And although things fell apart with his Emelia Harcourt (Jennifer Holland), it seems she\u2019s more than willing to try to make things work. The cherry on top is that Peacemaker is a beloved superhero in this world, famous as part of the crime-fighting Top Trio, along with his dad and brother.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">But one Instagram user by the name of<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/isuperebba\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:isuperbba;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \"> isuperbba<\/a> believes the alt-world is very much the opposite of perfect, and in fact is a world ruled by white supremacists. Perhaps even a world where the Nazis won World War II. He presents his case below, and he\u2019s definitely got us convinced.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">After watching the third episode of <em>Peacemaker<\/em> season two, and spending a good amount of time <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/nerdist.com\/article\/peacemaker-quantum-unfolding-chamber-wasnt-always-major-plot-point\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:in the alt-world;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">in the alt-world<\/a>, we think this theory is almost certainly true. So far, every background character in town we see, as well as every single A.R.G.U.S. agent, is Caucasian. Peacemaker\u2019s father isn\u2019t angry and abusive because why would he be in this world? On this Earth, having hateful views is the norm, and he wouldn\u2019t be a pariah; he\u2019d be a hero. Even the rock music posters on Chris\u2019s wall in the alt-world are only bands fronted by white artists. The circumstantial evidence is fairly overwhelming.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p><em>HBO Max\/DC Comics<\/em><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Then there\u2019s the newspaper clipping that shows the Top Trio defeating the Rainbow Creature.
