Tai being in the normal universe is fine, but how do you explain his grandmother being a previous GL, with Hal, Guy, etc.
"John, were dinosaurs really necessary for us to see over that hill?"
"Were they not, Hal?"
"Why do I ever doubt you, John? Want to overthrow an imperialist empire to annoy the Bloompa Loompas?"
"Sure, but only if we agree it was your idea."
"Wouldn't have it any other way."
Yeah, but you're acting like Hal going to sleep for ten years is somehow unreasonable when it's literally the experience of every GL fan who wants someone other than Hal leading a solo book. This is the kind of **** that keeps the GL fandom torn apart. Hal's been riding high for twenty years now. If he goes to sleep for five while the others finally get their dues, that's not the end of the world especially considering the strength of the Johns and Morrison runs (the latter of which being a helluva swan song for Hal as of right now). I love Hal, but I also want to read stories about the other GLs and it's cool they're finally getting some play.
Yeah, I get that it sounded bad now. Was not my intention.
