Well that ending sucked
>>215155980James Gunn just ruined his popularity in one single episode Even the fags on X hate him now
>>215156254You mean didn’t enjoy ten minutes of watching some troon band that nobody but Gunn has ever heard of? Wtk2a
>>215155980it was a music video + flag out of character to set him up as the main baddy of DC Prison Arc
>>215155980George R.R. Martin created Salvation planet where they put super villains
I expected more door openings and more cool alternate dimensions, I couldn't give a shit about cameos or guest appearances, I just like seeing the possibilities of different realities.The concert parts sucked major ass, who the fuck thought 5 minutes of "romance" were necessary, as usual Vigilante is the best part of the show and although I liked how he's playing Peach, they just did it because muh expectations
So there's an alternate Nazi Earth with thousands of people in prison camps and they're just... not gonna deal with it for years and years (if ever) because this Checkmate/Salvation storyline comes first. lmao
>outruns an entire neighborhood of fit white "nazis">not a single slur yelledmy suspension of disbelief only goes so far mr gunn
I am left feeling so confused. Season 2 was so good and then that final episode. Leaving if off that way, knowing there was a huge likelihood that we wont ever see peacemaker season 3. It was all just set up for the next superman. Poor Chris man, even in his own show, he gets fucking sidelined. Sure he kind of got a happy ending, they all kind of did, but then the door at the end. God I fucking hate cheap cliff hangers like that. And I hate to say it, cause I liked her character, but it really felt like the Harcourt show. Literally everything revolved around her and her relationship to Chris.
>>215155980I liked it ending with Abadadooo staring her own company (though it seems more like Hero Hotline than Checkmate) with Vigilante, Peace, Hardcore, Cyber Lady, and Tim Meadows.PeaceMaker getting stuck on another planet is lame since there is no season 3.
>>215156412How can you expect people to clean up a whole other world when people can't even clean their fucking rooms.
>>215156376
>>215156412They don't know the code/they are aware of the danger/Rick Flag just wanted revenge and used the prison thing as an excuse
>>215156440Harcourt is the best tho
>using the entire DC brand as an excuse to hang out with bands that are obscure enough that wouldve done anything anyway
>>215155980He flew to close to the sky by turning this entire season in a character study of a dumb, but good hearted, meathead with a nazi dad...but if he would have crammed stupid cameos on the last two eps it would have been enough for the capeshitter audience.Literally nobody that is not a comic nerd knows what the fuck Checkmate means or that the prison planet is a direct reference to a terrible bad story...and most of my normie friends did not noticed that Flagg is literally not the real Flagg...
>>215156440Seems like Gunn succeeded at getting people to care about a “who?” character. Fact is season 1 was just a pet project Gunn did when he was bored during Covid before filming GOTG3. Gunn likely only did season 2 and HBO allowed it so it could expand his new DCU universe. People bitch they’re tired of seeing the same characters and remakes but that’s all they watch. Season 1 of Peacemaker was a great yet nobody watched it. Yet they will watch a Sopranos knock off show with The Penguin name slapped on it. Or a shit teen show with Wednesday and Adam’s Family IP slapped on it
>>215156565Elaborate on everything, I know fuckall about comics
>>215156440Peacemaker s3 is gonna be liteally Checkmate S1.>>215156547tbqh thats based af
He has a mandate from Zaslov and all the money he wants. 10 years of Gunn at least.
>>215156593Checkmate is a big spy agency in the 80s, then it becomes the secret service for President Lex, then it gets hickjacked by Max Lord and turned into a cape killer army that has a cybervirus that turns you into a capekiller robot, Sasha is one of them but has control of the virus so she does not turn, then it becomes again a spy agency lead by Sasha and Mr Terrific with Waller...then the universe gets reboted, Bendis happens and tries to ruin the concept with his bullshit and now is more or less again under Max Lord control with the dark gods of Apokolis after the death of Darkseid...and thats more or less 25 years of comic bullshit.
>>215156667Oh i want to add that the Checkmate comics by Rucka are fucking great...and the 80s ones are pretty fun, like Vigilante 80s series.
>>215156667Yeah...I still don't understand what's going on, sorry for asking
>>215156667this is all much worse than anything Gunn has been doing and he will thankfully feel free to change or repurpose it.
>>215156422>I'll escape them by jumping into this 10x20 pool and swimming across, all 50 of them will obviously just jump in after me instead of just going around on foot>wow it worked!
>>215156752He is probably getting a ton of inspiration from the mid2000s DC and the 80s DC and remixing shit, personally i'm ok with that.>>215156777He probably has Infinite Crisis as his Endgame in a decade, so its gonna get fucky af...DC is insanely more complicated than Marvel, which is kinda its charm.
>>215156835Yeah wtf, also "electrocuting anyone with a telephone line".
>>215155980Felt like they should have had that epilogue episode and the half hour one from last week's runtime the otherway round, but the episode itself was decent. But still it was a good episode eben if it wasn't the most exciting one.
>>215156254Good this show sucks balls he took everything bad about s1 and just padded it with the same shit
>>215156440Gunn has this annoying tendency to make all his male characters massive simps. Only exception was with Superman where Lois was way more into him and in denial. She where she tells Mr Terrific that she was thinking about breaking up with Superman and he looks at her likes dumbest out of her mind bitch
While I liked most of the show, this entire season really shows the DCU won't be lasting long The tone shift between this and superman is WILD and I feel like it's going to turn people offIn one movie a character will be kind and nice and suddenly in a different show they're a complete shitheadSupergirl's 5 seconds in superman is what made me initially think this but seeing the justice gang and lex talking about anal sex here really cemented it
>>215156422i like how even in confirmed alternate nazi america you still won't call them nazisfucking pussy
>>215155980it wasn't what people were expecting and it was too drawn out, but it was also necessary resolution and setup and I wouldn't say it was "bad" really. the worst thing was feeling like we were forced to watch Gunn film a date with his wife with Cena as a stand-in. he also can't figure out how to make Harcourt feel like the same character when she's being feminine vs a girlboss.
He made the peace, but at what cost?
>there won't be Peacemaker Season 3 because he will be pushing these shit characters even more into everything else in this universeI'm glad it won't last
>>215156254retard blew millions of dollars giving himself two different personal concerts what a fucking retard
>>215157394If you had the chance to force Bing Chilling to dance to your favorite songs, would you do it?
5,6 and 7 were the best episodes, the First four could be condensed into 2 episodes and I feel likethe finale needed more time for some stuff.
>>215156295Yeahhhh like the music in Guardians of the galaxy was good. Shit we all grew up with one way or another. This obscure indy band shit isnt hitting for me. I hear a lot of people talking about how weird flagg was acting, but he has a good reason to hate Chris or maybe Lex cloned him the way he did superman.
>>215157725The opening song is kinda cool, the metal or whatever peacemaker likes is ass and cheesy
>>215157725Peacemaker murdered his son, course he would hate him. Also had a metahuman drop a world leader to his death. So what’s to stop Hawk bitch from flying in and dropping president of US to his death. I don’t see Flags actions being bad. Pretty much be anyways reaction if meta humans existed and could do whatever the fuck they wanted
>>215158016Wasn't he following orders? Why is he holding a personal grudge against a mindless soldier
F/M/K?
it's even funnier because there will be no season 3 so Chris is just stuck on some planet forever now.
fuckin my heart in the ass
SEX WITH BORDEUX
>>215158589Lol
>>215158662>can literally see her ass before anything else around a wallI want to kiss it
>>215158676>>can literally see her ass before anything else around a wallkino
This scene felt randomly shoe horned in.It didn't follow the flow of either the preceding scene of the snogboat or following scene of The Worst Distraction Attempt Somehow WorksIt was also way too fucking longMaybe Gunn had spunked the budget on two random bands and had to fill the gap up with some crap
>>215158698perfect
Gunn was not involved in season 2 like he was with 1. Was busy filming Superman. Season 1 was definitely just a pet project. Season 2 just table setting for his new DCU
>>215158154>F/M/K?Just like that.
I missed her a lot today
>>215158770We wrote and directed the shitty finale and wrote every episode
>>215158855>Well, look who decided to come out of his cave!
>>215158855
>>215158893He planned on directing all of them. He also hadn’t set up his DCU when he did the first one. Just his side character pet protect. Now he’s trying to buildup for Man of Tomorrow. No doubt the WB told him he needs to set up shit for A list characters because nobody cares about side characters anymore
>>215158498It will be continued in a movie or Checkmate series.
>>215158986very kissable stomach
>>215155980Problem is that ep7 had a great climax and good ending for a season.Ep8 wasn't that bad in terms of plot, but it was like an episode of just setting up a season 3 that might not come.It feels like the dimension exploring is something that would've fit better for pacing before the ep7 climax, but the they didn't have the portal tech until after it.lil' awkard, but okay.
>>215158986I need Cat Grant to meet her
>>215159180First 4 should have been condensed into 3 and given this an extra episode for the finale. First dealing with the portals and Flagg getting to up his own ass ending in Peacemaker talking with everybody while the last one in building up Checkmate.
whats with the faggot shill on this thread?
>>215156667>the universe gets rebotedI'm glad comicbooks died
>>215159432Comic book sales have almost doubled in the post-pandemic era. I don't know why
Every single episode has been character mostly male says something dumb and other character or characters mostly woman look at him and say something like "what did you say" or "you are stupid" over and over and over
It was worse than The Book of Boba Fett
>>215159476Its almost like a hard decade of capeshit content made fans of capeshit content...
Man of Steel is a cult classic.Nothing in the Gunnverse ever will be.
>>215159762Nobody likes that shit Jeet.
>>215155980>>215156254>>215156295'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
>>215155980The pacing ruined the season. Yeah I know the plans was he wanted 6 episodes, WB mandated 8, etc etc. But when you get slapped with a bunch of 30-barely 40 minute episodes for your main plot people are interested in, padded out with scenes and plots that sorta feel like filler like the Eagly subplot. Then cap it off with an nearly hour long finale which is in the grand scheme of things setting up future DCU projects as an epilogue and shelfing a character who was already on the shelf by the end of the last episode which felt like the actual finale?Just leaves a bad taste.
>>215156422They probably don't know slurs anymore. When's the last time you heard quadroon or high yella
>>215158154Kill Harcourt. Marry Sasha. Fuck Abs.
>>215156588Yeah, now everybody loves Peacemaker, S02 got great ratings and the audience is demanding to see more of him.
>>215160358more people to like him than they did prior to the 2020s
>>215160024seems to be a big issue with all three dcu projects going on, I can already tell lanterns will be dogshit
>>215156412They are brown people. Why the fuck would anyone care
>>215160440I'll give Lanterns the benefit of the doubt as Gunn's not helming it. But it's really gonna be the make or break for the DCU when people are seemingly already getting tired of Gunn's tropes and patterns. If the non Gunn stuff can't work, then that's gonna be trouble.
>>215160429Warners has spent, between two seasons and part of a movie, $200+ million to make people aware he exists. Now, since that character is a gay commie simp, there's no way to make money off that character. No S03, no movie. Gunn can have him cameo in the next Superman movie and let the audience boo at him.
>>215155980i wish we got to see adrian hug, kiss and sex adrian 2
so peacemaker ended up where they dumped all the black people in the nazi universe?
>>215160025Why would they ever stop using slurs?
>>215161380No, Keith yelling ONE GOT OUT A BLAAAAAACK implies they're in concentration camps
>>215161478If you don't see a type of person you don't hear the slurs. I've known people in all white areas that never heard chink, nip, spic, etc. Nobody had a reason to use them
You get what you deserve.
>>215155980if only the pacing had been better, maybe it wouldve saved the mediocre ending
>>215155980My only issues with this episode is the bird blindness guy talking about throwing up on a stripper and not being funny for what felt like minutes and the band parts. What the fuck was he thinking.
>>215156254Pretty sure his popularity was ruined when he was outed as a pedophile and has made nothing but flops since.
>>215161975Tim Meadows is usually funny, you can tell that bit was written for him
>>215159000Will we get lesser known character movies like mister miracle or big barda?
I need Sol Rodriguez as my wife
>>215162993Probably not. People are just gay when it comes to not known shit. And then they bitch everything being a sequel or big IP.
>>215158923kek
People can trash Gunn but the fact we are even talking about Peacmaker is why I like him. Nobody would ever done a series on Peacamaker. And if they did they’d make him generic as fuck. He wouldn’t have his goofy helmet, probably have some swat outfit. Or a Captain America rip off
>>215163109You need to start with a obese chick to lose your virginity to saars
can someone explain what happened in the ending and the season? can't be bothered watching. why was it bad?
>>215163289yeah dude he totally wasnt generic as fuck this entire season
>>215163323The season has almost no plot. Just flagg sr. and argus trying to get pm's portal basically in circles for 8 episodes. Most of the show is spent on pm/harcourt drama.The finale is a tacked on, montage heavy episode that abruptly has flagg stick PM on the portal prison planet salvation (comic thing)
>>215163323they're mad because there wasn't some ebin cameo
>>215156588>Seems like Gunn succeeded at getting people to care about a “who?” characterthe view numbers for this have been awfulthey weren't even great for season 1
>>215156422I honestly can't tell if I'm misremembering but doesn't the brother answer the phone while lightly jogging behind her?
whats the deal with this adrian guy? hes a fucking idioti never seen seaons 1 so i dont know any origin storyshim talking to lee being all psycho and shit and hating his mom tho she seems sweetseems like he is just this shows jarjarbinks
>>215163289Gunn has no idea what the fuck he is doing because he originally pushed for Batista to be Peacemaker and Batista was too busy and suggested Cena. Can you imagine how shit this would have been with Batista?
>>215155980All of peacemaker (and modern TV in general) is meaningless filler slop. Every scene:"Want to get some lunch?""Lunch?""Yeah, lunch, you know, when you eat food?""Uh, no shit, it's lunch, stupid. I was asking what you want for lunch.""But you didn't say that.""Um, did I fucking HAVE to say that??? God, you're so fucking stupid"."Woah, like, chill out, I was just asking about lunch"."Ugh, you're so predictable.""Predictable?""Yeah, predictable.""W-where's this coming from?""You wouldn't understand... >:( ">next scene>this continues for 8 fucking hours>show ends in meaningless anticlimax where nothing relevant is resolved.>thanks for watching! now we'll scurry away with your shekels.Fuck modern TV slop.
>>215163289Except you could make this same show but about Green Arrow or whatever with basically no changes and everyone would be like "oh right I remember green arrow" and it would neither add or subtract anything
>>215162260Only a handful of republican christroon christkikes pretended to care about his pedo jokes. If Gordon Flowers ever visits WB Studios tho I'll laugh my ass off.
>>215164688Tbf after bautista in tss, assuming he got it theres no way gunn wouldve done PM with him since he cant act
>>215164688kino wrastler, kino alien retard, kino androidArmy of the Dead was shit but that's because it's a 100% pure unfiltered Hack Snyder flick
>>215164862Thats not being fair. If Gunn got his way we would never have gotten PM which is a bad thing
well the show made me look it up, lobsters do not die crushed by their exoskeletons
>>215164886they also don't feel painany time you hear someone talk about how lobsters or crabs "scream" when you put them in boiling water, that's literally just the steam shooting through the gaps in their exoskeletons like a whistleThey are functionally immortal and feel nothing and eat garbage and shit. I would compare them to cockroaches, but roaches have generally been proven to higher levels of intelligence
>>215164915Obviously they feel pain, do you think you can stab them without a reflex?
>>215156254What happened?
>>215164940Nothing!
>>215164932Reflexes and survival instincts don't correlate to pain receptors.
>>215156376I don’t recognize a lot of dc characters. I know joker, I’m assuming that’s poison ivy, and catwoman.
>>215164453thanks, sounds cringe
>>215164970Yeah they do...you cant react to pain without nerves retard
>>215164994Np, there were some good scenes but i would just youtube them or skim the show quickly (30 min episodes anyway)
>>215156295Foxy Shazam was /mu/ long before you came to 4chan but yeah it was one of the worst season finale in /tv/ history.
>>215165004Yes you can.Like in instances where humans don't feel pain from an injury, yet instinctively and via having a brain, we still yank our arm back from the pain of the oven burn or mishandle hammer and nail that we will not even feel for another second or two, or even longer.It's a mechanical process, one that even people with with nerve disorders in their pain receptors still experience.Bugs understand threats and have a fight or flight response, but they explicitly do not experience pain upon a losing a leg. They are purely mechanical creatures.
>>215164716Literally this, the adlib-style attempts at humor were painful to watch.
>>215156422Yeah these were both equally dumb.
>>215156440>season 2 was so goodCitation needed
The episode peaked 5 minutes in with the candyland exploration scene, which is a massive problem Peacemaker didn’t do shit in this episode
>>215165067This is nonsensical
>>215158154In season 1 I thought Hardcourt was qt, but this season every time she was on the screen I couldn't help but see how fucking bogged she is. Especially in contrast with natural beauty of Bordeaux and even Ads was more easy on the eye than her.
>>215158154Fuck, Fuck, Starve and Fuck
>>215165221Do you also think a lizard feels pain when it loses its tail?
>>215165329Does it have pain receptors in it?
>>215155980Last ep unironically made me do a 180 on the new DC in general, what the fuck was Gunn thinking putting two entire music videos in the last epJust astonishingly bad
>>215165353most reptiles don't have pain receptors anywhereit's primarily a mammalian evolutionary traitthere's a reason why birds, reptiles, insects, cephalopods, fish, etc. don't require rehabilitation upon loss of limb, they either continue to operate or starve/get preyed on due to no longer being survivable.
>>215165372Not to mention shittermans bombingFirst Superman movie in almost a decade and couldn't even crack a billie
>>215165387I didnteven give a shit about that but he's overhyped everythjng he's done this season and even reduced one of the most plot important characters of the current DCU into a joke (flag jr) in that one episodeHe's so far up his own ass right now that I don't want to watch anything DCU related anymore
>>215165383Oh i get it youre doing vigilante's animal bit. Lol
I'm done with DC. Just pretend it never happened and continue on from The Suicide Squad/Peacemaker S1. Do Justice League II to wrap up the Darkseid shit and then do Black Adam vs Superman and Peacemaker and his gang or some shit. Just fucking forget this shit from this year ever happened.
>>215165409Yeah it's really an accomplishment when he ruined mcu then ruined dcu and both extended universes as well as multiverses at the same timeI reckon fire him from writing and directing maybe have a DC and MCU crossover down the track but he would find a way to fuck that up tooInb4 he's even worse then Kevin and Kathleen
I was convinced the season would again be about some kind of mind control/virus type shit, since Gunn has done that so many times before either writing or directing (Scooby-Doo, Dawn of the Dead, Slither, the Suicide Squad, Peacemaker) but I think an alternate world full of people who are out to get you and are "brainwashed" into "racism" still counts
>>215165451Yeah even with slither it's just the same shit over and over again even gotg had itHe's basically making live action rick and Morty but all the bad shit nothing from the first two good seasons MCU feels more in tone where it should be with that f4 movie even if it had its problems I'd take that over le fuckin myself in the ass safe edgy shit Nazi crap gunns pissed out
>>215156318>DC Prison ArcIt's just 33.1 from Smallville mixed with Stargate. They can get Peacemaker back. All they need is Superman's fortress and the tech to open the portal to the phantom zone. That's likely where he is and why Brainiac is in the next film. Also opens the way for Zod again.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2X2_lT4xc44
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 after 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
>>215166131>Courtesyyou are horrible at writing
>>215166596why? you don't think ARGUS has the minimal respect to Peacemaker to send him with his gear?
>>215155980I hear ya. All this season I thought a woman was singing the intro song. Turns out it's a dude. Who knew?
>>215155980Am I retarded? I saw some faggot on Facebook complaining about the episode, and I clicked on his profile and he had a bunch of trans flags but he wasn't trans. Is it really just hatred that Peacemaker and his buddies didn't go to the Nazi world and destroy everything?
>>215158717Shoe-horned in? It's been her only plot line for 16 episodes.
>>215167271Don’t go looking for any deep thought from those people
>>215167271no you retard the episode was horrible fucking watch it yourself
>>215167390I just did. It felt like it resolved everything, and then added in the plotline for not-Peacemaker S3
>>215167474yeah you're really unique then because chuds libtards everyone hated it and not for politic reasonsi'm glad there are people who can somehow enjoy modern tv
>>215167497I've seen a lot of people complain that they didn't go to the Nazi world and save black people, and a lot of people complain about the lesbian break-up scene. People are brain broken by politics.
>>215156422i didnt believe they didnt kick her out after butterflies for being amanda nepobaby>>215156412Argus just want a dimension to throw metahumans>>215156565it was more like an study of his gf that really wants to cuck himself with john cenna
>>215156412Why would they? We send people in our own country to El Salvador and don't give a shit.
>>215158498ey if he becomes discount riddick could be better pissmaker its always cucked by his team of retards he call friends
>>215167289maybe he meant tacked on? the only other time we see the twat chick is the first episode
>>215166643rick sr wants john cenna suffer like guts in eclipse without the cucking and worsen it until horrible death
>>215167590then why throw him into the relatively nice dimension?
>>215167626the animal screams at the end doesnt sound like nice also it gonna put metacreatures so maybe we got suicide squad 3 like that
>>215155980>endingYou could have just said show
>>215167552I see you’ve gobbled up the propaganda
>>215167589She just had a heartfelt 1 on 1 complaining about how relationship in the previous episode to the green Chinese gay
>>215167652you're right but it's still better than the hell or black hole dimensions, so they don't want just to outright kill him
