About character design

The connection between the Son of Evil and Green Lantern Hal has been mentioned in the article. Here is an explanation of why the two characters are added together. The character of the Devil's Son in the original film is that he doesn't want to hurt anyone. After knowing his identity, he disappears in order to protect his family. He chooses neither a devil nor an angel. Therefore, he is one of the few people in the original film who was not tricked to death by the Wen family. Anyone who has watched the original film knows that these two brothers only care about each other's life and death, and normal people will just stay as far away from them as possible. In addition, the time-travel setting is for the so-called sense of substitution. After all, the people who write and read the text are modern people with Eastern thinking. If I said that the protagonist is born a good person, I would probably be called a virgin, but it is impossible for me to write out the past life in order to establish the image of the protagonist, because everyone will read the story after time travel. So I regarded Hal's plot as a past life, played by a small actor. There will also be DC plots in the later period. Instead of following Hal's plot after traveling through time, it is better for Hal to reincarnate and change the plot. Green Lantern's abilities highly overlap with those of the Son of Evil, and the characters' backgrounds are similar. At least, people who know Hal will not question why the protagonist wants to save the world, because that's who he is. Maybe I wrote the first volume too quickly, but I should have explained the identity change clearly. If you don't like the setting but want to see the plot, just accept the relationship between the protagonist (Son of the Devil - Orphan from the East - Green Lantern). If you don't get hung up on the minutiae, you can go straight to the plot. If you're obsessed with abilities, you still have to look at how the protagonist develops his abilities in the first volume. If you didn't read the foreshadowing and asked me later why I wrote this, I would be really speechless.

About invincible flow and combat power

Recently, some comments mentioned that I designed the protagonist with invincible abilities in order to write a story and suppress his combat power. It's normal to say this if you don't know the original film. People who have watched the original film, or are willing to take the time to understand the setting instead of skipping ahead, should be able to figure out the character of the protagonist. The devil's son in the original film didn't want to hurt anyone, otherwise the angel would not have transformed into a figure, but would have exploded on the spot. The protagonist's experience is Green Lantern Hal - Parallax Demon - God of Light - Eastern Orphan - Son of the Devil. He has never been afraid of anyone. What he fears is that he cannot protect his family and hometown. Hal's psychological shadow is the destruction of Beach City and the disappearance of 7 million people. After reincarnating as Jesse, he instinctively puts his family first, so when he develops his ability, he is not concerned about self-protection, but how to protect more people. He limits himself to prevent his abilities from harming others unintentionally. When he can control his abilities, he will not be constrained when using them. As for what some people say about becoming God, the examples of the original God, the new God, and the light god Hal all show that God is not omnipotent and cannot even change the fate of the people he loves, so Hal gave up his godhood and continued to be a human being. The protagonist also insists on his human identity and does not let himself become a monster who does whatever he wants. Only by accepting the protagonist's setting can you enjoy the story better.

Explanation on the protagonist's ability settings

Many people got upset when they saw the settings and asked me to delete the settings and go straight to the plot. I appreciate your kindness, but I also explained in the article the shortcomings of the protagonist's abilities and why the protagonist needs to be limited. If I only look at abilities and don't consider the world background and the protagonist's character, I should write a system article with a systematic explanation of how to use abilities. But what I write is not a systematic article. The protagonist's ability cannot be defined in one sentence. Modifying reality sounds very high and invincible, but there is a scope limit in the original film. Angels can directly destroy an entire town just to kill one person, and God can even wipe out a world at will. The protagonist can run away on his own, but what about other people (the teleportation to other worlds was added by the protagonist himself, and there is no hint in the original film) If the protagonist wants to protect his family, it is best to disappear by himself as per the original film. This is the pre-plot of Wandering in the Sky, but the protagonist is not the kind of person who just runs away by himself. He has to stay behind to protect his family and even others. Because he did this, the lantern beasts that were secretly following him ran out. At first, they were mistaken by the protagonist as his own creations, and restrictions were set to prevent them from hurting people. Later, they discovered that something was wrong, and the parallax monster exploded on its own, so that the protagonist would leave quickly. If he didn't leave, an enemy more troublesome than the indigenous god would appear. I can't guarantee that all the choices of the protagonist are correct, but I wrote it based on the protagonist's personality. I originally hoped that everyone could help the protagonist check for mistakes and fill in the gaps, but many people were scared away by the settings. I don't expect everyone to like my way of writing, I just need some people to like the stories I write. Even for those people, I will finish telling this story. So if you don't like it, don't like it. Don't curse me for giving up, okay? Modifying reality with PS is not that simple. Changing the parameters casually will cause a world crisis, so the protagonist is very cautious in using it, and only boldly does it with the help of the mother box.

Phantasmal monster (similar to Boggart)

Introducing a bug monster, the Phantom Monster, from the first season of Evil. Its ability is to transform into something that witnesses are afraid of, and it can also possess the ability of the monster that witnesses are afraid of. This thing can only be killed by modifying collective cognition and adding weaknesses that can be killed. Therefore, the main purpose of modifying the settings of Japanese female ghosts is to prevent them from possessing the abilities that enthusiasts can imagine. If you read the text carefully, you can see that the Parallax monster appeared in the skin of a corn monster. When Jesse was unhappy, he took the initiative to shrink, so Jesse regarded it as his own creation. But the Sadako transformed by the ion shark rushed out on her own and didn't listen to Jesse's words to go back, so Jesse regarded her as an alien ghost. The transformation of Ion Shark into Sadako is caused by parallax monsters, including other lamp beasts. Parallax is originally the deviation caused by observation from different positions. So Lampmon is a Lampmon in the DC universe, but when it reaches evil power it will turn into a monster. When the Ion Shark comes out of TV, the protagonist's first reaction is Sadako. I also specifically wrote that Sadako is like a shark.

Viewer's Perspective and Character's Perspective

Because of the writing perspective, sometimes people may misunderstand the plot. Before the protagonist enters other worlds, he has always been from the perspective of a movie viewer, so he will complain about things he thinks are unreasonable. However, after he enters the movie world, the indigenous people he encounters all abide by the logic of the movie. The protagonist does not want to be rejected by the will of the world, but he must follow the local customs. However, the protagonist has the ability to modify reality. The more information he knows, the higher the success rate of modifying reality. We can discuss the plot of the movie based on reality, but it cannot be completely substituted for reality. The characters in the movie are still based on the logic of the movie. For example, political correctness cannot be correct in reality.
