Blue Raider posted:There’s a quote I read a while ago from somebody who I can’t recall that was something like Ernest Hemingway and Glenn Danzig are complete self-parodies. But occasionally those parodies are met with just the right occasion, and the results are incredible. That reminds of something somebody said about (pre-Trump) Rudy Guiliani. I'll paraphrase because I can't recall or be arsed to look it up online but it was something like: "Rudy treats every problem like it's a life-or-death crisis. On most days that makes him an rear end in a top hat. On 9-11 it made him a hero."

Thundercracker posted:My speculation on how Peacemaker will get out of being the most wanted man in America is that the final mission will go completely tits up and the existence of Butterflies will be fully revealed to the world much to the chagrin of Amanda Waller. He's the most wanted man in the County not in the Country.

My go-to example from fiction is Burt Gummer from Tremors, the insane prepper gun-hoarding rear end in a top hat who turned out to be awesome at killing graboids.

Things that would be amusing to see in the Peacemaker finale that I don't expect to actually happen: -old guy shows up again to bother peacemaker or/and the butterflies. -the veterinarians from last episode show up as last-ditch backup. as to how they find the team, "our mobile pet adoption RV has GPS tracking and auto-tweets out it's location, dumbasses"

Kind of surprised that a nation wide man hunt wouldn’t pull in some b tier cape, especially if they’re pinning assassination of a senator on him. Also what’s the over under on Cena hanging hog in season 2?

I bet more supes will show up season 2. Just like The Mandolorian it almost feels like a trial run of whether this kind of show can even work. Now its proved itself they'll be shoving fan service into it unless Gunn can say no.

I hope we get more Z level villains. Lets have Condiment King and Calendar Man show up. The highest tier person that should show up should be like a 13 year old Robin.

I want to say he was in the Long Holiday? The Long Halloween? They sorta treated him seriously, like he was a date-obsessed Hannibal Lecter. Or wait, was that the Clock Guy? Are they the same person?

GreenMetalSun posted:I want to say he was in the Long Holiday? The Long Halloween? They sorta treated him seriously, like he was a date-obsessed Hannibal Lecter. The Long Halloween has a killer who strikes on particular holidays, so they called him.... Holiday. Obviously people in the DC Universe aren't the most creative. When Holiday is eventually found and arrested, they end up sticking him in the cell across from Calendar Man, and the two just GLARE at each other while angrily reciting different holiday names at each other  I really liked TLH and Dark Victory, but man it very quickly became obvious that Jeph Loeb really likes writing basically the same story structure every time.

The Long Halloween definitely has Calendar Man playing the same role Hannibal Lecter did in Silence of the Lambs.

I am counting that as Chekov's butthole accomplished.  Holy gently caress those cameos.

Loved the episode, series was great, stoked for season 2. What a wonderful, wonderful surprise this show was. Final scene Augie showing up and cackling with delight at his son desperately trying to ignore him while the leader of an alien species is reduced to eating the last of its food from the deck of his lovely trailer, all while Eagly mugs at the camera was perfect. Also, Economos laying out the reason why he dyed his beard was just great, I love that the series gave a chance for these characters who are basically just background actors in the films to flesh out as actual people, and that they absolutely nailed it.

A completely hosed sleep schedule does come with a few perks it seems  And yeah that was about as good a season ender that we could have hoped for.Jerusalem posted:Also, Economos laying out the reason why he dyed his beard was just great, I love that the series gave a chance for these characters who are basically just background actors in the films to flesh out as actual people, and that they absolutely nailed it. Love how what could have been a one-off jokey reference to the actor not wanting to dye his beard for the movie turned into this season-long character arc with a proper payoff and everything. e: CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:I am counting that as Chekov's butthole accomplished. That reminds me, I watched Slither the other night and it features an x-ray view of an alien parasite punching into a person's chest and burrowing up to their brain to take control.
