Hobo Clown posted:Do we know if the cow squeezings have an expiration date? If Goff is the only butterfly left they could presumably last a while on the existing barrels as Peacemaker's second favorite non-verbal animal sidekick. Presumably, it's quite limited. Otherwise they would have stockpiled way more of that stuff. The end of the episode makes it pretty clear that he's just handing her the last few drops he owns as a final meal. She (and probably the world) is doomed and she just accepted it at this point, but doesn't really blame Chris for doing what he thinks is right. It's honestly a bit sad. It sounded like this population would starve out after a century anyway, but they wanted to have some significant positive effect before they'd be gone.

itry posted:I guess she could keep on living on some of what was left, but there are other butterflies other than the ones that were present on that field (all over the world probably). And Goff implied that Murn was part of an entire faction that were against "guiding" humanity. It'll probably take weeks, but they're all going to starve. Unless they somehow find or create a new food source. Or go back home I guess. Murn said he was the only one who didn't go along with it.

The Justice League continued to live up to the 'dickhead' rating as they most likely said 'oh well nothing we can do' and GTFO'd. They left the battlefield untouched until Judomaster came along to mourn his former buddies. I mean, c'mon, at least Superman / Flash could have neatened up the place at super speed before the meat wagons arrived.

cant cook creole bream posted:
See....my thoughts are that the "cow" was their only sustenance right at that point in time. And that's only because when they came to earth....they found that human food wouldn't work. My guess is that they were technologically advanced enough to synthesize a new food source in the hundred years that the cow would survive. Overall....I thought the show was really entertaining. Think it would have been better if it hadn't have gone AS juvenile as it did.....but it's a minor complaint. The opening titles.....amazing. Such a brilliantly executed dance number. Absolutely love it.

I'm interested in the idea of a new open in season 2. Merely swap out the characters who aren't returning? Brand new dance? New song? The possibilities are endless but the bar is set pretty high

When I heard about cameos I figured we'd see Amanda Waller again, maybe some other minor character from The Suicide Squad, or maybe one of the surviving squad members, like Ratcatcher or even Harley but Boom we get the Justice League, and I am thinking "oh its just some actors that kinda look like them" and Zoom its Jason Momoa That was just great. Though I hope Peacemaker and Harcourt don't bang next season. Though if that did happen, there's a weird post just waiting to be made about James Gunn having his girlfriend have a sex scene with John Cena.

Someone mentioned that the Cheeto pervert was skulking around in the opening before he pops out of the floor at the end. I’ve watched it a couple of times watching for it, but haven’t been able to spot him this far. Does anyone have a screenshot or timestamp of him peeking out?

Kind of weird that Adebayo’s wife is so prominent in the opening titles when she was barely in the show, never even met Peacemaker or any of the rest of the crew, and was basically just a plot device for Adebayo.

They're Peacemaker, they're traumatized and hurt from a past they probably had no control over and that's sad but that doesn't change that they fuckin killed a lot of innocent randos for their vague 'peace'. Not-Song's whole last speech laid that out, 'we make the choices you can't', that's not helping humans and keeping us from falling down the same path, that's just patronizing authoritarianism coming from cute bug aliens, just like Peacemaker's old thing was just violent imperialism with a Dove of Peace slapped on it. Great finale, 10/10 series, can't wait for season 2. Also loved the Justice League cameo near the end, cute way to make the world feel connected.

I think I've said this before, but the same sort of thing happened in season 1 of Stargirl. The villains were a bunch of cultists, creeps, spree killers, and a literal Axis war criminal mad scientist whose plot would exterminate 25% of the adult population, but a fair number of viewers got way hung up on the villains' mainifesto also claiming that their mind controlled army was going to be colorblind and conquer the world using renewable energy.

Yea I think at times people get hung up on assuming villains wouldn't be deluded and just...lie a lot...so when one says 'you don't understand, I have GOOD REASONS' some folks are gonna go 'oh...that makes things more complicated'. Like, it makes things more INTERESTING for sure, I like when my baddies have more motive than 'I am evil, I do evil because evil rules muahahaha', but yea, butterflies and star girl's genderqueer colorblind mind control army of literal nazi run cults aren't really meant to be 'sympathetic' they're just...good villains with fun interactions with the heroes because they're well written foils. Butterflies are Old Peacemaker he has to confront, Star Girl's poo poo was nominally 'progressive' shelters for people who need it with dark intents to parallel her rebuilding her own super team with similar types, it's a narrative thing more than anything.

I'm also shocked when people thought of Starro as sympathetic when he said he was happy floating in the stars. Starro chose to go to Earth after taking control of a ship of astronauts. If he wanted to float in the stars, he could have let himself out. Starro was not going to Earth for peaceful reasons.

What a great series. Loved the final battle. The fight choreography was awesome, and the theme music getting all distorted when things start to go tits up was a nice touch. I wonder if the reveal of Waller/Task Force X is going to be a big deal in Season 2. Revealing all the butterfly stuff feels significant, especially if a bunch of world leaders are going to start dropping dead soon.
