Peacemaker (HBOM) - January 16, 2022

[Takiwaki]

Yup amazing ep!

[Souj]

Sad we didn’t get more Vij x Vij action

[Tyrath]

I just hope Earth X Vij is ok

[Tyrath]

Weird finale that seems to be setting up a bunch of things. But E7 felt like more of a season finale lol

Spoiler: show

I'm guessing we're getting a Checkmate show before Peacemaker S3

[Qalbert]

yeah, the emotional beats were good, as expected, but plotwise it didn't really work for me, and not knowing some of what they seem to be setting up doesn't help. also

Spoiler: show

I expected a lot more from "it will directly lead in to Man of Tomorrow" I guess (although my lack of familiarity with DC may mean I missed something)

[Tyche]

How you not doing a season 3 after that?

He was probably being hyperbolic but

Spoiler: show

If you go from Superman to Man of Tomorrow without knowing what happened in Peacemaker, you'd be pretty confused about how Lex is all chummy with the government when he was going to jail and all his underlings are working for the government.

that was a really bizarre finale

[Tyche]

It's a bizarre series finale. Would've been a great season finale.

[Souj]

I feel ep 7 was more the season finale (no confirmation one way or the other if it’s actually a series finale, Gunn only stated the narrative might continue on in other forms), and this episode is more of a prologue.

[Tyrath]

I'm maintaining the story will continue in a Checkmate show before we get Peacemaker S3

[Emphasis]

Anyone happen to know if there's really anything here?

Rumors are swirling that James Gunn could be ousted as co-head of DC Studios if Warner Bros. Discovery (Wbd) is sold, with insiders claiming his Dcu vision—kicked off by the underperforming Superman reboot and fading Peacemaker Season 2 viewership—has left the franchise in reboot limbo amid Zaslav’s prep for a potential studio sale.

Since Gunn and Peter Safran took over in 2022, the DC Universe reboot has been a high-wire act, promising interconnected films and shows to rival Marvel. Now, as Wbd CEO David Zaslav eyes a company overhaul, new rumors from Cosmic Book News suggest Gunn’s days may be numbered if a sale to Skydance’s David Ellison or Comcast goes through.

[Tyrath]

Kind of silly to say SUperman underperformed given the current movie climate. It beat F4 didn't it?

[Krandor]

Yeah I'd maybe question the source on that one.

Cosmic Book News (whatever the fuck that is) has such headlines as "DC Comics Wokefest Toast With Paramount Purchase Of WBD"

[Mrbeansman]

To be fair I imagine any studio heads would be fuming if their flagship franchise lost to Demon Slayer.

[Tyrath]

Only if they are idiots and don't take into account the current movie goi...you know what, that tracks
