After seeing Alan Tudyk doing the peacemaker dance, I got to thinking about how he is in Doom Patrol too. He is in like, a LOT of DC stuff. He also, evidently, has voiced Flash, Green Arrow, Superman, Clayface, Joker, and even Alfred in an audiobook podcast thing. When I was looking it up, I saw he was in Powerless, too. I had completely forgotten Powerless even existed, and it wasn't even that long ago. I found it on Amazon and watched it, and couldn't remember anything about it. It is so bizarre how it just misses hitting the goofy comedy of Doom Patrol and Peacemaker. People get bloodlessly killed, sitcom style, and it just is shrugged off. Some of the jokes are cute (The main doesn't know she is dating a Riddler henchman and he shows up with a Green Lantern ring shaped bruise on his face) but some of the jokes are so cartoonish they don't make sense (One guy puts together a model of WW's invisible jet, it is a child's toy that they sell at walmart that is literately invisible, so that tech just exists for everyone and he jet isn't special or anything). Weird racial "jokes" (the main makes whipping noises at the one black guy, later calls him a slave), weird sexual jokes, everyone in the office uses Batman's cousin's private bathroom, weird in universe jokes like putting lids on Ace chemical vats so less people fall into them and get turned into villains, Lois Lane dies and everyone thinks that Superman will just rewind time so they have a "No Consequence Day" until they see Superman happy at Lois' funeral with a new girlfriend. It got cancelled so fast they didn't even air the whole season, just a big swing and a miss in tone.

I like how after Snyder failed spectacularly to make people care about the DC universe they switched gears and just embraced how loving dumb comic books truly are.

Senator Drinksalot posted:Snyder and Jenkins, isn't ww84 roundly hated? Hated is probably a little strong, but people do seemed to be pretty put off by it on the whole thanks to some weird script choices (especially involving Steve Trevor) and just seems to be regarded as kind of a let down after the first movie which people mostly thought was good.

GOTG was one thing but I'm incredibly impressed with the Scandinavian glam bands he found that are perfect for this show and are finding their way onto my playlists. I wonder if Wig Wam ever thought they'd have a song this well known. Nail Rat fucked around with this message at 04:31 on Feb 10, 2022 |

chitoryu12 posted:After today's Book of Boba Fett, I'm very excited for Peacemaker instead tomorrow. I think the reason James Gunn is jamming out so hard with DC is because they let him have full creative control. He writes R movies when left to his own devices. Disney doesn't seem to want to cross that bridge. Going by the post credits thing and preview, this all bears a resemblance to his movie Slither. pr0p fucked around with this message at 10:02 on Feb 10, 2022 |

Now that's a tragic backstory. And poor Murn  I would love it if Judomaster was just lying and trying to throw Peacemaker off guard when he said the butterflies aren't what you think they are. Did I forget why are they are keeping Judomaster alive? lol the vets. The speech wasn't that inspiring. 99% chance that the "cow" gets telefragged, right?

The bit with the Raccoon and Peacemaker's helmet nearly killed me, and then I actually died when they showed Peacemaker covered in scratches. Great episode all around.

Speaking of Judomaster, I only just found out that during the opening credits he's hiding in the background in several of the earlier shots, poking his head out from around the corner.Mokinokaro posted:The only two in costume that are probably doing their own stunts are Cena and the guy playing Judomaster and I'm not even sure about the latter. I looked it up and Nhut Le is a trained martial artist and stuntman but he hasn't had a whole lot of experience, he had a stunt double for certain shots Snowglobe of Doom fucked around with this message at 11:55 on Feb 10, 2022 |

I sorta feel like Judomaster might be the victim of some rewrites or something but they still wanted to keep the sweet fight scenes and the fun actor in. Like, he's not a butterfly, says "the butterflies aren't what you think", seems to be working with them but doesn't seem to be in contact with the butterflies currently and yet still knows to go to Murns apartment and attacks them. Unless there's a big shoe to drop still, feels like he's acting at cross purposes to each faction we've seen.

I mean, I know Augie Smith was a giant piece of poo poo already but HOLY gently caress he is a giant piece of poo poo  Unrelated to that, Vigilante being concerned about irritating the skin of his hostages when he'd been perfectly happy 10 seconds earlier to just murder them was great, and I loving love everything involving Economos and Eagly

The show is really enforcing the idea that Vigilante is not well. He might be a good guy at heart, but he needs a serious intervention and probably a bunch of therapy sessions. I really can't see him accepting the idea that Peacemaker doesn't want to kill people anymore. (Shooting Nazi Iron-man dad is an exception to that and he should have done so eariler.) By the way, did Vigilante even kill any of those Nazi goons? I'm pretty sure Economos got most of them, while Eagly pecked of the rest.

I liked the casual confirmation that Peacemaker is bi. One of his father's reasons for killing him is that he sleeps with degenerate women and men.
