while Kyle becoming *the* GL definitely was a factor beforehand, the franchise still bounced back to being an ensemble, I feel like in and post the Johns era and DC's pivot to Hal being *the* GL, was when the franchise fragmented and has stayed fragmented to this day. mind you, this is just what I can gather following the throughline of GL stories in retrospect; I wasn't anywhere near reading comics at the time, so I could be wrong.
