That's one of the (many) things I really hated about the Reynolds' GL. The aliens were basically window-dressing. Hell, Optimus Prime in the Trannies films has more personality than Tomar Re did, and Tomar had Geoffrey Rush's voice coming out of him! The only one who got much personality was Sinestro, and even he got shortchanged in favor of Blake Unlively. In my script, I really wanted to make them feel like an actual police force. Like, Hal's the rookie, Sinestro is the bent Alonzo Harris / Vic Mackey guy, Tomar's the nerdy forensics doc, Salaak's the put-upon dispatcher who everyone thinks is kind of lazy, Boodikaa's the tough chick cop, Arisia's the fresh-faced "kid", Kil's the gruff desk sergeant, and so forth and so on.
Fun fact: To write the Guardians, I actually watched some C-Span and any Senate BS I could find on Youtube. I wanted to make them seem powerful yet really, really ineffective at the same time. In their presence, aliens go "Whoa, The Guardians". But then the second they leave the Citadel it's "F*** those guys. I should've voted for someone else."
