"Chris ventures into the alternate dimension in Peacemaker Season 2 Episode 5, closing the door behind him. HBO Max In a last-ditch effort to get away from A.R.G.U.S. and, perhaps more importantly, his problems, Chris escapes into the alternate universe forever, leaving the alien gateway behind for his friends Adebayo, Harcourt, Adrian, and John Economos to trade for clemency since they helped him hide out. But once he's gone, they decide to use it to get him back."
"Unfortunately, this alternate dimension may not be all it's cracked up to be. In fact, a leading fan theory suggests it may secretly be a fascist or white supremacist state. The evidence for this is a little hard to ignore - there are no non-white people in any of the scenes in the alternate universe, not even within the background extras."
"In the last four episodes, we've seen him crash out, try to run, and even hide out in an old cabin, but one hiding place has been especially useful: an alternate world where his family is intact and Rick Flag Jr. (Joel Kinnaman) is alive and well."
Christopher Smith repeatedly evades A.R.G.U.S. and Rick Flag Sr. by fleeing into an alternate universe where his family exists and Rick Flag Jr. is alive. After Chris permanently enters that realm, he leaves an alien gateway which his allies trade for clemency while later attempting to reclaim him. Observers note troubling absence of non-white people in the alternate world’s scenes, alongside praise for a father who is a known racist in the original world. These factors fuel a leading fan theory that the alternate universe functions as a fascist or white supremacist state.
