I liked the season finale and think overall season 2 was a 7/10.
Nothing Happens: The Season
>>150764479>no heckin epic cameos to cry over>reee nothing happened
>>150764479>Chris gets through his emotional issues and finally gets with Harcourt>Lex being set free and has a direct line with ARGUS>ARGUS having a portal to send metahumans to Salvation>Adebayo forms Checkmate>Nothing happens because it didn’t end in a big dumb boss fightFiltered
>>150764484...luthor was not a epic cameo?
>>150764535Prediction: The first metahuman thrown into Salvation will have Peacemaker play the Virgil to their Dante. The first thing he says to them will be>Welcome to the jungle
>>150764535>Chris gets through his emotional issues and finally gets with HarcourtBo-ho the psychopath was sad.also he still is the same person,>Lex being set free and has a direct line with ARGUSThis could happen off-screen and be a surprise.>ARGUS having a portal to send metahumans to SalvationLex had his own dimension, and a prison, on the last movie>Adebayo forms Checkmateyey a bunch of idiots have a thing.
>>150764582>d-doesn't countEmbarrassing response.
>>150764591Stop eating paint, anon
>>150764582>Bo-ho the psychopath was sad.Nigga he’s the main character>also he still is the same personDidn’t pay attention award
Best part was Tim Meadows and this chick
>>150764535Wait, I must have missed that. Where did they say it was Checkmate?Also, do you think Terrific is willing to take Flag's sloppy seconds?
>>150764970>Where did they say it was Checkmate?On the CG sign near the end of the montage.
>fat>black>lesbianIn every other modern show Adebayo would be insufferable. Meanwhile she had two of the best scenes in this finale. I don't give a fuck about her wife, but that scene was great. Then her speech to Chris was also really good. I think she had the best acting this episode.
I really would've gathered Chris run and hide out to el paso and be mentor to Jaime. And when the showdown with reach, it's the 11th street kids who come in as reinforcements and vin is the one who says "that's right baby girl, I'm the crazy one"
Thought the story was uneven but the character work/acting/drama was very good. Kind of like Superman. It's better than season 2 in some regards and worse in others. I'd give season 1 an 8/10 and 2 a 7/10.
>>150764970Bordeaux is for BEC: BIG ECONOMOS COCK
>>150764535thanks for proving his point
Now that the dust has settled can we agree season 2's opening theme is better than season 1's?
>>150765197Goodbye, bizzaro anon
>>150765240It grew on me but and is more thematically relevant but do you want to taste it is still more hype for me
>>150765240not with the way it was used.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_mjan9GrQ4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QyJRPJRq4k
>>150764473>cried about nazis award>overacting award>wish we had the guy from Reacher instead award
>>150765182Yeah but no, I really really liked Sasha in Rucka's Detective Comics, OMAC, and Checkmate. She's got the cyborg stuff already. She went through the sorta pathetic crush on her boss, but this time she actually got to fuck. Now she gets to find love with the world's third smartest man.
>>150765240Maybe the song but dance choreography in 1 mogs it.
>>150765240No, because it's not.
>>150765047She's a lot slimmer in this season though.
>>150764473>Gunn shows off his taste in butt rock and nothing happens for an hourSo glad we get to wait for another 2 years
>>150766258still fat though
Didn't like the season really but it was a good finale and the actors are always endearing
idk if I'm seeing something completely different from every one else but I think S2 was utter trashI'm don't like Gunn's stuff in general but I do remember liking GoG 1 and 2 a fair bit. But after that, seems like he keeps repeating the same cliches that have become all of his own by this point>group of misfits who end up being endeering>Gunn's playlist top pics>daddy issues>highschool tier insults instead of actual comedy I genuinely don't understand what people like about this dude or his works. He does seem to hide behind C tier characters that are known enough that people can infer what the character is about but unknown enough to put his own terrible spin and call it an adaptationSuperman was such an odd movie bc it felt like it was going all kinds of places but never felt the need to actually establish the main characterAnd I'm really fucking tired of having to hear characters dick riding his music taste. I guess it's pretty cool being your own boss, you get paid for writting dog shit and make bank on it
I had to take a light smile at Judomaster wearing his cowl under the hazmat suit
>>150766700Judomaster never taking off his costume is great.
>>150766700everyone knows his secret identity is rip jagger and he still wears the suit lmaooo
>>150768042I imagine his closet looks something like this
>>150766686After some thought I agree with the anons who said Gunn is stretching himself way too thin and making the season suffer as a result. WB wants him to run their Not-MCU for him instead of throwing giant gobs of money at numerous different producers like Disney did. As a result the show somehow felt too compressed despite less shit happening than in S1.
>>150764473I liked that it wasnt a massive shootout or a CGI extravaganza, it was a character episode where most of the cast got some character development.Too bad it ended on a cliffhanger for a S3 that is going to take at least 2 years to come out, S1 had a more concise ending.Overall it wasnt a bad season, i liked it.
>>150768201obviously I don't know Gunn but he sure seems like he thinks himself the best guy for the job. As a producer, you have to take a step back and really pull your resources to get great talent for these many projects at once.I at least expect the guy who seems to be a people person to get unique picks. Even Feigie at MCU doesn't think himself that good to write and direct the movies.
>>150765047It’s almost like writing good characters helps people like the character.
>>150764473
>>150768476It’s hard for anything to beat the last shot of season 1. That’s probably my favorite moment in the entirety of the show
>>150769869Nice detail that they both do the same exact hug.
>>150769883I'm still bummed that Chris dealing with being haunted by his dad got resolved off-screen.
>>150766686The point of the Superman movie was to contrast Superman with other superheroes. You don’t really need to establish Superman because everyone knows who Superman is. What was important was how he was different from the other heroes and how deep down he’s just a guy trying his best.
>>150769965I get it. It was a decision made before James Gunn got full creative control at DC. It makes sense that he’d change his plans.
>>150766686I don't think that S2 was utter trash, but it wasn't as fun as S1. I still enjoyed it, but not as much. I acknowledge, though, that I don't really have a high bar for what entertains me - as a young man, I watched basically every Pauly Shore movie, by choice.
>>150768476>ended on a cliffhanger for S3Superman will save Peacemaker from Salvation in Man of Tomorrow. What I'm dreading is that Gunn takes the Disney approach of making a "Checkmate" miniseries that is a sequel to Peacemaker like Agatha/Vision Quest, instead of just making WandaVision season 2.
It was a weak season. But since I only watched season 1 recently, I feel pretty attuned to the characters and like their character arcs. Even if some resolutions feels shallow.
>>150769991I can understand not having to rehash certain parts of Superman bc he IS that well known, much like Batman and Spider-Man. However, the story still needs to develop its characters for us to have a better grasp of their inner world. Same thing with the MCU movies playing coy with the whole "with great power." We all know that the character as a concept has that as his ethos but you can't put the weight of development on something else bc the character ends up being empty. It took MCU 4 movies to get to that point and only in NWH did it make sense for that version of Peter to be the way he is, that being a hero and overcoming the struggle is worth it bc you get to save people by using your power wisely.The Superman movie not only didn't do that but left it to your imagination to pull explanations for a character that was contradicting himself. The worst mistake of that movie was not committing to the concept of heroes being held accountable. Feels weid for a movie that tries to play with the concept of Superman going against the propaganda of his parents to rule over the world to not question his methods of going to another country to act as he pleases and not bat an eye at one of his peer heroes killing a dictator like it was nothing. I don't get why this Superman would act like he did, or didn't act>>150770881it's alright to like what you like , not even a need to give explanations for it but I do wonder when the praise is being done over specifics like character work, the plot etc I do have to wonder if it's as good as people say. I did remember liking S1 but I also remember looking back on it with some bits that I was already tired from The Suicide Squad. I guess my biggest gripe is that this is a whole new take on the DC universe and this half-assed attempt is what we get?
>>150771096So, what James Gunn was doing with Superman was demystifying the Moses origins that Superman parallels. It’s not a coincidence that Superman’s parents are bad in this movie. The entire movie is anti supremacist. Superman’s parents are essentially the Israelis that want their son to join the IDF and take over Gaza. Superman himself is against this. It’s also why James Gunn went out of his way to actually cast a Jewish Superman. Thematically the whole thing is a critique on the Jewish supremacy you see in Israel. James Gunn himself is apparantly part Jewish as well. I agree that some parts of the writing are clunky, but the themes are stronger here than in most other Superman movies save the first one.
>Bros there's gonna be so many surprises in the season finale!Where were they?
'CAUSE YOU'RE FUCKING MY HEARTFUCKING MY HEARTFUCKING MY HEART IN THE ASS'CAUSE YOU'RE FUCKING MY HEARTFUCKING MY HEARTFUCKING MY HEART IN THE ASS'CAUSE YOU'RE FUCKING MY HEARTFUCKING MY HEARTFUCKING MY HEART IN THE ASS'CAUSE YOU'RE FUCKING MY HEARTFUCKING MY HEARTFUCKING MY HEART IN THE ASS'CAUSE YOU'RE FUCKING MY HEARTFUCKING MY HEARTFUCKING MY HEART IN THE ASS
>>150771474That song made me crack up.
>>150771421Checkmate, the prison planet, and whatever the hell is going on with Rick Flagg.
>>150771421You didn't want to see some shitty bands you've never heard off and the Imps mentioned in episode 2 raping a guy's face to death?
>>150771517I much preferred the soundtrack to creature commandos. Gogol Bordello is fun.
>>150769869>inb4 VigCest
Will peacemaker be full caveman mode with a helmet carved out of rock in his next appearance?
Gunn should really just make a music video because holy shit, this really didn't need all those needle drops.The one with the intro song was like the only good one.
>>150764473>Find earth-like planet with untapped resources>Air is completely clean>Zero other humans to compete with>The US government has it all to themselves>Use the ENTIRE dimension to store criminals instead of just fucking shooting them or throwing them through the black-hole doorI'm upset.
>>150771814Rick Flagg has almost certainly been replaced. He’s acting so weird.
>>150771474that was the best scene in the episode
I liked normal Auggie more than I like Rick Flagg
>>150771831Okay whatever but why did none of the other board members mention that>Oh holy shit there's free and nearly infinite fucking materials here, not to mention ample farmland, clean water, and literally everything we have here on earth but just for us!Instead their concerned about the morality or whatever the fuck about putting mass murderers in an open air prison the size of a planet.Oh, also, while I'm complaining, why the fuck does every TV show, animated or not, have only eight fucking episodes per season now? Remember back when shit had like twenty to thirty? What the hell are they doing that makes them take two years to make EIGHT episodes?
>>150771890I guess you can spin it as “meta humans have too much control and influence, the best thing to do is just get rid of them”. As far as the 8 season thing is concerned, it’s so that they can catch you in 3 payment cycles for the streaming service.
>>150771936Ahhhh that makes total sense, jewery.Also, again, why can't they just kill the super-humans? Just get some texan that runs the electric chair in his normal job to shove them through the black hole door or something.
>>150771987Laws I guess. It doesn’t really matter that much.
I guess Salvation's Run makes sense to do. It's like the one idea they could do and show on screen that won't get them directly compared to the MCU, as the MCU never adapted the Prison 42 part of Civil War.
>>150772002I mean it does matter because it's, again, an entire fucking planet that humans can live on and strip the resources of freely.That's like, half the point of space exploration in every sci-fi story and real life.Also laws sure as hell aren't a problem with them, since they abducted a free Peacemaker just in the street to shove him through the door.
>>150765240the song is better but s1 choreography fucking owns
>>150771241look man, I'll say again that I don't think I'm seeing the same thing the majority of the people are seeing. I also don't think I'm wrong bc I'm going on what the movie presents itself as.I don't dismiss your take on this movie apparently beign a commentary on Jewishness and Superman bc I think this movie is devoid of any meaningful metaphor or content to begin with. Heck, I can say that the movie is actually about might makes right so long as you are the cool guy everyone likes. Although a complete opposite from your take, iit's grounded in the story. At no point is Superman actually pressed on this from a critical standpoint and the ones who do are the comical villains who are only led by a baldie who has an unfounded hatred for Superman. I get that we all know these characters but I hope the movie have some balls to actually committ to talking about something and not let you do the work for it like a grand madlibs project. His actions are quickly tossed aside bc we have to establish the upcoming cool toys and at the very end, the question is not only unresolved but mocked when Hawkgirl gets to kill the dictator an no one bats an eye. Somehow we're supposed to feel good bc the kid waived a Superman flag, winking at Supes being allowed to get away with it and the JG by proxy since they turned around on him.I don't think this movie is doing what it thinks it's trying to do. I'm far from being anti American but I just shrug whenever an American movie tries to pat themselves on the back for thinking they're standing on something positive yet still be so oblivious as to prop-up the very thing being criticised. I also had to take a moment to appreciate the irony when actors on the red carpet where trying to make a stand on immigration bc apparently that's what the movie is about too.
>>150771890you also have to appreciate the sheer irony of the government guy calling Flag a hipocrite for following Lex's plans after shitting on him before when they're doing exactly thatI also thought it was tacked on for that final scene of Flag capturing Peacemaker and throwing him to that jail. Feels like something added much later since it doesn't follow anything and feels more like the show remembered that Flagg had a personal grudge on Chris
>>150772028although it certainly makes more sense to have the black hole as the perfect prison since you only need to toss them, the show really is going out of its way to be a cog in the DCU machine.The only reason Salvation is a thing is so that it can be a set up for Lex to use it later. So weird that the season finale had to quickly set the next thing and site step the cast
>>150771890I remember when shows had twenty to thirty episodes per season. Whenever I miss it I remind myself of shit like Star Trek Voyager's episode where they broke Warp 10 and regressed into newts or some shit.
Is it a good or a bad thing that pretty much everyone hates him and wants him to die horribly
Gunn says Salvation is going to be really important to the DCU. Did anyone give a shit about Salvation Run before this? Feels like he just picked it out of a hat. Why adapt that of all things?
>Literally this scene.
>>150773236You answered your own question, nobody cares about it so he can do his own version of it without spergs chimping out about it.
>>150773289Basically this plus he probably like the general idea of it
>>150773236Maybe it's something like.>Push idea of Supervillain prison>Current administration/Flag backs it.>Lex has his people already working on it so there's gonna be a backdoor>Cause a major break out event down the line>Use the break out/Salvation going tits up to kick start his Presidential campaign on Metahumans bad. Old regime failed. I'll show you what to do.>Superman 3 with President Lex by 2030 or 32
>>150764473R.i.P Kline
I wager some of Peacemaker’s first “cellmates” will be Luthor’s former neighbors that he overheard fucking in the next cell. The giant scales dude and the cartoon-eyed twink.
>>150773655
>>150773665Killer Croc and Phosphorous?
>>150773737Could be? We never got any confirmation, unless Gunn said something on his podcast.
>>150764473I'm shocked that so much of the finale was focused on the guy who sang the team chaotix theme from sonic heroes.
>>150773737Killer Croc maybe, but Phosphorous unlikely. He's still gotta be in Creature Commandos season 2, so unless CC S2 ends up being the next major continuation of the Salvation stuff with the Creature Commandos going door to door until they get tricked into Salvation, I doubt he's gonna wind up there. Especially with Gunn being less involved in that season
>>150765240Foxy Shazam is sick as fuck, but yeah, the S1 choreography is better.I heard someone mention once that in the first season's intro, you don't get any context for who these fuckers are, and that's what makes all of them dancing emotionless together really funny. S2 kind of messes with that.
>>150771890>>150771987It's halfway between "Let the metahumans run free and cause havoc " and "Literally fucking atomize supernigs with a death beam". Flagg's a cunt, but I think him wanting to deport metahumans to another planet where they mayyy survive and prosper is reasonable for his character.>>150771936Phew. Good thing I pirate all the episodes.
>>150773236The idea has potential and gives Gunn more opportunities to dig up oddball DC characters. Cynically, I wonder if they're doing dinosaurs to get more international interest.
>>150764473Literally half this season was just spinning the wheel. It's not terrible, there were good moments but I can't find it in my heart to feel disappointed. I'm kinda glad this was the last peacemaker season because continuing the trend would end up with straight trash.
>>150764473Any webm requests?
>>150774172My favorite wheel spin was "Good Auggie dies horribly, Keith is beaten and stabbed senseless and almost executed, we see Keith being loaded into an ambulance, then nothing happens next episode and Earth X might as well have not even been a thing"
>>150774135>The idea has potential and gives Gunn more opportunities to dig up oddball DC characters.It's the same thing he's done several times before. Ragtag group of antiheroes/villains forced to team up.
>>150774181zombie universe
So why did whatsherface go into that candy dimension with only three bullets in her gun?
>Chris gets dumped in a hawngry world that’s gonna eat him aliveBravo Nolan
>>150774237
>>150764473>>150772028Salvation Run happens right after World War III, which was the event The Rock's DCEU was building up to. That's kind of funny.
>>150774246Previous universes were empty, so they let their guard down seeing that the candy universe came off as a harmless terrain
Is Checkmate going to be the new HBO series Gunn was going to announce?
If I were Rick Flagg I’d have dropped all the supervillains in that screaming skull spider hellworld.
>>150774359I thiink he was looking for a universe that would legally not be deemed as cruel and unusual punishment to avoid it getting shitcanned
>>150774328Yup, that's grade F slop.
>>150764535AKA here is an entire season of things that could of been set up in two expository scenes in the next Superman. One about Salvation and one where after Supes gets tossed through the portal and meets Chris (which you know will happen) they have an offhand line about how Flag tossed him in there thanks to the death of his son.
>>150774345If I remember correctly, someitme between him becoming king of DCU and Peacemaker S2, plans where to have Amanda Waller head Checkmate and focus on her. I'm somewhat confident that it was one or the other, not both.I would have preferred Checkmate, after all Waller is one heavy hitter character and Viola Davis adds so much to this new universe and would be like a reverse Nick Fury
>>150764535Those are all setups, there needs to be a couple o arcs for a proper story to be told. This season was just filler of setups
>>150774662Has Waller ever been head of Checkmate in the comics though?
Just watching the second season nowThis is the BEST deconstruction of superheroes ever. the way they swapped the cameos in the start to be DCU instead of DCEU is greatDo they ever realize Vigilante has super powers?
>>150765240Yes. It was better. The first one was a novelty, and some of the dancing hinted at the storyline, but the second season intro had a much more contextually appropriate song, and suited the darker tone well.
I kinda hate that there was zero payoff to the weird alien dude. It feels like one of many small annoyances that built into a bit of a bitter taste as the season ended.Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed some aspects of the season, but compared to the first it felt a bit like an aimless kaleidoscope of blueballing.One last thing: for all the complaints about the animal facts jokes, I found Adrian screaming at his mom way more grating,
>>150774938so far.All the characters will return. Peacemaker is now the headliner for the DCU, there is a non zero chance that guy will return as a plot point
>>150765334>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QyJRPJRq4kHow many of those extras had to be paid extra or offered more food vouchers to pretend to be that excited on the crowded boat while they suffered through the dinosaur rock tastes of a white guy who keeps failing upwards?
>>150774181Chris getting sent to prison universe
>>150772870And those days they spent like 6-9 months of the year shooting the shows, as well as airing the episodes while in the of producing the current season. And they had to stop airing the shows occasionally for a week or two because they had caught up to production and were not done shooting the remaining episodes yet. And you would have entirely pointless filler episodes that existed to recycle old footage or take entirely place in an isolated location because that was a way to buy time for the production to pump out new episodes without spending much resources or time making them.
Did we realy need ALL of Luthor's henchmen added to the cast? The show was all over the place as it is
>>150775230They barely have screen time, they’re glorified background actors.
>>150775103
oh that is a whole penisthat's a lot of penises of various sizesonly one of them is even close to my huge cock
>>150775506>Wait, that isn't Boo's door>I know, it's yours.
>>150764473>Earth X wasn’t liberated or destroyed>Not!Israel in the main universe is still wrecked after the Justice Gang stomped on itUm, based?
>>150775230They had a couple of scenes and it was a really simple way to show how Luthor basically took over the operation, I'm sure much like the scene with Lex it was filmed as they were doing the movie so why not? I thought it was pretty good seeing the "regular" ARGUS guys doing the shit jobs and getting killed while Luthorcorp goons just sat back.Rick Sr has always been an idiot and he basically became a Lex puppet and any decent allies he could maybe count on left for Checkmate all to get a "win" over Peacemaker.I actually want to see Waller come back and clean up this whole damn mess.I dont think there's enough interest for a Checkmate series or anything like that and I dont think we'll see the payoff for Salvation for at least a couple of years. It's not like there arent a few metahumans to shove in there, we've seen plenty in Creature Commandos but there have to be some actually interesting prisioners although I really want to see Animal-Vegetable-Mineral Man being used in live action again loved to see im in Doom Patrol too.Also Gunn dont you let this die before we get Mr Mind, I have been fucked over long enough after they teased it with the first Shazam movie.
>>150769869>>150769923It’s the Entourage hug it out hug.
>>150771508All Steel Panther is fantastic.
>>150771831I figured something was wrong with him when he used super strength to almost beat Peacemaker to death with his hands.
>>150775560I love how Rick Sr at no point blames Waller for the death of Ricky even thought is was her exact order.
Ok, season 3 ideasThey end up in Earth Y where the Communists won the cold war. The Red Dragon, Peace Keeper, and Commandant Triumph come to help them.
>>150775599OK, another ideaA new character, maybe someone who is the complete opposite of Vigilante. At some point he asks Chris about his exploding bullets. Chris brags that his dad invented them. "Have you ever been to Corto Maltese?""what? how did you""my brother was a mercenary, he was shot by an exploding 50AE""oh... uhhh"but he's completely neutral about it. His brother was a mercenary, it was nothing personal. it just comes with the job. I like the idea that this character gets along SUPER WELL with Vigilante,
>>150765047She is insufferable, but so is every other character.
>>150775616season 4 ideaThey end up in Earth Z where the Japanese manage to winThe Divine Wind Dragon, Peacedeliverer, Captain Victory come to help him. The twist is that Peacemaker's mom is alive in that world. And Ohgi san is Japanese.
>>150774674She was the White Queen in One Year Later. She’s also the one who originally creates the organisation that ultimately turns into Checkmate
>>150775769What was the organization before checkmate?
>>150775917the Agency.checkmate as book wasnt particularly remarkable
fuck you Gunn. you made me care about Fat Black Lesbian.
Minimal fix to the episode:Cut one of the boat montages, cut the bit about Adebayo's wife, end the Checkmate montage on an actual op with Peacemaker, Judomaster and Vigilante in the field so we can actually see what Checkmate is about. Some light bickering between the three but the op is successful. ARGUS nabs Chris in next scene while he's still in his suit with his gear and throws him into Salvation with all his shit as a courtesy. That way we get a little more action and Peacemaker is actually in his fucking suit for more than a scene in the entire season (not including earth x suit) and he can be in suit next time we see him
>>150764539Not really
>>150774181I have fanart requests
>>150775998People pay lip-service to Ostrander's Suicide Squad, but none of the spy or spy-adjacent fiction from that era (Vigilante, Titans, Deathstroke, Suicide Squad, Checkmate, Manhunter, etc.) gets the respect it deserves.
>>150775717Wrong
>>150765047>>fat>>blackMmm-hmmm
>>150764473How did Flag kick the shit out of Peacemaker so easily?
>>150776535It was super cowardly that they didn't just have him yell nigger. The father did it like twice in the first season.
>>150776658he refused to. He also didn't want to do that scene at all
>>150776681Then why even have him be the guy to yell it? It could have been just any random mother fucker, with him joining in the chase later.
>>150776684Because they want him to be an Antagonist in future projects
Triumph is 100% right to hate peacemaker.Killed his brother, killed his dad, fucked up his whole life.Peacemaker has killed every member of his family. Himself, His dad, His brother
>>150773737>>150773755gunn actually did confirm its NOT phosphorous on twitterhavent heard anything on croc though
>>150774900>Do they ever realize Vigilante has super powers?does he?
>>150776535>>150776658
>>150765240I like Wigwam more as a band
>>150778065How is she speaking in censor bars, is she Deadpool?
>>150776118like AI?
>>150776681>He also didn't want to do that scene at allJames Gunn asked Danielle Brooks(Adebayo's actress) if she was fine filming a scene where she runs away from a white mob that wants to lynch her, and she was cool with it.But this white boy didn't want to do the scene at all. Edward Norton or Daniel Radcliffe would have acted their heart out.
>>150777812healing factor when he sleeps, he's also aging slower, hence his delayed puberty. Multiple times in the first season he was badly injured and completely recovered after a sleep
>>150778893>he was badly injured and completely recovered after a sleepWhether it is part of the joke or convenience, people are just stupidly durable in Gunn-verse. Peacemaker survived getting shot in the jugular. Harcourt and Flag got spinal injuries but are walking and running just fine after rehab, Judomaster got his head caved in with a tire iron, shot in the chest, electrocuted and he is fine. It's stupid that Harcourt got suspicious of Murn for shrugging off a c4 explosion in season 1.
>>150764473Since this is (post) Infinite Crisis era Checkmate who do you think we'll get to see Fire join up? Also:Ads>is filling in for her mom's positionJudomaster> is probably filling in for his son's position (because he's gay)Economos>Maybe Alan Scott's positionSsha Bordeaux>probably the sameHarcourt>The ginger one or even VertigoEtc.
>>150765240I wish James Gunn stopped snipping his own farts with hiscmusic taste and forcing needle drops on the audience with every project. It's getting annoying.
>>150779091Vertigo was an anti hero?
>>150779091>Fire join upwhatConsidering how much Gunn botched Creature Commando, and Peacemaker's group of friends, I don't want to see DC add or do anything with Checkmate beyond mentioning them in passing with "they are doing fine for themselves as a pseudo a-team of the universe"
>>150776535Star Trek Discovery's "Black Alert" came to mind.
>>150779405I dunno man, I feel like phase once of the DCEU will end up with Janus directive
>>150779353He barely did it in Superman.
>>150776138I think it is about to hit a major surge, because with Checkmate in place, and Waller outed as head of Argus, I feel they have set up for a specific storyline in the Waller tv show
>>150774181vigilante tacking chris
>>150779353>snipping his own fartsRaj...
>>150764473Season finale was pretty mid.
>>150779374Yes
>>150775506why Chris haft-ass resists? Just go or try to escape
Anyone got a gif of Chris seeing the flag and saying "fuck me."? Funniest part is how he never once noticed any of this.
>>150781027>or the MURAL TO HITLER ON THE WALL
>>150781144That was clearly where the water cooler is. He brings his own water bottle with him so he never had a reason to look over there.

>>150776658I'm gonna be honest. It actually kinda fits.The n-word only really has prominence as a slur and only really gained such prominence during the 20th century as racial tensions rose and white supremacists figured out which words offended the best. In a world where white supremacy won out and the black populace was removed from the public space before the civil rights movement even took off? The likely word he'd use would be "negro" which was simply the common descriptive word of the 1930s and 40s and only became offensive because of its proximity and associations to nigger by around the 1970s
>>150779353I don’t get why he’s so set on making people like dad rock.
>>150781144that was a prime simpsons-tier gag desu
>>150780674The scene is a bit shaky so not sure if the webm made it worse or not
>>150781008He wasnt sure where they were taking him
>>150781144
>>150781568>pranked you bestie
>>150781027
>>150779651The whole punk rock and the band (which Gunn even forced into cringe t-shirts which are on sale, and posters for that fake band tour).
>>150781648>going to the parallel dimension where kanye west won the 2020 election
>>150764535>>150764479>>150765197>NOTHING INTERESTING HAPPENS - THE SEASON
>>150778827Paul Dano would've fucking killed it and done an unscripted musical number to liven up the scene. He would've been a latter-day Kubrick about getting the scene perfect.
>>150764473>james gunn flick>heroes are crazy with psycopath tendencies>they love fm rock>look it's gory violence... violence is le funny!>they do shitty things but they love each others>walk up in slowmotion togetherAm I the only one tired by that shit?
>>150783885I am too but I sure am happy to see it last for at least a decade until the next reboot
>>150779701>Janus DirectiveIsn’t that how we got Judge Dredd and Rico?
Can we all agree streaming killed tv? A show having 8 episode seasons with years in-between is miserable.
>>150786254
how much budget did they waste on goblins face fucking Tim Meadows?
>>150783885Somewhere in there, Troma Gunn is controlling current Gunn's brain but can't go as far as he wants with violence and obscenity now that he works in mainstream filmmaking>>150786332It's not correlation, anon. The 8 episode season is based around the concept of allowing bingewatching on a streaming platform.
I strongly dislike Harcourt, and I can’t imagine how bogged her actress will look in 2 years
>>150765240JULIAN
>>150786912Personally, I hope she goes full bimbo with massive lips and fake tits.
>>150781144>>150781606>>150781027I love how his reaction to the Hitler Mural(tm) is more general confusion rather than concern or worry
>>150774662>>150774345I feel like that's gonna be Gunn's way to weasel out of the resolution - he said *Peacemaker* isn't getting a season 3 but that doesn't mean the Checkmate show won't resolve it
>>150781606I know people give Chris a lot of shit for this, but Harcourt apparently also didn't notice the mural until the joke called for itThat, or she saw it on the way in and still thought it was just "suspicious" that everyone was white, which might be even stupiderChris was only there twice before the reveal. One time when he was reeling from alt Flag being alive, and one time to pick up alt Harcourt to take her out to dinner in the cold open of e6(?)
>>150787048BECAUSE HOW DO YOU MISS THAT?
>>150788500He was too locked in on the tradwife version of his crush
>>150773655Justice for Kewpie!
>>150781493Better than zoomer shit.
>>150771814It's so stupid that it goes all the other way around becomes believable a glowie agency would ok it.
Why were they so mean?
they really should have combined one of the earlier episodes, then use that and half of the finale as a boss battle with the 11tsk vs Earth X military before the being saved by Augie scene , then have Foxy Shazam concert as series end credit interlaced with the capture and trapping with no dialogue.
>>150786254Netflix in particular killed by TV by pushing an unstainable business model that only worked because the investor hype of Netflix killing Cable like they said they would keeping them in the green.Then after cable was "dead" and they couldn't run off of hype anymore Netflix financially was gouged and in the aftermath we have cable but shiftier outside of choosing what you watch.I miss 25 minute 20+ episode long seasons bros, the character work that filler allowed made things so much better.
>>150764473It was gay and so are you
>>150789781and Disney killed Streaming by breaking out of netflix and just recreating cable TV, fucking everybody up.piracy wins

>>150764866Eat a salad bitch
>>150789546A small part of me really wanted her to become relevant to the plot later in the season. Obscure characters need more love.
>>150786931IT'S A HUNGRY WORLD
>>150789546Post more White Rabbit please.
>>150789546What are the chances of her having recorded the verbal harassment with her phone thus getting some monetary compensation in the future via settling out of court

>>150764473>Gunn movies are minimal to no Woke>Gunn shows are Woke shitfestsWhat causes this discrepancy?
>>150792076old gunn movies were basednu-gunn is woke
>>150786775Too much of it. I'd rather we saw the 5th Dimension with Mxy and Bat-Mite if we're going to spend millions on useless cameos.
>>150792011>Ads out for a walk in Modern America>It's insanely clean, all the lawns are well kempt, it looks like a brand new neighborhoodwhat did Gunn mean by this
>>150792173Americans learned how to mow the lawn after illegalizing mexicans
>>150789447I’d rather listen to shit they play in clubs than Gunn’s butt rockWhy not play at least play HH by Ye in Nazi world?
