In this post I made a while ago, I blabbed about Peacemaker, how much I was anticipating it's release, and why I love the series.
And to my explosive excitement the first episode dropped on the 21st and I got to watch it the next day. It felt so good, damn 😃.
I was not disappointed by anything, it picked up right where it left off.
Talking Points:
Retrospective Changes/Alterations
They did something in this second season that I think is quite remarkable and that other movie fans would consider remarkable too, and that is how they tried to alter a little of the details from the first season.
As we probably all know, DC is starting all over again, new Superman, new Superhero cast, everything! But the first season of Peacemaker was made before they decided to start all over again. They had also made it before deciding they'll like Peacemaker to play a more inclusive role in the new DC universe, so they had to alter a couple things now that they've made all these new decisions. Peacemaker also had a cameo in Superman (2025).
And they didn't do much, luckily they hadn't put too much of the old DC universe into the first season of Peacemaker, so all they had to do was pick a scene from the first season and made it longer when they recapped season 1. They used the extra length to show the new Superheroes and even made them have a little dialogue that shows they had been part of this universe all along.
That was okay, though, it was exciting to see that they have bigger plans for Peacemaker because I love this series and I want to see it stay.
The Orgy Scene
There was one right there in the first Episode, it seemingly came outta nowhere. It was such a good scene. Lol. Nothing beats a big event in an Episode, and this was it! 😃
We all know sex sells, and I think that's what Gunn was counting on, an orgy scene with a familiar face like John Cena, it's the kinda stuff that should get people talking and watching. But even though the skeptic in me felt it was more of a marketing ploy it was still a cool stuff to watch 😃.
Still Funny as Fuck!
This is one thing I love Gunn for, the humour! Mixing humour with serious stuff has always been the stuff that gets me the most when it comes to stories and such, and Gunn is quite the genius at doing this.
But I think he does it even better with Peacemaker. The scene where Peacemaker interviews to join the Superhero group "Justice Gang", had me in tears 🤣🤣🤣.
I Can Tell There's Some Mind-blowing Plot Cooking
It's kinda too early to tell as I've watched only one Episode but everything was just so good and nicely set up that I can feel a great plot brewing. Hopefully nothing fucks this up, but I have a lot of trust in Gunn.
Same old Supporting Characters
It was so great to see that the whole gang that formed in Season 1 came back again for Season 2. Economos, Vigilante, Harcourt, Adebayo. I love all these guys, especially Vigilante. It was so good to see that they didn't make any changes to these guys and that they'll continue being supporting characters in the series.
All in all, Peacemaker Season 2 is proving that it can still remain one of my top 3 series of all time, I'm just gonna enjoy the ride! 😀 Who else is enjoying this?
