[@heavyspoilers]

Let us know your thoughts on the episode

[@StalxD]

Another metal men comic reference hmmm

[@chuchmaster23]

Prolly Tim drake

[@chuchmaster23]

2 mutants in a DC film?

[@CyclopsWasRight616]

WitchiePoo was also a TV / movie witch.

[@CyclopsWasRight616]

Superman is tied to a cross because nobody in the storyline is strong enough to shove a spear through him or nail him to anything.

[@arish_xo]

i'm not joking when i say that I cried at weasel's backstory....what an emotional scene with an amazing soundtrack score.

[@revolt81]

Same

[@connorcandlin2943]

i fkn wept

[@OrthoLou]

I didn't cry, but it made me physically sick... Honestly, too depressing.

[@Blimbus-Blombo]

It made me think of how the cops reacted during the Uvalde shooting….

[@Alpha23TV]

It’s hilarious how a character that at first seemed like a joke from the Suicide Squad has now become a main character with a fully fleshed backstory. James Gunn has a really interesting brain.

[@darkknight3939]

I Think that weasel got into beast mode with Circe, Because the princess looks like that little girl

[@tinaf7395]

😮👍🏼

[@JC.AEP2]

maybe now that think about it

[@lazylemonislazy5956]

Agreed

[@roderick8167]

Holy shit maybe , maybe Weasel was thinking about the princess no not again I'm not gonna let you almost die again on my watch 😭

[@Reason1024]

The princess was also playing with weasel in the courtyard

[@MrBranh0913]

Wild theory. But maybe Grodd is controlling the princess? Remember Grodd does have the power of mind control

[@tomcurl8034]

i was thinking the same thing since grodd is both a psychic and a tactician it would be a good plan to manipulate a head of state into helping him have the resources to conquer the world and or kill his enemies

[@cynthmcgpoet]

So does Circe.

[@moneykenny119]

I think the Professor who proved that she really is clairvoyant is actually Clayface

[@darthpelvis]

Seeing Grodd made me think that the princess is actually a gorilla, possibly Giganta. I think he did something like that in the animated series

[@SebastianAceFawkes]

Can We just Acknowledge for a Moment how Legitimately Good a Voice Actor Sean Gunn is?

[@daniellopespvh2]

Yes thank you

[@daniellopespvh2]

He make these extremely human character with inhuman existence

[@spartancdc5117]

James Gunn is doing such a great job with this show He’s showing that none of these “monsters” are actually monsters and they’ve been locked up for no good reason

[@OrthoLou]

Kind of a dangerous message to push...

[@nognit]

I like how Waller actually brought in an expert on Themyscira and Circe before allowing a villain access to her mind. It would have been very strange if she simply ignored Circe's (seemingly very serious) warning so I love how they made it make sense for her to allow Circe into her mind to pass on that information.

[@cynthmcgpoet]

I wouldn't exactly want Circe anywhere near my mind. She's a master of illusion magic, so what she showed Waller could have been a complete fabrication. Do. Not. Trust. Circe.

[@SRSPRODS]

I'm pretty sure she brought in the Doctor after Circe showed her the vision. Didn't sit right with me that Waller just walked in there. They brought in the specialist to confirm that she's clairvoyant after the fact, theoretically ruling out any sort of illusion or "Jedi mind trick," as Flag called it. The specialist even clarifies that she doesn't necessarily control which parts of the future she can see. "That's convenient."

[@DanteYewToob]

It’s something I actually respect about Waller.. she’s a monster for sure, but she’s willing to put her own life on the line if it means saving the world. If she had powers I bet she’d be going on missions herself. She genuinely believes in her own propaganda about saving the world at “any cost” and if that cost is her own life, she will pay it. She’s absolutely savage but she’s no hypocrite. Also, she wouldn’t trust anyone else to explain something like that to her second hand, she has to see it for herself. I hate Amanda Waller as a person but I love her as a character.

[@RobtBlond]

First Degree Witchiepoo and Maleficent to the Second Degree isn't just talking about the Disney witch. Witchiepoo is a character from the psychedelic acid trip that was H.R. Pufnstuf, a live action Saturday morning kids show from the early 1970s. It absolutely does not surprise me in the slightest that James Gunn remembers this show, and was probably deeply scarred by it as a child.

[@nuggetanimations155]

I’m kinda pissed that G.I. Robot is actually dead and no one even mentions it. He is definitely my favorite part of the show so far

[@matthewmarburger9110]

I know it’s sad but it’s a suicide squad Member of the team could be killed and sent on suicide missions

[@Alpha23TV]

Good point. I actually forgot also, because he was completely ignored

[@kangkaboom2592]

They will rebuild him.

[@BeardedSloth26]

Because he'll be back by the end of the show. Based on the number on his head, he's the 2nd model of G.I., so that likely means we're getting our 3rd

[@ThW5]

Howcome dead? His Central Processing Unit was still functional and just ran out of power, just needs a lot of loving tender care, doesn't even need gobberment funds: "Guys, we have here the remains of a WW II weapon system, which was a huge leap in AI development. Wanna restore it?" Lots of people would do that for free.

[@TeddieRedBear]

Who else cried to that weasel backstory 💔

[@DiegoreSCL]

dude I cried when GI Robot went caput

[@jalenikezeue4114]

Me

[@Trojan24]

I'm a mess

[@johnford4031]

100%

[@Razlo]

Definitely! And cried last episode, and during the Superman trailer ha

[@jdam3131]

I think its pretty obvious grodd will control the princess to destroy human kind and rick will try to prove that. Maybe their “love” will save her

[@dominicwilliamson7912]

So they weasel didn't kill the kids...they fed him and he in turn tried to dave them but they died anyway. And cause he's a mutant freak who can't talk or comprehend shit got the shift. Honestly it's tragic

[@Ayejimmeh]

That nightmare flashback scene of Weasels was really sad man. I think my mouth was open for a min. When we first met Weasel I was like WTF is this and ew child killer. But after this show and now that emotional scene. My opinion has completely changed and we must protect him at all costs. Some people never learn what happens when we assume!!

[@Gamerghoul19]

Sadly it's a human thing to do, Judge a book by its cover like the man with the gun and the cops. Just jumped to the conclusion weasel was evil.

[@petrenicolae3282]

​@@Gamerghoul19you see a man sized weasel dragging a kid's body in a burning building, while surrounded By the dead bodies of other kids and presumably the guy who called them here about a dangerous animal that could hurt the kids. The cops had all the rights to assume it was Weasel,the responsible one.

[@BULLETSCARER]

I loved the episode, and it was super sad. Like, I also think Weasel's lawyer is one of the kids. It makes sense as to why she vehemently believes and knows he's innocent. This show made me feel so bad for Weasel lol.

[@aceloco817]

The kid that ran out first! Good catch! The end was so tragic tho....😢

[@BULLETSCARER]

@@aceloco817 Yea, like, it makes sense lol and I think it's a good theory, and I watched it, and I thought that, but thought it was a bullshit theory lol. Then seeing a bunch of people say that, I feel kinda validated on it lol and seeing them say it, yea, I feel kinda good about it.

[@thecunninlynguist]

that glimpse of a crucified justice league was kinda bad ass

[@DylanDaPhantom]

Just finished the episode. And I’m pissed off at those cops and the old man. Shocked by the future shown. And weirded out by Frank

[@petrenicolae3282]

Just be pissed at the old man(and the kids that started a fire with matches and booze).The cops on the other hand aren't really at fault,since they tried to take down what they saw as the culprit and to save the little girl.

[@ThW5]

@@petrenicolae3282 Still second degree manslaughter of a minor...

[@RohanDurey]

It’s nice to see MT doing well on another channel after New Rockstars did him dirty, been a while since I saw his content

[@madtitanangelo5079]

How did they do him dirty?, I stopped watching new rock stars cause Erick voss became a bitchy shrill

[@joshfactor1]

ok, well, now i want justice for weasel

[@hansbendixen5430]

This show keeps getting better, weasel twist was genius by James gunn.

[@seanjenkins6840]

Great job, MT! That deep cut of Betty Baker from Hit Comics shows your and Gunn's research is on point. Also, the "witchie-poo" line is nostalgic for those of us who grew up on H.R. Puff-N-Stuff!

[@lyonspell]

Damn, Gunn's writing is so good that made me cry on Weasel's backstory.

[@RonninUltron]

Do ppl at Heavy Spoilers sleep?😭

[@leonharmadji]

Bro asking the real question🗣️

[@idontwannaidontwanna7307]

...when we got to the final flashback scene, I genuinely forgot I was watching an animated show, and truly FELT for Weasel... This show doesn't get the credit it deserves...wow

[@tomcurl8034]

weasel may not be able to communicate verbally but he understands that the kids were his friends and that everyone was in danger and he did his best to help and i hope the truth is made known eventually and he is exonerated

[@kiidkif2009]

Never gonna happen, sadly 😢

[@TheRandompaint]

Free my boi weasel, he did nothing wrong.

[@DRossGaming]

I miss MT calling me his little nerd baby.

[@javierchen6349]

Promises a lot! I hope James Gunn succeeds. Thanks MT🔥

That wasn't She-Bat that was Nosferata. Man yall keep getting these wrong last episode yall said the Fisherman cameo was Reaper, now this, yall gotta lock in and stop spreadin misinformation fr.

Loving the show and breakdowns

[@samuelsmith6820]

So am i the only one that thought ot was weird that Frankenstein used a helicopter to spy on a military base,crash said plane and no one is gonna notice? It kinda took me out of the episode along with how the kids started that fire at just the wrong moment,seemed like a lot of convenient accidents. Though gotta give it to Viola davis the scene with cerce and waller was the best part of the episode.

[@hansbendixen5430]

Yes also in an earlier episode, the scene where the sniper overlooks the area the Nazi's turned up out of the blue how could the scout not have seen them earlier ?

[@hansbendixen5430]

@@samuelsmith6820 my guess is James gunn has been overloaded with work and needed to cut corners in his writing.

[@newy0rkundead]

watch the episode again he didnt over look them he got to the lookout spot late by the time he looked thru his scope to spot them the team was already trapped

[@jamesmoten7222]

Much Respect to you MT

[@AxelordSMIJES]

Im guessing this will end up being a self fulfilling prophecy type situation. Like, if Waller had never sent the team back to Pokolistan to assassinate the princess, she would never have a reason to pop off and try to take over the world.

[@camilocuba6927]

I was wondering why DC was releasing a trade paperback based on Gorillas next year, and now I see why.

[@ZieMuffinMan]

idk, I like to think Cersei was in tears cause she saw into Waller, and saw some serious nastiness in there.

[@cynthmcgpoet]

More like a kindred spirit. Circe is a nasty one psychologically speaking. She will manipulate and lie to get her way. Showing Waller her worst possible nightmare scenario was just status quo for the banished Amazonian.

[@Reason1024]

She showed waller the future not read her mind 🤦‍♂️

[@tinaf7395]

Well at least he is not calling us “AGATHOTS” anymore lol

[@robert_bbiii]

I bet no one had Betty Bates Lady at law to make and appearance ever

[@kevz2474]

only Gunn can make the weasel a sympathetic character...lol i can see how this is leading straight into superman. I think the antagonist will be waller not luther in this one. It's kinda clear who is fightingg in the background of that picture with superman putting on his boots.

[@mytubestar1]

I cried so ugly, that my eyes are puffy 😢 What an emotional ending!!!

[@JoJoDOOM95]

The ending had me in tears son😭😭

[@farrez_gump]

Well done MT

[@Lbig78]

I understand that this is animated, based on fictional characters, but it bothers me that Amanda Waller with all her vast recourses, cannot bring an actual enhanced being with psychic abilities that can delve into Weasels mind and reveal what actually happened that day with the children, instead of bringing in a human psychologist that still doesn't understand what's wrong with him.

[@petrenicolae3282]

Here's the thing.This is post Peacemaker season 1 finale Waller,who's daughter exposed her on national tv.Right now,she doesn't have that many resources,or would even care enough about Weasel to try to see if he actually committed the crime or not.Weasel is just an asset to her.

[@ElGatoBlanco1970]

What? Dude, this was probably made over a week ago. You know they get access to the show weeks before the rest of us do, right?

[@matthewa3740]

I don’t hear anyone talking about this but Gorilla Grodd is usually known to be able to perform mind control. What if he’s controlling Ilana and her mother? That would explain the vegetative state her mother is in and the strange sexual drive Ilana has towards Flag(which from the start made me question her motives and if she’s genuine or malicious). Grodd is also known to hate humanity which could explain why Ilana is causing mass destruction, it’s really just Grodd using Ilana as a Vessel since she is in a position of power already. Just a thought…

[@craigmarlow2194]

Becareful bruh. If this show gets popular Eric boss will steal the spot light. 🤘🏽🤘🏽🔥🔥🍻

[@ctkook6477]

Awesome episode 🤘🤘

[@Blimbus-Blombo]

James Gunn does what I wish every writer would do with established IP: RESEARCH. Like his stuff is so good because he actually pulls from the source material, instead of just coming up with some new random shit. Wish Star Wars and Marvel got this treatment.

[@hamanu666]

Because they were scared shitless seeing a six foot tall bipedal weasel man they panicked. They should not have fired where a child was involved but stupidity is all too commonplace when you lose your composure under stress.

Yeah, I don’t believe that the princess could take down Superman, Batman, and the Titans along with the others. Like really? I really hope they have a valid reason as to why they crucified. But other than that, this man, James gun is cooking right now. I really hope Captain America 4 it’s a great movie because even though Deadpool and Wolverine was, that’s more of a FOX type of deal. The next MCU movie needs to be *good*

Because Circe...of for goodness sakes just look up the wiki on her.

[@DanteYewToob]

She’s working with/for gorilla grodd. He can mind control people, including heroes like Superman and Wonder Woman. All it takes is for him to get into one of their heads and then they don’t have to do anything, just sit back and let them kill each other.
