jabby posted:And Peacemaker's line at the end about why he rejected their vision ("Because they would have hurt you guys") is him expressly going back on his oath to sacrifice whoever he had to for peace. The only reason he thought that way before was because the only person he cared for was already dead. I loved that was the redemption point for his character. Just learning to love his skwad. It's so simple, but absolitely fits for what is essentially a simple, absolutely hosed up man. Inwardly groaning at a dozen comic book film writer teams mangling that into Peacemaker making a speech about human freedom and poo poo in the climax

Caros posted:Aquaman can talk to fish. Dude totally gets consent. Yeah he could talk to them, that's why what he does is all the more evil. Just Chamber posted:You walking outside smiling mouth open while uttering "we deserve this" as a butterfly flies towards you. Dude I'm over 30, I already lived more than Jesus anytime I go now won't be a shocking tragedy, I'm a walking mummy, not really a big difference if a butterfly or lung cancer gets me at this point. In any case, if aliens come to earth you can find ways to help them besides being a body host. Besides, helping out an alien is basically the same as helping out a "fellow" human. You don't share as much or any DNA, but you're actually composed of the same constituent atoms and particles, so much so that any distinguishing between any discrete objects or entities is basically illusory, an abstraction for convenience of biobound perceivers. Just saying you can choose to be on the same side as matter, let go of your petty attachment only to one very specific kind of matter arrangement, therefore, the cow good.

Khanstants gimmick is excellent. Butterflies killing humans = bad, but letting humans go ahead and kill the entire earth and every species on it = WORSE. And it's not like they need to kill ALL the humans, just enough to stay in control of humanity and keep the peace. They can even live without a host anyway. And they didn't kill Judomaster because he was a comrade. Wait, am I an ecofascist now?

Surely there's Gorilla super science, Atlantean tech, or something in the Fortress of Solitude that can replicate it. On the other hand, it's not really that kind of show? I think the butterflies story is over, and everything that needed to be said got said. They should use that to reverse global warming lol

I wonder if next season they'll contrive a way to get him new helmets. I loved the big reveal of what they each were. I almost expected Steve Agee to end up using the levitation helmet and hurt himself falling at some point, possibly when he crawled over with the torpedo helmet. Not actually sure what happened to levitation helmet now that I think about it, found it while he was dealing with his Dark Passenger but never got used? Speaking of levitating, is it me or is kind of rude to float next to people standing? I know we have no established etiquette for people who can fly, but I feel like people hate being "hovered" over generally and Superman at the end was basically floating for no reason besides to show off. Maybe it's okay when you're in costume and on the job with other coworkers, but probably still awkward if you're in your civies chilling in a normal setting.

For some reason Harcourt asking "Aimlessly?" all concerned after Chris reveals that it's a levitation helmet that makes you float was really loving funny to me.

I would guess the antigravity helmet has a limited charge like the sonic boom one and will eventually come hurtling back to earth.

I'm fully with Khanstant. This ending was so frustrating. I would gladly sell out humanity if it meant we could have someone who could save the planet. “Maybe you just gave us a chance to make our own choices instead of our bug overlords”. gently caress that. We never had a choice. It's the same bullshit that says that the reason the planet is dying is because individual people don't recycle. gently caress.

This would of been a better sell if we had seen any evidence of them actually accomplishing something other then, "we hosed up our planet but won't do the same to yours despite doing nothing but seemingly murder a bunch of people."

I don't know about you but I'm somewhat unwilling to take the word of an alien bug that would burrow into some kid's brain, killing said kid and then pilot the body around like a tiny man in Voltron without a second thought's word on what it has to say about the greater good.

There's also zero guarantee that the butterflies would do any better. They already screwed it up once. Who's to say they won't do it again? And what gives them the right to do so? Beside the ethical point and more to world building, I mean, in the DC universe, there's all sorts of super science that could save the world. Plus, if we're talking about narrative reasons the butterflies were doomed, the Justice League arrived right after their defeat. If Peacemaker's team would have failed, I imagine they'd have finished it up for them after putting the pieces together.

Yea I kinda dont trust the invading aliens that say they are here for our interests yet are fine with borrowing into the skulls of human children to do this. I dont know what the future holds for humanity in regards to whether we'll somehow solve the clusterfuck we've created but I'm certainty not cool with murder to achieve that goal especially by an invading force where ultimately we don't know what their true intentions are. If you are then you're right alongside preshow Peacemaker and his creed of killing every man woman and child until world peace is achieved which is exactly why Peacekeeper kills them, he's grown as a character and knows that the person he was who believed such extremes was a damaged individual shaped by his father, In the same way the butterflies are damaged by the lost of their planet.

If they were really serious about climate change, literally go take over the entire House of Representatives and Senate and get that poo poo sorted in a weekend with a bunch of laws. Then move onto the next country. Or take over some children. Either one.

If you crash your car, you don’t get to just take mine because “Now I know better, trust me, bro!” They admit that they hosed up their own planet but are just like ‘trust us guys, we’ll do it right this time, we swear!’ They are also perfectly willing to kill scores of innocent people to get what they want so, probably not the best to rely on them to do things

And even if they did work it out, what then? I doubt any group that has collectively decided that hollowing out the heads of random people and piloting them like meat robots is an acceptable moral compromise is suddenly going to go "okay planet's saved let's live in harmony". More than likely the butterflies become the new ruling class and humanity gets babied for the rest of its existence, while any dissenters get sent to a literal farm upstate. Have to maintain that peace!
