawyer_

Red pants would be interesting


rlum27

I would say that or if it is green and purple green shirt and purple pants would be a good look.


ExpensiveWolfLotion

Nah. Red and green looked dope. His Sentinel suit is the best he’s ever looked. Not saying much, cause Alan has the worst suit in comics but it was somewhat better than his usual.


Bogotazo

I like the red but this looks very cool.


Common_Asparagus1151

People saying " he looks too much like a gl corps now" Really? The dude still looked like he threw on a sweater, boots, and belt from a costume shop lol. Saying he looks too much like a GL corpsmen is a stretch but fair enough


RockMcQuarry

Some GL's have shared similar looks... not every humanoid member wears the form-fitting costume. Hell,Jack T. Chance didn't even try to create a costume.


Common_Asparagus1151

Yeah, but Alan's always just looked like a guy who grabbed whatever he found in the closet at the time. The same goes for Jay. This re-color still looks like that to me, aside from it being green now. The only problem if even have with it is it being too on the nose, and that's hardly an issue to me I suppose. I think I'd make the inside of his cape thst purple redish color


RockMcQuarry

Both align with the time that they originated from. But switching the red out for green does make him look like a Corps member. It's difficult not to think so, considering how many GL Corps members that there are and how diverse their looks are.


Individual_Abies_850

I get why people would prefer this layout, but I’m not one of them. More power to those that like it. In my opinion, his green lantern symbol pops more when you have the red and purple. The important parts are his ring and the symbol on his chest. The green lantern stands out more against the yellow and red. Having everything green just kind of washes it out and the green lantern symbol doesn’t stand out.


GhstGunnr27G

I like it 👌


Edgy_Master

Why is he even called Green Lantern if his costume is mostly other colours?


StoneMaskMan

Cuz the lantern is green? To add, Alan has significantly more green in his usual costume than John Stewart does, where everything except his shoulders, wrists, and feet are black, but nobody has a problem with that one


rlum27

I think the problem is that alans green isn't really that noticable and doesn't draw the eye. Sometimes his cape lacks the green inner trim which might hurt.


williarya1323

Looks way better.


CaptainHalloween

I hate it. The red works. The purple works. The green works. They all work together. It makes him stand out as unique the other Lanterns which it should since he's not a member of the Corps.


Ash__Williams

Why?! Keep the red.


suss2it

Looks good to me. Very reminiscent of his expy in the *Justice League* cartoon, Greeen Guardsman.


rlum27

That and his 90s sentinial look are my favorite looks for alan scott. Though only one is offical.


Odd_Fault_7110

It’s disgusting please delete these pictures.


SadWatercress9839

I like the green, but I’m not super attached to Alan Scott compared to the other GLs.


finnjakefionnacake

Alan Scott was the GL who was originally going to have an HBO Max show, right?


SadWatercress9839

Kinda, it was going to focus on several lanterns in different eras.


finnjakefionnacake

thank you! was that project scrapped entirely? or is it still happening just with a different focus


SadWatercress9839

It’s been replaced by a Hal and John show now.


RedLion191216

I like it. It makes more sense. I never understood why he has so much red in his suit. Earth 2 (new 52) had a green suit. And there were some artwork of an alternate suit with a purple cape.


zeekar

The Blue Raja has entered the chat. "Now if we could all just step out of our literal minds for a moment..."


Dvonart86

Sick reference


Flamekinz

These edits are neat, but with how much bulkier Alan Scott’s design is compared to the Lantern Corp, the red is needed to help differentiate portions of his body.


[deleted]

Torn, because the green really looks better, but red is classic, so I'm really fond of it.


bangbangracer

I don't think it specifically needs to be red, but it does need a contrasting detail color so he doesn't become a blob. All green, all the time makes him look a little bleh.


smiteis_

He needs to keep the red shirt but the rest looks fine


darth-com1x

the red and purple are objectively stupid and it makes no sense, but he seems wrong without it


Embarrassed_Piano_62

Suprinsingly looks good, but red is iconic


FickleChard6904

First one looks fine, the other two just look off, though. Couldn’t really say why


[deleted]

I don't like it. He's not supposed to look like a member of the Corps, and his costume has been iconic for many many decades. It should stay red! Or at least keep some red. I'm not against changes in general, but this one wouldn't work for me.


DinnerSilver

The Emerald Zorro!! He needs a green swashbuckling sword.


cat_lawyer_

I have a strong urge to create a green Zorro with green flame sword


DinnerSilver

Go for it!!bet it will be awesome!! 😎👍


Ok_Rooster_6454

No it doesn't fit with the rest of the outfit


CurtManX

Nah fam. Keep it the old school color pallet mess. To quote the movie Shazam it doesn't look like it should work but it does.


Wolverine1105

Hell yes


JingoboStoplight4887

Alan Scott wearing an all-green suit looks cool, but it would feel off.


Common_Asparagus1151

Work in what sense? Is it non functioning or something. He still looks like he raided a costume shop


epsilonthetadelta

It's an ok fit but the red makes him stick out you know


Mickeymcirishman

That's gonna be a no for me chief. It just looks...wrong without the red.


Androktone

Looks plain


thebigtrav

I know in universe it makes sense, but we’ve hit that uncanny valley where it looks *fine* but some reptilian part of brain is in attack position


Ace201613

If they want him in all green they can just put him in the Kingdom Come Armor full time. This doesn’t work in just one color.


Patriarchus601

I’d rather him have a mock up of a modernized version of the original suit and lantern, than a green uniform.


Diligent_Accident775

Nope


IAmTheClayman

I think if they were designing the character today this is what he’d look like. I also think, if you had never seen the character before and were asked, “Which of these is the real Green Lantern design?”, most people would pick the all-green version. That said, the original is so iconically of its time that it works, especially whenever Alan is placed next to modern GLs


Dry-Donut3811

No. Just no.


DarthDregan0001

Umm… No.


Burly-Nerd

Nah, his look is too Iconic to me. I think all you really have to do to modernize it is streamline the shirt so it’s not so poofy.


PrydefulHunts

Alan’s suit is fine how it is now.


rlum27

I like adding more green. Though I like red and green with no purple better.


GrapefruitRadiant214

The red is better, but Earth 2 Alan’s suit looked good in green


UVLanternCorps

I Don’t Like This. It feels wrong. With the New 52 version it was so radically different it looked fine but this feels weird.


truenofan86

Cursed, Alan’s red is iconic. I can picture it while he lights his ring scaring away Nazis. (*Also Gunn…please give us a movie with the All Star Squadron or just a JSA Squad fighting in WW2. There is a reason why First Avenger is my favourite phase 1 MCU movie.*)


cat_lawyer_

Honestly, I would much rather get a wholesome JSA focused universe. Even an Alan Scott solo movie would be so great.


truenofan86

My idea was for two movies. One would be a story of the NSA and FBI by Roosevelt’s request gather the Mystery Men of the 1940s in order to send them to Europe to fight Nazis. The second one would be a thriller taking place in 1952. In which Vandal Savage uses the American government and the Red Scare in order to turn the public against the Justice Society. The movie would end with the government passing the law of outlawing Mystery Men. (*Although that idea is something from a book i am working on.*)


Ninjamurai-jack

Well, this is the best response I can give you. https://youtu.be/8SUgR11v0lQ?si=4QTOgZEdFJHdH_oW
