"It's no secret that Chris Smith doesn't have everything going for him in his life. So far in Peacemaker, he's lost his brother, his dad, his girl, and A.R.G.U.S. is dead set on finding him for the murder of Rick Flag, Jr., a murder he's already torturing himself over. So when he discovers a door to an alternate dimension in his extra-dimensional lair, it seems like the perfect escape."
"In this world, he's part of a loving family, A.R.G.U.S. seems to be an office as chill as Dunder Mifflin's, he's got a sick motorcycle, and Rick Flag, Jr. is still alive. As Chris puts it, it's the "best dimension ever," but is everything really as idyllic as it seems? Some fans have noticed a glaring difference between the main dimension and this one. If it's true, then this dimension could be one of the worst in existence."
"HBO Max Peacemaker Season 2 Episode 3 is the first episode where we got a good look at what's going on in the alt-world, and it all seems pretty great. Chris takes his bike down to A.R.G.U.S., meets some adoring fans, takes Emilia Harcourt out for a hot dog, and saves the city from a terror attack. That's a pretty great day for a superhero, but as many fans have noticed, there was one thing missing: diversity."
Chris Smith has experienced major losses, including his brother, father, girlfriend, and faces A.R.G.U.S. pursuit for Rick Flag Jr.'s murder. He finds a door to an alternate dimension where he appears part of a loving family, A.R.G.U.S. operates like a chill office, he owns a desirable motorcycle, and Rick Flag Jr. is alive. The alternate world appears idyllic and labeled 'the best dimension ever,' but the world shows striking uniform whiteness: every character, background extra, billboard, and band poster is caucasian. The uniform whiteness has led to theories that the dimension represents a white supremacist fantasy rather than genuine diversity.
