    Wow John Cena has genuinely become a really good actor. I love hearing how he approaches acting

      @kaycook5031 2 года назад +4

      Right? I detest listening to, probably, 65, 70% of actors discuss their craft or method or whatever the fuck, with Jared Leto on your far-left end of this spectrum. Cena would be on the far right-hand side (the directions are arbitrary; could be North/South... wait, damnit). As much as I hate Jared Leto's acting or especially Jared Leto's talking about Jared Leto's Acting, equally that much do I really enjoy and love hearing Cena talk about working hard and praising the showrunner/scriptwriter, and just generally looking to hand credit and kudos out to anyone and everyone BUT himself.
      Sean Penn is very, very fat left on the spectrum, right in Jared Leto's neighborhood. I'm sure you were wondering.

    Aw, Gunn immediately with, "I know who you are!" As someone who's conducted probably 150-odd interviews for various podcasts and local radio shows, what a gracious, put-you-at-ease response to 'I am ___ from ____." Gunn's a total pro, by all accounts, and seems to be an absolute sweetheart. I'd have to think he's the ideal guest if you're covering comic books/comic book movies.

    Cena has been elevated in my eyes in a major way watching this series. The dude is giving it his all, having a BLAST, and is crushing it. Even the quiet, emotional moments, or moments when he gets high and dances alone and cries. WHO IS THIS DUDE??? 😂 I love it.

    I love Hector's interviews! (IMO he was underused at DC Daily.) You can see the pure enjoyment on his face whomever he talks to (and that's awesome)! Hector's one of the few who truly knows what he's talking about and it never feels like he's reading questions off a prompter because he already knows what to ask.

      @@hectorminator Even over Zoom - ESPECIALLY over Zoom, where I think you often perceive, like, one single vibe/attitude/demeanor/dimension coming through a webcam, rather than a whole nuanced person - that authentic delight and enjoyment is contagious AND also... i would say, protective. It was the perfect tone for Cena not to lean into his (geez, rather stern) correction of your timeline.
      Had that been me, I cannot envision anything but me circling back to deliberately be shitty about that & hang a lantern on it (buzzer sfx), which would have sucked, but you were so graceful and it resolved immediately... that's a style/philosophy/methodology to emulate 🤓

    The fact that this motor Actually reads his goddamned COMICS !
    Thank you Hector, as always. And btw congrats on the clear fact that James Gunn most definitely knows who the heck You Are !!!

    Seriously, James Gunn is my kind of person. Deep, dark, empathetic and funny as fuck. This series checks all the boxes PLUS much, much more. I loved the complexity of the relationships and excellent NON-robotic dialogue. Plus I mean anytime we see shit explode and have some fuck/shit words in the dialogue is so right up my alley. DC is lucky to get Gunn on these two projects, they are comedy GOLD! Also, kudos for DC/HBOMax pushing the boundaries in showing real people who represent different communities… LGBTQIA+ especially! FUCK Ya!!!!

      The diversity really adds to the fun here, by tossing all sorts of different perspectives into the madness. I'm thinking of the moment where the detective is pissed at herself for calling Peacemaker's racist dad "fork" in response his calling her "chopsticks". (She agrees with her partner that "spoon" would have been a better insult, LOL.) Or, the whole dynamic between Peacemaker and Leota. It's all rich stuff to explore.

      @@onefootsteve5919 bwwahahaha oh totes! the banter between the dad and the cops is hilarious. Me being a multi-cultural mutt can totes relate to the chopsticks comment. such a great job, @James Gunnnnnnn, you have made me love you even more. It gives me hope for other productions ,shows, movies to have this much cultural insight and empathy… cos in the end, we are all animals who eat, poop and fuck. LOL
      MCU needs to take more chances and not being so family first, we are all adults or will so be one soon… Quit acting like sex and foul words mean anything these days LOL Kids will probably do all of the above and not be phased by it.

    Peacemaker and the whole Charlton characters,are Awesome, I especially liked them in
    Multiversity:PAX AMERICANA.
    Comic book.
    It's like a Watchmen story,using the original characters meant to star in the originally planned story. Peacemaker is Sick in that story,the art is amazing.
    Peacemaker show should introduce, more Charlton characters,like Judo Master...Blue Beatle? Night Shade?The Question? Captain Atom?Thunderbolt- Peter Canon?

      She and Janes Gunn have been a couple for six years. And it wasn't like a creepy mogul swooping down on a young actress; their friends set them up on a blind date. At first, she thought it might be a setup, but she watched RUclips interviews and thought she seemed nice. And the rest is history. But yeah, she's gorgeous, and also really good in the show. She plays a familiar character, but she makes it her own.
