Peacemaker (HBO Max)

[Nick]

Takes place after a movie in the DCU, has characters from said movie, then has cameo's from characters outside the movie PK came from, and every episode name drops someone from the DCU.

Surreeeeeee not at all apart of the DCU at all and sure season 2 wont be as well.

I never once said it wasn’t connected, I said loosely connected. I know it takes place after TSS (Which I also loved) and has characters from that as well, but it doesn’t change my position. Even the JL showing up was just an excuse to pay off the running gag that Aquaman F’s fish.

The only thing in this show that will have any impact on the larger universe is that Task Force X was exposed. Now you can tell me how wrong I am all you want but I don’t care. This is my opinion on it.

How about you don't call my new favorite hero, Peacemaker (PM), "Peacekeeper (PK)"?

He doesn't kill to keep peace, he kills to make it.

Or something.

Why break something that doesnt need fixing?

 

[Jerroddragon]

Yeah

If they top the opening from season one cool but it’s a high bar

 

[Tbad556]

I mean, several of the characters in that intro

Spoiler

are dead now

, no? Would make sense to update it for a new season. Obviously, the bar is high though lol.

Different casts results in different openings.

 

[saint.piss]

This is so dumb, lol

 

[Jerroddragon]

I hate canon for this

So one of the best works he’s ever done is not cannon to the new DC?

Stupid just really stupid

What's the actual point of continuing the story if you're not maintaining what the character has learned, experienced and how he's grown and developed?

I'm sure it'll still be a fun watch but man that's disappointing from a substance viewpoint.

James Gunn needs to log off. You remove all sense of mystery by cow tailing to every needless question posed by incessantly hungry yet dissatisfied fans.

Yeppp.... Literally the most chronically online director I've ever seen

Don't clarify anything! You don't owe anyone anything! Don't even mention "canon" at this point, people are sick of that stuff.

 

[Dead2009]

I mean it's pretty obvious he wants nothing to do with the universe that the first season of Peacemaker was set in, lol.

It was never explained on whether or not the seasons would be standalone when it first came out though, so if people are confused, he kinda has to as he's the creator behind the show, lol.

The main thing is that final scene with a bunch of characters from the DCEU. I think that’s what he means when he says most is canon but some things go outside the lines.

James Gunn must have an incredible work ethic. Filming Superman, filming Peacemaker, and tweeting a response to every inane question thrown his way...so much work.

That's why his hair went fully white just within a couple years, lol. Joking aside you're right. Also, he isn't only just directing Superman and working on Peacemaker, he's also developing the other DCU projects since he's co-head of that division. Can't imagine the amount of stress he endures

I'm just saying that if I were making a 250 million dollar movie that would probably determine the fate of my job, I would maybe have the wherewithal to delegate the tv show and the tweets to someone else.
