I just assumed he had dropped the others off from his Batplane, or whatever, and was circling around above in case an airstrike was needed.
I felt like there was even a deeper layer there when Economos said “I just thought nobody noticed”. Felt like we was saying that despite the fact that Chris was being a dick about it, he realized that it was sort of a way of Chris saying that he noticed and cared.
Gunn’s Vigilante is an amazing character. I think my favorite scene of the season might be him goading the white supremacists in prison into attacking him: “You guys are so cool! Let’s get to know each other - I know, let’s all go around the table and say what we’re grateful that black Americans have given us. I’ll go…
Wait, you got ten episodes??
Do we know that it’s Goff’s last days? They were milking the cow till the very end, and it seems like she is that last butterfly left. As long as the fluid doesn’t spoil quick, I think Goff could survive for a fair amount of time.
“Coverdale Ranch” can only be in homage to glam metal megastar David Coverdale, lead singer for Whitesnake, right?
Like, I don’t know what to say except this whole thing was nearly perfect. Weirdly, while watching it I kept forgetting this was made by the “Guardians of the Galaxy” guy, and kept remembering this was made by the “Super” guy. Peacemaker might actually be a love child of those two films...
The way this show developed its characters and relationships was so good that by the time Peacemaker tells Leota that she’s his BFF, it really hits you in the feels. I got a little misty at his moment at with Harcourt at the hospital (it reminded me a bit of the end of the bee episode of Futurama) and even with Goff.…
It’s a pretty common plot device, especially in stuff from the 60s/70s onward- aliens/robots/supercomputers decide “mankind must be saved from itself”.
I can't believe they got famous fishfucker Aquaman to make a cameo.
What always surprises me about Gunn is how tightly his themes and narratives are constructed, and how much heart and poignancy is in his storytelling. Early on the show reprises the “Peacemaker, what a joke” moment from the TSS movie, and over the course of the season not only Chris but most of the major characters…
The complete and utter bafflement by Goff after she thought she’d won Peacemaker over with her pitch and he responded with “Activate human torpedo.” was gold.
Given that Peacemaker, in the comics, has hallucinated that the ghosts of those who die near him are haunting him, and also that he’s being haunted by his father... and given that Peacemaker in the show is now being haunted by his father...
“Fuck you, Barry.”
Batman is the ‘difficult’ member of the JLA who only shows up when he deems the crisis big enough to need his help.
“Peacemaker” stuck the landing! What a fan-fucking-tastic season finale. Solved all the relevant threads, left the right ones for exploration in the second season, and delivered the perfect kind of fan service! And as the article rightfully pointed, amid all the humor, chaos, and violence, it brought not only serious…
I love that when Leota charges the barn, it was crotch shots all the way.
Thought this was a very strong finale. The JL cameo was delightful, of course, and it got even better when they went beyond just the silhouettes that I assumed they were using. Looking forward to Season 2, whenever it comes.
I still feel with The Last Jedi, Rian Johnson was asking the fans AND Lucasfilm to wonder what’s next? and to truly not know the answer. I think it made fans uncomfortable (it made ME uncomfortable, but only because it wasn’t clear where we were headed, much like at the conclusion of Empire Strikes Back), especially…
