neutral · AI labelView post →While shooting the Big Belly burger scene with Harcourt and Peacemaker, I got a call from our close close friend Mikaela Hoover saying that she had been cast in the series Beef. Jenn started crying when I told her, so I sent a picture to Mikaela to make fun of Jenn but also show how loved she was.

Most of what I draw isn't very explicit, more about feeling. Some other series I've gotten into are TEKKEN and PEACEMAKER Kurogane. :)
neutral · AI labelView post →Imagine going back in time 20 years and telling the people running Detective Comics Comics that they would make less money with a Superman movie than Marvel did with Carol Danvers and Rocket Raccoon, but at least the Peacemaker show was successful enough for a third season.
neutral · AI labelView post →‘Peacemaker’ S2 finale is now at 6.9 on IMDb The lowest-rated episode in the series
neutral · AI labelView post →Peacemaker is so fun, nasty, warm, twisted and smart. Also the rare show to wrestle with the curse of bird-blindness
positive · AI labelView post →Consider this both a going into 2025 piece And also an announcement for Unbreakable Iron Ranger before we enter the Peacemaker series See y'all in 2025
neutral · AI labelView post →NEW EPISODE! I look at the first two episodes of the Peacemaker streaming series! youtu.be/EFD0SiqOPfU
neutral · AI labelView post →It's pretty cool! Penny Arcade merch is also in the Peacemaker show on HBO and an episode of Big Bang Theory when Wil wore a Fruit Friend shirt.
neutral · AI labelView post →To be fair the people who objected to Peacemaker had legitimate concerns about an extremely entertaining and hilarious show ruining their lives.
positive · AI labelView post →If you're wondering why James Gunn's Peacemaker TV series is causing a complete meltdown amongst the right at the moment I've got a full breakdown here www.youtube.com/watch?v=GT05... (some mild spoilers for season 2 included but there's warnings when they appear)
neutral · AI labelView post →Peacemaker is such a great series. And *every* TV program should have the entire cast doing a deadpan dance to hair metal in the titles. For example, Downtown Abbey would be better *much* more entertaining if it started with Maggie Smith dancing to Monkey Business by Skid Row.
positive · AI labelView post →Hot Take : Two of the most important pieces of media that people need to know about the 20’s Will be The Watchmen Series and Peacemaker And their most important moments both hinge on the fate of Black women in water
neutral · AI labelView post →James Gunn's Peacemaker series got a little too close to home with modern day Trump's MAGA fascism leading to Fortnite removing the character altogether because they don't understand satire. (contains mild spoilers for season 2 but warns you before they happen) youtu.be/GT05Dvor5yA?...
neutral · AI labelView post →Love how the PEACEMAKER show is low-key about how a tough guy getting in touch with his feelings is slowly turning him into a better person.
positive · AI labelView post →Watching again Peacemaker S1 before S2 comes (not fast enough). I enjoy the hell out this show.
positive · AI labelView post →Vigilante #1! - Prob my favourite character from the DC Peacemaker TV show ☺️💚 #Vigilante #DCU #ComicSky #Peacemaker
neutral · AI labelView post →Everyone is so mean to him in the show but I love him. 😭 #Peacemaker
positive · AI labelView post →He was so much more brilliant on the show Peacemaker than I would’ve ever imagined. You could tell that sometimes he was just straight up improvising, and they would show it on the outtakes from time to time. He’s incredible. So much smarter than I judged him initially from just looking at him.
neutral · AI labelView post →"I don't understand why people didn't like this finale!" Because it's the series finale but barely resolves the larger plot. Everything with Argus, Rick Flag, the multiverse. The cliffhanger with Peacemaker. The episode feels like the penultimate, NOT the climax.
neutral · AI labelView post →Peacemaker is like if The Boys was a show that was good
positive · AI labelView post →Just remembered there making a Waller show this year continuing Gunn’s Suicide Squad storylines like Peacemaker & Creature Commandos. I still think it be such a good vehicle to introduce a version of the Secret Six. Hell get @gailsimone.bsky.social involved if Gunn’s bringing in Tom King
neutral · AI labelView post →Thrilled to be in the Peacemaker finale thank you credits, no doubt for Big Belly Burger, created with Byrne and a lot of editor Mike Carlin’s input as well, years ago in a Mr Myxyzptlk issue of Adventures of Superman we co-plotted! Anyhow watch Peacemaker on HBOMax! Fun show, lots of heart.
neutral · AI labelView post →I dislike the modern trend of short TV seasons with years between them that necessitates rewatching the old seasons ahead of the new ones. That said, I'm rewatching Peacemaker for this exact reason, and damn, this show is great.
positive · AI labelView post →Genuinely impressed at how Peacemaker S2 is actually dealing with the violence inherent with the series both on an individual character level with Chris but also in a way that kind of engages with a LOT of Gunn's filmography
positive · AI labelView post →It is so weird that Peacemaker, the show with the uncensored orgy scenes, is directly adjacent to Superman, the movie with the kids action figure tie-in. A character who appears in the PG13 movie is allowed to say the phrase "butt-fucking", but only on the show.
neutral · AI labelView post →Post a TV show that starts with the letter P 📺 Peacemaker 🖤
neutral · AI labelView post →Catching up on Peacemaker and fuck this show is so good. I cannot believe that the character I hated the most in The Suicide Squad is now second only to Superman in my favorite DCU character.
positive · AI labelView post →Thoughts on a hugely frustrating season (series?) finale of Peacemaker:
neutral · AI labelView post →Hitman should be a TV show once Peacemaker starts winding down. (Sorry. Leaving that typo in would have been extra annoying.)
neutral · AI labelView post →people do not watch peacemaker and go, "Wow, I wanna be John Peacemaker, he's so cool" the whole point of the show is that it actually sucks being John Peacemaker
neutral · AI labelView post →No argument there. More about showing a 7 y/o (at the time) the Peacemaker series.
neutral · AI labelView post →After a long absence, Peacemaker is returning to HBO Max next week, with James Gunn and John Cena asking you to take ol' bucket-head a little more seriously. My review:
neutral · AI labelView post →The new Gen V is making me appreciate Peacemaker more cause at least that show feels like it was written by someone who likes things beyond social media.
positive · AI labelView post →Intros that should never be skipped ever: Batman The Animated Series, Peacemaker, The Muppet Show, Tales From The Crypt.
neutral · AI labelView post →Wonder Man was really good for a show about a character I knew nothing about prior to watching it. I feel like this is where DC struggles with the exception of Peacemaker which was really good.
positive · AI labelView post →Very cool to see The White Rabbit make her DCU debut in @jamesgunn.bsky.social Peacemaker S2. I had lots of fun writing her in our Two Face series Trial Separation. ( Trade collection out September 20th )
neutral · AI labelView post →Side note, if you enjoy the TV show Peacemaker at all, you will probably like this book a lot. Obviously it does not have Peacemaker in it, but is extremely similar in tone, characterization, themes and plot (not due to plagiarism, but just similar influences).
neutral · AI labelView post →Matter-Eater Lad is canon in the Peacemaker series that James Gunn did! He doesn't show up but he's directly referenced by name.
neutral · AI labelView post →Pretty wild to see a character you co-created play a huge role in two seasons of a genuinely really good TV show. Looking forward to Peacemaker s2.
neutral · AI labelView post →“Peacemaker. Bleh. How can they possibly develop that character?” So very happy to be so egregiously wrong. I love that show and hope it continues in any form at all. I will take what I can get.
positive · AI labelView post →'Peacemaker' is back! Alan Sepinwall reviews Season 2 of James Gunn's series about the quasi-hero and his band of fellow doofuses. And yes, there is a pocket universe.
neutral · AI labelView post →Picked up this new DC Finest volume, featuring Peacemaker. My mine interest was in the 1960s Charlton series by Pat Boyette and Joe Gill, but the 80s/90s stuff from the character’s revival by DC looks fun, too.
neutral · AI labelView post →And just like that, my interest in watching the Peacemaker show just skyrocketed. Princess Peach Showtime mentioned 😌
neutral · AI labelView post →It's The Muppet Show with our very special guest star Peacemaker!
neutral · AI labelView post →It's official, I'm bringing back DC-cember. Starting Wednesday, December 3rd I will begin chronicling James Gunn's new DCU with a series of reviews. This 1st installment I will cover Creature Commandos, Peacemaker S2, & of course Superman (2025).
neutral · AI labelView post →This morning's Fridge Logic while half asleep: In Peacemaker S2, Nazi Peacemaker probably wouldn't use a Desert Eagle because those are Israeli guns. Maybe an Automag since Desert Eagles likely wouldn't exist in that Universe. I haven't seen or even thought about this show since it released.
neutral · AI labelView post →Why are some people losing their minds over the Peacemaker finale? In either direction? I was a little disappointed in it (WAY too much that was only there to set up non-Peacemaker stuff in future DCU projects), but when it worked, it WORKED. And the series overall was great.
neutral · AI labelView post →On ep 4 of Peacemaker and it’s very weird seeing a character you created get a life of their own onscreen. On a really good show.
positive · AI labelView post →Finally read Peacemaker tries hard and loved it. Feels like something between the show and classic lobo comics. Art and colour gorgeous throughout. Found myself reading the lines in Cena's voice lol.
