Loved the show.  But I feel like Vigilante’s lines all rang a bit like: “What would Jason Mantzoukas say right now?”  Don’t get me wrong, it’s usually funny but I was trying to place what Vigilante reminded me of and it was Rafi from The League as a superhero.

I hope they don’t get cute and give Vigilante a spin off show. It would be a mistake because he plays so well off of Cena. 
 

I’m still grappling with how they’ll replace Murn as the straight man. Harcourt is the logical successor, but she tries too hard to be serious. Murn was just effortlessly serious.

Vigilante is better when he fights and isn’t trying to be bad version of Deadpool funny. 
 

Don’t care for adebayo/actress. 
 

Love the show though. 
 

So was it diarrhea?
Yes.

Gunn on why he didn't spend an episode trying to change or explain Peacemaker's continuity.

Spoiler

“Could I make it so that Peacemaker is the DCEU Peacemaker, even though he’s not really the DCEU Peacemaker, and he walks through that portal, and that’s where the DCEU Peacemaker is?” Gunn said. “I could have, but people are like, ‘How are normies going to understand it?’ And no, the answer is, normies don’t give a shit. Normies don’t care about all this canon stuff so intimately.”

“It doesn’t matter if it’s not completely consistent in the past. So I thought the simple way was really the best, which is just saying, yeah, this world is a little different. We know there’s universes, and this is the universe in which everything was exactly the same as Season 1, except for the Justice League.”

Agree. I was hoping we were done with all of that. We’ll see how it turns out.

Read the quote from Gunn I posted above. It’s not meant to be a major plot/thread through the series, but to get a character that Gunn likes from the Snyderverse to the current DCU  He just wants Peacemaker to get from Point A to Point B as quickly as possible without taking up the season or even an entire episode, and he doesn’t want to bog it down in “canon stuff”.

He’s trusting the audience not to get too wrapped up in it, especially since Peacemaker was not really in the core of the Synderverse.

Cool.  You've convinced me to let it play out a bit, even though I'm not a fan of multiverse.

I've seen a few people saying he's just being lazy to take a shortcut to get things into the current DCU or whatever, but as he says "normies don’t give a shit."

Plus, he made the right call with Superman - skipping the origin and jumping us right into the existing universe where Superman had been a thing for years. They come across as shortcuts, but it's more that he knows the audience, and doesn't want to waste time rehashing old stuff.

I think John Cena is a very good comedic actor, and comedy is much harder to pull off than drama.
 Based on the few dramatic scenes in the first season, I would really like to see him in a serious role at some point.

If he gained some weight and wasn’t in ridiculously good shape, I could see him as a solid villain.
