Did The Lanterns Finale Ruin Hal & Turn John Stewart Into A Villain? (Trash Finale)

The Lanterns Season 1 finale is officially here, and while the series established a solid baseline, did the ending actually deliver on its promises, or did we just get edged? In this video, I break down why the finale felt so underwhelming, from the lack of cosmic stakes and messy writing to the controversial handling of Hal Jordan's legacy. We’ll also discuss the "Dark Lantern" theory surrounding John Stewart’s new battery, and what the behind-the-scenes creative shifts with showrunner Chris Mundy mean for the future of Season 2.
