I don't like "guy who sexually harasses women but actually is a nice guy" as a character flaw, but other than that it's really enjoyable. That wasn't my favorite part when it first happened, but it looks like Peacemaker learning to treat women better will be part of his character growth. And I think that is an interesting thing to depict in a show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 I've watched through episode 5 and this show is awesome. I came in expecting nothing because a Peacemaker show, really? But Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was one of those moments I didn't know I needed. I didn't know who Bat-mite is so I had to look it up and honestly seeing that they're willing to really keep going farther into the goofier side of DC comics than they already did in the last Suicide Squad movie is what got me interested to finally give this show a shot. On 1/18/2022 at 11:04 AM, brucoe said: Usually, I watch the opening credits to a show once and then skip through it every time after. With Peacemaker, I watch the opening number each time and enjoy it just as much. I skipped it on episodes 4 and 5 because I'm binging it but yeah I watched it the first three episodes, and usually I'd have only watched the first time.

NeoJoe Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Really fun show. Loved the intro a ton and thought this was way funnier than the latest SS. I do have a gripe with how the season ended. I felt like it stopped right before the climax of the story. Is it supposed to be a mid season finale or something? Feels so weird to end the current run like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoJoe Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 SHUT UP! OMG LMAO I had no idea. I really did think HBO released the entire series. First HBO series I've watched and I binged the 6 current episodes. Let me go clean this egg off my face. edit: Phew, I feel silly now but um... when do new episodes release on HBO?

Greatoneshere Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Today's episode really sold a lot of the pathos and emotional resolution we've been looking for without pulling any punches in terms of climactic confrontations. Another really good episode. I loved that Gunn purposefully made the neo-Nazis look like complete idiots in their white hoods and tablet bumbling around looking like posers.

Greatoneshere Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 I'm totally down for a season 2, so long as James Gunn is writing and directing almost every episode again, which it sounds like he will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal-El814 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Pretty solid ending to an entertaining season. I don’t know if I respect DC’s willingness to let its premier characters be shit on like happened with the cameo at the end of this episode? I wonder if the reason that the main DC universe heroes, outside Batman, haven’t really captured the public’s interest on film is because they don’t have anyone who can really stand up for and insist on the most enduring version of them like Feige does for Marvel. Also I wish we got more Judo Master. Anyway, lots of places they could go for season 2. If Peacemaker isn’t going to be willing to wantonly kill people anymore, I wonder if they’ll do more alien stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatoneshere Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Yeah good ending to an entertaining season - definitely looking forward to more Peacemaker with season 2.

I think it would come off a little different to me if the version of the Justice League we got wasn't you know... so bad.

SoberChef Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 I had moderate interest at best but still took a "wait & see" approach after a couple eps aired but holy hot fucking cheetos this show was awesometacular! Hats off to James, John, and all the rest of the team, can't wait for the 2nd season genuinely! Heartwarming, deep, thoughtful, amazingly brutal action scenes that did not pull any punches whatsoever. Who knew a character that I had no idea even existed before THE Suicide Squad could be so enchanting & charming, deep & funny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THIS ALL DAY! Having watched the first 3 back to back, I picked up on this immediately & in the days in between episodes going forward thereafter, I would have that theme song stuck in my head but it was glorious because I'd be analyzing the lyrics & then the following week I'd see that dance sequence & more & more pieces would fall into place. I have been a James Gunn fan for easily 20+ years but dare I say that THIS show is perhaps his best work yet & I love him all the more for it!
