Lanterns Just Revealed What Will Macon REALLY Is

Everyone is asking the same question after Lanterns Episode 2: *Is Will Macon the Manhunter?* But I think we're asking the wrong question. Episode 2 gives us a much stranger possibility. Will Macon may not be the Manhunter at all — he may be the human being the Manhunter has recruited without him even knowing it. His militia. The alien-detection technology. The mysterious benefactor who owns the land. The NDA. The way Macon talks about an alien invasion. And Hal Jordan's realization that *“the benefactor's the key.”* Then there's the comics history. Manhunters don't necessarily need to hide alone. They have a history of using living followers and building networks around themselves. So what if Rushville isn't protecting one hidden alien? What if it's protecting an entire operation? In this video, we break down the clues from Lanterns Episodes 1 and 2, the Manhunter's method, Will Macon's ideology, the mysterious benefactor, and why Macon could be the perfect recruit precisely because he has no idea he's being used. *Note:* Comics material is clearly separated from what the HBO series has actually confirmed. The theory about Macon being a recruit and the benefactor being connected to the Manhunter remains speculation. lanterns episode 2 explained, lanterns episode 2 theory, lanterns will macon theory, will macon manhunter, will macon lanterns, lanterns manhunter theory, who is the manhunter lanterns, lanterns benefactor explained, lanterns benefactor theory, lanterns episode 2 ending explained, lanterns episode 2 breakdown, lanterns theories, green lantern manhunters, manhunters explained, lanterns HBO, lanterns DCU, hal jordan, john stewart, sinestro, will macon explained, lanterns episode 3 theories
