I need even more footage of John Cena randomly listing dozens of people. Now I wonder if that whole tirade and the reaction shots were completely scripted or if they improvised some of that. Either way Incredible well done acting there. Cena has great comedic timing. I also loved the end scene where John loudly objects to a dead guy, after Chris just listed like a dozen fictional characters. Sure that guy is less believable than Ernie or Bert. Ariana Grande does look to innocent, though. By the way, it's sort of weird to have a character with the same first name as the main actor. Also, with that new police chief, everyone from the intro is now in the show. Another great moment was when in contrast to Peacemaker, Detective Song was unable to come up with more than three white guys. She seems great, and good at her job, but just not as good at these verbal battles. cant cook creole bream fucked around with this message at 14:32 on Jan 27, 2022 |

Snowglobe of Doom posted:The character has had that name for 35 year already. Yeah, I figured. He was also around in the movie, before Cena became the capital Main Character. On the other hand, Cena had that name longer than that.  Well, I just have to use Felix Cena now, that sure rolls off the tongue. If I ever write a story, I'll just have three central characters randomly share their first name. No deeper meaning or reason for learning to know each other. Just the occasional clarification, which one is meant. That's so rare in fiction, that it will be groundbreaking! cant cook creole bream fucked around with this message at 15:04 on Jan 27, 2022 |

When she first met him, she didn't fall head over heels for Chris. Classic Butterfly behavior. None of them did that so far. Well, except the first one depending on how you interpret it. She was the exception.

I wonder if they actually pay Vigilante. Peacemaker is there because they have the power to bring him back to prison and or explode his head. But Vigilante is just there to be a hero / do Peacemaker a solid / because he has a blast doing these things?

I'm interested how those two factions who both want to kill Peacemaker will interact. Especially considering how there are some who are in the intersection, but I'd imagine those changed their minds on that subject. I also wonder if former Goth has actual grievance with him and if that peace sign was just a ploy to get out, or if they could have become sort of friendly. Sophie Song's actress is really good and I am glad that she gets more involved now. Was that actually Cena in the piano? That was a nice scene and he had impressively sad facial expressions, but I kept wondering.they haven't shown a lot shots of his fingers there. Also, "I know my own birthday!" cant cook creole bream fucked around with this message at 14:15 on Feb 3, 2022 |

Asuron posted:It seems like that's not gonna be the case though, which is really disappointing but Annie Chang is killing it and I hope we see her in more stuff because of this show. I guess it's a good thing for Annie Chang's career. Playing the mayor villain is probably great on her resume. When she died like that I felt really bad for her, especially since that was the first time we saw the butterlyening. But mostly it was surprising to have those cops suddenly be central in the A-Plot. Up until then they were basically just on cleanup duty. Basically the relatable civilian perspective on this superhero black ops nonsense. That routine worked quite well, so I didn't expect Gunn to blow it up like that.

Tiberius Christ posted:The sheriff was butterflied with the rest of police station at the end but he was one of Murn's contacts so the guy was some deep state op that probably worked under Amanda Waller. Considering the way they treat people under them in the suicide squad movies its no wonder the guy is a loving psychopath. Amanda Waller is not a nice person. The plan here was to sweep up all the butterfly people and afterwards use the diary to blame it all on a delusional and deranged Christopher Smith, who did it all on his own volition. cant cook creole bream fucked around with this message at 14:47 on Feb 6, 2022 |

While that idea is funny, presumably they did watch the international news and saw that thing. By the way, did Starro name itself, or did that come from the creepy scientist? For that matter, is "Butterflies" a slur? I guess Murn would know the actual name of the species, but it's not like he could explain that to Waller. cant cook creole bream fucked around with this message at 13:54 on Feb 7, 2022 |

Toplowtech posted:My favorite part of "The Suicide Squad" is the quite obvious nazi nature of the all the US-backed experimentations in *check note for totaly normal central american prison name* Jötunheim. We should be happy they didn't call it Adolf. I rewatched that movie last week. The bunker itself was built by the Nazis before they were pushed out a few decades ago. Then the Americans came and used it for their ethically challenged ideas. I guess they used a lot of the stuff which was conveniently already set up.

The show is really enforcing the idea that Vigilante is not well. He might be a good guy at heart, but he needs a serious intervention and probably a bunch of therapy sessions. I really can't see him accepting the idea that Peacemaker doesn't want to kill people anymore. (Shooting Nazi Iron-man dad is an exception to that and he should have done so eariler.) By the way, did Vigilante even kill any of those Nazi goons? I'm pretty sure Economos got most of them, while Eagly pecked of the rest.

Marsupial Ape posted:If Auggie had only a single item of super science, like a zap sceptre or glun gun, I would just hand wave it for comic book rules. A villain needs a gimmick and there's a tradition in comics of C-List villains of having ingenuity to invent a single tool/weapon to support that gimmick. Captain Boomerang type poo poo. I think he was always a proficient scientist and did his kid fighting ring as a way to give back to the community and to strengthen his boys. The setup looked a bit dingy, but I don't think he did that as a means of income.

Warbird posted:I feel you there as you don’t want to go about glorifying the shitbags but that was more or less the case for the source material. Occultism being another common trope with them for the same (albeit far smaller scaled irl) reason. In those stories, occultism is usually a matter of the lack of scruples, where the Nazi scientists figure out how to summon demons by brute-forcing the rituals, sacrificing thousands in the process, while the heroic Americans would never steep so low. Same goes to weird medical procedures which would discard uncountably many test subjects. That sort of logic doesn't really work for inventing racists Iron Man armor, or pocket dimensions, unless those are fueled by puppy-tears or something like that. cant cook creole bream fucked around with this message at 21:35 on Feb 12, 2022 |

Most of the cast was really good. But more than anything, I hope Annie Chang gets some mayor roles after this. Both of her characters where amazing. It's kind of sad that she wont return in season 2. Unless Gunn would consider something stupid like a twin sister.

Hobo Clown posted:Do we know if the cow squeezings have an expiration date? If Goff is the only butterfly left they could presumably last a while on the existing barrels as Peacemaker's second favorite non-verbal animal sidekick. Presumably, it's quite limited. Otherwise they would have stockpiled way more of that stuff. The end of the episode makes it pretty clear that he's just handing her the last few drops he owns as a final meal. She (and probably the world) is doomed and she just accepted it at this point, but doesn't really blame Chris for doing what he thinks is right. It's honestly a bit sad. It sounded like this population would starve out after a century anyway, but they wanted to have some significant positive effect before they'd be gone.

Grendels Dad posted:Is... is that how that works? Theoretically, that would be sound logic, assuming ftlt is impossible and the original transportation was magic instantaneous teleportation without movement. Of course, flying 10.000 years at near lightspeed would be a bit weird under relative physics. Assuming a traveling speed of 99.99% c A day of travel for him would be like 200 years for the rest of the world, so he only ages by 50 days. Honestly, that seems plausible. Spending two months to get back somewhere really far away is reasonable.
