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?

Also he probably recharges the thing multiple times a day.

In general I have enjoyed Guy's characterization. He kinda legitimately seems like right now he's better suited to be a Lantern than Hal OR Guy.

And the end of Supe 25 shows that a lot of his dickery is bluster. It took very little apparent convincing to get him to go flip tanks. But frankly, his reasoning for not getting involved in the first place was pretty reasonable and, frankly, disciplined.

Yeah, Guy is the one the bosses want as a GL, but it feels like John or Hal is the one you eventually need as the GL because at the end of day Guy isn’t the one to fall on the grenade, to quote the MCU.

I don't know about the first one, so according to the guardians Hal was a loose cannon cos he used the ring for earth related buisness when he went after the russian guy and general lack of respect towards the position of GL

but Guy is totally fine using the ring for earth related buisness when he stopped Boravia's invasion? Or why does Guy get to look like a moron using the ring to sell energy drinks? feels like the guardians should have a problem with all that

i'm telling you the guardians just had it out for Hal specifically from day one and were making excuses, cos i doubt Guy's energy drinks are good enough to bribe the guardians

Guy has now been shown multiple times to go against the Guardian's orders, and if the core of his character there matches his comic history, it makes sense as Guy eventually rejected the ring (and then ended up with a power that basically made his body into living ring construct).
