00:00Why does Caretaker disappear after his final transformation?
00:02Actually, his power does not come from Mephisto.
00:05According to the comics, Carter's power does not originate from the demon,
00:09but from the Spirit of Vengeance, the same entity that shares a body with Johnny Blaze.
00:13The movie changes the origin of Carter's power.
00:15Within its narrative universe, Carter and Johnny share the same source of power.
00:18Under these rules, they cannot transform into Ghost Rider simultaneously.
00:22The Spirit of Vengeance can only seek a new human host when the contract with
00:25the previous Ghost Rider expires. If Carter continued to exist as Ghost Rider,
00:29he would break the established rules. Therefore, the movie adopts an intermediate
00:32solution and grants him one final mission. This final mission is interpreted as a clash
00:36of powers between the old and the new Ghost Rider. They cannot coexist for long,
00:40and that is why Carter disappears after completing his final mission.
00:43However, there is a detail in this sequence that is easily overlooked.
00:46Carter severely injures the demons blocking the path,
00:49allowing Johnny to conserve his strength to face the remaining enemies.
00:52Previously, Carter broke his contract with Ghost Rider and hid in a cemetery to escape
00:56the demon's pursuit, severing his connection with his main source of power.
00:59That is why he is trading all the time he has left for this chance to transform.
