Open Source Idiom posted:Freddie Stroma's so good in this show. I know it's just what actors are meant to do, but he's completely changed his physicality, and the poo poo he's doing with his voice, it's just so loving good. Yeah, I looked him up because I couldn't believe I had never seen him before, given how funny he is, and he was Cormac in the 6th Harry Potter? I can't see it, he's unrecognizable here. And I mean that as a massive compliment. He's loving killing it on Peacemaker. The bit where he tries to mask his face? Amazing. The part from this week's episode where he sits down with the white power group and systematically tears them down? MVP poo poo, on a show with John god drat Cena.

On a list of things I thought I'd see on an HBO show, I didn't think John Cena and crew fighting a gorilla super powered by aliens, until one of them tore him to pieces with a chainsaw, followed up with them rocking out to hair metal in a van while still covered in the gorilla's blood would be one of them. gently caress, this is a REALLY good show.

Takes No Damage posted:I forget if it was an interview or one of the HBOMax clips posted earlier, somewhere I heard that he'll usually start with letting the actors do whatever, but if necessary he can step in and direct them down to the word to get the take he wants. Was it this? chitoryu12 posted:I've read some interviews about it. He said Cena is the best improvisational actor he's ever met, so it was really just about making sure he had the dramatic abilities. He'll also get extremely precise with actors if they're having trouble; during TSS, David Dastmalchian was having trouble with the scene where he reveals his mommy issues. Gunn directed him to stand in a really specific way that looked like an awkward child, and Dastmalchian said that was all it took to fall into place. Gunn allows improv whenever possible, but he also has a very precise creation in his head that he can direct to the inch. He's an absolute visionary and beloved by everyone he works with. Because I read through the thread earlier, and this post stood out to me, and is what you're talking about. But you might have read the interview OP here is referencing.

Twitter is apparently angry that Cyborg wasn't included with the Justice League. Which, fair enough, he should be there. Especially after all of the poo poo that went down with Ray Fisher. But no one seems to be upset that Batman isn't there, either. Oh, and great finale. Great show. So much better than I ever could have hoped for. I'm like a prophet for this show with the people I know. I won't shut up about it.

Warbird posted:So what was even the point of Judomaster anyway? Fun person for them to fight that wasn't just another Butterfly to mix things up, and prove that the Butterflies can just reason with people. Also, he was entertaining in his own right. And I'm sure he'll be back and pissed next season. My question is, how the gently caress is he still alive? They never really explained that, and I was expecting them to. I guess he's just another super of some kind, but I thought it was going to at least come up.

DeNomolos posted:loved the finale, glad my guesses about Auggie being the first helmet ghost, and the butterflies being a group that wants to stop global warming by controlling us What's this about Auggie being the "first helmet ghost"? Like, I know he's a figment of Peacemaker's mind, but are you saying he's a projection of a helmet or something? I am often very dumb, I should note.

Yeah, I'm gonna say that conclusion is definitely not on screen. Yet. You're probably right that they may reveal that in the future, but that definitely is not established in the show yet, no matter what the comics have done. edit: If anything, that may be a pretty huge spoiler, if they go that route in the show.

VagueRant posted:Enjoyed the journey, not sure about some of the destination. Show very solid and good but maybe not AMAZING. Not saying you're wrong about the cow, just a little context to maybe help with digesting the episode however you wish, they said their planet was dying, and when they came to Earth, they brought the cow to Earth to feed them. So the cow would have died on their planet, too, presumably. And the cow would have died in 100 years (though this is a long life span, it's not long for a species as a whole, since it can't reproduce on its own...presumably). But it was saved from extinction to keep the butterflies alive, and then killed by Peacemaker to stop the butterflies from staying on Earth where they would keep killing and controlling humans. A pretty mixed bag, I'd say. thrawn527 fucked around with this message at 19:19 on Feb 17, 2022 |

Dawgstar posted:Gunn by his own admission thinks they're one of the dumbest things ever but loves them deeply. This is important. Yeah, comic books (not always, but very often) can be like professional wrestling. Very dumb, but extremely good and entertaining at the same time (and yes, problematic when it comes to the WWE, but you know what I mean). So what I’m saying is, John Cena is perfect casting.

Quick trip report: I watched the pilot of Doom Patrol, and as a counter to what some people have been saying, I loving loved it. This show is EXTREMELY my jam. I'm not gonna make regular posts or anything, because this isn't the place for it. Just wanted to say thanks. gently caress, this is the kind of show I love. At least from the pilot.

Everyone posted:On the one hand it seems a little silly for us to be all "whatever happens, we must use the correct pronouns for the accused child molester." But on the other hand, it's not about respecting Ezra Miller. It's about respecting all trans people and they just happen to be a subset of "all trans people." The idea is that, while Ezra Miller might be losing their mind, and turning into a monster to those around them, that doesn't mean you have to be an rear end in a top hat when talking about them. It's honestly pretty simple. There was absolutely no reason for the first part of your post. Just don't be an rear end in a top hat about people's pronouns, no matter who they are. Simple as that.

Xelkelvos posted:The Amanda Waller series is supposed also bridge that gap fwiw. Hopefully it's not like The Book of Boba Fett which did the same for Mando Is it? When is that coming out? James Gunn's first tweet above seems to imply that Creature Commandos will be the first "chapter 1" (or whatever) project released on TV. Is the Waller show a bridge between old DCU and the new one, so...chapter 0.5 or something? This is all so stupid.

itry posted:I don't give a crap about canon, but if S1 isn't canon to the "DCU" and S2 is canon... what does that say about the connection between the seasons? S1 never happened? Terminator dad is still alive? Beard guy is still dyeing his beard? Peacemaker is still killing people? Yeah, this is the main reason I posted the tweet. I don't care if it's not connected to the movies, but if one season isn't and one season is, I have questions. I'm guessing it's more of a "don't think about it too hard, it's a silly show that won't think about it too hard either" situation. Peacemaker will have a line like, "And now Superman looks all young and different, but we're not supposed to talk about that..." and everyone else will just look at him confused. Like Deadpool talking about the different Professor X's.

For what it's worth, I found the actual quote from Gunn (even though it's kinda chopped up). https://www.darkhorizons.com/gunn-on-peacemaker-s2-filming-canon/ James Gunn posted:S2 is full DCU not DCEU… Season one isn’t canon… Many strands will remain consistent, yes, insofar as Peacemaker’s story goes…. Peacemaker Season 2 will take place after the events in Superman. Everything in Waller will take place after Peacemaker. Also, on Threads (where all this comes from) he confirmed that events in Superman will have an impact on Peacemaker season 2. https://www.threads.net/@jamesgunn/replies thrawn527 fucked around with this message at 21:43 on Mar 11, 2024 |

Yeah, Birds of Prey was good, I really enjoyed that one. The only ones I outright hated were the first Suicide Squad and WW84. Oh, and Joss Whedon Justice League. Shazam 2 was pretty bad, too. There's at least something to enjoy in the rest of them. Though I didn't see Blue Beetle (no idea which universe that counts as) or Aquaman 2.

I'm doing this from memory so I may be getting this slightly wrong, but the when you make a wish on the stone, it takes something from you as a result. Therefore, if he becomes the stone, he can grant people's wishes and then take things from them. I don't remember what things, it's a very dumb movie, please don't ask.
