Opening (first 30 seconds)
When Hal Jordan was revealed to be dead in Lanterns, there were a lot of reactions. Some people thought the writers just hated Hal, and this was the final straw of humiliation. Some people took the opportunity to grift, like they always do. >> It's like, "Oh my god, enough!" Enough. Tired of it. Tired of it. So tired of it. I'm so tired of it. >> And some people, like myself, never believed he was dead, and I'll prove it in this video. >> I'll get you out of there. Oh my gosh, my hands ARE STUCK. MY LEGS ARE stuck as well. >> I super hate you. >> Let's

When Hal Jordan was revealed to be dead in Lanterns, there were a lot of reactions. Some people thought the writers just hated Hal, and this was the final straw of humiliation. Some people took the opportunity to grift, like they always do. >> It's like, "Oh my god, enough!" Enough. Tired of it. Tired of it. So tired of it. I'm so tired of it. >> And some people, like myself, never believed he was dead, and I'll prove it in this video. >> I'll get you out of there.
Oh my gosh, my hands ARE STUCK. MY LEGS ARE stuck as well. >> I super hate you. >> Let's begin with what we got in episode 1. Hal's body is sitting in the stadium in Rushville. John checks his finger, but the ring is gone. He has a broken nose and has been shot in the head. From episode 5, we know Hal shouldn't have the ring because John gave it to the Guardian Lyana. And since John didn't want to take it and Hal got sent to jail, you'd think the Guardians would just give the ring to somebody else.
And I know what you're thinking, "Oh, they gave it to Guy Gardner." But that can't be true. Guy's ring looks nothing like Hal's. Of course, it could have changed appearances when he got it, but that also doesn't make sense. In trailers, we see John having it later on, and it looks like Hal's. Why would it change how it looks again? Plus, John has the Halogram here. If Guy had claimed the ring, it would have changed to the Guyogram. >> Damn.
Who drew that? The trainee. >> So, if Guy's ring isn't Hal's, why did they say >> At the end of this episode, Hal's dead, but also you see John saying he's not wearing that ring. Guy has the ring. >> on the Lanterns podcast. The only thing that would make sense is if Guy just has it in his possession, and I have a theory on that that I'll get into later. So, if I don't think Hal is dead, how do I explain the corpse with a bullet hole in his head?
Well, this shot in the new trailer explains everything. We see Hal lying on the floor with the same mark on his arm John had from the Manhunter healing machine. Then someone walks in, and Hal asks, >> Who are you? >> And if you look closely, the person walking in has Hal's boots from 2016. >> Can't get much worse than this. >> Uh hello, neighbor. >> Oh, no. >> It's Green Lantern. Oh my gosh, we're roommates. How crazy is that?
Does anyone have some kryptonite that they can give me? So, there's two Hals and neither are the hologram. I mean, this one could be, but we never see the hologram shoes and it doesn't look like the same jacket anyway. And looking at the doorway, we see the plastic things from the slaughterhouse. And when I saw that, it clicked for me. The slaughterhouse has a sign that says >> We can judge a heart of a man by his treatment of animals. >> That's a weird thing to have at a slaughterhouse.
You'd think if the owner of the slaughterhouse put that up, they'd be a really violent person. But Hector doesn't seem like that. Maybe he thinks it's more ethical because he's using lasers, but at the end of the day, you're still killing the cow. I think the real reason is that he's using cloned cows. It's just the same cow being killed over and over, which is why he thinks it's more ethical. And that's why the workers are acting weird because they're clones.
So, who's cloning Hal and why? I think it's pretty obvious. It's Noah Makin. He would be around 20 years old by now and has apparently been taught something by his Manhunter grandma. I think he set up the dead clone to lure John to Rushfield to get revenge for Zoe. The only thing that doesn't make sense is why he would keep the real Hal alive. Maybe he was planning on killing him, but he escaped. I'm not too sold on that, but I can't really think of anything else.
If you have any ideas, let me know. So, how does Leona's plan fit into this? Because something is going on with her. Like I said in my last video, she's been lying to John and his parents. Of course, I said she was behind the Manhunter stuff and I was wrong. But that actually opens a new possibility I didn't think of. Sinestro knows who John Stewart is. How? He's in prison on an alien planet. Who is he hearing about him from?
Well, now that Leona is pretty much confirmed to not be involved with the Manhunter that killed Adam and Sir, there isn't really a big conflict between her and Sinestro, so they could be working together. I think their goal is to make Hal's fears take control of him, whether that involves Paralax or not. Sinestro was powerful enough to kill a guardian and Hal defeated Sinestro. If they could turn Hal against the Guardians, they could take control and rule the universe through fear.
But how does John relate to this? Well, he might just be part of Leona's experiment. Is it easier to control someone who's fearful or fearless? I definitely think she knows more about humans than she lets on. So then what's going on with the ring? I said I had a theory about why Guy has it. Well, I think the reason he got his own instead of Hal's is probably because Parallax is in it and Leona didn't want Guy involved with her plan at all.
But now that her plan is in motion, she gave it to Guy to give to John so that he can be led to wherever the yellow rings are being made. But I think Sinestro will betray Leona and kill her once the rings are made because I doubt Sinestro would want to be second The only thing that doesn't make sense is how Hal being cloned fits into all this yellow lantern stuff. I can't really see a connection, but I know there has to be one.
Like I said, let me know if you have any ideas. Yeah, that's all I got. Like the video if you liked it and subscribe if you also liked it and bye. >> In brightest day, in blackest night, >> no evil shall escape my sight. >> Let those who [music] worship evil's might >> beware my power, Green Lantern's light! >> [music] [music] >> I've seen stranger. >> Blackest >> night.
