Best Friends, For Never

Weaker episode than the pilot. Basically the entire plot stayed the same and we hardly learn anything new. The whole apartment escape scene was funny but a little too drawn out. The team is rather dysfunctional in a humorous way and I guess that is the point of the show. We are also introduced to Vigilante who is a fellow killer friend. Really not much to say about this particular episode other than the same stupid fun that we've seen in the first episode.

This episode is everything i love about james guns peacemaker, a strangely pathos driven dark comedy set in a world filled with absurdity that is played completely straight by the excellent cast. Tim meadows is an awesome addition that elevates every ridiculous joke to comedy gold just like he does in everything. Im excited to see where this season goes but so far it feels like we are finally getting a multiverse story done right in a way that avoids the confusion or stakes shattering that marvels foray into the multiverse has been plagued by lately. This show is more than it appears and im loving every bit of it so far.

When I first saw the teaser for Peace maker I was like "Oh God not again" The reason is all we know how DC universe has been pretty much ruined by some trashy movies and series with weak story plots... But later I found out that this series "Peace maker" is actually written and directly by James Gun who we all know who directed Guardians of the galaxy vol 1 and 2 which are very good. I have faith in everything he does ever since I saw those 2 films. So I just gave a watch of the first episode of the series and it was good. I got hooked up and start watching the other episodes. It is violent. It is brutal. It is totally different from what DC has done which makes it even better.

Check it out. It is worth it.

Sorry for such long review.

Even funnier than the first episode, the first 20 minutes is just excellent with great choreography and funny moments. Vigilante is pretty funny also. They do more to make you care about Peacemaker and honestly I think by the end of the show I might actually care about him.

That is some opening. Good job that at least some body parts were covered!

Peacemaker's escape was both painful and well choreographed.

When he holds his fellow apartment owners hostage, it had shades of The Getaway.

The Butterfly Project is still hazy and the group are rather dysfunctional. Now they even distrust each other and have good reason to.

The scenes between Peacemaker and Vigilante did not do much for me. I guess it added to the comedy.

The most interesting part was Auggie Smith after he ends up in prison. Up to then he was just casually racist. Now he is more sinister as The White Dragon with his own followers.

The irreverent tones works well, Cena has the comedy chops and is happy to poke fun about his own body image. I would now want to see the plot to develop more.
