Peacemaker's abilities with his helmet are voice controlled so it's lore accurate but him calling out moves is also a reference to John Cena in WWE who would always call out spots during matches and also makes him feel like an MVC character lmao
Honestly Peacemaker is probably the most slept on best part of the whole DCU. When they said before The Suicide Squad he was getting a show I was like thats dumb... then I saw the movie and was like... yeh he doesn't need his own show... then I watched episode 1 and was like HOLY SHIT I WAS SO WRONG! It' so fucking good lol
kinda wish they didn’t casually shotgun blast me with the knowledge that both Pepe the Frog and BTS both canonically exist in the DC Universe but other than that, yeah
I just watched the whole series over a few days last week for the first time so it's still fresh in my mind and it was so unexpectedly good. James Gunn really is the best thing to ever happen to the DCCU. The MK1 devs absolutely nailed all the references too and I recognize all of them from the show.
This is the first time I watched his reaction without seeing the trailer first, and I will be making sure to do that from now on. Because it was hilarious not actually knowing what was going on
its dumb if you ask me! for unless they got a C&D notice from netherealm studios to NOT show the fatalities in their videos OR got a warning from the RU-vid police, it is completely pointless to completely block this!
The Janet Cage triple jump attack is the deepest old school competitive MK deep cut they could make. It's the same attack Johnny does in the first MK and the pose Daniel Pesina makes in the old arcade cabinet
@@thatoneguy1232 it was supposed to be but something got changed in development. I assume it was gonna be modeled after Daniel Pesina but maybe something fell through or felt it already looked too similar to JCVD skin
I love that Eagly isn’t a cameo but a special move. He and that badass bird are absolutely inseparable!🦅🦅🦅🦅 Also, Peacemaker FINALLY got his jet pack, and it’s for his fatality!
@@dougtheghoul2845 They already add him in Injustice 2 Mobile. I think it safe to say Peacemaker will be in Injustice 3 if NRS decided to make the game in the future (idk why, but I have a feeling the next NRS game could be MK vs Injustice, with MK now revolved around multiverse, and the inclusion of Omni-Man and Homelander is like a preparation for Liu Kang to met evil Superman. And also basically them try to correct their MK vs DC failure)
In The Suicide Squad he acted professionally due to being on a mission, but the series explores his everyday life where he acts more relaxed. He's a very unique character; the best way I can describe him is as a goofy, rockstar, sociopathic bro. It's evident that they incorporated a lot of that into the way he fights. Those who only saw The Suicide Squad don't know how beautiful it is to see Eagly in action. 🤣 Also, the ultimate Komeback would be a John Cena(wwe outfit) skin
The Peacemaker TV show is by far one of the most underrated shows that came out of the DCEU. It was literally the first time I saw Cena flex his acting muscle in a show and made me think that he actually had some flexibility in future movie roles. To Max and anyone else on the fence, it is absolutely worth the time investment to binge the show.
@@Dachin55555 underrated as in, it deserves way more credit than it gets for being a great show. People tended to overlook it because they think it’s a cheap spinoff of Suicide Squad
Max you NEED to see the Peacemaker show. It's honestly great. Surprisingly deep, well written and well acted, and funny as hell. Most of the references in this trailer will make a ton of sense once you watch the show: all the different helmet abilities, Eagly, the poison blow-darts (not snot rockets), and even his victory animation. Even his intro line with Mileena cuts deep in reference to the show.
Honestly that Mileena interaction is already one of the funniest in MK history solely because of how she objects to “monster” but not “bangable” It’s just that one Top Gear bit where Clarkson gives May shit for calling himself “stylish and contemporary”
As someone who watched Peacemaker show, seeing Max's reaction to stuff outside of the movie got me giggle, especially after the takes that he's going to be just a Robocop cause guns lol.
Honestly after MK11 had like 9 or 10 different gun fighters I can appreciate them still restricting his amount of gun usage, or at the very least using them in more varied ways
I love how silly John Cena is willing to get, compared to Dwayne Johnson who literally has things in his contract where he's not allowed to look weak, Dwayne is a strong dude, Cena is a loveable goof with an incredibly fun personality, a heart of gold AND is also a strong dude.
Im kinda hoping that the meter burn from one of those grabs turns into the attitude adjustment but it would not make to much sense, he has the grab headbutt and slam like move.
I NEED to see the alternates on Peacemaker. I'm hoping they sneak in his Kingdom Come and League Buster armor as palette swaps lol Side note: Peacemaker acts exactly like this in the show. The show is also goddamn hysterical
idk about skins but MK Onslaught features his fully modeled face (no helmet) so its possible that his gear piece is his helmet. Pure speculation but its possible we can be even more John Cena than we already are 😂im super excited.
The show is genuinely fuckin good, BTW. Improv-y as hell, got some heart to it as well, and Cena’s performance is genuinely awesome and hilarious in equal measure.
The “spitball” is a tiny blowgun, in the tv show, he uses it to help mentally and silently “defeat” a hallucination because he rationally knows using his guns would make too much noise. You sort of have to see it.
Janet's cameo attack is a reference to Cage's MK 1 "combo". It was one of the only few true combo strings in the game. Since landing an air to air jump high punch interrupted your jump arc, you would hit the ground before your opponent, and could follow up with another. If it was done in a corner, it was an infinite. It can only be done in 1.0 versions of the arcade game.
I’m shocked that Peacemaker became Popular for just 3 Years and it also Revolutionized John Cena’s Career in a New Light, anyway NRS made Peacemaker and Janet as Energetic and Over the Top Goofy in the Best Way Possible that just left me feeling Happy and having a Smile in a Good Mood this Morning, Peacemaker is more than just a Gun Character as he has Trick Helmets, a Shield, Eagley as a literal Wingman, Air Trust, Air Gus that would make Bill and Ted Proud, and a Hilarious Charisma that shows that John Cena was having Fun and the Time of His Life playing this Character and Janet is perhaps the First Kameo that has Voice Lines and has Johnny’s Missing Green Glow with her Own unique style, not to mention I haven’t seen a Muscular Female Character in the Franchise since MK9, can’t wait to hear Peacemaker’s Dialogues in the Next Week and I’m hoping that the Next Update is Enough to give MK1 some Life.
It seems that his walk and a handful of his normals are derived from MKX Jason; which translated into MK11 Terminator, and now being inputted into Peacemaker. And I'm very excited to see that he'll be just as fun as those two!
I know it probably wont happen, since it would be a second character from the Peacemaker show, but I really hope we get Vigilante as a playable fighter in one of the future Kombat Packs. I think he outshined Peacemaker in his own show, which is pretty wild.
I can already see Peacemaker being the best DLC character for Mortal Kombat 1 and the interactions between him and Johnny Cage and even the DLC skin of Jean-Claude Van Damme will be very hilarious. I will say one thing though and that is having the female version of Johnny Cage AKA Janet cage be part as a Kameo character will be a blast to play as. Possible intro dialogue Johnny Cage: “I heard that you were part of a chain gang is that true?” Peacemaker: “There was a man who claim to be the doctor of Funk a nomics.” Peacemaker: “And who are you supposed to be? Van damme’s stunt double.” Johnny Cage: “I’m going to introduce you to my two best friends Bumpy and knuckles.” Johnny Cage: “Dirty Harry called and says he wants his ashtray back that’s on your head.” Peacemaker: “You remind me of a man called Hal Jordan.” Peacemaker: “I’ve never known has been actors that can stomach action films.” Johnny Cage: “For a guy called peacemaker you sure do you want to go to war.” Van Damme Cage: “The Few. The Proud. The biggest loser that never joined the Corp.” Peacemaker: “This is one street fight you cannot win.” Peacemaker: ”You sir would’ve been an expendable asset to the suicide squad.” Van Damme Cage: “And you are one bad bad man for having a shark as a king.”
I love the gong sound when Janet Cage performs the nut punch. I'm going to make a prediction, with Janet Cage being released during Milena's Season of Hybrid, I think they will use all the mixed characters from the Pyramid chapter in story mode for the Invasion fights.
For the first jannet assist I think its something akin to a "turret" she comes out, kicks qnd stays there, once the enemy gets close she does her next attack
