Official ‘Peacemaker’ Thread | Season 2 premieres August 21st 2025

So we know that there's a dimension out there where all non-White people are locked away in concentration camps... and yet we're never returning there again. Those people aren't going to be saved or rescued.

Really, James Gunn? Fukk you. I wanted to see some Nazis get blown to smithereens

If they cant stand on their own and be a good show? Yea trash/waste of time. Just because something sets up a bigger picture doesnt mean it isnt a waste of time. I also think it's dumb to compare Peacemaker to the million other comic book shows that arent tied in to movies because they dont lead to nowhere. They telling a complete story for the most part. Watchmen doesnt lead to anywhere, still great series.

The Penguin - On it's own, a great show, it setting up shyt for the Batman Part 2 is just the icing.

How do we know any of this? Are you suggesting that Gunn doesn't have a plan or anything mapped out and that he's just throwing shyt at the wall? I don't think that's the case at all. 'Peacemaker' Season 2 could very well have been the next chapter to his larger overarching story arc.

I think some people are jumping the gun, no pun intended. Also, @King Static X you said I'd defend anything Gunn does? I have posts on here criticizing him as well. If you want to say I defended something that didn't make sense or whatever your point is, you could have typed out where I was wrong

Maybe try dealing with the words I actually type instead of making up shyt? Where did I say he just throwing shyt at the wall?
Saying Salvation shyt felt tacked on =/= Gunn throwing shyt at the wall. Two totally different statements. He can have this big plan mapped out for the DCU and still fumble the peacemaker season, which he did.

As far as how do we know, it's evident with how this season turned out. Checkmate, Salvation, Flagg's turn, all that shyt was rushed. Hell they didnt even explain what checkmate was.
Gunn said the original script for Peacemaker ended with the Checkmate montage. Peter suggested doing the cliffhanger/chris kidnap shyt.
Keith was originally pose to be killed.

Felt like he had the character shyt with Peacemaker Season 2 down with the main crew. Chris' arc/Harcourt stuff/Auggie X etc. Those parts were good and fleshed out. But then he got the idea to do Salvation Run and that being part of MoT. Enter episode 8/Finale and using all that to speedrun setting all that shyt up. If all this was the plan when he first wrote the season, then all this shyt wouldve been fleshed out more and breadcrumbs wouldve been dropped throughtout the season.

When you use a show to properly plan out shyt to lead somewhere, you do it with care and get The Penguin. When you rushing to slap shyt together you get Peacemaker S2. Now he doesnt have to waste time in MoT in setting up the Salvation shyt and can jump right into kidnapping metahumans and putting in Salvation. This probably saved them 20-30min in the movie to use for something else.

I had been keeping up with this through social media and other recaps. Decided I’d finally check out a full episode since it was the finale…..

Nah, the entire season revolved around Flagg and Argus trying to capture 'Peacemaker' and find out what was going on with the multiverse shyt and they discussed the differences between what Lex was fukking with in 'Superman' vs. what was going on with this, it was clear they wanted to gain access to the device and had an end goal in sight. The end goal was an attack on metahumans, they can't really kill all of them but they can possibly make them disappear. The war on metahumans goes back to the 'Superman' movie.

It's all tied together right in plain sight and people are still saying "they didn't explain it durrrrrrrr"

Feel free to tell me where the lies are in my post.

 

[Ribbs]

You missed literally nothing lol. Just two music video concerts and a couple montages. I'm not even joking

I fast forward through that concert on the boat dock cause there was no need for all that. Reminded me of Elliot's song on Euphoria.

At this point it's obviously you gonna blindly defend anything. So I think this convo is done about Peacemaker, huge fumble from Gunn. Hopefully he does better with MoT.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Excellent season, I enjoyed myself.

Didn’t even know it was Season Finale… and almost thought it was a Series Finale with the way the ending felt…


But they got me for Season Three fasho

Yeah

I understood perfectly what was going on. It all made sense, especially if you checked out the new Superman movie, no matter what you felt about it

 

[QBN]

Finale was trash... that "stop fkn my heart in the @ss" song was distractingly vulgar and just reminded me that James Gunn was supposed to be cancelled for his pedophile comments but I guess he has powerful people in Hollywood who brought him back.

I'm done with this series, but to each their own

 

[EzekelRAGE]

The candy world was a nice touch, didnt realize that was the world that Auggie X was talking about the imps jacked off in his cereal when Chris was little

Yeah

Watched Superman, Flagg's turn and being friends with Lex's crew still makes no sense

..... and that band aint even from the 80s . . . . that song came out in 2014 - the band is a satire act . . . a heavy-metal version of LMFAO . . .. if this was 1993 they would be called Green Jello....
