Well, it appears Lindelof's comments from last year were more than enough for Morrison to run under the assumption that Lanterns is going to suck – even though less than five minutes of footage has been released (though it seems Morrison is willing to concede that "The show might even be good…": not exactly a "good luck and break a leg!"). But this line is the one that really hits hard: "How much better could this stuff be if studios were willing to hire the right people for the job instead of phoning their embarrassed friends to water the source material down?" Because, as much as it would be insulting to compare Lindelof's comics-writing track record to Morrison's, it would be equally insulting to compare Morrison's television experience to the person responsible for LOST, The Leftovers, Watchmen, and other pop culture-redefining series on the small screen.
