#imagining rose and jason and connor’s exasperatedly dragging him out of scenes lmao

I’m just cataloguing the quotes from when Kyle nearly gave up being Green Lantern for good because I think it is interesting and plays very much into the idea that Kyle probably wouldn’t have gone near the hero route if it wasn’t very much thrust upon him.

To start with, right before this he says “I think there are a few people I need to visit. Might help me get my head straight.” to his mom and instead of any alive people I thought he was going to visit, HE VISITS DONNA AND ALEX.

And then Major Force comes to try to convince him some more which for some reason WORKS?? (Listen boy, even if he didn’t kill your mom, he did most definitely kill Alex still? I know he’s not in the right frame of mind or something but this is the SECOND time you’ve given up your ring to a known and established villain that you’ve fought like you think he would know better by now)

Major Force would’ve gotten away with it too lol if he didn’t decide to be stupid and say THIS which cause Kyle to realise he was making a mistake and fought back and took the ring back.

So in the end, he makes a decision and the whole series wraps up with this.

It does make one wonder, would he have chosen differently, under a different scenario, under a different sets of condition? Because unlike a lot of heroes, he doesn’t seem that stuck to the whole career choice (at this point) in a way in that he even very genuinely and sincerely considers giving it up. Would he have regretted it if he had chosen to walk away? Is it even possible to walk away, or would he have walked back after a while?
