Where do you get a perfectly made burger at a drive-thru??

I live in Taiwan, so there's a few great restaurants that specialize in excellently done American fast food. Plus, we're currently at the tail end of our island-wide Covid lockdown, so everything is drive-thru now

2nd place isn't bad.

[liwanag]

is hal really driven to be the first and greatest in all things?

[Johnny]

I don't think so. Hal doesn't care about being the first, best or greatest in anything, he just cares about helping people. Venditti more than made up for his prior GL run with this one, but I don't know what he was thinking here.

Yeah, Hal would be the first person to not refer to himself as "the greatest Green Lantern of them all."

Nope.

Hal looking out for others is literally why I'm a fan.

That's Sinestro, imo.

It's a terrible way to think of Hal - being driven to be the first and best? That's BS. I would say that he's maybe driven to push the boundaries, so that's why he ends up being the first. And the best? It's because he always gives it his all - he throws himself in one thousand percent. Venditti wrote that? He also wrote Hal telling Kyle he was the best, because he had mastered all the colors of the rainbow. So... yeah, that doesn't make sense.

And Guy thinking of himself as "unworthy? Quite the turnaround from when he kept calling himself, "the one true Green Lantern."

It's a trap some writers tend to fall in at times where you have a character who is seen by other characters as being "the greatest" in something, and then for some reason the writer decides the character could see themselves that way too, despite that it could be entirely out of character for him/her to do so. Makes them seem unlikable and full of themselves. It's like with real-life celebrities, people don't like seeing those they put on a pedestal to believe in their own hype after all. You can consider Spielberg to be the greatest filmmaker of his time, but if he were to suddenly start calling himself that too, it would kind of put you off.
