I dont get how the recent retcon of the classic GL to make him gay now, is somehow relevant to the discussion. I mean, that was one of the dumbest, mosty pandering woke retcons of any woke retcon in recent history.
for the 1st couple of years after the show's announcement, him being guy was in every article
=
anyway, really didn't care about this show when announced, but was looking around, apparently this was the leaked casting breakdowns
“
Guy Gardner: White Male, 30’s. A hulking mass of masculinity, as rendered in the comics. Guy is a personification of the hyper-patriotism found in the 1980’s that birthed Hulk Hogan and Rambo. However, Guy is still likable. He might act foolish, but he is not a fool. Guy loves his daughter and wife with all of his hard-partying, fast driving, hot tempered heart. But like many alpha males, there is a deep undercurrent of pain driving it all.”
“
Alan Scott: White Male, 28 years old. From the outside, Alan is the model of early 1940’s. The image of a G-Man. Alan is handsome, clean-shaven and well dressed without a hair out of place. He has spent his young life trying to personify truth, justice, and the American Way. He is already a household name in L.A. and is seen as hero thanks to positive press coverage. However, for all of Alan’s honesty, there is one huge lie that follows him. He is a gay man. A fact that, in his era, could cost him his job, or even his life.”
Jessica Cruz: Protecting the galaxy is hard enough. It’s even tougher when you’re the type of person who’s uncomfortable leaving the apartment. Life forced Jessica to become self-reliant at a young age. She worked her way through school, while taking care of her younger sister. She’s bright. Determined. Looking at her you’d never know the struggle going on inside. Jessica lives with a sometimes- crippling anxiety disorder. She’s been fighting fear longer than any of our other Lanterns.
Simon Baz: For as long as he can remember, Simon’s loved the Green Lanterns. Using his innate charm and gift of gab, he works in Detroit as a vendor. However, business hasn’t been good lately. In the wake of 9/11, America has grown distrustful of young Middle Eastern men.
Bree Jarta, a Black woman in her thirties. she was born to an alien mother and a human father and that she takes her "commitment to the Corps and its purpose more seriously" than her fellow Lanterns. Furthermore, Bree is stated to have been raised on "a more enlightened planet with an advanced society." She outperformed her peers and earned her ring only to have Guy as her partner.
Kilowog and Sinestro would also be part of the show
only casting announcements i found
