I don't give a crap about canon, but if S1 isn't canon to the "DCU" and S2 is canon... what does that say about the connection between the seasons? S1 never happened? Terminator dad is still alive? Beard guy is still dyeing his beard? Peacemaker is still killing people? :iiam:

Yeah, this is the main reason I posted the tweet. I don't care if it's not connected to the movies, but if one season isn't and one season is, I have questions.

I'm guessing it's more of a "don't think about it too hard, it's a silly show that won't think about it too hard either" situation. Peacemaker will have a line like, "And now Superman looks all young and different, but we're not supposed to talk about that..." and everyone else will just look at him confused. Like Deadpool talking about the different Professor X's.

I'd want them to make fun of it because it really is incredibly silly. Cena ad-libbing some lines would be good. As long as the character development happened.

The thing I don't like about this idea is that it's a Gunn character poking fun at Gunn things. I know he's probably just a glorified spokesperson, but all this confusion about canons and connections is because Gunn keeps talking about it. I'd have more of a chuckle if Peacemaker is all pissed off at some church guys because some people just can't shut the gently caress up about canon.

For what it's worth, I found the actual quote from Gunn (even though it's kinda chopped up).

https://www.darkhorizons.com/gunn-on-peacemaker-s2-filming-canon/

James Gunn posted:

S2 is full DCU not DCEU� Season one isn�t canon� Many strands will remain consistent, yes, insofar as Peacemaker�s story goes�. Peacemaker Season 2 will take place after the events in Superman. Everything in Waller will take place after Peacemaker.

Also, on Threads (where all this comes from) he confirmed that events in Superman will have an impact on Peacemaker season 2.

Wasn't Lobo rumored to be the 'fall back' role for Momoa after it was clear the DCCU v1 went belly up?

Although at least unlike Gadot if so he didn't go around telling people he would 'for sure' be brought back.

My internal explanation for gun characters in RPGs doing more damage the more you leveled strength was that they were thrusting the gun forward at the moment of firing, increasing the velocity of the bullets :science:
