Peacemaker (Page 4 of 4)

I still think the worst of this show is better than the best of some of the other shows I still watch.  It's ridiculous and over-the-top and funny, and that's just what I need sometimes.

Welcome to the forums, great to have you here!  Pretty ok, I agree, we're pretty ok. Santah will be so proud of us.  lolz.

As per your comment, I in no way thought James Gunn was writing a cool story, if anything I thought the ending was completely on brand.  Peacemaker is carnal levity that attempts yet often fails to provide catharsis, which is why we watch it...for stupid fun, you know, turn brain off and watch with beer and nachos, and a happy meal, and a party platter, and.......maybe I'm just hungry.....

You saw that they cancelled it, right? Or are you being ironic?

Cancelled?  I just think there are no immediate plans for a season 3 and that the Peacemaker story will be continued in other shows/films.  Bit disappointing, but here's hoping for a season 3.

I felt the same way, I honestly couldn't get past ep1 of Season 2 yet. It was just.... a tonal drop from the last one IMO. I wish Economos had been shown to be secretly hanging out with them all and they were all getting along or something. Just too many negative vibes the first ep after ending on a high note at the end of season 1, it was jarring narratively. Also, on several watch throughs I couldn't skip the opening scene either! Just such a good score, and the expressionless faces while doing the dance were definitely interesting. I could say some artsy stuff about interpreting the dance, but I'll pass on that.

Lol, you guys still have any hope that the DC universe movies, TV shows, or otherwise won't stop being a complete mess? James Gunn is no Kevin Feige (sp?) A Marvel-style merged cinematic universe from DC ain't gonna ever happen. Ever.

There's just way too much incompetence and disjointedness out of DC right now for it to happen. I say this as a Huge, Huge Superman fan. I would love nothing more than to have it be so, especially since DC hasn't piecemeal sold the rights like Marvel has. Which is why they can never bring in the X-men with the characters they've popularized, which WERE completely minor characters no one really cared about back in the day.

I liked James Gunn's Superman. As a standalone movie it was amazing for a superman fan. I can't believe he pulled Krypto off right. And wow, what a Mr. Terrific. Nathan Fillon has been voicing DC characters, specifically Hal Jordan for a while now. Him doing Guy with the goofy ass haircut was a treat as a DC fan. That said. He's insane if he's going to try and build that universe out. Origin stories exist for a reason, and while we've seen too many superman origin stories over the years and to some extent they're right we don't need another one... to establish a DC universe, you kind of do. What I would love to see more than anything is a Batman/Superman film that covers both their origins and them meeting for the first time.

While we're on THAT subject... where's our Smallville remake? A James Gunn version of Smallville would be kinda awesome... may need to write some letters lol.

OMG. I'm watching a 5:30 interview with the choreographer for season 1 and how she came up with the steps, etc. Since her "assistant" (i.e. husband) is not a trained dancer (just like much of the cast), but moves well, she tried the moves with him first. The interview shows them dancing. Her husband? Alan Tudyk.

I'm halfway through my 2nd watch, I really like it. such a shame it ended.
This is one of the few shows I never skip the title screen, it's so well done and really catchy.
When i heard the new song for the 2nd series, at first I was pissed, as I liked the old one so much, but it eventually grew on me and now I like it much more that the first series.

They're remaking Buffy and Scrubs? I have no hope for Scrubs, they already tried to do a season without JD and Turk and we saw how that went. Buffy though... that could be interesting. I thought Whedon was done though, given the number of women he abused, including the original Buffy.
