I'm biased but shouldn't the destruction of Coast City be a bigger deal in-universe? A major US city got nuked to dust so where's the fallout for people who aren't Hal Jordan? Did civilians doubt the Justice League afterward? Was the trust in superheroes shaken? Was there a congressional hearing to decide if someone could have done something more to prevent the death of 7 million people? It feels like it had less effect on the world than 9/11. This shit should be referenced more often outside Hal's comics as the colossal failure to protect civilian lives that it was.
