WHY PEACEMAKER IS THE BEST DC SHOW 

You could've just had a picture of James Gunn for 16 minutes and I would've accepted it lol. All jokes aside this show has no reason to be this good or fun!

Seeing Peacemaker’s dad, I’m honestly impressed he didn’t end up being even MORE awful than he is.

I love how they just casually name drop characters in a very conversational way. It's a subtle and natural way to paint an image of a wider, more expansive universe.

"I'm sorry this show isn't as bleak and miserable as your parents made you." That line alone made me give this a thumbs up.

Warner, just give James Gunn DC's keys, and let him do whatever he wants.

I think John Cena is perfect because he looks like he’s straight out of a 90’s captain America comic.

I can’t say enough good things about John cena as peacemaker man.. he is absolutely amazing and shows more range and comedic timing in just this one role than the rock has in his entire acting career lol he’s just amazing to watch in this role

Very genuinely surprised with how the show turned out, gives me Kick-Ass vibes, I love it

This show is hilariously awesome. It feels like the people who did Doom Patrol did this show and it is excellent. I love the intro dance. I love the cast. It is awesome. I am someone who hated his first movie and wasn’t sure he could make it as an actor. He has surprised me with his persistence.

i like the fact that the costumes for the characters in the suicide squad and peacemaker stay true to the comic versions. unlike most superhero movies nowadays which keep making superhero costumes with more lines and hexagonal pattern textures and stuffs (idk how to describe it but you get the point). and the characters. they're awesome as heck.

John Cena is fucking fantastic I’ve always thought he should break into Hollywood.

Seriously this show is amazing. The fact cena is playing this character so easily and is committed to the role in a fun way. This guy you can tell loves putting on his costume. This show does such a good job of humanizing shitty people and being optimistic enough to say “ maybe if he was around better people he could be healthier “

John Cena as peacemaker is pretty much just a documentary of what John Cena the WWE character would be in his universe with sci fi effects. Thats why it works so well.

I was originally planning on watching the show just for John Cena but that changed when i realized that this show is actually good

I'm so glad that DC got James Gunn to head DC movies/TV. Couldn't have picked anyone better.

I am a big fan of the Snyder-verse but James Gunn’s the suicide squad movie and peacemaker series is awesome and I am so excited for what James Gunn’s next dc show is gonna be Ps: peacemaker…., what a joke

So far I'm enjoying peacemaker it is a really good show and John Cena is perfect for this character but it might honest opinion to me the best DC show right now is Superman and Lois that show keeps getting better and better each episode is always getting better Tyler heckling an amazing Superman

Unpopular this is better than all of the recent marvel live action shows

I like Peacemaker a lot, but I like Doom Patrol more. Please talk about Doom Patrol, Vee.

This show has proven to me that James Gunn is a master of Black Comedy. This show is DARK but there's something relatedly grounded in this universe. Like you've met people that are like some of the multi-layered characters that are in this show, both good and bad. "Peacemaker, what a joke..."

I think the reason peace maker is succeeding is the same reason marvel succeeded. It’s because nobody knows who the character is, so it gives the director and the writers more freedom and leg room to expand the character and make small tweaks in their personality/origins to resinate with today’s audience. Rather than taking an already house hold name-comic book hero that ppl know and love, and built up their own expectations since they were kids. Example- Before 2008, who really cared or knew about Iron man, Thor, Black widow etc. ? Nobody! So when marvel was first starting the writers had free reign to make the characters how ever they wanted with little to no push back or hate from fans. Now on the other hand we all know who Superman, Batman, Flash, joker, darkseid etc. we all know who and what DC is. So when we see Superman snapping necks, and joker wearing jewelry and having tattoos we’re going to have a problem with it because it’s not the version of the character we grew up watching. -now back to my point about peace maker, nobody knows who he is so that gave James Gunn the freedoms to basically to create his own character and have fun with it. If it were a more popular character I GUARANTEE ppl would be hating on it. If it was deadshot or death stroke ppl would be like “this is stupid, death stroke doesn’t act like that”

Cena made this C-level comic antihero famous.

This is the best independent rundown of the Peacemaker series I've seen so far. The absence of corporate really makes a difference here. Oh dear but I have to correct you, Vee, it's not "beard-dye" - it's "dye-beard".

"..We don't need to cut in with a Jason Momoa cameo.." That didn't age well.

I’m a Marvel guy but this Show Peacemaker is something special and I’m really liking this one. DC you have created 💎 on this show. Peacemaker with Vigilante is hilarious.

Vigilante is amazing. His chemistry with Harcourt is perfect. he is like that younger brother always getting into trouble and the big sister has to keep him out of trouble. Which is a line that peacemaker doesn't draw for vigilante. I would say those 2 have the best chemistry of the show. Not only should peacemaker have a season 2. But hardcore and vigilante should have a show of misadventures when peacemaker if off on missions. to run in the offseason of peacemaker. Where they can introduce new characters into the dcu. Like 1 mission could have weasel and another episode could have kingshark appearances. 🦅 could even make appearances. Maybe some 🦋

That intro sequence is amazing. Just batshit craziness and then "Written and Directed by James Gunn". Yeah, thanks I could tell.

The janitor showing up in the 6 th episode was something no one saw coming , james gunn is a legend

I love a lot of what this show has to offer, but I think the moment that absolutely cemented it and Cena as Peacemaker as a favorite in my book was the scene in the one of the last couple episodes where Peacemaker breathlessly, almost desperately, confesses to Harcourt "I don't want to kill people anymore." Just the way he said it, like if he didn't say it fast enough he wouldn't be able to say it at all, like it had been bottled up for so long and finally burst out in one breath, was such a beautiful moment and so painfully human.

Intro goated

It’s only 3 episodes in and it’s on par with Doom Patrol so far but I do think it’s too early to tell if it the best DC TV show but it’s definitely on its way to becoming that for sure

I was dragging my feet to watch this. I didn't like peace maker in the movie and didn't care about him from the comics but when I finally forced myself to watch this because it's DC and I'm a huge DC fan and a bit of a masochist. I loved it and found myself really bummed I had to wait for more. This came out of left field but I'm totally here for it. Oh and "peace maker, what a joke"

This is a great video essay, dude. Glad RU-vid actually came through for once. Peacemaker rules. That intro is incredible.

I totally agree with everything V says. Totally brilliant show.

I was unsure when I was going to watch this, but now I definitely will soon. Even if he killed my boy Flag. Peacemaker, what a joke.

I haven't watched any of the Arrowverse shows, but I freaking adore this show. It's absolutely hilarious, the entire cats is great, it's somehow even raunchier and more violent than The Suicide Squad, which I didn't think was possible, and holy crap, the intro is the best thing I've ever seen in any DC project. Okay, maybe not, but it's freaking amazing.

WIth James Gunn love for mascot characters, cast of multiple characters playing role of their own protagonist. Mixing grotesque violence with heart. I just can't imagine other director to make Borderlands adaptation. I mean this game series is perfect for guy like him! as its exactly the same format

Titans and peacemaker are my favorite live action dc shows

Peacemaker what a joke indeed! I'm actually in love with the show so much I got two friends to watch a couple episodes and they already want to see the rest so we're going to make it a weekly thing. So yeah definitely follow up once it's done I'm interested to see where it goes

I gotta give it up to Cena as an actor because comedy is VERY difficult to pull off acting wise, yet 8/10 (changeable estimate), the man delivers. Seeing him tackle emotional moments has also been a massive surprise to me because damn, he commits to them like nobody's business. Fantastic video!

I know you posted this video before episode 4, but I really like how vigilante grows from idolizing peacemaker into his own character. Also the delivery of “I think I might have made things worse” is amazing

Here me out... A 'Batmite meets Batman' movie starring Ben Affleck, written by the creators of 'Happy!'

How the hell did he get Kevin "The Legendary" Conroy and Tara "The Talented" Strong in his outro?! That's awesome! I'm subscribing.

I am infinitely glad that DC is FINALLY making something fun.

I have to say that I absolutely love this show! The action and comedy are fantastic! Great storyline! Cena is awesome! The one thing I wasn’t expecting and totally blew me away is the show’s soundtrack! Bands like Hanoi Rocks, Sister Sin, EnuffZ’Nuff, Lita Ford, and Firehouse just to name a few! All these kickass heavy metal bands! I don’t know who is responsible for the show’s soundtrack but they are doing an awesome job!

This is the Best DC Show ever made even more then Doom Patrol

In the bus scene in TSS, when blood sport and rat catcher 2 talked about their dads, if you pay attention to peacemaker you can see he is reacting very subtly to the conversation and shows he has some dads issues, which are développed in the show

I love peacemaker. It was totally worth watching. Looking forward to seeing more episodes

"but we dont need to cut into a Jason Momoa cameo that adds nothing to the overall plot"

This new era of live action DC shows and movies are really great rn

So far in this series, whenever you are going to see Peacemaker, you are going to see him in his uniform even when he doesn't need to. That's really funny when you realize that John Cenna also used that uniform in almost all the interviews for Suicide Squad when nobody else had it on.

Good so far. Peacemaker and Superman and Lois have started a revival of good DC TV. One I haven’t seen since Arrow was on air.

This show is better than I would have thought, and yes please make more videos about it.

Fun (kinda) fact. If anyone remembers that John Cena movie from a long time ago "The Marine" then you'll know that this isn't the first time Peacemaker and his father's actors have worked together.

The way Cena handles himself while dancing reminds me SO MUCH of Terry Cruz. Some musclebound mountain of a man, dancing with the passion of an exentric broadway actor... beautiful

This aged like the finest of wine. Season 1 absolutely banged

Though it only got one season I feel like Swamp Thing doesn't get enough praise. It was my favorite but Peacemaker has been great and we'll most likely get more of it.

John Cena is the Rock of the 2010s. Amazing WWE star turned into mainstream movie star

You have been having a lot of hot takes about Spider-Man no way home and Halloween kills but You are right about peacemaker

The cameos at the end of the final episode was nice. Great video!

One thing I find hilarious and I never see anyone talking about is that Robert Patrick played John Cena’s first ever villain in his film The Marine, and now he’s playing his dad and most likely his first supervillain opposite in this show. That casting can’t possibly have been coincidental.

*SPOILERS FOR THE LAST EPISODE* 9:56 Ironic how this is what happened in the show in the end but its actually funny lol it doesn't need to be there but it felt more than appropriate given how Peacemaker kept giving Aquaman a bad rep with his stories. I love this show

is it just me or does anyone wanna see a peacemaker doom patrol crossover?

I love how Michael Scott is just a personality now

it does remind me a bit of the Netflix Marvel shows, combined with more of the fun of the Tick

Love this Review Vee I enjoyed the first three episodes and as older WWE fan I enjoy seeing Cena act a fool in the best way!

1:24 started my loop

Your comment about a Jason Momoa cameo, is now quite funny, and prescient, huh? :) ... It was quite the cameo though! Just to pay off a joke... loved it. Overall I thought the show was just great!

No doubt. Best show ever

I agree with you. Me and my girlfriend watch the first 3eps. My girlfriend is pretending like she doesn’t like it saying all the things you said in your video but she seems like she’s really interested in it. I personally love the show so far, can’t wait to see what they do with it, I think it has great potential. I hope it gets a second season but it doesn’t seem like it will

I love how Vigilante looks like a Power Ranger

Your outro is perfect, I love it

10:01 well well well

I’m a Zack Snyder fan but I love TSS and how James Gunn is making peacemaker popular. I hope we get a Gunn/Snyder colab when Darkseid comes to take over the world. I want to see the suicide squad and justice league team up!

Great take on the show bro. Always a pleasure my

'We don't need to cut in with a Jason Mamoa Cameo that adds nothing to the plot'-- short shelf life on that one

Have to agree with you Superman and lois had to share same spot with Peacemaker This two show make me looking forward each week

10:00 lol about that

even as a marvel fan i loved this show and i watched it cause of SS 2 and john cena and cause of james gunn and i cant wait for the batman

Shazam with peacemaker would be hilarious.

Peacemaker what a joke! Great show indeed, I love it and I also loved this video, and I really liked that little tease of superman and lois at the end😊 please please please make a video about superman and lois, it would be awesome

I love this show as well it’s the first DCEU show.

The house of pain scene really got to me, I was enjoying the show before that but it was that scene that made me feel a variety of emotions that I was surprised by

The great thing about Peacemaker is how they're exploring his regrets and him realising he's not the man his father tried to make him.

Great review of the show this far. I wasn't even going to give it a chance because I figured it would be just another bland superhero show like falcon and the winter soldier. It's not that at all as you've pointed out. It's sucked me in and I'm excited for more episodes.

"Why Peacemaker is the best DC show" well, to befair, it didnt exactly have much competition

Robert Patrick and John Cena were both in The Marine also

"He's Michael Scott with muscles." Perfect!

I think adedayo is supposed to represent Amanda Waller and show us how she used to be and her decent into being cold blooded clearly shown but how she didn’t want to kill the security guard to shooting judo master

10:37 😂This is, by far, the BEST DC live action show on TV since Arrow, IMO! John Cena was made for this role!

it just gives feeling about serious situation but the characters are not serious in facing it. i like it.

my favorite line was when Adebayo was arguing with Harcourt while Peacemaker was running from the cops - “being a wheel man is *also* dope! I got you!”

Hey what do you mean V? His hair is just naturally odd colored. He doesnt dye hid beard!

Please do one on doom patrol

2:10 "he's like Michael Scott with muscles" *hits subscribe

“Michael Scott with muscles” is the absolute perfect description.

I honestly forgot that peacemaker was a part of the DCEU

I’d love to see a bloodsport cameo

Not only the best DC show, the best screen adaptation of any comic since the first Deadpool movie

As a wrestler I was never into John Cena character but his decision on the movies he has been had surprise me every time. Better than I expected. I see what James Gunn saw on him. Hope he keeps choosing role where he can shine and surprise people not like The Rock.
