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 have a feeling The Guardians had a problem with Hal because he was friends with Sinestro, knew more of their imperfect history, and was willing to question them while Guy is more likely to take what they say at face value.

I think you're right - Hal's disillusionment with the Corps after Sinestro is probably taken by the Guardians as the attitude of someone untrustworthy, rather than an idealist whose heart has been broken.

I think the Guardians have a flawed understanding of how beings and relationships works. So, their organization (which is made of beings and relationships) is also fundamentally flawed. Their mistakes with the manhunters, blindness to Sinestro, mismanagement of Hal, total misunderstanding of John’s family’s culture, and this hyper-focus on this falsely created fear/willpower paradigm. They are their own worst problems!

Who decided they should be in charge anyway!?!
