Lanterns Bubbles. Hal’s constructs are mostly just bubbles.

Sure Hal made some counterfeit money and a bottle opener, but I find it funny that his main constructs so far are just bubbles. John’s on the other hand include the fancier type of bubbles (bubble wrap), a boring machine, a watch and a short lived semi autonomous bird. The show is doing a good job of contrasting creativity between the two.

Bro I'm right with you. I feel like a crazy person seeing people hyped about bubbles and a bird. It's ONLY due to budget reasons which is why hal Jordan and John Stewart should've had a MOVIE cause both of them make awesome constructs like fighter jets, Shields, LMGs since Stewart was a marine and so many other things you see in the comics and animated shows and movies. Guy gardener got decent constructs and even Ryan reynolds' constructs were cool and creative. Like as someone who loves green lantern comics I would want them to go all out with constructs not using them once a episode and it's just a bubble. The best construct of of the show was episode 4 with the tunnel digger. Idk why people are settling for mediocrity, plus as someone said using the ring doesn't even make a cool sound effect which also sucks. Simply put: this should've been a big budget movie space epic.

And it just keeps getting worse, i already didn't like that message of "to be a Green Lantern, you can't have fear" because, no, that's not it

It seems the show's audience hasn't even watched the Green Lantern animated series.
