The scene with Peacemaker and Jamil really hit for me, they're both great in the scene but Rizwan's delivery of "No man, don't say that, why say that?" Just got me. Trailers definitely didn't do this show justice but how bonkers it is (in the best James Gunn way possible) I understand
Vigilante was amazing. Can’t believe all those scenes with him are reshoots. Great job by James Gunn. The original actor left after 5 episodes. So its great how it totally worked!
@@TheKristianHarloff yeah it was Chris Conrad. He left the role for “creative differences”, glad he did tho because Freddy Stroma knocked it outta the park!
Really enjoy these little personal reviews with just you Kristian! James Gunn is killing it by doing his own style movies and tv! Glad he’s getting such praise for such a weird project.
Vigilante has to be my favorite character in this show so far. And damn, can we say the intro to the show is amazing?! Love the 80's themes (like music and montages) they blatantly and sometimes sneak into the show. And you hit everything else I wanted to rave about, heh.
The way how Martin Scorsese is at his element making gangster movies, the way how Steven Spielberg is at his element making historic movies. It’s the same thing with Gunn with superhero movies. He’s at his best! Again love the video! Keep up with the great content!
This gave me hope for a James Gunn Plastic Man. My friend loves the character and always says we’ll never see him put to screen. I keep telling him James Gunn would be the one to do it. It’s pitch perfect for his sensibilities.
I love that the singer yelled "You like that, Evan?" in the chorus of the metal cover of Pumped Up Kicks. Also I kept thinking gosh, this lunatic was in the Schmoedown and we didn't get a live entrance lol. FREEDOMMMM!!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
@@TheKristianHarloff my bad... clearly I don't watch any wrestling, I totally mixed up Cena and Jerico lol. At least I got the initials right... kinda... maybe I was just thinking it's a Chris lol .
This series is so much fun. Love this take on Vigilante, which like Peacemaker, is so different from what we know from the comics. Had to look up White Dragon, who has no connection to Peacemaker as far as I can see.
I don’t know if I’ll watch this whole video cuz I’ve only seen the first episode, but I was patiently waiting for your review lol. I thought the first ep was so f***ing hilarious, and exactly what I wanted out of this show. James Gunn knows what he’s doing.
James Gunn unleashed is awesome! Fundamentally Guardians of the Galaxy and Peacemaker share lots of structural parallels. Tonally it's probably what Guardians of the Galaxy would be like if it wasn't under the mouse's puritanical supervision.
Holy Fudge 😳😳😳 This Show frigging Rules!! Never in my long years did I expect to love Peacemaker more than a series about Boba Fett🤩🤩 That intro theme is damn riot This show bad ass an hilarious 😆
Peacemaker is such a great show!!!! I wasn’t looking forward to it, but I gave it a chance and am blown away. The cast is great, this show is insane and heartfelt at the same time. Can’t wait for the rest of the season
I thought It was a great idea that they released 3 episodes at once. The tone and humor of the show is right up my alley and can't wait to see where it goes from here.
I actually didn’t find Harcourt to be a bad person these first few episodes. Feel like the nature of the work and the logic from plenty of comparable espionage and black ops type of material, that we all know, went into wanting to kill that witness in the 3rd episode. If anything the empathy for her was pretty well done in the scene in the bar in the first episode all be it comedic. It helps knowing what she’s been through a bit from The Suicide Squad carrying over to this mission as we see her think out loud about things related to Waller and other stuff. Do you have a prediction or a hope for any particular character from The Suicide Squad (other than Waller) to appear briefly later on this season? Even if it ended up being as simple as a phone call, it would be fun to get more back and forth with Bloodsport and Peacemaker. Keep up the great work man!
The Suicide Squad was my fav. movie of 2021 and now I LOVE PEACEMAKER series. I couldn't stop laughing at the scenes with Peacemaker and the female butterfly. Freedom!!!! him singing with a certain object. She cutting and throwing peacemaker while that dope ass song was playing. It a perfect show for me.
This is the edgy type show that I love. That opening scene instantly sold me! I think with a director like James Gunn and the right material, John Cena is a great lead!
Ahh so happy you did a review for Peacemaker! I knew it would be right up your alley after your glowing review of The Sucicide Squad... Always love hearing your thoughts on any show/movie I'm currently into. Keep up the great work man, I'll be checking back to the channel for more!
There were moments that I loved and there were moments that loathed. I think your analysis saying that some may like it and some may not based on the dialogue is spot on.
Love the tone of the show, definitely stands out, the show and soundtrack is fearless. I agree that some people may not like it, but I don't need every comic show to be the same or safe. I liked the different tones of the Marvel shows, but this reminds me of how limited you are when you are on Disney+. We need one Star Wars Sith story brought to HBO.
Great review. I have to admit in Episode 2 where the 2 cops are chasing after Peacemaker. When they enter the elevator and one of them sings🎶Gonna Catch A Bad Guy🎵 knocked me sideways 🤣
Great show! Getting The Boys and The Tick vibes but with that James Gunn flavor! Vigilante surprised the hell out me too, thought I was going to hate the character, he is turning out to be one of my favorites
@@TheKristianHarloff Wow! I can't believe you haven't gotten into that show yet.So many shows out there so its understandable but that's definitely one you won't regret
I feel like the only reason there's a cute eagle on the show is because everyone thought James Gunn hates birs after Suicide Squad. All joking aside this show was great
I’m loving this show! Super is my favourite James Gunn film and this has massive Super vibes with Vigilante being very similar to Elliot (at the time Ellen) Pages’ Bolte. I loved Peacemaker’s breakdown scene and getting to see how insecure he is, it makes the costume and attitude of this character so much more grounded. Eagley is stupid but perfect.
I'm digging the show. Let's see where this is going. I am totally ok with profane, silly and violent. Kristian, you didn't mention that when he killed the Butterfly he basically dropped a "Pesce Out Mother F".
Love how James Gunn reimagines characters. Vigilante gives me Deadpool esque vibes, and it works better for the tone of the show compared to how he is in the comics.
This show is the world of The Suicide Squad meets the tone of Super. And man I’m digging the shit out of it. Some scenes with the jokes go for a tad bit long, but I’ve smiled and laughed so much.
This show is funny as hell. I don't know why I laughed so hard at a simple line..."y'all ordered without me" I don't know why that was so funny to me 🤣
Exactly..... The show is so utterly ridiculous, but in the best possible way. I agree that guardians 2 was quite a bit off..... But the suicide squad and this is Gunn back in great form.
6:27 - Yeah, that's probably me. I'm one of very few that didn't like The Suicide Squad, didn't really care for the Peacemaker character and I'm not a fan of James Gunn's humor or his over the top violence/gore. I still might give the first episode a chance.
I love the part where Vigilante is like “Do you think when I see someone who is a murderer, a heroin dealer, or doing graffiti and I have to kill them, and their eyes are popping out of their head, do you think I enjoy that?….. of course I do!”
Hey Kristian enjoying the content quick question just wondering about something before more people ask its about a lot of the older videos (Top 10s, Reviews, Best and Worst etc) and podcast from the movie trivia channel disappeared and was wondering will they be archived or privated/deleted forever to be nothing but a faint memory cause they aren't as good as the new ones? (Don't mean to sound harsh at the last part but I don't know what the SEN Team thinks of the older videos)
Hey man! All good. The reason the SK vids were set to private, Ellis and I spoke and those vids no longer represent that channel. And new viewers will be confused when finding the Schmoedown and finding content on the channel that does not mach. This channel is the channel now for reviews, news etc...
The comedy in this show is freaking awesome. I found like all the trailers boring, the only thing that gave me optimism was seeing the featurette for Vigilante, everything they showed of him was great
This show is bat shit crazy and I’m digging it. Cena was great in Suicide Squad and he continues to be great here as peacemaker. James Gunn did with Cena what he did with Dave Batista
The show is bananas in a good way. The whole scene with him escaping from the apartment was so damn funny. He is just so stupid. The opening credits dance number set the tone right away. I’m like, what the hell is this 😂😂😂
The scene with Peacemaker and Jamil really hit for me, they're both great in the scene but Rizwan's delivery of "No man, don't say that, why say that?" Just got me. Trailers definitely didn't do this show justice but how bonkers it is (in the best James Gunn way possible) I understand
Yeah the Aquaman back and forth was GREAT!
For 50 bucks he has his way with a sturgeon
Vigilante was amazing. Can’t believe all those scenes with him are reshoots. Great job by James Gunn. The original actor left after 5 episodes. So its great how it totally worked!
Were they really reshoots?
Wow who was the actor before?
@@TheKristianHarloff yeah it was Chris Conrad. He left the role for “creative differences”, glad he did tho because Freddy Stroma knocked it outta the park!
@@TheKristianHarloff yeah! First 5 episodes!
Really enjoy these little personal reviews with just you Kristian! James Gunn is killing it by doing his own style movies and tv! Glad he’s getting such praise for such a weird project.
Thank you CJ!

Vigilante really surprised me on how much I enjoyed him.
"If this was three years ago, I'd shoot you both in the face for that" was by far my favorite line so far.
Vigilante is definitely my favorite character. An absolute lunatic and is so nonchalant about what he's talking about and doing. Hilarious af.
He is great
Gunn actually wrote the role for Dave Bautista. But I’m so glad John Cena got it. And that leaves Bautista open to become Bane
Same
Bautista couldn’t have done this role. At least I don’t think so. Cena is way better.
The way how Martin Scorsese is at his element making gangster movies, the way how Steven Spielberg is at his element making historic movies. It’s the same thing with Gunn with superhero movies. He’s at his best! Again love the video! Keep up with the great content!
Yeah he knows how to pull the best.
This show really feels like The Tick and I am here for it.
Great tone
This was an amazing premiere and I really liked that they dropped 3 episodes. Vigilante shooting the Butterfly family was dark and hilarious
Right?!
Love the idea that Danielle Brooke's character is the most moral of them all, being the daughter of you know who! 👀 We must protect her at all costs!!
I wonder what is her "God given talent" is though? If Waller like this talent, she has to be dangerous.
She is great
They are grinning her to take over, her personality will change and she will become the real Amanda Waller. She’s even fat like in the comics.
@@pyroblast3000 her god given talent is the best person waller can trust i think
@@pyroblast3000 I just see God given talent as her being great at this stuff but chooses not to do it. I don't think she has powers or something
Love it! Releasing those 3 eps at once was the best move. This show gives DC the kick in the nutts it needs.
The 3 ep release strategy was good!
Now I can’t start my day off right until I’ve watched the opening credits for Peacemaker. Who knew we needed a John Cena musical performance?
Hahaha
Seeing a James Gunn project always causes me to increase my music library
Hahah right?!
There are certain intros that I will never skip. This is one of them. It's never not funny!
So fun
John Cena finally found his character. great show with great humor and over the top action loved it
Yeah Cena owns this role.
This gave me hope for a James Gunn Plastic Man. My friend loves the character and always says we’ll never see him put to screen. I keep telling him James Gunn would be the one to do it. It’s pitch perfect for his sensibilities.
Me too!
“Aquaman’s a hero!”
“FUCK AQUAMAN!”
So good.
Haha
I love that the singer yelled "You like that, Evan?" in the chorus of the metal cover of Pumped Up Kicks. Also I kept thinking gosh, this lunatic was in the Schmoedown and we didn't get a live entrance lol. FREEDOMMMM!!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Wait what? Who was in the Schmoedown?
@@TheKristianHarloff my bad... clearly I don't watch any wrestling, I totally mixed up Cena and Jerico lol. At least I got the initials right... kinda... maybe I was just thinking it's a Chris lol .

It is really funny. Save it!
Glad they decided to drop 3 episodes for the first week since it was that third episode that really got me. Interested to see where it goes
Same here!
James Gunn unleashed is awesome! Fundamentally Guardians of the Galaxy and Peacemaker share lots of structural parallels. Tonally it's probably what Guardians of the Galaxy would be like if it wasn't under the mouse's puritanical supervision.
Maybe!

This Show frigging Rules!!
Never in my long years did I expect to love Peacemaker more than a series about Boba Fett🤩🤩
That intro theme is damn riot
This show bad ass an hilarious 😆
I love it
loving the reviews!
Thank you!
This was way better than what i was expecting. Edgy, action packed.
Yup
I like the running gag of peacemaker always believing whatever is posted on the internet.
Haha
One of my all time favourite shows already! Cena is perfect and James Gunn is a genius.
Cena is great in this
The Peacemaker intro is the greatest thing ever lol! 🤣🤣
So silly and great
Kristen you explained this to a "T" I literally laughed out loud reliving this thru you... I'm about to watch all 3 episodes again!
Love this show!
Peacemaker is such a great show!!!! I wasn’t looking forward to it, but I gave it a chance and am blown away. The cast is great, this show is insane and heartfelt at the same time. Can’t wait for the rest of the season

Even if it ended up being as simple as a phone call, it would be fun to get more back and forth with Bloodsport and Peacemaker. Keep up the great work man!
Thank you! No prediction here, just watching it come in!
My favorite joke scene was Peacemaster and Judo master back and forth. "I want to take you home and play with you with my toys." 🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha
big man big swole man😂
Peacemaker is the best live action comic book show DC have done since Superman and Lois. The opening alone is unbelievably funny and awesome!
Really funny
@@TheKristianHarloff facts!

Great analysis Kristian! I really like the show. There's nothing else like it.
Exactly!
I can't wait until next episode! This show is WILD
Agreed
Maybe the greatest opening credits ever.
It is a blast
Love how James Gunn reimagines characters. Vigilante gives me Deadpool esque vibes, and it works better for the tone of the show compared to how he is in the comics.
He is great
Yeah in the comics he is DC's version of the Punisher

That's very kind of you, thanks!
Peacemaker is, much to my surprise, is the best comic book related TV show currently airing. Could be one of the best ever. Crazy.
Love it so much
Peacemaker and Vigilante laying in bed after running a train on that guy's wife from the apartment at the end of episode 2 had me in tears. 😆😆😂😅🤣🤣🤣
So much crazy shit going on
and he did that with the mask on 😂

Glad you like them! Thank you! This is easily the most fun I have ever had doing this. So thank you!

It's pretty great
I would like to see punisher back in screen too.. loved that series
Bernthal crushed it
That scene where peacemaker was tied up and talking shit to that Asian kid superhero was hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Very funny stuff
This show fucking rules.
Between this and Harley Quinn, for some reason DC only really makes an impact on screen IMO when they’re making me laugh.
No surprise that you love this too
The comedy in this show is freaking awesome. I found like all the trailers boring, the only thing that gave me optimism was seeing the featurette for Vigilante, everything they showed of him was great
Yeah they found their tone with the show for sure.
Was waiting for this review. Absolutely nuts show, freaking loving it
Same
Gunn's Suicide Squad didn't work overall for me but I loved Peacemaker in it. Really enjoyed these 3 episodes.
Thanks Anthony!
Don’t forget about Bat-Mite is in this universe too
This is true
This show is CRAZY 😂😂. So funny. Best intro to a show ever
Love it
I gotta be honest...These first 3 episodes were more entertaining to me than any show on disney plus..
Hey totally fair opinion!
Peacemaker is a refreshing show.
100 percent
Peacemaker, love it and I agree with you in reference with the jokes, the show allows the joke moments to expand which is funny as heck
Yeah, really enjoyed this.
Loved Peacemaker. It’s funny and it works.
Same page!
This show is fantastic. It’s also the reason why Gunn belongs with DC.
Hard to argue.
This show is bat shit crazy and I’m digging it. Cena was great in Suicide Squad and he continues to be great here as peacemaker. James Gunn did with Cena what he did with Dave Batista
Agreed
Glad the show is good. Can't wait to watch
Enjoy it!
I've binged all three episodes after getting my booster yesterday. DC is really finding its new identity after trying to copy Marvel
They have changed tremendously for the better
The show is bananas in a good way. The whole scene with him escaping from the apartment was so damn funny. He is just so stupid. The opening credits dance number set the tone right away. I’m like, what the hell is this 😂😂😂
Hahah I love it!
A crazy ass good fun show! I like it so far 🙂
Same here!
The BEST thing on TV! So GooooooD! Go away Boba THIS IS THE SHOW!
So much fun! But we got both though, hope Boba picks up!
This show has so much potential been waiting on your review Kristian had me watching these bum ass RUclipsrs
Haha well thanks for coming by!
I intended to watch each episode in separate sittings. Instead watched all three in a single sitting. It was the book equivalent of unputdownable.
I agree
Before I watch ur video, I have to say in my opinion that Peacmaker is the best series so for that I've seen since The Boys.
Happy to hear it!
I wonder if the final episode will give us any insight to the other DC tv projector Gunn said he's working on.
Hope so!
gunn said that final episode is massive thats why he didnt let them drop all the episodes at the same time
Oh and also as a Jewish man *I approve* of your use of the word putz. Very accurate.
Haha thank you.
I enjoyed this for the same reason I enjoy The Boys. This gives me a bridge to The Boys season 3.
I need to watch that show as well!
Freedom!!!!! 🦅
HAhaha
