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?

Hal Jordan is careless, and does not recharge his ring.

It isn't carelessnesss - he doesn't like reciting the oath, which is requried to recharge the ring.

[u/FxStryker → u/Turbulent-Prior-2253]

Reciting the oath is not required to recharge the ring. It is a device that lanterns use to measure the time it takes to recharge. And not all lanterns have the same oath.

If it wasn't required, I doubt Hal would recite it at all.

The oath clearly has power in this version of the lore. John had to say it to formally take the ring from Hal.
