Hal Jordan's death, John Stewart's new Green Lantern oath and the controversial DCU season finale leave plenty of unanswered questions. Did Kyle Chandler's Hal Jordan deserve a better ending?
Did John Stewart actually become a better Green Lantern because of Hal, or did the Guardians, Sinestro and the Manhunters push him towards an entirely different path?
In this Fandom Portals breakdown, Aaron and Brash debate the Lanterns Season 1 finale, including Carrie's decision to kill Hal Jordan, the strange relationship between John Stewart and the Halogram, and whether the final episode was rushed. We explore Aaron Pierre's performance as John Stewart, his new Green Lantern oath, Sinestro's possible Yellow Lantern future, Noah's Manhunter programming and the choices that could shape the DCU going forward. Most importantly, we ask whether Lanterns succeeded at exploring fear, mentorship and breaking away from the expectations we inherit.

Aaron and Brash disagree about whether the Halogram represents genuine growth in Hal's character or simply gives John the mentorship he never received from the older Hal Jordan.
And with John Stewart now choosing his own path outside the Guardians' authority, could he end up repeating the same mistakes that destroyed Hal's career?
