Everyone still remembered the paragons as if they always existed on Earth-Prime. Marv remembered a lot of team-ups between Flash and Supergirl. Lex Luthor got a Nobel Peace Prize and owned the DEO, with a lot of respect which cannot be accomplished at someone's first day at a new place, meaning there must have been a good Lex Luthor on Earth-Prime that now has his mind taken over by the Earth-38 villain. If the paragons were never a part of Earth-Prime because Earth-Prime was newly created, that begs the question of everyone else. Is everyone really new people, or are they resurrected Crisis victims? If they are really people who lived their lives on Earth-Prime, then wouldn't that mean the paragons who are not getting Earth-Prime pages existed? The people who J'onn gave memories to are getting new pages even though they are essentially the pre-crisis people, but the paragons don't? I really don't understand the exception surrounding the paragons.
