From what he could see at the destroyed Mount Justice, it was the same sight the Leaguers saw. That they were too late. They weren't, they just see a bad picture of a good day.

We saw the exact perspective that Neutron had in the Leaguers, an incorrect one, meaning there's really no reason to assume the future remained unchanged. This is why I was saying that Neutron was surely looking out beyond Mount Justice when he said those last lines. And even if he wasn't, why would the writers leave that scene unaddressed at the end of the season? Why didn't they show him in the future being corrected by someone later in the season, just like the League was corrected by the YJ team? And don't say anything about building up suspense because writers don't intentionally build up that kind of suspense for that long unless it's leading up to something big. We cannot assume anything that contradicts what has been shown and stated in the show until it gets addressed later on. And what has been shown and stated in that scene is clearly a new dystopian future that has replaced the post-Reach apocalyptic future. It's as simple as that. Don't try to twist it into something that it isn't.
