[@tharukaepaarachchi814]

Jail scene was my favourite

[@FEARNoMore]

@@tharukaepaarachchi814 Lol yeah. Vigilante is badass.

[@FEARNoMore]

He's socially awkward & violent, but his quirkiness & confidence makes me feel ok about it. lol Kicking White Supremist ass is always fun. I think maybe that's Adebayo's "god-given natural talent" For a person that "never" killed anyone before. She sure has good aim & great timing. ;

[@Culled]

him calling out white supremacist. My brother should be texting me upset about how oppressed we are as white men because they made fun of literal racist any moment LOL

[@Soundwave_King1]

This show really made me like vigilante, and Adrian chase as a character more, like I liked him in episode 2 and 3, but this was the one that made me love him more than Peacemaker himself

[@mudiametokunboh2370]

Right he’s goated him and peacemaker my faves

[@BUDDYCB4]

I think I could watch an entire show with just vigilante. Spin-off, anyone?

[@antuanlemon484]

There is a solid chance he might become the villain.

@@BUDDYCB4 yup Freddie stroma has some good acting chops. He may be my favourite character too.

[@Brook11223]

Adrian Chase going up to the other inmates that are friends with Auggie Smith and then provoking them and then beating the crap of them was the best thing so far in 2022. Vigilante should get his own spinoff.

[@thanosboomba4545]

I would love a spinoff with him

[@RandyReviews1990]

I’ve been saying that I would love a vigilante spin off it would probably be more interesting than peacemaker!

[@fellowspacemarine]

Dude for real. I was so scared this was gonna be one of those total played for jokes characters, but then I forgot James Gunn was writing this and he came in clutch. VIGILANTE IS A MASTER ASSASSIN and the show stays true to that while keeping him the funny awkward buddy

YES!!!!

[@EggBoi_8]

I never knew I was going to love vigilante as much as I do. Everyone else I knew I was going to like but man. He has stollen the show for me. Just how hurt he is at the end and how she just looks at him and you see her pain she has all the while peacemaker is thinking of the past while emotionally dancing his pain out. Get this show an award.

[@sergioireta1475]

Totally agree

[@schizzo8959]

ALL the awards.

[@jameslegrand1039]

Vigilante deserves his own standalone series based on Gunn’s work here! A DCU spinoff from a spinoff from a spinoff.

[@ElPresidenteMargz]

Hell the MCU literally gives anybody its own show (Echo?! Really?), DCEU might as well do the same lol

[@juliant]

I'm dizzy from the amount of spinoffs in that sentence lol

[@areathex4086]

I.. I'm So confused but I think I get it now

[@rosaigarcia1804]

I have a feeling that Amanda Waller knew he was a butterfly and used it to her advantage for the operation because that lady is very good with that and her daughter also know more and tried to murder Judo Master because he was about to spill the beans. I think her specialty is to get ppl to trust her especially when they're vulnerable, but great reaction guys as always.

[@mudiametokunboh2370]

I think he’ll turn good Murn but we’ll see :)

[@Danny-km5dr]

You just blew my mind...

[@nazym513]

It makes sense

[@FatThor55]

And Amanda's daughter(idk how to spell her name) is probably faking that she has never killed anyone. How was she able to shoot Judo Master and not hit Peacemaker? Just as he was gonna spill the beans about everything. It makes sense that Amanda put her on the team so no one finds out too much

[@mrrocky7474]

Such a great show so far. Showing how bad his dad was to him and then showing how low he felt really showed Cena’s range. He’s definitely growing as an actor. Had me in the feels.

[@thiagoteixeira6537]

Man am I glad James Gunn got bored during Covid and decided to do this! Can you imagine if we never got this or had to wait much longer to get it?!

[@eagoraps]

One of my favorite and most endearing moment of this episode was when Harcourt was picking up Vigilante from jail and he's so disappointed in himself for possibly making things worse, and for the first time, we see more emotion from her reaction other than anger and frustration.

[@leeholden9261]

I refuse to skip the opening sequence to this show its the best ever and I could seriously watch a vigalante show

[@valiantham6072]

My favorite Vigilante moment is definitely from this episode when he kicks everyone’s ass in the lockup.

[@RastaBot]

Vigilante is such a scene stealer, I love it!

[@OneJumpMan33]

I always thought John Cena was a one tone actor that basically just played himself but holy crap you guys said it but he can act. Like the best moments of his acting aren't even his lines so much but his body language and expressions when he's reacting. Like at the bar when he just gives Harcourt a look before he walks away or when his dad is berating him. He makes me feel things and he is doing great

[@terrybeseick8177]

Shackles off no wwe he surprised me think he a superstar in making and no ego like the rock (who I love) but cena got summit about him relatable naturally funny his timing with comedy u can't teach he got it 😂

That scene you were talking about when they talked about Chris’s dad outside the jail, I also noticed a shot where Adebayo kind of hesitated. I wonder if she did because “parent is awful person but still family” kind of struck a nerve in her because…let’s face it, Amanda Waller isn’t the nicest person… There have been multiple comments about how Amanda is awful from the team and I wonder if that’s gonna come into play somehow.

[@ginacontu4131]

Wow!! was it James Gunn intention to really make the audience fall in love with Vigilante? I mean im still really impressed with John Cena i never like him before but in this show is beyond perfect. I guess i just didn't expect to really get so involved now with Vigilante. Is it just me or does the way he plays with tone to convey his passive aggressiveness or his passion towards peacemaker in way that is pro level. James Gunn probably saw how good he was and knew the audience would appreciate how impeccable his presenting this role the Vigilante role and all the layers that come with it.

[@jonjones18]

U never liked Cena!! Then screw u

[@nicolaskaito4769]

John Cena was amazing. Got me tear up at the end...

[@prathapkutty7407]

Gotta admit, I was really worried about vigilante's safety in that prison scene. After the suicide squad, I don't trust any character in this world to survive for long.

[@Brook11223]

Clemson Murn/Butterfly watching Lethal Weapon 4 says he is trying to learn, understand human behavior.

[@artyom-ovsepyan]

Yes but it would be also cool if he is trying to feel something himself. With that twist Murn really became one the most interesting characters just because of the potential how this show will continue to flesh him out.

[@TheDoctorPink]

this makes sense because the butterfly that was torturing vigilante was talking about how humans have empathy for other humans, almost as if butterfly's don't have empathy

[@josephg.3771]

He was watching Apple Dumpling Gang in my version. Weird

[@GangstaStan010]

@@TheDoctorPink Makes sense. Murn is said to be a remorseless killer and he doesn't mind killing his own kind either.

Anyone else kinda think when Adabeyo (definitely spelled that wrong sry) was saying that we want to think our parents are good, she was also kind of talking to and about herself with Waller?

3:02 ohhhhhh nooooo WHITE DRAGON

[@LunaticReason]

I think the guy tied in the chair who Peacemaker kills for the first time is responsible for his brothers death, possibly giving him drugs or something. Peacemaker's is giving him and eye for an eye lesson by making his son kill his brother's killer. You can see some of that anger but also sadness being made to do the act.

[@DejectedCat]

@@DejectedCat yes

[@averlinbc5680]

It look to me like the brother got hit And it course him to have a seizure not a drug overdose🤷‍♀️

Yeah this episode showed that he has some morality and intelligence.

[@Neithie]

It is insane that I actually feel sympathy for Peacemaker... he's clearly got some severe trauma and PTSD and that incident with the suicide squad really fucking broke him. Imagine thinking, really believing, you're the hero... only to see yourself through the eyes of others and realizing that to everyone else you've been the villain all along.

[@Dom_510]

No I believe that was the intention of the episode

[@johnsummit101]

This scenario is exactly what threw Eobard Thawne to turn into reverse flash.

[@sonuneil.2476]

Peacemaker talking about Batman reminds me of the Punisher telling Daredevil how he (DD) doesn't kill people, so they keep coming back, while the Punisher kills people. Also, Daredevil is kind of similar to Batman, and the Punisher and Peacemaker too, but not that much....

[@SathishKumar-sk8fe]

Oh my god! This series suddenly getting way more darker than previous episodes. Even with Gunn comedic nature, influences of DC Comics dark nature is slowly entering into this series.

I just watched the 4 episodes in a row and then watched all 4 of your reactions and i am absolutely loving it. It's like the whole Johnny Lawrence redemption arc in Cobra Kai going from a bad guy to showing why he was the way he was. Also John Cena is perfect for this role, he has big screen presence like the old Blockbuster Arnold and Stallone action movies and has great comedic timing. Can't wait to see where this goes and what's to follow 😁

[@MiqelDotCom]

He has a former US Senator in the jar, lol!

[@gloriatrujillo722]

i felt like the fight scene between peacemaker and judomaster was purposely filmed and choreographed in a sloppy clunky manner to showcase the fact that both dudes are wounded and not at 100% capacity but despite that still put up a damn good fight. it kind of brought some "realism" to it. i also liked how the flashback scene with chris and his brother rocking out together gives some explanation as to why he has such an obsession with "80's metal". its a connection he still has with his brother, who is quite possibly the only person who ever loved him.

[@danielare4218]

This episode was hilarious, especially the banter between peacemaker and judo master

[@Hellohellonada]

The part of the episode I loved was the butterfly rolling into view to comfort PM with Eagly

[@Brook11223]

How interesting is that when watching the opening sequence of Peacemaker again I noticed the actor Christopher Heyerdahl who played Zor-El in Smallville Season 7 as a prison corrections officer dancing with Lochlyn Munroe's character and Annie Chiang's character. Interesting enough episode 5 promo shows Heyerdahl's character getting hired by Clemson Murn probably to eliminate Auggie Smith so he doesn't spill the beans to Agent Song.

I never cared for John Cena as a WWE wrestler or an actor before his role as Peacemaker in The Suicide Squad and his spin off show, but I'll say it now. John Cena is an amazing actor and deserves an Oscar for this performance. He's fully immersed in the role to the point where I only see Chris Smith. Amazing work

[@jamesscott7215]

I feel like because of the vigilante prison scene, which is a good scene to be fair, the music flashback scene does not get enough love. I mean the amount of emotion Cena put into clutching the portrait of his brother, I would say someone give this man an award but he doesn’t need one he’s already won my heart!
