Here is the first peek at the "Peacemaker" series with John Cena continuing in his role from "The Suicide Squad." All of 12 seconds and half of that are HBO Max bumpers lol.

Like I said in the thread for TSS I'm looking forward to seeing this and how it follows the movie's events. I really enjoyed the character even though I hated his final scenes (which I suppose was the idea). I'm not a wrestling fan but Cena has always seemed cool as hell to me and is by all accounts a really good dude in real life, and the character is hysterical at points when he's supposed to be in the movie, so this should be fun.
Oh it embedded on its own, score! lol

Seems like something SN would be into.

I heard this POS show has the titular character making gross remarks about some of DC's beloved heroes, i.e. joking about Wonder Woman eye effing him in front of schoolkids, Superman has a fecal matter fetish, and Aquaman pays for sex with fish.
Yeah, you read that right.
This is apparently the direction those degenerates at Toxic WB want to go for. A cheap Deadpool knockoff. Deadpool sucks ass, and so does this.
James Gunn is an unfunny creep.
Four episodes in (three on premiere date last week and the fourth today) I'm really enjoying it. It's a bit of a mess, yes. Chaotic and crude but it's also got humor and heart. Really eager to see where it's going to go after today's revelations.
Episode five down, it just keeps getting and better. Far better than what I expected leading into the show or even through the first episode.
Dammit somebody else needs to watch so I have someone to discuss it with. lol. It's the number one rated show according to IMDb and all I'll say is believe the hype. It's an action packed emotional roller coaster with a sh*t ton of questions still to be answered with just three episodes to go in this season.

Yes, Peacemaker has made these jokes (the WW one hasn't come up in the series yet but was in trailers) and also went on a diatribe about Batman, calling him a pussy, a jackass, and repeating the oft-asked question of how many people he's indirectly killed by not killing villains like the Joker once and for all.
Thing is, this isn't a superhero show. He's a villain, or is actually being portrayed as an anti-villain, and it's working as we see more of who he actually is which has been the biggest and best surprise of the show, but you still have to have elements that show he's still a douche and the poster child for toxic masculinity. He's also shown to be naïve. Direct quotes, first responding to someone saying Global Warming is not a hoax: "Psh, yeah, Facebook's lying to me every day." Being asked where he gets the things he says after the above mentioned Superman comment which was in the newest episode and replying "Google" and being told it's wrong, "So you know more than Google. Congratulations."

Good on you for enjoying this show, but I can't stand James Gunn's garbage sense of humour. I already saw clips of this show, and thought it sucked complete ass. I'm not wasting my time on this brutally unfunny nonsense, I don't care if he's supposed to be a villain or an anti-villain.

DC live action content is in the gutter right now. I really hope the new Discovery merger results in serious change, because this is pathetic.
I've been watching it with my friends on Friday night, and I've been enjoying it for the most part. All of my friends are in love with it, though. I'm not as enthused as them, but I do enjoy it. I don't hate James Gunn, but I'm not a fanboy either. I just find his humor to be a bit contrived at times. I do laugh quite a bit, but it can be a little grating in certain spots.

Same. Humor targeted at the juvenile and juvenile-minded doesn't do much for me usually so some of it I'm not the biggest fan of. The best example would probably be when Vigilante interrupts Peacemaker's emotional moment and the protracted discussion through the window that follows in the second episode. That was obnoxious but some of it, I do catch myself giggling or even outright laughing at (Adebayo's WhatsApp mishap, for instance lol).
What I love is the heart the show has, I really didn't expect it to especially after the first episode (my expectations were not particularly high as it was going on) but it has been great. The scene with Cena right at the end of the sixth episode - and knowing he performed it himself - was amazing, I don't want to spoil it but I guess it's already out there and it is known that he does that in real life anyway, but still. It was such a pleasant surprise.
The show is a f***ing roller coaster of emotions, and I'm loving it.

And episode 7 kicked the speed of that roller coaster up to about 500 f***ing miles per hour. Whew.
Holy sh*t what a ride. Can't really say a word about the finale that isn't a spoiler but wow.

Definitely my favorite DC thing right now. I highly recommend it to anyone that wants to see DC be consistently good. It is indeed very hard to discuss without spoiling it, but I'll say it spins one hell of a good story, which is something the early DCEU struggled with, and I'm already planning a rewatch of the series, starting with The Suicide Squad.
I haven't even seen the finale, but it's all over the internet. I opened up twitter, and I see screen caps of the ending and people openly talking about it. I watch this on Fridays with my friends.
Bummer....

Peacemaker is ground zero in DC's attempt to branch out contemporary cinematic properties to the small screen, and there's no denying the show has a market. It's rated well and is getting a second season. Quite impressive considering The Suicide Squad didn't meet box office expectations. It sets the stage for what's to come with the GCPD and Penguin shows after The Batman.

Dammit that sucks dude. I had someone reply to me saying something about that without any names and I was still thinking "shut the f*** up!" Even saying there's something ruins the surprise. That's why I said I couldn't say anything at all.
I hope you can still enjoy it with your friends for what it is.
Just when I thought that Justice League cameo wasn't cringeworthy enough, John Cena thought it was a good idea to make light of Russia's invasion of Ukraine by plugging his own show.

Then again, maybe a social media manager tweeted this under Cena's name. After all, I've no doubt most actors hire other people to post and publicise on their behalf on Twitter, Facebook and so on.
But it still doesn't the make the tweet any less tone-deaf and inappropriate.
