Season One Peacemaker Not Canon in DCU! | Absolutely Marvel & DC

[@BusterBarnes]

James Gunn liked a comment saying "If the Justice League scene never happened then Season one would be conon". So i think its all what we assumed but Gunn is just saying it in a confusing way. Basicslly i think this 'new' Peacemaker will have gone through all the same things as the DCEU version did bar the JL scene

[@tjjordan4207]

I mean, all they have to do is edit out the Justice League and any references to them in Season 1 and also include The Suicide Squad by declaring it a reboot of the 2016 film, and just doing any needed edits with that film as well to separate it from the DCEU. But to be serious, they shouldn't cherry picking anything, just do a full-on reboot. They did it with Spider-Man and Batman plenty of times.

[@MrMario-tc8sl]

What if they give peacemaker the psycho pirate storyline where he remembers the old universe but because he's a conspiracy theorist everyone just thinks he's crazy.

[@karimdavis7065]

Like Kilowag and Power Girl as well

[@trickadaddydexter64]

i don’t think it’s that deep or confusing. Peacemaker Season 1 is not canon, but we can start Peacemaker Season 2 with a general understanding of who the characters are and Peacemaker’s origins. similar to how Blue Beetle will be included in DCU. i doubt we get a full repeat pilot of Peacemaker joining forces with Waller to start Season 2, instead some brief general mention of some events from early Season 1 and we move forward from there

[@DurrellRandle]

The two ways I think it's going to go is either A. Waller and Peacemaker pull a Rick and Morty jump to a new universe and replace their counterparts (which would be hilarious) Or B. Something resets The universe and potentially only Peacemaker and Waller remember and part of the DCU mystery is what reset the universe

[@chino19963]

Imagine peacemaker being the only one that remembers the old universe kind of like psycho pirate 😂

[@thomasjohnson1885]

It’s not that complicated or serious. Peacemaker season 1 happened, just things that connect to the DCEU (Justice League cameo and certain deaths from TSS) didn’t occur that way.

[@Nunchuck210]

Lame

[@LeonardoSilva-nh2gg]

But... was Peacemaker Canon in the DCEU? because there are a lot of references that don't make sense lol like they saying Batman doesn't kill or Batmite

[@danilo9498]

But it doesn’t make sense since the Justice league actually appear in peacemaker too

[@BlueCheeseLucci]

Just cause we didn't see batmite doesn't mean he wasn't in that universe and the Batman thing is probably a joke on how fans always argue if Batman should kill or not

[@flashtheshapeshafter]

Glad I'm not the only person that thinks calling Steve to replace the master chief actor would have been a great idea😂

[@Bananahammock681]

At this point I don't care what is canon and what isn't any more. Good stuff is good, I'm only bothered by quality and Peacemaker season 1 was top tier quality entertainment. That is all that matters. So much so I am still stoked to hear news of season 2 progressing.

[@danielwhite455]

Top tier quality? Pls I'm a 37 year old male that enjoys dc comics shows and movies that show made me think it was written by teenagers 😂 the type of childish humour in that show

[@sajithm4699]

i just want to bring to your attention about the peace maker in the new mortal kombat and my theory, that our peace maker from season one is that. As he references the events of suicide squad and peace maker season one and probably season 2 peacemaker is an Alternate universe In it he literally talks like he is fine with staying there forever. so it could be like james is trying to give our peacemaker an ending of sorts

[@ltownvidz]

It feels like Warner bros fucked Gunn with how confusing it is to determine where dceu stops and his dcu starts. They should have scrapped flash and aquaman 2 so he has a clean slate, as well as not let him use dceu people in PM season 1 cause this is a dumb decision in my opinion

[@MSGSDestiny]

Benny, Sal will we ever get a review for Crisis on Infinite Crisis Part 1? PS: Keep up the good work gentlemen

[@NightRunner2099]

I doubt it. They have not been the biggest fans of Tomorrowverse. And half of it probably will be how it's not comic accurate. Although, they might review part 3 because of the animated series Batman appearances there.

[@danilo9498]

I wish but they hate the universe

[@Isen616]

Might be waiting to do all three parts at once

[@AbsolutelyMarvelDC]

Link?

[@MSGSDestiny]

​@AbsolutelyMarvelDC I bought it on DVD, but I think it's on HBOMax.

[@ItsOver9000Productions]

Ahhh yes, stupid ass continuity decisions when rebooting DC. Looks like we'll be getting some really comic accuracy for the movies then lmao. I don't understand why it's so difficult to start clean entirely. With that being said, I LOVED season 1.

[@markstriker925]

Sounds confusing. Why even have s2 in the first place? If s1 is not canon.

[@ItsOver9000Productions]

@@markstriker925 it's s2 in that it's a show staring peacemaker again. But it just probably won't reference season 1, or it will allude to certain things from season 1 that happened but not exactly the same. Tbh, if they didn't show the justice League at the end of reference Suicide Squad season 1 could still be entirely canon

[@iyerravikumar0]

I thought the same the very moment Gunn announced the reboot. Makes sense

[@georgesbadra9227]

They can use the crisis animated movies on the reboot of the universe, they could also make peacemaker the only one who knows about the reboot

[@colbycastle9974]

You guys should make the what’s avengers 5 gonna be video

[@austiningram610]

Avengers 5 should just be the first Young Avengers run. All the players are there

[@BlueCheeseLucci]

I actually thought it would be weird to keeep season 1 cannon.

[@flashtheshapeshafter]

As someone who defended the Blue beetle statement, James I love you man I'm super excited for Superman legacy , stop talking Edit: for Blue beetle I just figured they just bring him over and that's it some people are making it more complicated, this kind of just feels complicated yeah they could just make a new show and not reference anything but this phrases and everything just feels weird

[@yosh3490]

Need a sales rep for This Hot Sauce Is, in Portland OR?? Holla at meeeeeeh

[@michaelbarletta1024]

6:32 the good place reset the whole cast multiple times lol

[@edwardosquidawardo]

I think Peacemaker will be the DCU’s Psycho Pirate. I think he will be the only one to remember that continuity has changed, but since he’s already a conspiracy theorist, people will just ignore him.

[@ethankillion786]

True to comic book continuity. The universe gets rebooted, fans ask if events of X story are still canon, the powers that be say "idk, kinda".

[@ii-mp1sp]

I got so sick of this constant reboot crap in DC comics a long time ago that I basically gave up on them. Now it's in the movies🤮😡.

[@Lowkidoe29]

honestly the MCU should start taking notes from Agents of SHIELD. i get people still don't care for that show but the writing in most season is like objectively better then all the D+ shows lmao. i'm bias because it's my fav comic book tv show but it's a reason why it's the longest Marvel show and that show still has a strong fanbase 4 years after it ended.

[@phillipgardner5478]

Doom Patrol has the best Cyborg in all of media in my opinion.

[@robertrogers074]

At least we have a dceu version and now a dcu version.

[@samuelanderson1862]

Some form of the Kree/Skrull war The skrulls betrayed new asgard forcing thor to return The skrull's launch a coordinated attack on all known public superheroes Still remnants of the kree ran by genis-vell that want to annhilate the skrulls and he has the nega-bands Avengers who assemble: patriot (everyone thinks he is steve or sam in a new suit but its a masked eli), captain marvel, Stature, white vision, Wonder man, and Moon Knight (blk and white suit) or black knight, along with Shang-chi completely unorthodox team but its this huge war movie that sees the earth caught in the middle and these heroes happening to come together

[@antoniobaker7033]

And it’s them realizing that WB are at 8 dollars a share on the stock market

[@CTR_ALT_MAKIMA]

We know this might as well be "The old JL that showed up in season 1 isn't canon"

[@jbird1812003]

It's not confusing. Gunn's friends and family stay in and everyone is out.

[@Iffmeister]

Black Lion's channel had a theory that basically season 2 could involve a jump of DCEU peacemaker to the DCU because of the Flash events and he has to confront the DCU version of himself but becomes the main one. Could work

[@dlvnmedia]

Waiting for payday to order some hot sauce - I like Sal and I like Bennie and want to keep seeing you both for a long time to come

[@griff2181]

As someone who watched peacemaker season 1 it makes sense it aint canon since the old justice league was in it and it happended after a crisis and both flashes rebooted their universes. Im fine if they make it so peacemaker is just investigating the universe hes in because it aint his and realises he has to bring peace to this new universe and uncovers a plot

[@NFTwizardz]

Listen we have to have faith at this point lol as our lord and savior of DC COMICS movies James Gunn! He is good at what he does, fingers crossed and excited!

[@kosta1613]

is the hot sauce gluten and egg free?

[@chowderman8888]

I think it would be harder to keep season 1 cannon like how are they going to explain the whole jl scene, the butterfly invasion the whole ousting of Amanda waller etc. Just start fresh in this new one setup by superman movie and basically have peacemaker as our ride along character for to explore the new dcu. Doesn't take much explaining I'm sure any and all explaining to mainstream audiences would be In The superman movie

[@userious258]

Nope Marvel has showed what incursions are and have touched on it but again they just touched on it. In the Infinity Saga every other if not every project reminded you of the looming threat. Now they’ll have 1 project mentioning it then have 5 projects (exaggeration) without even mentioning multiverse, Kang, or Incursions so it just loses its treat level

[@fcm3d]

When I mean why should I invest my time into anything that's not going to matter. Cannon and lore matter to a fan.

[@antoniobaker7033]

This is why I’m starting to hate comic book movies because we bitched about everything

[@baggin.]

lol yeah that’s true 😅

[@Nihaas]

this is confusing, I hope they can pull off giving the explanation of what's canon and what isn't seamlessly. First time I'm having concerns around Gunn's DC universe

[@dbzlinkinpark99]

I think he choose to useThreads because it actually less people and only people who want to be are there example Benny not wanting to be there so he won’t even download the app is hilarious it’s an automatic gatekeeper without being a real gatekeeper to entry

[@chermill93]

I'm always hesitant to take "non-canon" at face value in situations like this. Is it actually "not canon" or is it just a headline to get buzz? I could see this being more of a pivot than out right "not canon."

[@nuhashahmed6274]

I love toitles

[@emperorhakimiv7745]

My excitement for the new DCU has continuously gone down since the initial announcement. Nothing has been cleared up and it just feels like we're doing the same thing as the original DCEU. I'd rather have the original Zack Snyder JL back and i hated most of the DCEU stuff.

[@kadegetslaid634]

Why would you rathwr have snyder back lmao? Its been year's since his last movie and the entire continuity is a mess, plus all the actors have aged out of it

[@Bananahammock681]

Oh and as far as DC's live action shows go, Swamp Think was king. It was gorgeous, interesting and gripping start to premature finish. Doom Patrol I loved unashamedly, but Swampy was just factually 'better'

[@dbzlinkinpark99]

What about the animated Dc fans, the animated universe are messed up always rebooting it ever 5-6 years

[@AshrafAnam]

Jimmy boy's a mofo hack. He absolutely doesn't understand or care about DC. All he cares about his own works. His "universe," which he stupidly named after the main comic book universe for no reason just like how he stupidly retitled his movie the same as the '78 movie, is basically a Gunn show, that's it. As a DC head, he should've canceled PM season 2 but he didn't. He lies all the time. Not only does he retitle the movie, he also has Eve Teschmacher and Otis, who are original Donnerverse characters and not based on any existing comic book characters. Is he just remaking Superman '78?

[@owenharrison761]

I like to hear your opinions guys, especially because of your knowledge of comics, but you underestimate too much what it means to make a movie, when that is not easy or simple.

[@user-io9hj9ip2d]

i think people are way overthinking it, it's a Suicide Squad (2016) and The Suicide Squad (2021) situation where we kind of ignore the first movie like it didn't really happen but it's still meant to technically be a direct continuation also pretty sure all the character development and the main events are canon aside for the Justice League scene and things that directly connect to or mention the DCEU it's also why Blue Beetle managed to survive the reset, despite his movie being in the DCEU

[@Tores444]

Nah Paramount's Halo still is building on the dumb shit they made in season 1. Not that this season is any better for them trying to disregard that season anyways. The Halo show is dogshit

[@JeannieLove]

I bet I can still taste the alcohol. I also challenge how mild it is.

[@baggin.]

Don’t even watch halo s2 lol

[@alistarline]

@comicpop first minute **Fine gesturing
