JokersUpdates.com: Streamed Shows - I think they were very successful in building the character of John Stewart as a GL. They gave him deep character development, he has a very firm foundation because of it to get into deeper

GL stories. But, yes they really butchered comic Hal Jordan. Normally I would not hold the movies/ tv shows to the fire to follow comics all the time always. If they can creatively make a character more interesting or more relatable for the tv, movie audience I dont fault changes.

But these Hal Jordan changes were unnecessary to me. And they didn't give the proper explanation and backstory. If he was going to be an ostracized ---- character that no one liked, and no one in the Corps even wanted to attend his funeral you kind of need to show more of why.

If they had a good story on why and sold it that would have made it way more palatable.

They also had a villain issue. Sinsetro needed more. There was more to be done with him they could have spent more time with him I think and less in the small town minutia
