I know people hated at the time, but when you think about Hal's life up to and including Emerald Twilight, it made perfect sense for him to become ParallaxHe literally lost his entire personal life because of the Green Lanterns, he had no job, no money, no apartment half the time, Carol hated him, and he had no personal or social life. Then he loses his city and his family in an explosion and he finally wants to use his power for something personal and the Guardians tell him no and were going to take the one thing he has left, his Lantern Ring. This after years and years of service.It makes sense for him to be even, but since comic book fans are manchildren that don't like falls from grace, they retconned it.
>>151034115Is Hal the average writers most hated superhero? Gotta be him or Peter Parker post OMD
>>151034115the definition of willpower is exerting your desires upon reality, the ring turns imagination into reality and requires a strong set of control and principles as a baselineeven sinestro was a great green lantern because he had a strong set of control and principles from which he derived his willhal during emerald twilight betrayed all his friends, his family, but most significantly, who he was. forgive us poor unenlightened readers for thinking that was out of character
>>151034115Sure.
>>151034115Hal Jordan was a joke ever since the 70s and stayed like that until Emerald Twilight, Zero Hour and even Final Night where he bodied the hell out of the Justice League. It would take another decade since Final Night for his return and rehabiliatation where they powerwashed the Denny O'Neil/Neal Adams stank off him.
>>151034115This is a perfect example of a writer creating a script that makes no canon sense - Superman breaking the glass, window frame, shredding the curtains even simply to make a Drama Queen exit.It's as stupid as Gunn having Superman break down the door to Lex's cheap ass porn studio set tier CEO office, while Luthor was being interviewed by some D-List YouTube channel 'personality' faux-jouro podcaster type. An office skyscraper Lex/Superman scene has being depicted in comic book many times, it's even part of the opening scene to S-TAS. It's also been shown with other heroes, especially Flying Bricks. They comes to the CEO's office from the fucking sky, not through a building's main door at the street entrance, past the building security, up the fucking elevator, to the CEO's office which would be at or near the top of the LuthorCorp skyscraper, and then past a fucking row of cubicles and office drones, past his personal secretary, to break down a fucking door.No, the flying bricks (this includes even, for example, Billy when Sivana was a businessman CEO and not just the mad scientist) actually FLY up to the fucking CEO office, and if they were going to break something, it would the glass to the fucking skyscraper to enter the CEO office from only one entry point, not that fucking song-and-dance of street-security-reception-elevator-cubicles to an office door.Jeez Louise.

>>151035400Hal was kind of a joke even before that.
>>151034115Superman couldn't even open the window before flying out
>>151034183Beast?
>>151034115WRONG WRONG WRONGthis is what happened
>>151034115Did they push this whole scenario as buildup for the event?
>>151034115Memes aside I'm not gay but Hal looks very hot here, I like his hair and the white gloves style.
>>151038453based supermanis this hal retelling the encounter to someone else
>>151038453insanity truth nuke
>>151034115Is no one pointing out that Superman is just obliterating that window?
>>151038453SUPAHMAN SMASH
>>151034115It made sense, but I also think it was really boring. I even think he had, like one good comic where he was a cool villain. Some over arching story thing where he was talking about reinventing the universe or something. I remember thinking he was cool there, but even then he was just cool. I wasn't running everywhere telling everyone Parallax was awesome.
