DarklyDreaming posted:There's two characters who have the name Vigilante in DC comics. One is a Punisher knockoff with a costume similar to the one we're seeing on this show (Adrian Chase), the other is a modern day guy in a cowboy costume (Greg Sanders) The cowboy version got referenced in the live action Stargirl show as well, in an olde timey photo of the Seven Soldiers of Victory superhero group  Also if people aren't familiar with the comicbook history of the Peacemaker character it got pretty fuckin' weird quote:Smith learns that his peace-through-violence efforts were the result of a serious mental illness brought on by the shame of having a Nazi death camp commandant for a father. He believes his father's spirit haunts him continually and criticizes his every move, even as he tries to live down his past.

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:I like it. Note that every time the butterflies have tried to kill or torture someone so far it was out of defense. The blonde butterfly in the apartment read the dossier about assassinating butterflies, the senator just watched his whole family get murdered. Hypocrisy posted:Senator Butterfly seemed pretty dismissive of human empathy though. That's also a standard torture/interrogation technique, acting like you're a remorseless killer with no feelings to psych them out.  Jose Oquendo posted:Could be one of several DC characters who are gorillas. Or it could just be a normal gorilla who shows up later to perform a comedic act of violence. We might be getting that Doom Patrol crossover sooner than we expected!

By the way the title for the next episode is apparently 'Monkey Dory' which is a big clue as to whether a certain something from the previous episode will become a factor. Jerusalem posted:The utterly ordinary way Vigilante said,"So why don't you just kill your dad? CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:That and just how easily he was manipulated by Leona. Vigilante is terrifying. Yeah, Peacemaker also has a ton of issues but he's actively struggling with them and occasionally questioning himself. Vigilante is just rolling with it and having a blast. That scene where they just had a threesome and Vigilante not only refused to take his mask off and expose his identity but he was angry that PM and Amber were sharing a joint and says "I can't believe they legalized that poo poo. Three years ago I would have shot both of you in the face for that" pretty much summed up his character perfectly.

" really helped get across that the dude is incredibly hosed up, in a less showy way than him casually sniping the kids. His mindset is bad people need to be murdered and the idea of killing your own father if they fit his category of bad person* doesn't feel any different to him than killing any other criminal. The guy's insane, albeit extremely entertaining and weirdly adorable in how much he looks up to Peacemaker.

boo boo bear posted:he's a part-time busboy at whatever passes for a tgi friday's in the dc universe. 'Fennel Fields' (i googled it) which I guess might be more of an Olive Garden equivalent???? Also I guess one factor in Vigilante's performance is that they reshot all his scenes for the first five and a half episodes so James Gunn ended up directing all the Vigilante stuff we've seen so far

Chris Conrad. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Conrad_(actor) I don't think anyone involved has gone into detail over what happened except to cite "creative differences"

Kaedric posted:Gunn really likes the theme of aliens taking over human bodies, what with Slither, Suicide Squad, and then this He also has a recurring theme of having characters who started out as being annoying/offputting but who we gradually come to really like over the course of the story but then get suddenly killed in a pretty dumb way right before the big finale.

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 |

twistedmentat posted:Judomaster will probably show up at the end at the farm. He probably knows enough about the Cow and the farm but probably doesn't know whatever hosed up poo poo the Butterflies are planing for the Earth. He'll show up RIGHT as Sophie explains what they're going to do and is all "I kicked so many peoples asses for you guys, gently caress you!". I'm expecting that he'll turn up at the very very end after Peacemaker & crew have killed everyone and finally tell them that thing he was trying to tell them and they'll all go "Oh poo poo we hosed up really badly, we really should have listened to this guy earlier! Oooops!"

He also had two literal white dragons that are completely unexplained. He was basically a Z tier filler character in a Nazi themed super villain team. That Nazi-themed super villain team 'Fourth Reich' is fuckin' crazy, their names are so lovely quote:Team Leader: Captain Nazi

It's like they had one of those Facebook meme things where you go down the list and pick a title that corresponds to the first letter of your first name and a name that corresponds to the last letter of your last name and that's your Nazi supervillain title. I wonder what the Nazi equivalent of "Moon Moon" would be

Everyone posted:That reminds of something somebody said about (pre-Trump) Rudy Guiliani. I'll paraphrase because I can't recall or be arsed to look it up online but it was something like: "Rudy treats every problem like it's a life-or-death crisis. On most days that makes him an rear end in a top hat. On 9-11 it made him a hero." My go-to example from fiction is Burt Gummer from Tremors, the insane prepper gun-hoarding rear end in a top hat who turned out to be awesome at killing graboids.

For season 2 they should have the superhero plot play out during the opening credits and have the entire rest of the episode be a coordinated dance number

chitoryu12 posted:Adebayo is a former dog shelter employee with a wife that she has to keep in the dark about everything and risk her relationship falling apart every day because of it, or risk never coming home at all. Not everything needs to be a "subplot" that progresses and seriously impacts the plot. Her marriage is a defining part of her character and motivations. Also having someone outside the 'in group' who a character turns to for reassurance is a tried and true method for writing scenes that make it more obvious that a character is going through inner turmoil. "I know you're a good person. "Yeah I'm not so sure any more." We've all seen it a million times before. If the character is a real loner the writer usually uses a bartender for that purpose: "Thanks bud, you're a really good listener" "Hey it's all part of the job"

Darko posted:Against common sentiment, I'd say Snyder - only that he reads Elseworlds and big "Crisis" sagas that are more "epic" and character interested than the monthlies which Marvel emulates more. Gunn is just not as earnest as most comics I've read (and I've read thousands at this point) - only certain ones like Deadpool, etc. make fun of themselves simultaneously as much. Comics are normally SUPER self-serious and don't contain many audience winking or making fun of themselves jokes at all. Gunn stuff is closer to what people think comics should be than what they are.         etc etc etc times a thousandIf that's your honest opinion of superhero comics then you have an extremely narrow view on the genre, they've always had a large element of self-parody, self-satire and straight up parody all the way back to the 1930s.
