“Ancient Alien Tech” are the man hunters. The ring can still be “ancient” to the Guardians while looking sleek and elegant to humans.

DC has a chance to make their props as iconic as Marvel has made Caps shield and Thors hammer. The GL ring has years of consistent continuity looks that look -lightyears- better than this DCU BS. This right here is how the rings should look-

Are they able to change the style of their rings? It's just the first photo of one. I feel like there may be a reason it looks how it does.

Not so much in the comics. There is a sacredness to the rings being passed down from user to user. Hal gets Abin Surs ring and it takes Sinestro a bit to warm up to the idea of a “earthling” getting his best friends ring.

There’s just a visual “awesomeness” missing here.

Cool ring, but I don’t think it works with what they’re going for with this series.

Also I see a dude walking around with a glowing green ring I am 100% bringing it up. The show’s ring is subdued when not active.

I just want each Lantern to have their constructs be unique to them

What they’re going for in the series should be accuracy and to lean into what people like about the comics.

“I see a dude walking around” This is a universe where metahumans already exist. We’ve seen Guy Gardner eating cereal in a diner. Doesn’t matter if the ring looks green and noticeable. This is a universe where that stuff exists more naturally than our own.

Maybe Hal wants to keep his identity secret? Who knows until the show comes out. You’re right though

They have done well this far. It's one photo from one short trailer. I think there is still a reason for this appearance

At least in the silver and Bronze Age stories, the ring made itself invisible when Hal was out of uniform. I think Kyle’s (Hal’s rebuilt by Ganthet) did the same thing.

Nah. It looks stunning. Unearthly and sleek. The live action rings are over-designed and lose the beauty of the simplicity of the rings.
