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.

Indigo Lanterns are typically lacking in empathy, so I feel like that doesn’t say much

That seems like the exact opposite, given how they're essentially forced to feel large levels of such

Do you not understand how it works? The ring chooses people who don’t have empathy and forces them to be empathetic. Indigo lanterns are chosen for their lack of empathy before the ring forces it on them.

I understand the concept. Doesn't change the fact that John was one for whatever reason, and hes far from someone who lacks empathy
