Casey Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 (edited) DC shows don't get as much discussion as the Marvel D+ ones, so I'd imagine so. I'm going to assume they aren't dropping the entire season at once since it's a HBO Max exclusive, but they did exactly that for Search Party last week, so who knows.

JonnyLaw Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 I just started the first episode of The Flash Armageddon, and why didn’t anyone tell me about the drinking game where I drink each time they say “leveled up.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 To paraphrase a certain manager, “I guess this is good for people that like that sort of thing.” watched ep 1. Dont know if I even want to watch the rest yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarheel Moneghetti Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Speaking of Armageddon, was their any storyline reason Despero mostly appeared as a bearded human and only in his alien form occasionally. I assume the answer was "budget" but I wish they had tried to explain it in the episodes. Honestly, Despero's sleeveless robe reminded of the costumes from the live-action Flintstones movies, so it was hard to take him seriously.

RandomAct Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Superman & Lois is still really good. Really surprised that they are already setting up Doomsday this soon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair is it really soon? Might be the second season, but we are dealing with Superman who has been around for probably close to two decades. I'm curious how they handle it with the family element and no fortress to revive him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odessasteps Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I didnt specify in my first post because I didn't know the regular DC shows were on now. Like Suicide Squad, this isn't for me, other than to see the Easter eggs of DC D- list characters and such. It also makes me appreciate the relatively mainstreamness of the MCU in terms of hyper violence and other "adult" content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Legends first episode of the year was fun and an interesting choice focusing on the bad guys' POV. Caught the first episode of Peacemaker as well. Thought it was stupid and fun, about what I was expecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bustronaut Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Peacemaker stumbles a bit in the third episode, but I'm chalking it up to wanting a mini-finale for the opening arc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Cincinnati Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Through two episodes. Gunn's the perfect match for Cena's ideal "2003 DVD where a third of the cover is a giant all-caps UNRATED stamp" brand of goofy humour undercut with some pathos. Seeing how well Gunn's material and direction have meshed with John and Dave makes me really want to see him get his hands on Dwayne. And considering how fatigued I am by standard superhero fare, a bunch of actors doing to silly dance on a soundstage is really the cure for what ails me. Unskippable opening. This show's the most enjoyable superhero TV stuff I've seen in a while outside of The Boys. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second all of that. This show is just that perfect James Gunn mix of stupid, funny, violent, shocking, ridiculous, but also sweet and caring that he does so well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) HBO had a sneak peak of Peacemaker E1 after the debut of The Suicide Squad last night. I thought it was pretty hilarious. I am guessing they put his douchebag racist father (played uncomfortably convincingly by Robert Patrick) in there to make Peacemaker a more sympathetic character by comparison and it doesn't hurt that he is the cross between Archie Bunker and Peter Gambi from Black Lightning. Spoiler It figures that Amanda Waller would have the task force on a short leash with her daughter in there as an informant.

Spoiler I suspect Waller would rather her daughter not being anywhere near that clusterfuck. The situation is just that bad her kids are among the few people she can probably trust.

Craig H Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I didn't intend on watching Peacemaker, but I needed a distraction and watched the first episode and wound up liking it a lot. I was pleasantly surprised. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyLaw Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I think I love everything about Peacemaker, although it probably helps I don't have any attachments to the characters from the comics, otherwise I can tell Vigilante’s portrayal would annoy me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stern judge becomes comedy sidekick is prob not what 1980s Titans fans would have expected. I'm just happy it's not Greg Saunders. The twist at the end was anything but, for me at least.

The show has zero business being this good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
