Green Highlights! Dude! Cut It Out

Here’s the first image of Ryan Reynolds in his Green Lantern suit, from the Comic-con cover of EW this week.

… wait! Is his hair green? Are you kidding me? Are those green fucking highlights? Dude, that is so gay, man. Green highlights? Come on!

(Source: EW)

In a related story, Ryan Reynolds also suffered a minor injury on the set of Green Lantern this week. It’s true. He probably separated his shoulder applying those hideous green highlights.

And he wonders why he didn’t make the Pajiba Ten this year. Pffft. And yes: For those green highlights alone, I searched out the funkiest, goofiest looking header pic of Reynolds I could fine. We’re through. #notreally

I am hoping that's just some weird trick of the green light or something. As far as I know, and I know pretty well, Hal Jordan never had green hair or even green highlights.

Wait, are they *actually* green highlights, though, or is that just the green lighting reflecting off his lightish-colored hair? I only ask because that's what it looks like to me, and I feel like panic is unnecessary.

Posted by: Anna von Beaverplatz at July 15, 2010 10:21 AM

I would still bang the shit out of that man. Even while he was making the face in the header photo.

That costume looks like it's made out of muscles and sinew! THE GREEN LANTERN IS MADE OF PEOPLE!

Dammit, Rowles, when you took your Stanning Vows you promised to obsess and to stalk no matter what. Don't judge him for have a green light make his hair turn green. You've got to stick this obsession out. What would you do with all that extra closet space if you had to get rid of your shrine?

Pinky McLadybits: you mean to say he's actually Soylent Green Lantern?

Posted by: Dugs at July 15, 2010 10:28 AM

Well, well, doesn't this look like a mix of Tron, the "Emerald City Superfriends!", and a KFC fat-redneck, two-ton weight-total, family-size bucket o' chicken gay.

Atrocitus is still winning.

New Buffy? I wanna know more about that!

Green highlights bad, buffy good.

"Does this make Hulk butt look big?"

Posted by: , at July 15, 2010 10:32 AM

They all ready made a Green Lantern cartoon. I thought this was supposed to be a live action movie.

Also, why is Ry-Rey looking at me like he's into fisting?

Posted by: admin at July 15, 2010 10:33 AM

Pretty sure the green hair is just reflected light.

Posted by: Paul Southworth at July 15, 2010 10:41 AM

Why would they use green light when there is photoshop?

Posted by: lol at July 15, 2010 10:48 AM

That costume looks like it's made out of muscles and sinew!

For some reason, I read this as "...muscles and SWINE". I'm not really sure what to make of that.

Also, I just read Sage's comment and started salivating. Then I scrolled up trying to find what she (I assume Sage is a she, and I apologize for assuming if you're not!) was talking about, and saw the teaser on the cover and got disappointed.... they're probably talking about the new series version of Nikita. *sigh*

Posted by: Anna von Beaverplatz at July 15, 2010 10:51 AM

Okay, all you haters can step off right now.

I am officially giving this my power ring seal of approval. From what little I can see (and let's face it, a waist-up still doesn't show much) I think the costume is just fine, thankyaverymuch.

Anyone else wanna start some static? I got a full charge from the power battery this mornin'. Bring it, playa-hatahs.

Posted by: Green Lantern at July 15, 2010 10:52 AM

For some reason I think it looks like the suit of "armor" Vlad the Impaler wore at the beginning of Francis Ford Coppola's "Dracula" only painted green.

Posted by: bleujayone at July 15, 2010 10:53 AM

He looks disturbingly like Will Ferrell in the header picture...I taste breakfast again.

Posted by: Annie at July 15, 2010 10:53 AM

Also, *GUFFAW* @ Soylent Green Lantern. That was awesome.

Since Dustin has forsaken Ry-Ry, this clearly means he's ALL MINE.

Posted by: Melody at July 15, 2010 11:06 AM

Looks awful. I wish they'd made a Wonder Twins movie instead.

Did you get a manicure too while you were at the beauty salon getting your hair done? Did you gab with the girls? How is Kyle these days anyway?

Fag.

Posted by: Sinestro at July 15, 2010 11:10 AM

I'd still hit. With the green hair and everything. :P

Posted by: SarahReznor at July 15, 2010 11:13 AM

The mask is what's bothering me.

Posted by: Jay at July 15, 2010 11:16 AM

BLAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!

Posted by: Red Lantern Guy Gardner at July 15, 2010 11:18 AM

Yay! Sinestro's back!

Posted by: Kayanne at July 15, 2010 11:21 AM

The green light/highlights/wev are obviously someone's late night photoshop wankery. I seriously doubt the ring was actually giving off power rays or whatever the heck it does. Which I believe moves this into photoshop disaster territory.

The good news is that Dustin doesn't have to break up with RyRey just yet. Saves him the whole crawl back thing, for which I think we can all be grateful. Some things, you just don't want to see.

Posted by: Reba at July 15, 2010 11:46 AM

Hmm. Figures being Pajiba's unofficial superhero I'd be bound to drag in supervillains like mud on a shoe.

Sinestro, old fiend, gloves do NOT lend themselves to a manicure, Mrs. Lantern does NOT like me gabbing to the girls, and Kyle's back on Oa making sure there's a nice tidy sciencell waiting for your emminent return. You diseased maniac.

And Kayanne, WHY "Yay! Sinestro's back!"? I mean, EVIL! PURE AND SIMPLE!! With weaponry from QWARD fercryin'outloud! How is that "Yay!"?

I swear, save some Pajiban's lives, fight some Pajiban crime, thwart some Pajiban alien menances and THIS is the thanks I get? The bad guys get "yay"?

Hmph, I say. At least AQUAMAN still likes me...

Posted by: Green Lantern at July 15, 2010 11:50 AM

Red Lantern Guy Gardner - Nice to see you're back to drinking as usual...

Posted by: Green Lantern at July 15, 2010 11:51 AM

really, GL? "At least AQUAMAN still likes me"? Really?

I feel that's HARDLY a glowing recommendation. And frankly not something I'd be inclined to brag about. I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'.

Posted by: Anna von Beaverplatz at July 15, 2010 11:55 AM

Because, GreeLa, you get so hilariously catty with your nemesis. And I like fake internet feuds.

Plus, Aquaman is a total douche. He took my friend out to seafood place and made the lobsters dance for her after she order one. She left the restaurant sobbing. Nobody likes that guy.

Posted by: Kayanne at July 15, 2010 12:03 PM

Pinky McLadybits: you mean to say he's actually Soylent Green Lantern?

Exactly, Dugs.

Posted by: Pinky McLadybits at July 15, 2010 12:13 PM

Hey, fuck you, alright? Let's see you rule an undersea empire and communicate telepathically with dolphins. Yeah, that's what I thought, Anna von Beaverdouche.

And Kayanne, your friend was a bitch anyway.

Posted by: Aquaman at July 15, 2010 12:15 PM

Uh, Soylent Green Lantern, while I definitely get the play on words, just brings to mind a moist green costume after da big bad guy scare da gween wantern and he make a wittle oopsie in his undies.

Posted by: Rykker at July 15, 2010 12:20 PM

Oh, you ladies and your "scathing" and "bitchy". Let's see here...

AVB - You're allowed to "just say". As long as you're JUST sayin'.

Kayanne - And how many dates do YOU get to go on with royalty (he IS King of the Seas, y'know) who can summon entertainment on command? Hmm?? HOW many? None, did ya say? Yeah I thought so.

Further I'll bet what your friend told you were "sobs" were actually watery eyes caused from Aquaman not rinsing off the brine from being in the deep. He does that sometimes. Plus he has an awesome XBox setup.

I'm just sayin'...

Posted by: Green Lantern at July 15, 2010 12:29 PM

Eff you, Aquaman, my, uh, friend is a friggin' saint! And what kind of king of the sea take a girl out on a date to a seafood restaurant, anyway. A guy who shows up wasted, that's who. And nobody thinks your surf 'n turf innuendo are funny.

Smug, sea-dwelling bastard.

Posted by: Kayanne at July 15, 2010 12:35 PM

CHUD has a hi-rez version of the EW cover and it's bad. REALLY bad.

SLAM EVIL!

Posted by: Barry at July 15, 2010 12:37 PM

So I had a couple of sea breezes before I showed up. Big fucking deal. Your "friend" was an uptight bitch.

Lemme tell you, missy, I've taken plenty of ladies on the ol' dolphin ride, and they always come back for more. Just sayin', right Ms. von Beaver?

Posted by: Aquaman at July 15, 2010 12:39 PM

WHY "Yay! Sinestro's back!"? I mean, EVIL! PURE AND SIMPLE!! With weaponry from QWARD fercryin'outloud! How is that "Yay!"?

I'M pure evil? Who massacred the whole Green Lantern Corp and then tried restarting time at the Zero Hour? It wasn't the dude who's whole body is a head, that's for sure.

Douche.

Posted by: Sinestro at July 15, 2010 12:40 PM

Not appreciating vomit on leopard print heels does not make me-uh my friend and uptight bitch! And just because you pay them to smile doesn't mean your "ladies" appreciate swimming with the dolphin.

Stick that in your blowhole, jackass.

Posted by: Kayanne at July 15, 2010 12:44 PM

Sinestro - Oh, yeah. I did those things. Sure.

I also reignited the sun when it went out, AND was the host for The Spectre for a time, AND arranged for Oa to be rebuilt even before I was able to be ressurected.

I guess what I'm saying is "lighten up, Thaal."

Just sayin', douchington. *powerringmiddlefinger*

Posted by: Green Lantern at July 15, 2010 12:46 PM

Kayanne - Wait, wait, wait...he used the old "surf & turf" line on "your friend". And you...er, "your friend" bought it? SERIOUSLY?

BWAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH! Oh ARTHUR! It's funny, but you gotta change your game up, man. Remember when you tried that line on Black Canary? Don't you? You coudln't hear for like a WEEK afterwards!

"Surf & turf". Heh.

Posted by: Green Lantern at July 15, 2010 12:49 PM

No, nobody bought the line. If you read what I said, it says that nobody thinks it's funny. Anyway, both of y'all can get bent.

Superheroes are tools.

Posted by: Kayanne at July 15, 2010 1:01 PM

Et tu, Green Lantern? Et tu? At least I'm not still slumming it with that Ferris chick. I mean, seriously - Star Sapphire? Like there's a hero on any of the earths that hasn't... um... never mind.

As for Kayanne's... "friend". First of all, only hookers wear leopard print shoes. Second of all, I think you're your friend is forgetting our little moment in your car? Does the phrase "I've never seen a whale that big" ring a bell? How about when you she offered to show me her blowhole.

And you think I was the drunk one?

Posted by: Aquaman at July 15, 2010 1:01 PM

I also reignited the sun when it went out, AND was the host for The Spectre for a time, AND arranged for Oa to be rebuilt even before I was able to be ressurected.

AND dyed your hair green, apparently.

C'mon guys. Just take a deep breath and relax. We can work this out.

Posted by: Blue Lantern Saint Walker at July 15, 2010 1:08 PM

Leopard print shoes are not for hookers!

But the girl in the car was a hooker. She was paid to take my... friend's place after the taxi came to save my friend from the hell known as "Aqua's lil' dingie." Yes, you were that wasted.

Also, you may be the new master of a completely different type of crab.

Posted by: Kayanne at July 15, 2010 1:09 PM

Give it a rest, Aquafag. You too, Green Panties. You're both retards. For fuck's sake, one of you needs jewelry to win a fight, the other needs a fucking fish. Buncha nancy-ass pussies.

And Sinestro, dude, seriously. Put a little fuckin' sunscreen on that fivehead bro.

Kayanne, you ever want to take an interstellar ride with a real man, you lemme know. I got a thing for leopard print.

Kayanne, I gotta do a buncha asskicking in then morning, and then I can probably give it to you for a few hours.

I mean give you a few hours.

Whatever.

Whoops, Northstar's here. Guess we gotta stop crackin' gay jokes.

Posted by: Soundwave at July 15, 2010 2:27 PM

I'm gonna print out this entire thread and make sweet love to it.

But...aw, he looks fine. I suspect the hair just looks green from the light of the ring.

Two things though:

1) Geez could that BE a worse disguise? The mask is MOLDED to his face. Whatever idiot doesn't recognize that as RyRy is, well, an idiot.

2) RyRy's eyes are already a little too close together. That mask somehow makes them look even CLOSER together. He looks kinda dorky.

I do like the muscle-tissue effect on the suit though. Neato.

Posted by: figgy at July 15, 2010 2:31 PM

This is, like, so off-topic, but for those who were excited about the "new Buffy" story on the EW cover, you may want to tone down the giddiness. I haven't read this particular story, yet, but I've been following the machinations of Kaz Kuzui (producer of the original Buffy movie) for the better part of a year, and he's only interested in rebooting the franchise without Joss Whedon. And, possibly, without any of the supporting characters that made the TV show so indelible.

Like I said, I haven't read this story, yet, it's just what I've been hearing for a while.

I finally figured out the header pic! That goofy headshot you so lovingly found reminds me of.....

Listen Namor you greasy haired, wing heeled, knock off wannabe. I know Aquaman, I've swum with Aquaman, Aquaman and I have ridden a giant pink sea horse together, and you sir are no Aquaman! Have YOU gotten a gritty reboot yet? No? Didn't think so. Because no one gives a damn about Namor, the creepy uncle of the Marvel universe.

Posted by: Aqualad at July 15, 2010 4:02 PM

Aquabitch, I was gritty from the getgo. I don't need no fucking retconning, OK? LOOK AT THESE UNDERPANTS!!! That's a man right there.

Why don't you and Aquaman and your pink seahorse go find a couple of Navy boys. Dress yourself up pretty and maybe they'll show you their guns.

Asshole.

I love this thread so, so much.

Look, as far as the suit goes - at least there are no nipples, amiright?

(Psst, Lobo - call me!)

Posted by: MelBivDevoe at July 15, 2010 4:40 PM

he doesn't have green highlights. The photo has been photoshopped within an inch of it's life. I'm 99% sure the only real part of the photo is his face (the part not covered by the mask).

Posted by: theotherkafka at July 15, 2010 4:53 PM

The only person gayer than Northstar is Namor apparently. Green thong with a bright gold belt-buckel? Robin and you should trade fashion tips. You and He-Man should get together and wrastle.

Posted by: Sinestro at July 15, 2010 5:01 PM

Don't make me whack you with a leopard print shoe, Mel.

Posted by: Kayanne at July 15, 2010 5:12 PM

OUTRAGEOUS!!

Posted by: Aquaman at July 15, 2010 5:22 PM

You said it Aquaman. Hey Namor, Aquaman may have had to settle for a movie in Entourage, but you know who's going to play you? Yeah, that's right NO ONE, because you couldn't even sell a PSA- "Hi, I'm Namor and I've got crabs-get checked regularly." See, that's just unsettling. Man mustard, HA! You're shooting dummy torpedos, tights stuffer.

Posted by: Aqualad at July 15, 2010 5:26 PM

Damn. All you costumed Aquatarts and sub-mariners are an embarrassment to the undersea community. You make the rest of us look like a joke.

What WHAT?

Nancified twats.

Posted by: Mark Harris at July 15, 2010 5:54 PM

I love this thread so much.

The green highlights aren't a problem. The problem is the header pic. I thought RyRy was everlasting pantie remover and then the last person on earth I expected to prove otherwise goes and posts that! Jebus, Dustin, I will never un-see that (and a big thank you to DeckOfficer!!).
