![]() ![]() For starters, let’s talk about the dark creature of the night aka BATMAN! Peacemaker’s father’s next-door neighbor is consistently questioning Peacemaker on whether he is truly a superhero. Peacemaker is dropping a lot of different breadcrumbs that show the DCEU is currently being built. Does this include potentially killing his father? It will be interesting to see how far Peacemaker truly goes to keep the peace. Being a supervillain named “The White Dragon” does not necessarily lend itself to peaceful scenarios. We must remember that he will do anything to keep the peace. As the series progresses, it is becoming more and more clear to me, that on some level, Peacemaker resents his father. Guilty by association, right? There was even a conversation between Waller and Adebayo about Peacemaker potentially being a racist as well remember in episode one when Waller said, “you do know who his father is”). ![]() One of the running conversations is that he only kills minorities (which he adamantly denies). Now (much like Waller and Adebayo), one would assume that Peacemaker is a racist as well. Heck, that prison scene at the end of episode two, confirmed that he truly embodies white supremacy. Without mentioning exactly what he says, we all know that Peacemaker’s dad is a racist of the highest class. I can see an internal struggle beginning to take place with Adebayo, as she is trying to live up to her mother’s expectations while remaining faithful and true to herself.Īnother thing that stuck out to me in this episode, is the relationship between Peacemaker and his father aka the White Dragon. This is more spiritually aligned to Waller’s viewpoint and mindset. She recognizes that there will come a time and place, that you must make a decision. She is more of a laid-back pacifist who is also a pescatarian. But like we saw in the last episode, Adebayo marches to the beat of a different drum. That killer instinct should be ingrained in her. Naturally, one would assume “like mother like daughter.” Adebayo should be hardcore as well. Adebayo is the daughter of Amanda Waller (the hardcore director of Project X amongst other things). The one that sticks out to me the most, is the dynamics between Harcourt and Adebayo. We are only on episode four of Peacemaker, and we have already had some amazing character development. *Spoilers to follow* Character Development: Let’s peek and see what is going on with Peacemaker and the rest of the team. How so? The emotions and family dynamics. This episode is directed by Jody Hill which sharply contrasts with the previous episodes. Gunn and the rest of the team are going there with seemingly every episode. In Peacemaker episode four titled “The Choad Less Traveled, caused me to do a double-take, then bust out laughing. Shows such as Supernatural and Batman the Animated Series immediately stick out in my mind. Here are a few reactions to that Peacemaker scene.I love it when tv shows have super creative titles. The scene - and the big hero moment that occurs for Economos during it - is definitely one of a kind, and also subverts fans' expectations that the gorilla might have really been one of the more well-known apes in DC canon, whether that be Gorilla Grodd or otherwise. The gorilla, which was possessed by a Butterfly, nearly attacked Peacemaker, only to be sawed in the chest with a chainsaw and killed by John Economos (Steve Agee). The attempt to take the facility down quickly grew into a bloody and deadly affair - one that was only escalated with the arrival of Charlie the Gorilla, who was hinted as having escaped the local zoo in Episode 4. The episode saw Peacemaker and the rest of his team continuing to investigate Project Butterfly, and discovering the distribution center for the Butterflies' food source. Spoilers for Episode 5 of Peacemaker, "Monkey Dory", below! Only look if you want to know! In the series' fifth episode, that included one of the bloodiest scenes that the show has had yet - and quite possibly one of the weirdest. Along the way, there have been some bizarre references of DC Comics canon, some wonderful character moments, and a conspiracy that has continued to build upon itself. ![]() The series chronicles the adventures of Christopher Smith / Peacemaker (John Cena) and his team of unlikely allies, as they try to take down the mystery of Project Butterfly. HBO Max's Peacemaker is continuing full steam ahead in its first season, and each new episode has taken fans' expectations of the live-action DC universe to new heights. ![]()
