Is he a bad guy here? Or a hero?

He was in the (suprisingly great) Suicide Squad and was definitely a baddie among baddies. Presumably will be a baddie or tweener on this.

He is America!

So... yes.

Cena's earnestness is what sells the character. He plays him without a shred of irony. He really surprised me in Suicide Squad as I expected to hate Peacemaker.

I'd really like for HBO to get Suicide Squad back. Maybe it'll be a cheap rental on Amazon over the holidays, but I'm definitely down to watch this at some point.

It'll be back within the next couple of months. All of their big movies come back when the Dvd releases.

It just looks better and better with each new trailer. I especially like the inclusion of Vigilante as a dorky friend.

1. Thats looks good!
2. I love John Cena
3. MY GOD T1000 looks old

He appears to play him as what he thinks is full good guy and not an totally ass or evil. Nice.

Peacemaker's whole bag is that he thinks he's the hero.

And yeah, this is looking hella* fun.

*is hella still a thing with kids today?

I found his character in Suicide Squad extremely timely.

Marvel does not have a monopoly on end-credits scenes.

Read a few reviews and they seemed pretty positive. Will be getting to this at some point.

I swear to god though, if there's even a HINT of a Groundhog's Day episode, I'm outta there!

LOL. You need counseling for your Groundhog Day complex!

Just watched episode 1. It's good! And has quite possibly the best opening credits dance routine that I have ever seen.

Edit: If you need further convincing, episode 2 features a song by Firehouse:

This show is more entertaining than anything Marvel has run on Disney….and I liked the things Marvel has run on Disney. It’s also surprisingly politically incorrect. I’ll be shocked if it doesn’t generate some backlash.

But the opening scene argument alone with Jamil about his perceived racist tendencies had me in stitches.

Edit: episode two’s Louis C.K. discussion with Vigilante was even funnier. Cena really has found his niche. He’s so damn good at comedy.

You had me at Louis CK. In.

Even better than that

Heres that sweet intro so everyone can see it.

That is pretty cute.

Yeah, I can't remember the last time I actively enjoyed the opening credits for a TV show this much. Everything about Peacemaker is just so good.

It's Berenstain not Bernstein...such an absurd argument during an op

It's a thing: https://www.provolibrary.com/blog/1005- ... n%E2%80%9D).

For the record, I'm one of the ones who swears I grew up with the Berenstein bears.

I never watched it, but sounds better to me. To the revisionists I say: A stain on all your houses!

One of the very few "country" TV show songs I liked. I have no idea why. It's just a quality written song, musically, and performed well, no matter the genre.

After some brief research:
Canadian composer I'd never heard of
LeeAnn Womack performs (there we go...she's got quality pipes, though again, I am not a country music fan, ESPECIALLY almost all 'modern country" music. Willie Nelson is a god, however.)

I grew up with those bears too and I believe I thought they were bear-in-stine bears. Or more precise be-urn-stine

I always thought it was Franken-stain’s monster too.

This show has been great. I thought it looked pretty dumb from the trailers but I've enjoyed every minute of it so far. The writing is wonderful. Peacemaker is handled really well. I love the characters. Love the music. Love the comedy. It has a similar feel to GotG but with a more R rating. I was really close to cancelling HBO for a while but I'm glad I didn't.

Smoove_B · Post by **Smoove_B** » Mon Jan 17, 2022 7:07 pm

Yeah, I finished The Suicide Squad last night and immediately watched the first episode. He's really good as the character - it feels like he genuinely believes his own insanity.

Vigilante is the icing on the cake. You’ll see soon enough.

I watched all 3 episodes back to back and I really loved them. It reminds me a lot of the Evil Dead Tv series. So over the top that it works. And yeah Cena is perfect in the role.

Spoiler:
a throwaway line in episode one establishes that Bat-Mite may actually be real in this universe.

I immediately thought of you when they dropped that reference. Sure sounds canon in that universe! At a minimum greatly increases the odds that we see him in the DCEU in some form.
