Peacemaker (HBO Max)

[Krangodnzr]

Ah, gotcha. By and large I've loved the Marvel movies, though I'm not watching them all any longer. By and large the DC movies have sucked, but not, IMO, because they're DC. I'm not one of "those" Marvel Fan boys.

What I take umbrage with from Marvel fan boys are the ones who criticize the DC movies for a "darker tone".

Personally I hated Thor Ragnarok from a stylistic perspective. I thought the movie was funny and fun, but I thought it didn't take itself serious enough. I mean, Asgard was destroyed and Thor and his crew are making jokes right after? That's kind of stupid IMO.

Actually, I thought Thor Ragnarok was atrocious. They absolutely wasted goth Cate Blanchett, and just relied way too much on the yuk yuk.

 

[Covert Rain]

Please at least say you hated the 1st one a thousand times worse, because...wow.

I hated the bad guys (including Leto). The rest of the characters I liked. Both movies disappointed but I really hated the second movie. I wanted it so bad to be better but the writing was lazy (cartoon, cliche bad guys), what I posted above and another alternate universe copout.

Are you a Marvel fan boy?

No. Grew up on DC. My favorite hero is Batman. I can just admit that most of the DC movies have been sub-par efforts while Marvel has been hitting it out of the park. DC simply does TV better than film. DC movie fans deserve better.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

I am, but I still love the good DC movies. The SS remake definitely qualified.

Ditto

 

[Jersey Girl]

I kinda think... not really.

I didn't watch Suicide Squad, but did thoroughly enjoy Peacemaker.

 

[AsUpRoDiGy]

This show = epic. Kudos to Gunn for his GF, also.

Season Finale was NAILS. Wont say any more that could ruin moments for y’all.

Have not watched it yet. Going to today!

I'm no John Cena (or Suicide Squad) fan, but I guess I should watch this.

Same here. It's no secret I thought the second Suicide Squad was cliche, had lazy writing and had one of the silliest endings ever with Patrick Star. However, I really think this show is funny. You should give it a shot. Even though I don't think Cena is a very good actor his "style" fits the tone of this show.

Count me as a former skeptic turned big fan. I think Cena gets a bad beat for a lame attempt to break into the action pantheon after wrestling.

He’s actually a pretty hilarious comic actor. Was really funny in that movie about parents trying to keep their daughters from sex on prom night and Vacation Friends.

And Peacemaker has been the perfect character/vehicle for him to combine action and the comedy chops he’s honed to perfection over the years.

I think that is fair. He does comedy MUCH better but I think because he comes off as "cheese" as an actor. You are talking about Blockers and that was hilarious.

Yeah, Blockers. That was it.

 

[Covert Rain]

Yeah, Blockers. That was it.

Butt chug!

Awesome show from start to finish.

 

[PDXChris]

yer kinda spoiling it posting that not only is there a cameo, but the line as well.

Didn't feel I was spoiling anything, but ok.

I'm in the same boat with regards to SS.

To those who have watched, are the SS movies a prerequisite to this series or can we dive in?

They are only slightly a prerequisite. You can certainly watch this without having seen them. They’ll bring you up to speed.

I LOVE this series. And I never knew who peacemaker was despite being a comic book guy in the preteen years. And the finale was flat out fantastic.

Skip the first Suicide Squad.

The second one is much better and better if you watch realizing it's pure ridiculousness, you should enjoy it. John Cena is hilarious in Suicide Squad and follows it up with even more hilarity in Peacemaker.

Fantastic finale. Loved it.

Yeah... I started watching the second one again late last night. That movie is just pure, ridiculous fun.

 

[Stout]

What a show, and what an opening sequence. Simply marvelous. This is miles better than anything Disney Marvel has done.

 

[Krangodnzr]

Just finished the last episode and it did not disappoint. My opinion, easily the best comic book show because the character is a dumb one that is done fantastically. Great writing to take a C list comic villain and bring him to life.
