Hector Hammond

So, you know, it was a huge deal.

And then like Hector Hammond rolled out.

He was like, oh, hell.

Hi, Hal.

I was like, okay, I guess we get something.

And then, oh, when they do the thing, when they say, oh, when he goes to the guy that, you know, supposed to be Hector Hammond, and it's like, I was like, oh, they're actually going to make Hector Hammond a Latino? That's crazy.

And it was like, oh, no, he's actually not Hector Hammond.

He's just a dude.

He's just a dude pretending to be Hector Hammond.

Don't worry about it.

Just Pakistan.

And I mean, with him just being, I mean, what threats could he just do if he just do like, just don't know.

I mean, I guess Hector Hammond's still out there, but I don't know how much.

Hector Hammond is like a very legit, very, because he like, so like the, you know, the movie did not do that character very well.

The comic version of Hector Hammond is actually a pretty cool Green Lantern villain because he like psychically like eats emotions.

So he's like almost able to like consume the energy off of the ring.

And it makes it hard for, like green lantern to like effectively use the ring in like a fight with hector so like there's an interesting thing you could do um i would hope i i you know in the comics it's it's almost sort of similar to like modok where like uh you could make him look really cool in a comic book because you can make him look gross like that that's how you make it effective is you make it gross and kind of body horror-esque and kind of disturbing looking and then in live action it just kind of comes across as silly you know like it's like it's like it's just some things just can look good animated and just can't just just don't translate as well so i don't know how you do that character in live action exactly um But I don't know.

Too many characters introduced in too short of a time frame.

And not enough focus on anybody in particular or anything in particular other than, oh, Hector Hammond is...

Jeffrey Epstein and Oliver Queen is the billionaire who didn't do enough.

I get that, though.

It's the kind of perfect balance of being the true detective Ozark style meets this, you know, snappy, witty comic book style of the new take on the Green Lanterns, you know, or the Lanterns.

It's a scene where we're playing, is Waylon the alien telling the truth or not? And it's a police interrogation and it's strong point of view cutting because we are with John and Kerry observing from the other side of the interrogation room at times as well it's treading that line of like oh so much suspense so much tension hints of comedy getting the audience to lean in because we're like is he telling the truth is he not and then when the bomb drops then it's getting out as quickly as possible um with so much tension as well so it was a it was a fun scene to put together and um it's probably like that scene is didn't really change after my first pass of that scene and uh you know I remember sharing it I think with Matt and Emily and you know it works it was beautifully directed it was beautifully shot actually like I I love the cinematography in that scene you know when we're outside the room and we're looking in from John and Kerry's point of view you can see even though we're on the backs of John and Kerry you can see their reflection you can see their faces with Waylon the character that plays Waylon and with Kyle you can just see that you know and it was so evocative in the way that it was all kind of captured which just made my job a lot of fun and I was able to kind of notch up the tension as we progressed through that scene I remember going into the Hector Hammond scene I kept referencing that

scene

How do you judge editing? We just had the Emmy Awards shortly before this interview.

Anyways, uh, I thought this was well done.

I love the fate of Hector Hammond here.

I thought that was good.

I was actually surprised that Hector Hammond appears to have been died.

I don't believe for a moment he's going to stay dead.

Because remember in the mainstream universe, Hector Hammond ends up with a big head.

So I have a feeling Hector Hammond is going to be returning in some different form one way or the other.

But...

... uh, apparently killing her.

Carrie helps Hal and John trace the attack to Atlas Sync owner Hector Hammond, who claims to be a decoy and identifies Will as the Manhunter.

Hal instead deduces that Zoe is the Manhunter and accuses John of hiding this from him.

After John calls, uh, a time to arrange a meeting, Hal jumps from their car, causing it to crash with John inside.

... an- it kinda figures itself out.

But I, I still have doubts like you now.

In this, uh, episode, like Hector Hammond, he's the, the guy that worked at the, who, at Atlas who, you know, shot down Zoe's truck or whatever.

Like Hector Hammond was like the main, uh, one of the main villains I think in the Green Lantern movie.
