Gratitude for the detailed answer. In terms of point 2, not even TV shows? I'm not even thinking in terms of money but how they see the image of their heroes and what kind of content is... appropriate for them.

TV show wise, they've been experimenting a bit. Titans had Nightwing say "Fuck Batman" and the show was quite dark and violent compared to what we'd typically expect, and whilst I've not seen Doom Patrol, as I understand it it's a pretty dark show too. I think it depends on the character though. They don't tend to like using their "main" heroes in TV (i.e. Batman, Superman and WW) because they're always worried about "confusing the audience" or cannibalising their brand.
Never say never though. Weirder stuff has happened, like the fact we even got a Peacemaker show to begin with.
Would love to see a PG-13 Peacemaker in the Blue Beetle movie, just trying his best not to drop an f-bomb on Jaime
I had such a wonderful time watching this show. I'm going to miss it. Everyone involved did such an incredible job.
So is a scene like this reconned from existence in Peacemaker Season 2 continuity if the Flash movie erases Supeman?
I'm just glad Vig is (presumably) sticking around. Freddie seems to be having such a great time with the character.
yep
We all know Gunn did this for us Stockholm syndrome Flash CW watchers.
Judomaster and the cheetos is amazing. I need to see more from him in s2.
Agreed!
I know it's almost tripe to say, but after watching TSS (which I loved), I didn't think I needed a Peacemaker show, but man was I wrong. This show was great, and I can't wait for season 2!
That audience growth is very impressive. Word of mouth in effect, I guess.
It's not tripe. It's a common sentiment here for a good reason. Many of us weren't sure we wanted more of TSS Peacemaker, myself included. Many of us were blown away at how well this show landed. Makes me wonder, though, if S2 will have a hard act to follow due to audience expectations starting much higher than they were for S1.
I think they may be loosening their hold, as Batman is in Titans. Could be an outlier, but hopefully not in the future.
I should go back and find an announcement thread and see what the reactions were. I would expect pretty skeptical, though I was cautiously optimistic because of the tone of TSS.
Really love the last shot/scene of Peacemaker, his dad, Goff, and Eagly.
Also, I'm happy Leota and Keeya ended up happy together. Glad they didn't kill Keeya for Leota to be motivated, or for their relationship to end because she chose to stay and help.

I'm going to go against the grain here because I was hyped since it was announced and it was my most anticipated show. And it delivered on my hype so I am extra happy.
Yeah, absolutely. Sounds like you just had to adjust to the show's tone, not that the first episode was worse than the others.
What I'll say is, it was suuuuuuper hard for me to get through the first 2-3 eps, because they really leaned into the cringe comedy, and I have like 0 tolerance for that. But after that? Nothing but gas, baby.
Honestly, outside of like the episode where they all started to really bond, the first was probably my favorite
The whole sequence of Cena just having this extended fight butt naked, culminating in him blowing up the butterfly woman with his sonic boom helmet, just told me that yea, this show was gonna be a good time lol
John Cena pulling "haberdashery" out during what I assume was an improv has just made him my hero.
I thought that first set of episodes just took a bit too long setting things up, the series only really felt like it was rolling (to me) once we found out what the butterflies really were. Those first few episodes were still good, it was just hard for me to get a good read on the show until the end of them.
Maybe…the humor felt really forced and the dialogue was just bad. It's possible I just got used to it by the second episode.
Ah, so I guess this confirms that Cena actually did adlib some names into the list rant. lol
What an amazing show
It kinda blew away every mcu series on Disney plus and it's right behind daredevil season 1

Their TV stuff was already great given Doom Patrol and Harley Quinn, unless you're specifically talking about the DCEU
Rewatching this and while it still holds up the pacing is so bad
I was gonna post daredevil season 3 which I think is brtter but it'll be unfair to compare own season to 3 so I comprised lol
A lot of the post credits scenes also confirmed this for me. Was cool to see that the vibe on set was very silly.
S3 is also gonna be a bit of a slog once I rewatch it, but now I'm confident that S3 is easily its best season
Idk about that. The Comedian has had decades to proliferate; Peacemaker got a lot of visibility, but Watchmen has been read by sooooo many people over the years.
