[@daimonclarke]

Peacemaker is the first show I can’t skip the intro on. I’m enamoured every time.

[@boochtron]

every time? you make it sound like it's been 10 episodes lol

[@daimonclarke]

@@boochtron I’ll skip intros after the first episode on most shows. Let people enjoy things.

[@dingus2k]

@@boochtron what do you gain from this?

[@GATESOFKELL]

James Gunn is the master of endearing weirdo mascot characters. Rocket, Groot, King Shark, Eagley. I dunno how he makes all these dumb characters so cute and compelling.

[@dejjibd424]

Ah nice, Greg is in these reviews. I’ve only watched episode 1 so I’ll be back to watch this after I’ve seen episodes 2 and 3

[@elcapitan2293]

Hilarious. I can't wait for more.

[@MaximLight269]

James Gunn only directed 5 episodes of the show! These first 3 are all him

[@laughwithmarc]

Them saying is it all James Gunn may be in reference that he solo wrote all the episodes himself. So, it's clearly all in his voice.

[@timc2620]

Andy's camera feels like it has been at 10fps for the last week on content.

[@Neon_Rust]

I laughed at this show more than any comedy show in probably the last decade.

[@laffindees]

Andy

[@zestyfarquad4110]

Can't wait for more of this show. The intro caught me and my girlfriend so off guard we couldn't even believe what we were watching hahahaha loved it!

[@Cultaholic]

It's strange to see John Cena go from clean-cut babyface in WWE to this character in Peacemaker, you can see he enjoys these roles!

[@Efc22724]

Just finished the first 3 eps, and I agree!

[@AlexLove631]

James Gunn with consistent bangers! This show is so good. The humor is organic, the action is well choreographed, and much of the story being about empathy makes it great. I’ll never skip the opening credits. Also, I cannot believe Batmite is confirmed in the DCEU lmfao. What a damn shame Affleck is done after the Flash movie. Here’s hoping Gunn continues with the DC because I’d love more of his suicide squad or a Bloodsport series.

[@key1862]

I was surprised how much I enjoyed the show. The intro absolutely cracked me.

[@cdoy]

They nailed the tone of this show so well and I’m excited for more.

[@iHeartGameDev]

This show is so damn good! I am literally chuckling as you guys recount the funny moments. I think that's a sign of great comedy!

[@Roneish1996]

The bat-mite joke had me laughing a lot.

[@Roneish1996]

I’ll will die on the hill of Steve Agee being awesome.

[@Gbomb82]

I’m sorry but when Nick talks about the Aquaman bit in his hat I can’t stop thinking about Life Aquatic

[@piusdoe8984]

1.Tim thts definitely not why marvel fired him. 2. Agree with everything else. This show kicks ass. But damn these are bad ppl. When tht lady shot tht bodyguard even after he named his wife and theyv been together like 17yrs! Why on earth is wala making her daughter work with them? Guess she trying to make her hard-core

[@rhysedwards245]

Way better than I thought it would be. Excited for the rest of the season

[@jorch1220]

Been gone for a while, I missed these guys

[@josephgreen1083]

I get strong Hot Rod vibes from this show and I love it

[@karlmoore1837]

I like this show, but like Andy, I don't love it. I wish some of the humour hit more for me and that the plot (regarding the butterflies) was a bit more original and not something from season 2 of Young Justice: If the butterflies were political enemies to Amanda and her organisation I would find it a bit more compelling/interesting.

[@bennetthasty7886]

This show isn’t great, I don’t even think it’s good, Cena is often fun but the rest of the cast are bad. This may be James Gunn at his worst. Oh my apologies Eagly is perfect but the rest are bad.

[@josephgrigsby]

I loved in ep2 the Metal cover of Pumped up Kids song during the credits and one of the lines shout out Evan. hahahahaha

[@vinnybastos]

John Cena plays this character perfectly

[@geoafe66]

Enjoyed all three episodes. The show isn't anything special so far but it's fun.

[@morhboct3]

James gun has that flavor that DC obviously needs he knows what characters use in projects which ones to reference and the ones to save for later

[@jewsco]

I am shocked how much I love this show. It’s a fun , inappropriate, thrill ride

[@PIayer_01]

Are they gonna do a screencast for Arcane? That show was amazing

[@tbatez]

The birth of a mosquito in first 30 seconds lmao what a show

[@tjrage6168]

Finally started watching this over the weekend. We like it!

[@DanClancyPatterson98]

Anyone else watching in 2023?

[@RootBoiRoot]

Cannot wait for more, officially the show i look forward to the most every week

[@SamButler22]

It's a shame that these episodes are only available to pirates here

[@Julie111110]

Nice

[@jollyrayda]

I have a theory about "dumb" humour or low-hanging fruit or whatever you want to call it - it can work, when it's paired with genuine emotion. James Gunn's work, shows like "My Name Is Earl" or "After Life", I'm sure there are other examples I'm forgetting, all strike a good balance between really stupid or crass and real feelings. Works a lot better than when it goes the mean, "punching down" route...

[@JonathanPetersonlisten2EITS]

Great review of this show! I’m also thoroughly enjoying it. UNRELATED QUESTION: Is the KF crew gonna review Arcane season 1?

[@laughwithmarc]

I personally enjoyed all 3 episodes. Only complaint I have is I am not feeling Harcourt. Nothing against the actor, her character just doesn't jive with me in this show. Going off that I think Nick is wrong saying she's the audience surrogate. Leota is definitely the surrogate. She's the fish out of water newbie, and the most normal of the bunch.

[@ConnorCreed3]

Funny you mentioned the back and forth between Peacemaker and Vigilante in episode 2. Gunn is great at making jokes funny, not funny, then funny again. It always circles back and I've seen that in a lot of his movies.

[@kovvi-]

I must say that I am actually enjoying this show over any marvel or star wars tv show. I am actually looking forward to the next episodes. I think it's just the production quality and acting that is really making the difference for me.

[@dv2244]

I enjoyed the first 3 episodes. I just hope I don't get sick of every single person being a wacky character. The best part of Peacmaker is the fact that he was the crazy odd man out. So far he seems the most normal in the show.

[@neojd]

This show is firing on all cylinders for me. Gunn’s music choices are so good, I don’t even skip the ending credits either. Love Vigilante the best, like Kevin said his movements are so good.

[@tristanmayer5373]

I didn't love this so far, I thought most of the jokes missed and I wasn't interested in the characters. I'm going to stick it out and see how the rest of the season goes, though. Love Gunn, Cena, and DC, so I hope it grows on me.

[@dakotaallen5672]

Its incredibly unfortunate how much better this is than every single Disney+ show across both Star Wars and Marvel. This show is freakin great.

[@karlmoore1837]

"...inviting him into your area is dangerous.." No truer words have ever been spoken in a KF show.

[@kvoltti]

The strength of Gunn's work is that as madcap and out there as it is there is alwasys a solid emotional core and foundation in humanity.

[@daimonclarke]

It’s sad seeing peacemaker being stunted in a teenager maturity level. Being trained as a child soldier really messed the guy up.

[@TheSkarekrow04]

I wonder if the issues with Vigilante could spring from the mid series actor switch.

[@dejjibd424]

So I enjoyed all three episodes. Intereted to see where the show goes.

[@gowsa2233]

Vij might be my favorite character

[@510MyTube]

I'm luke warm after the first few episodes. Only a few jokes landed for me. ill give it a few more episodes and try to like the series.

[@theycallmeebola]

Really enjoying the show, and at this point I’m in for the whole ride. One of few but still prominent critiques I have is Gunn’s use of his das rock. Could just be that none of the songs speak to me nostalgically, and/or that they all song extremely similar; but I think it’s also that it’s soooo much of each song used. Almost every time it drags the scene’s pacing for me. I think it will be less grating or a non-issue as the show goes wk to wk

[@captainpackage7]

Nick Scarpino, I am shocked that you didn't give a shoutout to the actor that played the bodyguard that got shot. He was Buzz McNab from Psych. Feels like the number 1 Psych fan would have noticed this

[@joefayant6143]

It’s fine, nothing special

[@MalakithSTL]

is it just me or did andy come back with a bigger head? not an ego thing i mean his actual head grew bigger?

[@X5J2UY]

I enjoy some of it. John Cena and some supporting cast members are entertaining, but the overall humor is so cringy in many instances. I get that Peacemaker is supposed to be an adult, who's mentally stuck in his teenage years, but man....the humor really feels too tried hard and not natural at all. Reminds me a lot of GOTG Vol.2 humor, where 1 out of 10 lines actually worked, but they just kept on going. Other than that, the action is solid, the cast have good chemistry and Cena is entertaing af

[@VirtuousContract]

I feel like this show trying so hard

[@LiteSkinSexy1]

I went into this expecting not to like it. I’m happy to say I was wrong. This show is dumb, and I love it.
