#DC #Peacemaker
Something I can't give Cena enough credit for is how vulnerable he let's himself be, both physically and emotionally, a lot of wrestlers when they transition to action star showing so little weakness, Peacemaker wouldn't be half as good with Cena really getting a chance to show off his range
Im honestly blown away by how sincerely good an actor Cena is, given his rise to mainstream fame started with a wrestling meme.
That wasn’t crying. He was doing his face exercises! 😭
howd you see it ?
100% agree. I had massive doubts about this series going in, despite Gunn's record. I mean, Cena played Peacemaker well in the movie, but he wasn't a particularly deep character (they even make a joke about how he has the exact same origin story as Bloodsport) and he pretty much turned full villain half way through. That didn't sound like something that would make for a compelling protagonist. And then very early on in the series we're introduced to his white supremacist, sexist, homophobic father and I'm like, holy crap where's this all going. But very quickly Cena established his character as much more than all of this.
His origin story is pretty heartbreaking, and Cena really sells the way it obviously deeply affects him to this day (the scene in the classroom where the kid asks if he has an origin story and he just has this dead look on his face and he's like "not in the traditional sense" - really powerful). The origin of his code and his struggle with it, his struggle with breaking from the one person he's relied on all this time, to make himself vulnerable enough to join a new team, the way he comes to realise how his own actions are hurting others - it's all so good.
I never would have thought Cena would have had the range needed to pull all of this off (so early in his acting career too). The only thing I'm worried about is that they will do a reset of Peacemaker's character for season 2. The heart of the show was watching him grow as a person, and I'm not sure how you do a season 2 without reining back on some of that growth, which would be a shame.
Yeeeah. We know who ya mean,, I dont like Dewey Johnson either.. we all know he sucks and his movies bomb/blow.
Get this... Die Hard, only the main character is an Ox..... with a prosthetic leg. Revolutionary i tell
Still cracks me up that Warner bros arguably made their worst dceu movie trying to cash in on the trend that Guardians of the galaxy set, then immediately seized the opportunity to just get the Guardians guy to actually make one of their best movies and series
@@tekkara1548 Superhero team up without pre-movies to set it up
The trend of taking a ragtag group of losers and sociopaths and having them be the hero with a very strong aesthetic based around more comic visuals and great soundtracks.
ruclips.net/video/tT9DXJtwcOw/видео.html.
@@tekkara1548 Essentially, DC had the first SS in the works, and it was set to be dark and gritty, more so than even BvS:DoJ according to interviews at the time; then GotG came out and made a fortune.
So in response (and partially due to poor reviews of BvS), they retooled the entire film. They added an aggressive soundtrack, tried to make the villains into heroes, added more "comedy", and cut out all the intense stuff.
They copied Guardians in every way, whilst missing everything that made it special.
@@supesulgi That's a pretty massive stretch to say that Justice League was WB trying to cash in on the GotG trend...
It's crazy to me that they went to the effort to reshoot all of Vigilante's scenes for a full five and a half episode. I mean, he very quickly becomes an integral part of the show and he's heavily featured in so many scenes. The fact that they didn't take a cheaper workaround (like just killing him off and replacing him with a copycat character) really shows a dedication to the craft. I can't imagine how much these reshoots cost or what Gunn and co had to say or do to justify them to the studio, but bravo for making the right choice for the show and the audience.
Who could imagine that if you just let talented writers and directors do their thing without incessant studio interference, you actually end up with good shows?
You'd think those execs would have learned their lesson after Deadpool, but I guess if they were capable of learning, then they wouldnt have sucked so bad to begin with.
@@Magmafrost13 Peacemaker and Deadpool had studio decisions... you don't even know how this shit works.
Maybe Warner bros will see that now cuz peacemaker was there biggest hit
This is what you don't understand, Gunn made an agreement with the studio on a bunch of parameters and delivered a film (and then a TV show) that fit in those parameter, so beyond that and just checking with WB on some times, he had carte blanche to do what he wanted to do (which Gunn has confirmed many times). As did Patty Jenkins with the first WW, David Sandberg did with Shazam and James Wan did with Aquaman. Only two particularly directors complain about WB interference and they happen to be the two directors that refuse to stick with the parameters they've agreed to. The same studio and same executives didn't magically treat all the other directors except those two differently. Probably a better idea to look at the two guys who are complaining rather than just blame the faceless studio who is paying for the projects.
@@dakotachannel8142 He's literally just stating the reality of making Movies and TV shows within literally every studio system. I'm all for artists having as much freedom as possible. But some people act like studios should put millions to hundreds of millions of dollars on the line without caring about the product. When that much money is on the table you cant expect artists to have absolute freedom. If directors/writers want more freedom then they shouldnt be making big budget blockbuster movies/TV. They should be making lower budget projects. Or choose a different medium where they can have way more control. Like writing novels or painting.
With the latest record of James Gunn, and seeing that Eagly was CGI, it would have been absolutely hilarious seeing a behind the scenes where Sean Gunn was hugging Jhon Cena or Biting Economos.
If you watch the Podly episode with Cena, there a bit from the vet's office with no CGI. Eagly is a grey foam kind of bowling pin shaped block.
To really ask one's self if Peacemaker is the best comic book show, one must first ask one's self, *"Do you really, do you really wanna taste it?!"*
The idea of Bat-Mite tormenting Ben Affleck’s Batman is the funniest thing in the world
prepare the memes
Ben affleck batman is currently in the fifth dimension
And now that we have The Batman, it could be easilly explained as Bat-Mite rewritting reality to make an actually good Batman movie for him to fanboy over.
I can't think of a single thing I didn't like in this series. Had heart, comedy, great action, character dynamics and development, and was just a joy to watch. Eagley make it 10/10.
If you told me every episode was 60min i would of believed you if i never looked at the run times. Each episode moves at such a steady pace, while also lending enough time to everything the viewer wants to see, it feels like a full experience with no mercy for filler. There wasnt one part of Peacemaker that didnt have purpose. This show is a example of masterful writing and directing.
I didn't like main female character (Emilia?). She was way too cliche for me, eye rolling serious girl who is super serious and eye rolling. Why couldn't she also be goofy or psychopathic or whatever else. Why there is always a mom in the group of man-children...? And to clarify - I have nothing against serious women, goofy men, female characters etc. I'm only against the cliche here. Ok, I also really didn't like the actress, something was off so maybe that was the issue not her character. EDIT: I know what! She was just a poor version of Leela without the fun and that bothered me.
Kudos to the actors for holding that pose for 30 minutes! How did they get that eagle to do that!?
Edit: Before you ask: Watched with the sound off because I didn't want spoilers.
This is a funny comment, but I can see this comment was not edited because edited comments have an (edited) tag.
@@LobsterLadyyyy I don’t know why I find this funny but I do
🤣
That just leaves me with more questions
I actually think it was a good choice to have similar villains as in The Suicide Squad. It basically allowed Peacemaker to face a similar situation… but actually make all the right choices this time. In connecting with the team and actually choose to fight for the right side. It really emphasized his growth.
For Titans, it wasn’t even a week! They released the first three episodes of the season at once (like with Peacemaker), so Jason Todd literally died and came back as Red Hood SIMULTANEOUSLY.
He definitely should have been dead for at least a whole season
ruclips.net/video/tT9DXJtwcOw/видео.html.
Teen Titans Go is the only Titans canon I recognize
I didn't start watching _Peacemaker_ until the whole first season was out. I wasn't planning to binge watch it, but I couldn't help it. It was hilarious with the right amount of edge and heart. Writing, acting, pacing--all good, as you said. Great all around.
Cena pulls that role of perfectly. Nobody could do that but him.
@@Thunderbeingz I agree. And whatever circumstances led to Stroma taking over the role of Vigilante, it worked out perfectly.
@@qwertyferix Freddie Stroma was having entirely too much fun the whole time and it works out perfectly. You can even see it in the intro dance number, how he really leans into the moves. I bet he had a shit-eating grin under that mask the whole time.
Same here. Got hit with the flu and stayed in bed for a day, just watched the whole thing. What a delight.
Me too.
I would like to see Danny Devito as Batmite and Johnny Knoxville as Plastic Man in season 2
Apparently the old neighbor was batmite
…Johnny Knoxville as plastic man is the best thing I’ve ever heard
WB should hire you
Johnny Knoxville as Eel O'Brien is inspired. Well done.
@@Nothingtoseehere-eo7zq got this from?
Killing off all the police shocked me. They made those characters really likeable.
They were definitely the good guys, I think it helped to show that the butterflies were in the wrong. They had good intentions and really just wanted a new home, but they took this home from innocent people who didn't deserve to be replaced.
I actually thought Fitzgibbon would get Butterfly’d and Song would join the 11th Street Kids to fight them.
@EL R It's such a crazy moral dilemma. But at the same time, it isn't, since they could have just TOLD humans their planet was destroyed via climate change, and then asked to just chill on their own since all they need would be water and not a lot of space, since they make their own food. And then they wouldn't need human bodies!
@@cortster12 then people would know that they murder people for hosts and could be anyone they know
@@alexreyes7237 They wouldn't need to know that.
If DC can pump out future shows just as good as Peacemaker, then i'm all for it!
Well peacemaker is a pretty high bar. I'd like it to be close. Close is good enough for me lol. Also, what's up with all this spam 😄
Doom Patrol is also great if you want more weird live-action DC series
Peacemaker had no right to be as good as it was, but it was all thanks to James Gunn and John Cena. This show's story is impecable, and so fun! The Suicide Squad was also a great, great film. I'm stoked for Season 2.
@@Knarki Watchmen was amazing, too.
Even doom patrol and watchmen were great.
Aquaman cursing in this gave me somehow The Boys vibes, and in a good way lol
Hopefully a cue that DC is learning not to take their main cast so goddamn seriously all the time. That 10-second interaction between Flash and Aquaman had more heart than the entire Justice League movie.
This is honestly what's so surprising about this series for me. It's The Boys but not within a pastiche superhero universe, but within one of the main universes The Boys is actively mocking. And I got this feeling even before the cameos. James Gunn is nuts lmao
After seeing this show, I understand why Dave Bautista said he won’t do GOTG without James Gunn. This show goes to show that if studios just let the writers and directors do their thing, they can make a great fucking show.
Without a doubt, I haven’t been this excited for another season of a show in a long time.
Calling the Justice League "dickheads" was a fantastic moment.
“I guess John Cena is just wide”
He is a brick shithouse. His physique is unbelievable.
Literally unbelievable. At some points I kept rubbing my eyes because it started to look like he was wearing a really good muscle suit.
And it’s legitimate strength, not just show bulk either
@@candyland251 I recommend you watch a channel called Renaissance periodization, it's very educational and might help dispell some common myths about muscle and fitness you seem to believe
Who came up with the term brick shithouse? Is this some sort of old time portapotty that was really sturdy?
The show really taps into the fact that John Cena just existing next to normal looking people can be really funny because of how huge he is
This show made me realize that John Cena is a far more dynamic/emotional actor than Dwayne Johnson (but I’m still really excited for Black Adam!)
Dwayne Johnson is still charismatic and fun to watch, but he's not as good of an actor as Cena or Bautista.
Yeah, It's a shame that he's a CCP bootlicker but if we ignore that, he's been the best actor to come out of WWE right behind Bautista. They both need a couple more dramatic roles and their acting will be properly refined.
@@sain1536 C'mon man, his choices were either standby what he said, get Fast and Furious banned in China and subsequently get blacklisted in Hollywood, or do what his bosses definitely told him to do and apologise so their film would could still be screened in China. All the top producers and execs want cash in on the MASSIVE Chinese market and if John Cena were to set a precedent for himself to get movies he's in banned there, his movie career would be over before it began. I just think it's unfair to call him a bootlicker when most of us would have done the same if we were in his position.
@@sambottomley4755 I said what I said, but I do understand why he did it, I personally wouldn't. From everything we've seen from John Cena, he's been a great guy, but then the Bing Chilling incident happened, I would 100% put my career on the line if it meant I'd have an impact, especially with a platform as big as Cena's. I don't hate the guy, but that will always leave a sour taste, y'know?
@@sain1536 It wasn't a good look prostrating himself in apology but at the same time I don't think any of his peers would have the balls to say the same statement that got him in trouble. Ask the Rock or Bautista about Taiwan and see what they say.
Loved the Justice league cameo, wasn’t expecting it at all
Hope Superman (Henry Cavill) comes back to the DCEU
To quote Vigilante, "#MeToo."
That was so shoehorned in. It was a mistake IMHO, it was corny and aweful looking. If they couldn't afford the actual scene then why bother?
@@robertfrost8264 it wasn’t shoehorned in it felt deserved and they on,y had Jason Mamoa and Ezra Miller cuz there are movies with them coming out
The JL cameo scene was just as bad as ‘Superman” in Shazam.
@@ajclements4627 You at least saw two of their faces and they had lines...and it even made sense with the story.
This shows imo definitely showed that 8 is the right ammount of episodes to work on the characters but have a nice story, wereass 6 is NOT enough.
somehow a some of the marvel movies feel both too rushed and too drawn out from episode to episode
I still prefer 10-12
As long as it's not 20 episodes I'm good. 20 + means filler episodes.
I also love how a bunch of non dancers committed to a whole dance routine and the t-1000 did a hip move with the sploosh
I mean we live in a world where the best tv shows dc has put out recently is peacemaker, doom patrol and god damn star girl like if that doesn’t speak volumes about the weird state of wb & dc right now idk what will
Superman and Lois is goddamn incredible
Finally a video about peacemaker. I’ve been waiting.
Its literally a segment cut out of their podcast. You could have listened to this since Monday.
I may have missed it, but did you know Adrian Chase was the big villain for a season of _Arrow_ named Prometheus instead of Vigilante for reasons I forget. There was also a _different_ Adrian Chase from another timeline who _was_ named Vigilante, in the _Flashpoint_ crossover but we never see his face. So I guess that makes four actors to have played the role?
Did no one else think the cow looked an awful lot like Insectosaurus from Monsters VS Aliens?
I thought I was the only one who immediately made this connection… they look identical
Disappointed there is no (legal) way to watch it in the UK, hope WB sorts their distribution out before moving forward with the second season and spin off.
No HBO Max? It doesn't come on at night during the week?
@@Super_Broly HBO max isn't available in the UK because of a contract with Sky, no hints from sky when they will release the episodes
Do you have Foxtel in the uk? Cause in Australia peacemaker dropped on that
@@elugg18 I don't think we do
Torrent it bro!
i still can’t fathom how a show about a chinese ice cream salesman fighting alien bugs that want to stop climate change is the DCEU’s best content
I liked _Peacemaker_ a lot, but what I really liked about it is that it _explains_ the titular character, but it doesn't _excuse_ him. A rough childhood does not a shit-tonne of murder (and possibly more) excuse.
My favorite outtake is when the guy who looks like the monster from I am legend it's trying to fake cry over the cops he just killed
People are finally understanding the greatness that is John Cena. He makes money anywhere he goes, he's professional, he busts his ass and he delivers time after time. And he's been hustling like that for 17 years now. I'm so proud of that dude, it warms my heart.
Also, his piano cover of Home Sweet Home was heartbreaking
I would say that they were successful in making an unskippable intro, I binged the whole season in one sitting and didn't skip once
The theme song is amazing. If you have any other song in your head, that song will wash it away. I call it "Musical Dran-O"
I loved when vigilante was getting his ass kicked by judomaster and he said "uh no! fuck this! no way! it's over! you won! fair fight! I gotta go!fuck!"
You can never get a beat on the DCEU. They’re “best” thing changes so frequently and it’s always to the strangest characters.
I mean, if something's "best thing" never changes then it's stale and not evolving. The fact that the new stuff coming out is increasingly better and better is a very good and healthy thing
Oh wow, how terrible, we get new greasy things too frequently! The horror!
Great show, was hesitant at first but it turned out great for each episode. Great review too!
I love that Eagly just keeps bringing him dead animals to cheer him up.
Most animals will think you have them to hunt cats and dogs kill small animals all the times for their owners
@@postsniper-7532crows too
Doom patrol is under-rated but peacemaker is great
Agreed, the banter and humour in that is also good.
This intro was one of the greatest live action intros ever created if not the greatest
Cyborg, Batman, Martian Manhunter, and Shazam we’re simply on another mission somewhere else
Batman is expected to be somewhere else since from what I know he isn't a complete member of the league like from the animated show he doesnt show up when the league are surending themselves
@@kylemccabe1863 yeah, he's busy buying some more short shorts for his little boy wonder
I’m astonished they never mentioned how Vigilante refers to vampires as being “a Dracula” just like James does
😂😂
It's pretty crazy that we nearly got Watchmen starring Peacemaker, Captain Atom, Blue Beetle and The Question in place of the characters we actually got. The way we view those characters would forever have been completely different if that had happened.
(Also, Mr Sunday/RUclips really has to do smth about the spam bots in the replies)
I’m gonna guess captain atom dies
More like RUclips needs to do something about the spam bots. It's a platform-wide issue that they easily have the resources to fix.
@@qwertyferix PLATFORM WIDE, it's ridiculous, they aren't even hitting unpopular vids, just ones that get a high amount of traffic on release.
@@l0u13__3 the comedian was originally peacemaker
Lmao the spam bots doubled up on ur comment
I never thought Eagly was a real eagle, but there were times I thought maybe he was a puppet
Doom Patrol still hold the lead for me. But that's not anything about Peacemaker not being good enough. Doom Patrol is just amazing
Doom Patrol is underrated. Albeit messy at times. Their last season was all over the place. Still a great show
All 3 seasons have been really solid for me and there wasn't any huge noticable dip in quality for me.
0:32 as I mentioned on the pod thread, James Gunn didn't move over to DC "back accident" the Alt-Right dug up his old tweets and Disney fired him. They re-hired him when they decided the dead baby tweets weren't worth losing out on literally *a billion dollars* if he didn't make Guardians 3. Mickey Mouse loves money. It seems like everyone has completely forgotten what actually happened hahaha
No dizzy they told James Gunn we're going to fire you and then hire you back once the heat dies down that's why James Gunn never spoke out against Disney. Not really anything new.
I think Disney realised that alt-right Karens are numerically so small that their commercial influence is negligible. That is why "go woke, go broke" has repeatedly been shown to be false.
James Gunn is a madman and he's gotten to work with both of the Big Two. What a legend, am I right?
Stop making that poor eagle hold that pose.
I love shows like this that are just stupid unapologetic fun.
I had a blast each week with this.
I think because Vigilante was so popular, and James Gunn said he hasn’t fully written the second season yet, that he’ll put in a lot more about the character’s backstory.
I trust that whatever changes James Gunn would make to Batman would feel 100% more like Batman than Zack Snyder got away with.
He'd do a Silver Age Batman with Bat-Mite and Ace the Bat-Hound and aliens and time travel and shit and *still* sell it. Though it would probably also be as violent as The Dark Knight Returns.
Bruh batman was a murdering machine yes but I think Zach wanted a broken batman who over time becomes the batman we know
They NEED to get Snowflame in season 2. This is the ONE show where that character can work. Don't miss out on this DC.
Yessssss! Perfection. Need another wrestler to play him
Well we got them in Harley Quinn. Which was a surprise when I realised who it was but not when it came to understanding why that show chose to use them.
Can we just talk about the music in this show? So amazing
After a crap week love seeing theres a new vid really improves my mood
My second favorite superhero TV show ever, after Daredevil.
@@voladisco They're both in my top 5
That’s pretty big being it’s only been 1 season 🤩
For me it is better than daredevil because it has the right amount of episodes and has no filler. I love daredevil but it is a few episodes too long each season.
@@splitint3021 you must be joking.
We all know that Inhumans can't be topped.
To answer the title; yes
As the one and only Vigilante fan in the world this show broke my heart for a bit but I came to like their version. Just wish they used someone else like Red Tool.
Funny that the comedian was supposed to be Peacemaker since Peacemaker would be totally on board with Ozy's plan and wouldn't need to be murdered.
Peacemaker as he was *before* the events of this story, anyway.
The butterflies are completely original and just reused from an old story James Gunn wrote
Look I can see the similarities between this and the suicide squad in the way that the butterflies are similar to starro, but I think the butterflies were done much better. Compare them wanting to save humanity because of their own past to starro just being pissed at people experimenting on him and just wanting to be alone. People are saying they’re literally the same forgetting that and ignoring that starro is a hive mind where the butterflies are individuals who remember their own lives when they take people over. I think that’s better tbh
i never skipped the intro
Vigilante gives me kick ass vibes in the show
The reason his dad looks bigger on the stoop is cause the Gunn wanted to pretray that inside peacekeeper, he feels like his dad more him than his is. B.E.A.utiful ending shot!
The only intro I never skipped.
I do believe this is the best DC live action thing yet but my guys blue beetle has a following not the old one but the second with the scarab he is one of the few Mexican superheroes and one of my favorites it does the venom movie thing of one voice choose extreme violence and the other wants to just help
I agree, best show ever....loved the actors, they had great chemistry with each other, Vigilante is my favorite 😁 GREAT SHOW !
I thought the reason it was similar to suicide squad because when he got the thing saying project butterfly he was like "oh is this like project starfish its not a mothra is it?" But its small mind controlling butterflies. I kind of thought it was a joke it was slightly similar.
One thing that did annoy me a little is that there wasn’t more emphasis on Rick flags death and how it changed him, because right from the get go it feels like peacemaker is a different character. He is much less serious and doesn’t seem to believe in his whole kill as many men women and children thing, even know after killing Rick flag he still tried to kill rat catcher 2. Also wasn’t a didn’t like that the threat felt much larger then the threat in the suicide squad, and I know they have reasons as to why they could only use this small team, but even then they still call in for back up but only way after they have learnt the magnitude of the threat.
Well the no back up thing is explained in show also the show literally deals with why he kills less because of him killing Rick flag and him realizing that his kill for peace thing makes no sense and he's trying to change his ways
He had killed flag like, less than an hour before he tried to kill rat catcher 2. He had not processed his actions like, at all yet.
This really helped on a 4hr train journey guys! Ty! Also robert pattrick is such a great guy in person, met him last year so funny and so chill! It's crazy how good he plays a horrible guy lol
Loved this series
I wouldn't say that Peacemaker is the *best* comic book adapted series, but it's definitely at least *best in class.*
What I mean by that is, comic book to film/show adaptations really fall into two main genres.
1) The "Serious" Superhero film, that is trying to be more of a drama and grounded in reality, very light on comedy (and sometimes no comedy). Batman Begins, Logan, Daredevil (show)
2) The light-hearted, "Fun" Superhero film. Often adult humor. Guardians of the Galaxy. Suicide Squad (the good one). Deadpool.
(Then you have a lot of the other Marvel movies and Spiderman, a mix of both)
Peacemaker obviously falls in that second category. And for that category, it's definitely the best comic TV adaptation made so far. Bravo. Very entertaining.
(I just wouldn't go so far as to call it even better than say a Netflix Daredevil or Punisher - which were also incredible, but completely different, they fall in the first group)
The Boys is better than Peacemaker.
The answer…. Is YES
Im throwing my dog the invisible bone.
I think this show would be the best way to do the darkseid invasion without having to do a second justice league movie
God I hope Peacemaker and Robotman can meet and make fun of other superheroes.
Pre-acquisition Captain Atom was the inspiration for Dr Manhattan, and re-vamped post-acquisition Captain Atom had more than moderate success over a number of years. Also, the original Charlton version was a co-creation of none other than Steve Ditko. Yes, THAT Steve Ditko.
One of the other Intro's that I never skipped was The Expanse!
On the topic of the unskippable intro, it's genuinely amazing that it goes from campy and funny to more and more dissonant and somewhat uncomfortable, by the end it feels like a coping mechanism
I need more Eagley and Vigilante.
I think the villain they tried to take from the comics was Insect Queen
This show was excellent, can’t wait for the next season
Other than Batman and maybe Wolverine, the most entertaining way to present superhero characters is with fun, light-hearted stories featuring well choreographed action
James Gunn is DCs best “property”
The last episode really upset me on how much the team fumbled about ... Messing up the'mission' over and over
as of recent? no doubt the answer’s yes
They finally gave Freds Dad a tv show
You guys need to review Doom Patrol. Another great DC show!
Liking for throwing "Cocoon" into a list of dystopian sci fi horror flicks.
Peacemaker is an amazing series John Cena was the perfect guy for this Role I can't decide which DC show is the best peacemaker or Superman and Lois I'll say for right now Superman and Lois still remains my number one favorite DC show of all time right now and peacemaker come in second place at third place is Titans
How bout? They all good shows. You don't need to rank them for no reason.
I would put Harley Quinn above Peacemaker too and Swamp Thing.
Titans? That show sucks, literally the only good thing about it is that it had a backdoor pilot for Doom Patrol, which is actually good
The most impressive thing about James Gunn is he has now managed to pass TWO projects through DC/WB - The Bowel Obstruction of Film Studios
The fact that they are good/great is practically secondary.
"The Bowel Obstruction of Film Studios" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Perfect.
I wonder how he would do at Sony...
My current movie mogul fantasy head canon has him going to Microsoft and setting up a studio for them to turn their new juicy IPs into billion dollar checks. A big budget, R-rated Starcraft movie franchise with James Gunn as EP / 1st Director is the personal end goal here.
@@AverageDrafter Or maybe some Mass Effect, as a treat?
The show feels like classic old school Vertigo comic series, done live action. And done right.
I enjoyed this show quite a bit; solid mix of emotion, gore, weird, and (I felt) good character development.
I think it's in Grant Morrisons multiversity Theresa story called Pax Americana where they do watchmen with these characters Dr manhatton is captain atom
Vigilante reminds me of Krombopulos Michael from Rick and Morty, just a happy, pleasant killer.
My big take away from this, is the video editing. Love the looping gif with a dancing eagle
Only other tv comic property I can compare it to as having a clear vision of a writer/director (though a completely different tone) is FX’s Legion
18:30 pretty sure I saw Mr Mind in an episode I’ll check times and update later but there was a scene where they panned up to a window and there was a tree with Mr. Mind on it
I never liked Cena as wrestler or as actor, but his peacemaker (in the movie and here) was great and I love we will see more of it
Ezra Miller might have folded two cameos together here. He popped up on the Flash, and then Peacemaker. Both of these were shot in Vancouver. Jason Momoa spent a few years shooting in Van, so he had clearance.
I think the intro unskippable can't lie. I like rap. My favourite part is when the song swells into a hopeful harmony and peacemaker spins his arm around with the gun coming toward the camera. And Amanda Waller can't be in it because she's moody any boring.
