The Bautista erasure above is disgusting! He’s the #1 wrestler turned actor since he’s not just one note like a the Rock. Not to take away from Cena but he’s nowhere near the range of Bautista.

Bautista is fantastic and a much better actor than Dwayne. And so is Cena apparently.

I'm gonna go further on this prediction: Murn, who we now know is/was a butterfly, was the one who angrily insisted that they don't go up butts during the orifice powerpoint slide scene, will be the one to crawl up white dragon's butt after dragon impulsively hate-crimes Murn since he can't go in the mouth because of anti-scabies tech. that butterfly will use the nazi power armor to fight the cops/nazi horde. Final scene will be peacemaker and butterfly father trying to be father/son

bonus bit - dying/maimed de-butterflied Murn does some Darth-Vader-dying-on-Death-Star-esque "you we're right about me/I can change/there is good in me" moment, a callback to what butterfly said about Murn, with some character noting the similarity


Very plausible. There are some weak points in that armor after all.

Is there any reason to oppose the butterflies? Only reason I can see is if you're already some kind of radical pro-human activist or something. Don't know much about the butterflies yet besides they have as much right to be here as us and that on the surface they seem much less environmentally evil than humanity. One cow thing to feed them all, doesn't seem to drain the Earth in the process like when we feed off of it. Murn seems like the badguy, wanting to do a genocide essentially. Just hard to find reasons to be against the butterflies if you're not a human exceptionalist.

I don't know how you could watch the scene of them taking over the police station and not come to the conclusion that the butterflies seem to be pretty evil. At least this faction.

Really the butterflies don't have to take over anyone at all. They can breathe the air, they can live and fly in 1 G, their high tech society is still functioning (spaceships, they have their own networks apparently connected to our internet, whatever this "cow" is). No one even knew they were there until they started taking over people.

Even if you seriously believe they needed the local cops for some reason, the captain would've been enough. Also, what about the people in the jail? Are they all "guilty" too?

I’m also really happy that despite all the jokes, Economos and Adebayo truly got chances to step up in dangerous situations throughout the show. The “cowardly inexperienced fat back room” character stereotype is still hardcore when the chips are down, even if they’re down to a crawl.

My question is, how the gently caress is he still alive? They never really explained that, and I was expecting them to. I guess he's just another super of some kind, but I thought it was going to at least come up.

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.
I guess she could keep on living on some of what was left, but there are other butterflies other than the ones that were present on that field (all over the world probably). It'll probably take weeks, but they're all going to starve. Unless they somehow find or create a new food source. Or go back home I guess.

Yeah, I mean they stay pretty much true to the movie in that his aim is perfect, and he's an expert in all weapons.

It does make me wonder though, with the whole "smaller bullet" thing in Suicide Squad, did that scene imply they BOTH had superpowered aiming skills to hit each others bullets, or was only Bloodsport aiming to do that so it's actually just him that has Deadshot-level impossible skill and Peacemaker is just really good?

It's possible they just mirrored each other, aiming at the same place, because the movie (Waller) presented them as basically the same character. But since Bloodsport came on top at the end I think it's safe to say that the movie established him as the (slightly?) better marksman.

I think Murn was determined to start experiencing human life/culture after he decided to basically commit suicide by starvation. That's what all of the talk about emotions and him watching cartoons was about. The rest of the butterflies we get to see looked down on humanity. Well, except maybe the one in the first episode. Or in other words...

Tunicate posted:

Perhaps the butterflies would have been successful if - instead of attempting an autocratic takeover and acting as literal parasites upon the working class- they had joined forces with humanity as equals to usher in a dictatorship of the proletariat.

Sadly their bourgeois nature - exemplified by their disdain for measures which would improve the lives of the general populace (populism) was their downfall, and caused the deaths of hundreds of innocents and also some cops.

Everyone posted:

I think it's more that Murn was seeking validation of his decision. I mean, it's not just suicide. Murn is going to exterminate his entire species through a slow, ugly death by starvation. So he's watching human TV programs with the idea that "These people, this culture really is worth me doing this horrific thing to myself and everyone I ever knew from my homeworld, right?"

That was probably part of it. Yeah, obviously it's not just his death that he's been contemplating, but also his entire species'. But seems to me he also saw the expressing of emotions as a good thing, since he was making a point of practicing it.

pile of brown posted:

The one thing I would have liked to see addressed (and god help me if it was and I missed it) but what was the butterfly life cycle on their planet? They've apparently evolved as intelligent parasites, but also have spacecraft for their nonhosted selves. Were their original hosts intelligent or not? It would be completely insane if they discovered their ability to burrow into a beings brain and access their memories and body and replace the functional brain by happenstance upon reaching earth

Everyone posted:

Well they apparently flew to Earth in tiny butterfly-sized space ships. So whatever hosts they had on their home world probably couldn't survive on Earth.

Who knows, but that cow is probably genetically related to them, since that's the only thing they can eat apparently.

It's possible that in their planet it's not at all taboo to take a meat suit for a ride (sentient or not). So if they ever really had a need for hosts, it was probably long before their industrial revolution equivalent.

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.
