Lot of interesting developments in the last episode. Also don't mess with Eagly.
That was too extreme. Didn't think he would be that deadly, yow.

I hated the whole swarming bit, aw.

Those poor folks :(

Those infested cannot be reverted, right? The butterflies, like, destroy brain matter?

Oh! I forgot! Judomaster was human but NOT infested, right? Why not? There must be a reason.

The "Beutiful Monster" segment was incredible! Setting up the threats of the alien invaders alongside the pillowcase racists (outside evil vs the evil within our midst). I really wonder how our scrappy band of maniacs can deal with these threats.

Yeah, they definitely seem to take out a good portion of the brain or something. It's irreversible.

Ok, was there a hero in the 90s named White Dragon? I feel like there was but probably not racist. Why would they pick the name 'dragon' tho if that's either eastern or European myth.

I'm going to assume that the Cow is a show creation, like maybe how the butterflies were too.

I believe grand dragon is a term associated with the KKK, so they're making a name association to white supremacists groups.

Basically when someone hears white dragon as a potential supervillain name, you know that person is a white supremacist just by name alone.

Oooh I didn't know about kkk uses grand dragon as a term. Well, whoever White Dragon is, if he's a hero, too bad his name got dragged in the mud, hehe

There’s a “White Tiger” who has a somewhat similar mask design you might be thinking of.

Huh. I'm actually underwhelmed by the finale. I didn't feel anything big happened to Peacemaker, oooor else it was too subtle. Ala

he is still a person following orders. He didn't kill butterfly Goff cuz he/she wanted what he/she offered, to take over and tell him what to do to make a better world. When Goff came back, he saw him/her/whatever as his dad telling him what to do again. The only that humanizes him is what made him kill the cow, which is friends.

Dyebeard dropped the proverbial ball at the start, ugh.

I knew there was something up with Judomaster.

I had the issues but I don't remember the name but Amanda Waller had a daughter in a 12 issue Suicide Squad that got cancelled in the 2000s. Issue 1 had the Injustice League killed off except for Major Disaster (though Cluemaster and Clock King came back in other issues?). Killer Frost was in a bug related issue. Anyhow, the last issue had the tech guy (forgot his name but I wasn't Dyebeard) and Waller's daughter get killed. Without checking the name, is she the one here in the tv show?

The White Dragon I'm thinking off had... a comic? I think? But Geoff Johns killed him in Roulette's underground arena. I thiiiiink he was White Dragon. There were a bunch of C list heroes who were getting killed off (like members of the Global Guardians pictured on a wall) and I remember a hero talking to another hero while they fought. One slays the other aaaand I'm thinking he's White Dragon?

I really should just Google.

Aaaaand I googled. The hero character who got killed in JSA and who I mistook as White Dragon was Firebrand. The name is waaay off but, well, the two soooorta looked alike?

Posted about s2 ep1 in the DC movie verse thread. I guess I should have searched for a dedicated Peacemaker thread first.

Saw ep2

The break-in was the best part for me.

Hope the blindness will translate into dinosaur attacks, haha

The roof deck is the usual 'found family' bit that Gunn likes.

Hope Flag isn't the bad guy here.

I'm assuming the best friend bonding is when they had a threesome in costume from s1?

Gotta be honest, was not expecting a full frontal orgy scene in a comic book adaptation. Even an R rated one like Peacemaker.

Ep 6 reveals that Spider-Man exists in the DC movie verse!

Also Superman fan should watch the ep.

And I got spoiled by someone speculating online about it but I still laughed at the end.

Any folks remember the Body Doubles? They're two lady mercenaries who don't even have super powers. I knew about them from Resurrection Man (from wiki, I didn't know he was revived for a 0-12 issue New 52 reboot. I should look it up since I liked his original run but didn't like DnA on Legion). The two don't even have codenames and are very, very cliche to the point that they're fun, haha. Depends on artist actually. Jackson Guise made them look like streetwalkers but Joe Phillips made them look like drag.

Anyhow, Peacemaker ep8. It's over. Nice with the two comic references, really.

Considering how comic reference-y and how sexual the show it AND how James Gunn does obscure characters, I kinda kinda think / hope he brings the Body Doubles into the next season. They would fit. The two in live action would be their salvation from comic obscurity, maybe.

Oh, from the last ep, I really thought the mustache guy from Superman who given a distinct look for a reason. So glad he used for the TV show and will probably appear in the next movie etc.

On a whole on Peacemaker, I still dislike two things about Gunn.

His use of music
His buddy buddy family family dynamic
