People say Bruce is the most tragic character but Hal Jordan lost his father, his mother, and his relationship with his brothers because he chose to serve in the airforce as a way to get closer to his father, served the country, lost it all in a second.
Lost his connection to his father, lost his income, and by now his mother is dead and his brothers really aren’t talking to him. So he starts over, finds some stability, and then becomes a GL.
And he sacrifices himself over and over again for the world and for the universe, for people who don’t know him, for his brothers who don’t talk to him, for his relationship that he keeps on screwing up, and comes back home to eviction notices, no job, loss of money–
and he just deals with it
People thinking he’s irresponsible, people think he’s not taking anything seriously, people think he doesn’t understand the gravitation of what he’s doing–
but he does. He fights for a universe that doesn’t even know his name and comes back to his landlord yelling at him. Or to bruce calling him an idiot.
And he rarely goes apeshit.
