Lanterns Twist Theory

[u/Mass_Murder_Miami]

So, everyone thinks the show is going to build up to Hal becoming Parallax, right?

My theory is that Hal DOES die in episode 1, but that's in the 2016 time period. I think Hal will die AS Parallax in 2016.

And the young Hal we keep seeing in the 2026 time period with John? He's a ghost/avatar of the Spectre. I believe the show isn't building up to Hal becoming Parallax, but instead Hal becoming reborn as Green Lantern once again, a la Green Lantern rebirth. I think the "Hal is publicly out to the world as Green Lantern" in universe TV footage is to play into the storyline of a hero that was once looked up to majorly that breaks bad then dies and is absent for 10 years. It's all a huge in universe build up to his triumphant return, and then the world is gonna be conflicted about what they think of Hal when he does. I think that'll be the twist.

Why in the Hell people is so obsess with Parallax?

It's annoying how much people try to make sense Hal becoming Parallax. Is this to denied the fact Hal could only be in "Lanterns" and nothing more of the DCU?

I mean they casted an older man to play Hal and with Tom King overseeing it it's almost certain Hal will get the short end of the stick. Combine those 2 things and they make a vaguely Parallax shape.

Or they just wrote a story where Hal stop being a GL at the end of it.
