DC's Peacemaker |OT| There is no I in Peace. [Spoiler tag until episode drops if anything leaks]
- Thread starter ContractHolder
- Start date
- Video/Streaming OT
Since Peacemaker and everyone else knows what he looks like, he's started to stop putting any effort into hiding his face.
Idk, it's probably just mainly following meta logic at this point that it's easier for the actor to emote and what not when you can see his face
At first I was wondering why the butterflied detective was acting so blatant in front of everyone, then like 10 minutes later I got my answer. Next episode seems like it's going to be an absolute bloodbath.
I will say that while the show has been a fun watch week to week, it's still not really my favorite thing Gunn's done. A lot of the humor is clumsy or just doesn't land for me.

These butterflies are straight up a less gross version of the aliens from Slither, another James Gunn masterpiece.
Just got caught up and I love this show. But...
Hope so!
Does anybody else think Rick Flag might still be alive? The way Peacemaker put out the theory about people hit in the heart being able to use their kidney or whatever had me thinking he might not be dead.
Hope so!
He was still underground if the building that fell. And Starro breaking out probably wrecked it even more. Peacemaker was on the surface when it collapsed and was hurt less
This is what I'm wondering.
Judo Master was seemingly not a butterfly but mentioned that there was more to the butterflies than Peacemaker knows. I think that combined with the peace sign might mean that Murn might be the secret villain. Though it's possible Judo Master is a butterfly and that + the peace sign was them trying to trick Peacemaker.
I think this was him being in denial about what he did. "Maybe I didnt kill him?" It was like bargaining in real time but I dont think he actually believed that garbage.
I think this latest episode is less funny than the ones before, probably because the story became more serious now.
Oops. Judo Master. Yeah, I really hope they resolve that plot point and bring him back. He is one of my favorite characters.
I dont think the Murn butterfly is the villain species. So far anyway he has shown some regard for human life. The others have not. They seemed determined to take life and blend in as much as possible for an invasion.
Peace can mean anything. It reminds me of that episode of rick and morty or heck even Angel where the idea of peace existed at the cost of free will of everybody. In both situations peace was achieved through control of others.
I guess we will see but we just witnessed a blood bath by the butterflies, dont think they are all that good.

Yeah, considering how many people Goff just killed in one fell swoop I don't think they're really the heroes.
Yeah
Murn specifically has gone out of his way to not kill humans and orders the team not to hell he gets mad at them when they do fucked up shit
Goff basically just murdered an entire station worth of people and doesn't seem to care and casually tortures
Judomaster does seem to imply they're not totally evil but they're not the good guys either
I would wager it's a thematic nod to the title character; both Peacemaker and Goff imagined themselves as harbingers of peace but are really mass murderers. So Goff might be trending in the opposite direction of Chris.
Yup, it seems like Goff subscribes to the "We want peace, no matter how many men, women or children we have to kill to get it" approach based on what we just saw. Murn seems much more restrained.
They showed how brutal the butterfly taking over a person is and had Murn express regret even though he found the worst person he could to take over. It would be pretty weird if they said actually the butterflies are good. Goff probably made the peace sign because she spent enough time around Peacemaker to realize he's an idiot.
I'm reminded before Guardians Gunn made Slither a body invasion horror movie but alien worm/slug things instead of alien bugs with some body horror
I really hope this butterfly/alien invasion plot spreads over other DC shows and even DCEU movies. I'd love if this gets a mention in Shazam or Aquaman 2. Or even as a central plot of an unannounced movie. Mister Miracle perhaps?
And I don't want a second season of this, I want Gunn to try other obscure DC superheroes. On top of my mind:
- Peter Cannon/Thunderbolt
- Mighty Crusaders (The Shield, The Web, Jaguar, Hangman, Black Hood etc)
- Spy Smasher
- Bulletman and Bulletwoman
- Deadman
- And of course, Ben Schwartz as Plastic Man. Though I rather have this as a feature film.

Yeah I don't think Murn is the bad guy. He looked visibly shaken when Peacemaker told him about Locke's murders.
You can't have Ted Kord alone... All of his friends also need to be there for his full humor potential. Justice League International! You'll have Blue Beetle/Booster Gold bromance, Batman punching Guy Gardner, Flash getting rejected by Fire, incredible chemistry between Mr. Miracle and Barda... Perfect Gunn material but also needs a bigger budget.
Yeah. I was kind of disappointed how little Murn we got this week, because Chuk is doing SUCH a good job with him. Hopefully we get some good Murn scenes in the last two episodes.
Also when Vigilante killed Goff "family"
First time he meets Locke he pretty much killed him a monster to his face when the team wasn't there
Considering it's James Gunn, no. He did something similar in Slither.
The mini Starro's were like that too- and also instantly killed their hosts and peeled their faces off if you tried to remove them.
Yep Peacemaker had literally just scolded Vigilante for almost killing cops. I feel like that was very pointed. Whatever these aliens are doing is not a good thing. If violently killing humans for their bodies wasnt an indicator I am not sure what else would be.
God damn, eagly is hardcore. It's funny cause i thought that to myself while cracking up before Vigilante ended up saying it 🤣 shame about the detectives, hope they can be saved
I'm betting that this is exactly the case. They've decided humans are too violent and are destroying the planet, so they're going to "fix" things.
I do hope Sophie and Fitz can be saved, they don't deserve that. I do like the stupid smile gag though.
I laughed way too hard during the butterfly vagina conversation and when PM and Vigilante were zig zagging through the forest while Eagly is taking down everyone.

Basically every show shot in Vancouver for the past 25-plus years.
Yup. Chris Heyerdahl is the Omni-Actor of the Vancouver casting scene.
As someone who basically lives and breathes movies most of the time.
Yeah that was one of the more violent possessions I've ever seen.
But it does make sense they have to drill through the head to get to the brain.
Yikes a season ending with Ted's sacrifice would be rough.
