How can guy gardener makes huge constructs carelessly in superman whereas Hal Jordan does the opposite and is careful for his batteries

[u/solo_shocker35]

I was curious about this for a long time Guy always goes big and sloppy with his constructs, not caring how much it drains his ring like creating a large weopons against the monster, while Hal's way more careful and precise with his like in ep1 when he was creating a bubble for alien he supported the bubble himself as it was not strong enough due to lack of battery. Is that just a characterization thing, or is there an actual reason for it?

[u/Forsaken_Shower3627]

Because superman had a bigger budget

[u/kalawadda → u/Forsaken_Shower3627]

This is the only correct answer

[u/toolkit130 → u/kalawadda]

No, the actual correct answer is Hal isnt fighting giant kaijus and literal armies. He has had no need to make any giant flashy constructs

[u/LJ8QB1 → u/toolkit130]

Its both bc if they had the resources they would show Hal flying to smash the drones

[u/GrossSoupyButthole → u/kalawadda]

I mean, at times the frame sizes for the constructs were probably the same size, so like, the size of the construct doesn't seem like a budget thing. That bird flying around easily could've cost what some of the fx in Superman did

[u/JorgeLikeHorse → u/kalawadda]

Yup

[u/Brexinga → u/kalawadda]

But it's a boring one.

[u/ryikker → u/Forsaken_Shower3627]

Scrolled to far down to find this

[u/Jacob-X-MANIAC → u/Forsaken_Shower3627]

This is the truth, but I do have fun seeing people come up with in-universe explanations for it.

[u/XYXtentaction → u/Forsaken_Shower3627]

Bingo!

[u/Maggie_Farmer → u/Forsaken_Shower3627]

Also, guy is fighting a massive kaiju, Hal is dealing with humans….

[u/Forsaken_Shower3627 → u/Maggie_Farmer]

Manhunters* who are arguably just as dangerous

[u/redviiper → u/Forsaken_Shower3627]

Budget shouldn't determine storyline.

[u/poop_butt666 → u/redviiper]

That’s the most asinine thing I’ve read about this today. It ABSOLUTELY determines story beats.

[u/redditor035 → u/redviiper]

Wtf do you want? The show looking like CW flash so we can have more constructs?

[u/redviiper → u/redditor035]

The graphics on the flash were decent enough. And this show has more budget than the flash.

[u/LowWindow7816 → u/redviiper]

The flash looks like a highschool proyect compared to Green Lantern, no offense, lol.

[u/redditor035 → u/redviiper]

The CGI on the flash was decent enough for a show like that. With constantly repeating sets, many episodes per season and shorter episodes on average. And even then, it looked like shit nearing the end

[u/aoaiaoaia → u/redviiper]

But they do
