:iconglsymbol-plz:Book of Oa: Proclamations of the Guardians of the Universe: Passage 16:iconglsymbol-plz:


You all know, I suppose. GL:TAS is being cancelled. So many things left undone. The Indigo Tribe, the Black Lanterns, Scar's future plans, Ganthet and Sayd's relationship, Aya's death, Razor becoming a blue lantern. So much potential, all to go to waste.

I confess myself immensely disappointed in this regard. It was a good show, and along with Young Justice, two shows that will no longer grace the television screens of DC lovers everywhere.
Also I'm going to miss Appa, the foul-tempered, loveable bastard
Well, guess what?
Cartoon Network announced its lineup for 2013-2014, and you know who's on it? Green Lantern: The Animated Series isn't, and neither is Young Justice.
So I've been waiting these last two weeks to see if anyone was going to do a journal or something on this with universal information that we could all use; some people still don't even know about it's cancellation; but all seems silent on the dA front.
So I figured I'd do it.
No one knows why, so don't ask. It obviously isn't ratings or popularity, and legal problems wouldn't shut down both shows. I'm blaming it on poor marketing and the sucky timeslot. These shows would be huge if they were advertised like Adventure Time or Regular Show and aired in the evening.
Cartoon Network loves to alienate its multiple fanbases though.
Anyways, this isn't a rant so much as a comfort zone and info spot. I've gone through a lot of websites (God bless the internet) the last few days and found places that are perfect for sad YJ and GLTAS fans to check out.
I'll try to update this periodically. PLEASE send it to any DC groups you know. You don't need to credit me, I just want what you want: to save these shows.
If you know of an article or video or something else that you think should be in here, please leave a comment and let me know.

ADVICE

10 bits of advice. Take it or leave it, I recommend taking it so we can try and save our shows.

1) Sign the petition (link below)
2) Write to Cartoon Network (address below)
3) Try to avoid watching any Cartoon Network except for the DC Nation block. In relative terms, this will boost YJ and GLTAS ratings.
4) Post on FB and Twitter everyday (links below)
5) Ask your friends to record the shows or turn on the TV during the block. They don't have to watch it; just having the TV on will boost ratings.
6) Trend. Each week a hashtag is designated for Saturday and our job is to get it trending. (more info below)
7) Along with your letter, there are several designated items being sent to Cartoon Network. (More info below)
8) Buy the toys, buy the comics, buy the iTunes episodes, buy the DVDs, buy any merchandise you can afford.
9) Call Cartoon Network, and leave a POLITE voice-mail (some people have actually been answering, so remember, BE POLITE)
10) Enjoy the shows while you can.

So I really like this show, Green Lantern the animated series. The first season ended and the makers stopped making new episodes and told the fans they couldn't fund a second season of both it and another show, Young Justice. But I think that the fans can change this if we keep saying that they should make a new season. I don't know how much it'll help, but I, for one, have always been taught to stand up for what I believe in. So this is me, standing up. It'd also really really help if everyone spreads this around Facebook
Hello, everyone!

Unfortunately, Young Justice and Green Lantern: The Animated Series are being canceled by Cartoon Network after they finish their current seasons. They will be replaced by Beware the Batman and Teen Titans Go! on DC Nation.

[link]

Maybe you can write to Cartoon Network, POLITELY AND MATURELY, to request that they let these shows continue. In the meantime, you can sign this petition to try to bring them back: [link]

This is sad news for all of us, and I'm not entirely sure how much we'll influence the eventual fates of YJ and GLTAS, but we can at least try. Let's stick together, fandom! Symbiosi. <3

Young Justice and Green Lantern: The Animated Series will both end when their current seasons, which were interrupted more than once in their runs, end later this spring. Announced through their exclusion on Cartoon Network's "new and returning shows" press release for fall 2013, the series both suffered from broken-up seasons, including a sudden and unexplained pause in the fall of 2012 after only a few episodes of each. A representative from Warner Brothers Animation confirmed to Newsarama the cancelation. Cartoon Network's only official stance is that the new episodes already produced will continue to air.

Well ... (insert swear word here) me!

This is not the type of news i like to hear when i wake up after a really long day, anticipating for Saturday to hit only to be messaged by Arik that our two favorite shows are in the process of being cancelled by Cartoon Network(which will permanently boycott if the series ends).

Giancarlo Volpe, the show's creator has posted a [link] to a petition in an attempt to save the two shows from hopefully meeting it's unfortunate end, it's best beneficial for everyone to do your part and save what may perhaps be one of the very good remaining shows on CN.

Now to Cartoon Network, all i have to ask is the question "Why", why has the corporation been so against the show so immensely despite it's growing matured fanbase, the very same fanbase that treated the show like it was their own child, a child that was slowly walking on his own to later on become something big in the harsh world, only to ruin it's fruitful life so early. First the two hiatus's and now this travesty. From this day on (with the exception of the remaining GLTAS and Young Justice episodes) i am now boycotting Cartoon Network completely, due to the simple and obvious reason that there is no more good show anymore that's worth to watch from my end, and i would probably never look into again.

When i made this Group almost a year ago it was for the purpose to not only bring together Razer/Aya shipping fans, but fans in general of the show who i have acknowledged over the course of the year for being one of the most matured fanbase i have ever experienced for a television series, so passionate to the point that i honestly still can't believe to this day that the group maintained itself so well on it's own.

I will closely continue to look into the matter of the series's situation, till then have hope. :iconbluelanternplz:

:bulletgreen::bulletgreen::bulletgreen:INFO:bulletgreen::bulletgreen::bulletgreen:

:bulletgreen:Green Lantern is a Detective Comics ( DC ) Creation. Back in the 40s it was about a man who acquired the power of the green lantern was able to use it's power through a ring.

Green Lantern Animated series

Sun Nov 13, 2011, 5:13 PM
Just finished watching the first episode. And I can say I'm totally on board. I still feel that some of it looks a little plain and rubbery as far as surface textures go, but the acting both voice and animated, the action, the story it's all there in spades.  If anyone was turned off by the initial sneak previews of this show, give it another look, it's so worth the time.

I hope GL gets as many seasons as it's creators want out of it because I'll be there watching the whole way.

If you have not seen the following episodes then go watch them!
Green Lantern-so many feels! The whole time I’m thinking Razer you’re not dead, but I was really confused at the begging. Like how did, better yet when did Aya get a new body? If you know then please tell me! Now the Aya and Razer shippers are all going nuts cause well its look like they with be together. Sitting and watching this I was like just kiss all ready. More Blue lanterns with Phil Morris as Saint Walker, but with my entire feels for this show and the robots.

Young Justice-holy crap, I know I try not to get all fan girls but must not talk about supermartian, but it like she didn’t want to talk to fishface… I mean La’gaan. I know some people ship fishface and Ma’gann but the ending Conner must know something is up, and the attack on the hall. Ok at the begging of this episode I swear I heard the little robot say the big bad dudes name was ‘del foot’ but the bad guys name was like something else. Hey did other people see Black Lightning, when did he joint the justice league? So look like Static Shock is getting his well static. Hey did anyone see that the team’s new head quarters, and I really felt like punching the reach in the face.

So would you want new seasons of Green Lantern and Young Justice?
