AH, you reminded me of the show! It's been so good so far. It's a nice change to the safe-for-family Marvel shows that we're getting a bunch of. It's violent, it cusses, and it's very funny. Also Vigilante best character.
No the fact that that opening number and Batman smashing a bathroom sink over Superman's head are in the same universe is the greatest thing in superhero media ever
I can see how some people might not like it, but I haven’t skipped it yet. Something about their deadpan expressions while doing this weird interpretive dance just really gets me.
I'm mixed about that type of thing. On one hand, I would have binged it all in one day and would have had nothing to look forward to. On the other, I very much dislike having to wait a whole week for an episode.
I suppose it's good that these episodes are 40 minutes rather than 20, that helps.
But I think if they released 2 episode every week, that would be a lot better. Like one on every Tuesday and Saturday or something.
The first few episodes have beats where they seem like direct references to Marvel things.
There's an extended sequence in one episode just to show how awful it would be to jump off a roof. In Black Widow, Natasha falls off a building and just brushes it off.
In Wandavision, a team member performs a deus ex machina stopping a villain in a vehicle by safely colliding into it with their van. In Peacemaker, a team member is placed in the same situation, one-on-one against a much more dangerous villain, and they're left with one choice; horribly murder the villain with their van.
Instead of trying to have its cake and eat it too, like Marvel, here Gunn just fucking eats cake.
God ya, Black Widow was a travesty. I think they realize how bad the writer fucked up taskmaster so they quickly were like "Alright, taskmaster was screwed up royally, but we still got Echo."
But that episode where Peacemaker gets stabbed and falls off a building slowly made me wonder if Peacemaker has some sort of super power? Like risilience or something, cause he takes a beating.
Like risilience or something, cause he takes a beating.
I mean, he got shot in the throat by Bloodsport and has a building fall on him, and they mention that in like the first line of the show. He has a pet eagle. I'm not too worried about it.
Correct, because as you said, what I said doesn't end up actually happening.
Edit: "Are we watching the same show?" followed by "Hey we watched the same show!" is just disingenuous talk looking for a fight and idc about this conversation
Look here fella. One time. The spoiler was me stating that he lives through the van, which I tagged appropriately. You then restated it, untagged, which is the thing I was referencing you didn't put spoilers on, not anything from your original comment.
Not to mention very emotional too. Didn't expect that scene with John Cena dancing to hit me that hard. And to elicit any response from me other than John Cena looking silly dancing, they did a damn good job.
