Peacemaker Reaction! Why Peacemaker ROCKS!
Think Story called Peacemaker the BEST comic book TV show (or at least indicated that it might be). And while I prefer Daredevil, Loki, and WandaVision, Peacemaker deserves to be at the top of the list. In my reaction, I'll explain why.
Why is Peacemaker awesome? Including the episode 8 and the ending? Let's talk about it.
Peacemaker in Suicide Squad was terrible.
But James Gunn is a master of storytelling, and he makes Peacemaker a lovable character. How?
Why Peacemaker is great...
Peacemaker has amazing characters. They're complex. They're nuanced. They deal with real issues. They have distinct flaws. They struggle to do the right things.
Why is it so easy to like the characters in Peacemaker? Because they seem REAL. We KNOW people like this. WE are people like this!
James Gunn proves, with Peacemaker (and all his other works), that he knows people (e.g., character) and premise (our shared human experience).
Peacemaker and his companions have weaknesses, trauma, and influences. Those things shape the characters.
And then the premise... James Gunn knows how oppressive the world feels, and how hard it is to figure out how we should act. Peacemaker changes drastically. Peacemaker goes from being a government shill to thinking on behalf of himself and his friends.
What was YOUR reaction to Peacemaker, season 1 (and the episode 8, the ending)? And what are you looking forward to for season 2? Let me know!
