Title: Peacemaker (HBO) Post by: MahrinSkel on January 14, 2022, 09:19:35 AM John Cena's Suicide Squad spinoff, with James Gunn. Not getting much of a promotional push, but it's fun. First 3 episodes out together, last episode (8) on Feb 17 for those who just want to binge it at once.

He's kind of a less-fun bad guy by the time we finish up and he's also never ever been a good character in the comics as such.

Two words: James Gunn Title: Re: Peacemaker (HBO) Post by: Khaldun on January 15, 2022, 05:18:15 AM Yeah. I dunno why I'm not feeling it, I liked the movie well enough. I'll give it a shot when I clean the decks of other things I'm trying to finish.

How about the greatest opening credits sequence of any TV show ever? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mrr3UNALww (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mrr3UNALww) Also, speaking more seriously. The show is doing a good job humanizing him. I had similar concerns to yours but I think during his darkest moment in Suicide Squad a character growth moment started and so far the show seems to be continuing that.

'nuff said. Title: Re: Peacemaker (HBO) Post by: Abagadro on March 15, 2022, 07:50:40 PM I just made "Do You Wanna Taste It" my ringtone. :grin:
Title: Re: Peacemaker (HBO) Post by: Threash on March 16, 2022, 08:55:10 AM Eagly 'nuff said. I love that they got Dee Bradley Baker to "voice" eagly. Title: Re: Peacemaker (HBO) Post by: HaemishM on March 21, 2022, 09:28:09 PM Three episodes in and absolutely fucking love this. If you don't like James Gunn, you won't like this. If you like Guardians of the Galaxy and wish it was a little sillier as well as more "adult" (cursing and gore), this is the show for you. The soundtrack is just wall to wall campy metal/hard rock and it is great.
Title: Re: Peacemaker (HBO) Post by: NowhereMan on March 30, 2022, 11:03:20 AM This was fucking brilliant and I'm really glad I made time to watch it. I guess lucky for me I was laid out with flu last weekend so spent it with the TV rather than going out enjoying the good weather.
Title: Re: Peacemaker (HBO) Post by: HaemishM on March 30, 2022, 07:27:51 PM The season finale was hilarious, especially the cameos. More of this please.

What a great show. Title: Re: Peacemaker (HBO) Post by: Velorath on April 13, 2022, 12:42:12 PM Yeah. I dunno why I'm not feeling it, I liked the movie well enough.

I had similar concerns to yours but I think during his darkest moment in Suicide Squad a character growth moment started and so far the show seems to be continuing that. Just watched through the show and it was entertaining enough, but I really, really don't think they earn the change in character from how he is in The Suicide Squad. |
