The 'Thoughts On Lanterns' Meme Reimagines 'Lanterns' Characters As Other Popular Characters

Thoughts On Lanterns is an exploitable meme format based on a tweet sharing a promotional image from the 2026 Green Lantern TV show Lanterns of the protagonists, John Stewart and Hal Jordan, played by Aaron Pierre and Kyle Chandler, respectively, walking down a street. The memes went viral on X / Twitter in early September 2026. As a meme, the image of Pierre and Chandler is edited to make them resemble other notable characters and the caption is altered to reference the franchise that the characters come from.
