FIRST TIME WATCHING: Peacemaker S1E8

Whether you watch Creature Commandos next or not (and you should because it's amazing), be sure watch the re-cap at the beginning of Peacemaker season 2 episode 1. It not only recaps the previous season, but also introduces a few key retcons that help explain how Peacemaker, a show that used to be part of the DCEU, is now part of the DCU.

We never DID find out how Goff felt about the color teal.

You really should check out Creature Comandos since it addresses the fallout of Taskforce X being outed and it also introduces a key character for Season 2 of Peacemaker that you’ve actually already seen in the New Superman film but the Creature comandos explains his whole deal. And it’s also written by James Gunn.

Yaaaasss~ Loooved watching you go through the season! Excited for whenever you get to season 2~! Super happy you really enjoyed the final two episodes too~! Can't wait to see what you'll do next, Natalie~ Keep on Keeping On, and thank you So much for doing what you do~!!

Ya gotta watch Creature Commandos before the second season of Peacemaker, they make a couple of call backs to that show on the second season that may fly over your head. There’s also only one post credit scene to that show and it’s on the last episode but it’s nothing crazy, it’s more of a joke scene. Also it’s just a really good show you might enjoy, so maybe, possibly, probably, at least add it to a poll.

I was a fan of the show from the first episode (strangely, I didn't vibe with the intro until the second episode, though. I guess I needed to see the "tone" of the show first), but yeah... these last two episodes are SO GOOD. They were a BLAST watching them again with Nat, too! edit: Oh yeah, they really did a GREAT job at making Peacemaker's Pop "hatable." Kinda reminds me of the new Wolfenstein games, since those games make the bad guys feel so good to hate in them. Well... I guess they're literal Nazis in those game, lol. Not too far off with Auggie, though. Man... seeing Harcourt learning to walk again in the hospital again makes me choke up all over again, lol. Not to get all "life story," but it reminds me that I was in that position too, with physical therapy and the learning to walk and the belt they had to hang onto in case I fell and everything. It's strangely easy to forget, lol. I guess it's not the "best of memories." I'm babbling... Thanks for the watch-a-long, Nat! Looking forward to the next (whatever it may be)!

Its been a fun watching this with you Nat, i still love the theme song/dance..

Season 2 is far better than season 1!

I might go long here but whatever...There is an animated series Creature Commandos in the new DCU that you could watch and it is not long at all, it's 7 25-30 minute episodes, Season 2 immediately explains the universe change to the new DCU bc ofc that Justice League is not The Justice League of the new DCU. Once you watch you will get it more. James Gunn did The Suicide Squad and S1 before he was in charge of DC and was like we might as well keep some of the characters and actors and change some of the history as will be seen. For example Jason Momoa is not Aquaman anymore, he is playing Lobo in the new Supergirl film next year. Margot Robbie will probably get cast as someone else too so Harley Quinn can start fresh with a new actress with a new Joker, hopefully Barry Keoghan's Joker with Robert Pattinson's Batman, and Harley have no Suicide Squad background. Gunn is close with her so she will get something if she wants. I need Matt Reeves to run Gotham in the DCU though because his Batman projects like The Batman and The Penguin are too good and prestigious with box office, awards, views and another version would get outshined. The Batman - Part II might get best picture at the Oscars and sweep the awards the way the script is being talked about right now...it is definitely making over $1B. He and Gunn are working on an animated Dynamic Duo story about two Robins Dick Grayson and Jason Todd too, a standalone story I think. As long as Reeves wants to do it and he gets to finish his vision I am down. Pattinson and David Corenswet together is too perfect and the DCU would break box office records. Include Aaron Pierre as John Stewart Green Lantern, Isabela Merced's Hawkgirl, maybe Edi Gathegi's Mr. Terrific, whoever they cast as Wonder Woman, and more for The Justice League. Just let Reeves run the Gotham side of the DCU he already has his hand in everything Batman, even an animated show Caped Crusader on Amazon. He already had a deal with WB/DC and big role there, Rob too. We will see what happens but I am just glad DC is back on top. I love DC and Marvel but DC always been better to me and they are starting to prove it again.

I think season 2 can wait a little bit longer. First of all, we’re only getting four episodes of Stranger Things for the time being. Second, for continuity purposes I highly recommend Creature Commandos. It’s only seven episodes, each episode is about half an hour long, the animation is quite similar to Invincible at times, and with the entire season written by James Gunn you get to check out more of his craft. Now THIS is my favorite episode of the entire season. Second place goes to episode 7. Third place goes to episode 5. James Gunn has proven that he cares about the characters he works on with the Guardians of the Galaxy and the Suicide Squad. With this team it was no different. He wanted to leave them in a better place than when they started. Something I loved about this show that I don’t know if people talk about enough are the roles Harcourt and Economos got in this show. They were minor characters in Suicide Squad, but then we got this show. Not only did they have more lines, but they also had more to work with and we got to learn a little more about them.

Hopefully Season 2 next week.
