Poll of the Day > Holy shit, Peacemaker on HBO max is a direct sequel to the last suicide squad!!

(+) Yeah! (+)

I totally didn't realize that from the trailer which already looked funny. Freaking awesome!!

Also Octupussy is by far the best baby name so far.

Yeah the end credit scene established it.

But what universe is it in?!

First three episodes are pretty awesome, can't wait for the rest.

DCEU

I've watched the first three episodes a couple of times now and I'm probably going to watch them at least once more before the next episode, might even squeeze in The Suicide Squad again.

DCTV on HBOMAX is pure gold thus far: Titans, Doom Patrol, Harley Quinn, Aquaman King of Atlantis, Peacemaker; all A+

Haven't seen aquaman I'll look that up, but yeah, I watched ep 3 last night and that shit is just getting better and better. Gonna try and actually watch the rest with a friend even though they are like 40 mins away and I hate driving lol.

One of these things is not like the others

Yeah, Aquaman is juvenile in a PG-13 way, but it's good entertainment, something I could watch with my nephew and still enjoy on it's merits (and laugh at the jokes that would go over his head) I've watched it through a couple of times by myself

Plus Ocean Master! steals nearly every scene he is in, and now I can't say (or type) Ocean Master! without that exclamation point at the end.

Just watched The Suicide Squad again, there is a slight continuity error between the after credits scene and the first episode Peacemaker's left leg is busted up in the after credits scene but it's his right shoulder in the first episode.

No, Aquaman is good lol

I meant Titans

Oh yeah, its, uh, it's "special" in a short bus kind of way.

At least they have an actual Bruce Wayne that they can refer to as Batman (looking at you Gotham) even if he doesn't actually wear the suit or show it onscreen.

I think I am partial to it because they film in Southern Ontario and I love figuring out where they shot each scene, (there was a scene in the first season in a motel that is practically right up the street from me and it was a treat to watch them destroy it on screen before it got demolished irl) but both The Boys and The Umbrella Academy exist and are much better shows that are shot locally.

There was a scene in this season of Titans I instantly recognized as the one that got a crew member killed. A damn shame, but it was also the best season so far, but then that second season really set the bar low. I'll probably still watch the fourth season when it comes out.

Really gald they put Cyborg on Doom Patrol instead of with the Titans.

Is it just me or do they swear gratuitously in that show in lieu of actual comedic writing? Why does everybody swear like a sailor? Some of the characters are stuck on sarcastic prick mode, which makes them unlikable and every scene they're in tedious. I couldn't get into it. I don't understand the humor and I don't like any of the characters.

I mean, how can you not love Eagly?!!!

Seriously though, I really didn't like the father in the first episode and that was making me iffy on the show, and I didn't like peacemaker in the movie, but most of the other chars grow on you and by the third show the humor was obvious and it started to work (I was enjoying it by the second show honestly). Now I get it, at first I was like meh this is a pretty bad superhero show (and I generally don't like superhero shows without any powers), but eventually I realized it's not a superhero show at all, it's a freaking comedy, and it's funny as hell. It's a parody of a superhero show and it's great.

Maybe I'll give the shows a shot.

To be honest I only watched the first episode and part of the second. I'll probably keep watching it, maybe it'll grow on me. John Cena was kind of nailing that role, which is pretty cool.

John killed it in today's episode.

At this point, if the rest of the show was just him smoking weed and dancing to glam rock, I'd still watch it.

lol, yeah it was a pretty good episode. Still loving the constant humor and sarcasm, Judomaster is hysterical (especially if you have ever actually practiced Judo).

Show does the best job of making me interested in superheros without any actual super powers since Daredevil in my opinion.

I think Kody had to know and was making a joke.

Plus that Aquaman series was far better then it had any right to be and it needs to be seen by more people. I love ripping on Aquaman and that joke in the first episode of Peacemaker was aces. I kinda want a throwaway scene with John and Jason, just have Aquaman come up to Peacemaker and start beefing him for telling people that he has intercourse with fish.

I was pleasantly surprised by Aquaman

Unlike the movie

bing c hilling

That was a bloody good episode. Totally metal and fucking brutals yous guys.

This is the best live action DC has probably put out

Kite Man has a cameo appearance this week (Hell Yeah!)
