FIRST TIME WATCHING: Peacemaker S2E1

I think stranger things is only having 4 episodes come out soon with another 3 near the later part of December and heard these episodes might be 90 plus min long each, you could get away with just doing one stranger things a week possibly that would roll right out to when the next batch of 3 are being debuted

Just a couple things I wanted to mention: -Yeah they redid the scene at the end of Peacemaker season 1, purely because the DCU is a soft reboot of the DCEU. And so they wanted to make it abundantly clear that although 99% of Peacemaker season 1 is canon in the DCU, that Justice League cameo isn't. Man of Steel, BvS, and the Justice League film(s) aren't canon, nor are the Wonder Woman, Shazam!, Birds of Prey, Aquaman etc. films. And so we're starting mostly fresh, thus we have the Justice Gang show up instead. -Regarding the stripper bunny. That's an actual DC character named Jaina Hudson/White Rabbit, a Gotham socialite though she is a villain in comics. James Gunn loves his deep dives. -Those digs at Thirty Seconds to Mars part way through the episode and in the post-credits scene are due to Gunn's own sharp dislike of Jared Leto on a personal level. Largely due to allegations of having a cult and being inappropriate towards underage fans. Like, he's taken potshots at Leto on Twitter. -That moment when the alternate Auggie Smith leaves the room and tugs on Chris' ear affectionately was entirely improv'd by the actor Robert Patrick. (Who, I don't know if anyone's mentioned it yet or if you noticed yourself, is the same guy that played the T-1000 in Terminator 2.) -Like many have said the new song choice does grow on you. I think Gunn said that season 1 is about Peacemaker, while season 2 is about Christopher Smith. And there's something more emotional about this new song that I think fits season 2 better. It's called "Oh Lord" by Foxy Shazam. And the song played the second time Chris enters the alt reality, "Dreamer", is another one of theirs. Hell, the song in the Superman 2025 credits played by the fake band that Superman loves, The Mighty Crabjoys, is just Foxy Shazam playing a song written by Gunn and band leader Eric Nally. There's also another Foxy Shazam song played in season 1 episode 1 when Chris arrives via cab at his dad's house, "Welcome to the Church of Rock and Roll". Okay, I've rambled too much....James really likes them....and he turned me into a fan....

GOOSH it is a packed first episode, and I also wasn't into the intro song at first, but it really grew on me as the episodes went on. Also, not a spoiler, but it made me laugh each time when my partner noticed some episodes into the season that Rick Flag, Sr.'s actor is trying to not laugh at the end of the opening song after he lays down on the floor. Excited to see the season with you Nat, however the episode releases turn out~

can we plzzz get loki season 2 on the next show poll? you gotta get back around to it before avengers doomsday next year

What a pleasant surprise! I wasn't expecting more Peacemaker for a while. Like maybe after the holidays, but I'm super happy to see some now, lol. I think I felt the same way about the intro song too, at first. It wasn't 2 or 3 episodes into the season before those thoughts just went away though. I guess the song "grew on me." Have a great Thanksgiving, Nat! Safe travels back home!

Really disappointed with the opening song and dance, its no way near as good as the 1st seasons...

Really hope Nat doesn't become the type of reactor to watch tons of shows at the same time. Always feels lame to me when I see that happen.

Flag was meant to have grey hair to look older since that what his design in the animated series Creature commandos has (that show is set before this one) but Frank Grillo was also shooting Tulsa King this show and Superman all in a very close time frame so he had to keep his hair Black to keep inline with Tulsa King.

Shame Peaky Blinders hasn’t got a S2 watch yet, but this show did

I hated the intro song at first too, but it grows on you, by the end of the season you'll love it!

Frank Grillo (Rick Flag Sr) is like 14 years older than Joel Kinnaman (Rick Flag Jr) in real life, and James Gunn said Rick Flag Sr had his son when he was 18. A 4 years difference between Frank Grillo and Rick Flag Sr doesn't seem too implausible I feel. On the other hand Rick Flag Sr is supposed to have gray hair, as per the Creature Commandos animated show so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

shouldnt carpet absorb the shakes.. lol

Glad to see Roy from The Office is still doing good after all these years.

Happy Monday Nat. Damn, you did jinx your team when you stopped streaming yesterday 😭 Close one though. Looking forward to more AOT this week and FF 😊

2 episodes of aot this week… sweet

Thank-you for the content also...

First! And lame....
