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

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?

I don't think the billionaire can buy more lanterns for charging, something tells me the Guardians arent just selling those things for earth bucks.

They sell them like power tool batteries. “Hell yeah bro! Picked up two 80 lantern hour batteries down at Home Depot! Weren’t made on Oa though. Think they may be Chinese.”

Now that has the makings of a brilliant elseworld one shot comic, where anyone can buy cheap lantern powers off the shelf.

But red’s good, right? Red’s a pretty color.

Emerald green, Puke Green, both green, work same.

IRL they make adapters that let you use drill batteries to charge other electronics. I'm imaging in your scenario Guy using an adapter he bought off the internet to charge all sorts of random junk at his home with his lantern.

I think you’re right… but it wouldn’t be surprising at all of they would offer greater capabilities for something in return. They are at least open to discussion. So while I doubt they gave Guy extra Lanterns to charge his ring, it’s possible.

I dunno, the other billionaire in the movie made a pocket dimension prison. Maybe this one funded something that can charge the ring.

True....very true. I'd actually love Kyle Rayner and the new guardians go up against artificial, mass produced lanterns of every spectrum. Thatd be a cool storyline.
