Vigilante is probably low key the strongest and most capable character in this show lol, consider that he spends most of this show with an injured foot, and then later having been feet away from a grenade, and still kicks so much ass
@@daniellopez8085 First I'm not talking about physically strong in terms of weight lifting, I mean like he's tough. Second those trash cans are heavy af empty so they don't get moved around by wind or vandalized, they are not built to be moved.
@@NeroNyte He's also kinda a tactical genius when you think about it - he's the one who points out the gaps in White Dragon's armour - which is how they defeat him. In fact, he's the one that buys them enough time to escape the Dragon's goons during that first encounter, basically sacrificing himself. And his way of goading all the white supremacist prisoners into attacking him so when he kicks their asses he can argue self-defence is brilliant (although unfortunately, Auggie sees through it).
The fact that he had half a pinkie toe AND barely fell over for the rest of the season shows how powerful he is. I doubt even Batman could do half of what Vig did if someone took a dull knife to any of Bat's toes.
Him murdering people would be instantaneous. No pain involved. Tape would cause pain. If you don't value life, but you do value quality of life, his moral maths adds up.
You have no idea how relieved I am that this video isn’t one of those clips with Wii music and white text of the characters thoughts that zooms in on their little reactions. Genuinely wanted to watch a compilation of Vigilante cause he’s my favourite character from Peacemaker but I’m so sick of those types of videos
@@kajamison2 Even better than that - all those bands will happily admit they wouldn't exist without black artists and music. Especially ZZ Top, who even performed at a lot of otherwise all-black venues way back when they started out.
somehow in this series of morally grey and deep characters this remorseless psychopath who genuinely enjoys murdering people and joking over their dead corpse is the most likable
and played a Prince and first other love interest in Bridgerton season 1, and the famous author/"father of sci-fi" H.G. Wells in Time After Time (my personal fav cos he isn't even a SINnamon roll in that one like in this show, just straight up precious sweet creampuff-cinnamon roll
I thought Adrian was a fucking dork and for the most part that’s true but the scene where he takes the sniper from Chris’ hands ‘cause he couldn’t shoot Butterflies masquerading as the Senator family was so profound
I mean that and the part where he murders people for making graffiti OR SMOKING WEED and doesn't feel any remorse for killing innocent people by accident. He just embodies the concept of utilitarianism taken to the absolute extreme with no room for nuance.
Both were great. Basically different characters completely who just happened to have the same name. But both fitted into their respective shows perfectly.
Its crazy how funny and amazing his character is, I wouldn't say he "carried" the show but man he was a big and funny part of it, so happy season 2 is coming
Since they wrote him pretty much as DC’s live action Deadpool kinda, I think it be funny that I’m season 2 they unveil he has like a minor healing factor but he literally just takes little naps n heals n doesn’t remember so he doesn’t even know he has a healing factor. I think it help play into the oblivious nature of the character. Cuz there’s no way vigilante does t have a healing factor from this season 😂
I think the Deadpool comparison is OK, but seems to be based on him being zany and having similar tactical gear etc. But in this show Vig's a psychotic himbo. Deadpool isn't a himbo.
@The Rue Morgue He's a psychopath, and an excellent fighter/tactician. But smart? SOOO many jokes in the show are about how daft he is! Like him twisting his face when his mask is taken off so he won't be recognised, or how easily Adebayo recognises him when he's hiding by the dumpster, or him worrying about 'not being able to walk again' when he loses his pinkie toe. His stupidity is very very much part of his character in this show.
So there's been multiple Vigilante in the comics - the first one was a stunt motorcycle rider for a traveling circus (he's the version that showed up in the JLU cartoon, voiced by Nathan Fillion). Second one was Adrian Chase, who was a district attorney who had a psychotic episode - or possibly a supernatural encounter, and did, in fact, have what amounted to a minor supernatural healing factor.
…..this version of vigilante is a whole lot more “lol I’m random” than Ryan Reynold’s Deadpool Best example is his obsession with Goff’s favorite color
We should thank the DCEU for being so all over the place that led to this show. Because Man of Steel’s third act took things too far, Batman v Superman was one of the movies of all time. Because Sups was temporarily dead, Amanda Waller greenlit a batshit insane program. Because Suicide Squad sucked, Suicide Squad 2 was everything the first one falsely advertised (a good kind of weird). And because Peacemaker survived his loss to “he does the same thing I do”, we got this lovable undiagnosed sociopath

Strongest? He was struggling to move a trash can. It was really full so I’ll give him that but I feel like peacemaker is stronger than him

@@LukeKimmell Not to mention changing up his face when his mask is removed so he can't be identified! Genius. Love him.
He is basically a golden retriever. A high skilled psychopathic killer golden retriever.
I'm obsessed with this description lmao
yeah or just a murderous himbo XD
Don't forget the autism
N?
So a golden retriever around a squirrel
"So you're compassionate about tape, but not brutally murdering people?"
"...yes."
Vigilante's character in a nutshell
Him murdering people would be instantaneous. No pain involved. Tape would cause pain.
If you don't value life, but you do value quality of life, his moral maths adds up.
@@humanperson8418 There's plenty of pain in murdering people and valuing life quality but not life itself is morally contradictory.
its his face that kills me
He deserves his own show
a sitcom with peacemaker would be a better choice....
No

Tumblr and its consequences have been a disaster for the internet.
the music is also sometimes so loud you can barely hear the characters and it gives you a headache.
I’m so glad I’m not the only who hates those videos
13 year old tiktok girl-type edits
You're right, I'm getting seriously sick of these types of videos.
The wonderful way he roasts racists is beautiful
Fr W DC
It's even better when you remember all the bands he mentioned are southern rock
Not just racists, straight up members of a white supremacist superhuman cult
Power fantasies ftw
@@kajamison2 Even better than that - all those bands will happily admit they wouldn't exist without black artists and music. Especially ZZ Top, who even performed at a lot of otherwise all-black venues way back when they started out.
“Why’re you honking?” And peacemakers split second response of “shut up” is the best shit ever
Genuinely my favorite scene
He is the DnD character who rolled 5 for intelligence and 20 for wisdom
he has high charisma but rolls nat 1s way too often
somehow in this series of morally grey and deep characters this remorseless psychopath who genuinely enjoys murdering people and joking over their dead corpse is the most likable
It’s still crazy to figure out that the guy who plays Adrian is the same guy who wanted to get with Hermione in Harry Potter 6😂😂😂
HE WHAT?
And who appeared as Lucy Hales love interest in a Cinderella story
Honestly he’s gorgeous though
he vomited on snape jajaja
and played a Prince and first other love interest in Bridgerton season 1, and the famous author/"father of sci-fi" H.G. Wells in Time After Time (my personal fav cos he isn't even a SINnamon roll in that one like in this show, just straight up precious sweet creampuff-cinnamon roll
He’s like if Ted Lasso and Dexter were fused into one person.
Or Deadpool and Deathstroke
Buddy was the undeserved MVP in this show best supporting character too
Vigilante is best boy. So funny, so lovable, so adorable. 🥰
literally a mass murderer
He is most unique character and both cute ,selfless and horrifying
i love this guys ryan reynold energy just for the sake of being a proper comedic relief in this dark humor tale
"How do you know my password?"
"I know my own birthday, dude."

This guy and the one from arrow are like opposites.
He’s literally the embodiment of what Peacemaker no longer wants to be but x10
I mean that and the part where he murders people for making graffiti OR SMOKING WEED and doesn't feel any remorse for killing innocent people by accident. He just embodies the concept of utilitarianism taken to the absolute extreme with no room for nuance.
Bro didn’t give af. His hands rated E for everyone
@@zedhart2062what guy from arrow
my face hurts from smiling sm I had the same wide smile expression for the past 12 mins it hurts so bad 😭
I think you discovered real face muscle building exercises. You'll have a jacked face like Peacemaker soon enough.
Deadpool if he was played by Jake Peralta
lmao thats accurate
RIGHT?
accurate
I was thinking the same thing!
Vigilante having the Barbie ringtone is even more hilarious when John Cena starred in Barbie!
As the 🧜♂️ Ken
“Starred”
ironcally enough. vigilante was right about whole ants and fish debate. there are 20 quadrillion ants while there are 3.5 trillion fish.
yes! and the lower on the food chain you go, the more important the species is to the rest of the world!
this show is actually a masterpiece
3:26 This scene made me crack up more than it should have😭
shutup
It's like that one childhood friend who wanted to be a ninja and blow up fireworks just totally committed and turned out to be hyper capable
Adrian Chase in Peacemaker: 🤡
Adrian Chase in CW: 😐
ikr? Complete 180
Both were great. Basically different characters completely who just happened to have the same name. But both fitted into their respective shows perfectly.
Because the CW sucks. 🙄😒
The Throwing Star Killer
Whats CW?
Its crazy how funny and amazing his character is, I wouldn't say he "carried" the show but man he was a big and funny part of it, so happy season 2 is coming
Vigilante is someone who'll fight for everyone for any wrong or illegal thing.
Oh my god!!!! I never thought I would find my favorite DC character, but this man has enlightened me😂😂
Adrian seriously reminds me of Link from Good Mythical Morning. What a wildly strange revelation my brain came up with today.
4:33 smooth transition
can you believe he played the prince in Bridgerton 😂😂
NO WAY 😭 HE’S THAT PRINCE???
I KNEW HE LOOKED FAMILIAR
Also Connor McLaughlin from Harry Potter
Adrian Chase (CW):"I'm 10 steps ahead and you even figured out what game we're playing yet."

@@snorpenbass4196 And there's this one, the one from the live-action TV series 😆
How you write deadpool without being “ooh LOL I’m so random”
Yeah, this Vigilante acts more like Deadpool.. would love to see James Gunn write and direct the next Deadpool movie.
deadpool but hes actually funny
…..this version of vigilante is a whole lot more “lol I’m random” than Ryan Reynold’s Deadpool
Best example is his obsession with Goff’s favorite color
@@crem-crem4070Deadpool if he had autism
“How do you know my password?”
“I know my own birthday dude.”💀💀
7:46 vigilante reaching for his gun when he's angry is so subtle and good
I prefer this Chase over the Arrow verse version
No.
cuz this version is a actual character .CW made a prop just like in comics .adrian is the most boring vigilante .gunn saved another character
I officially fell in love with Freddie Stroma during this show 😍
I can't believe they made Scott the Woz a superhero
He kinda look and sound like idubbbz too
“no, i’m not going to kill my dad.”
“why not?”
“because i love him.”
“oh.”
i have never seen this show, but i need to now lmao
The way I would let this man do whatever he wants to me
Honestly tho
Good to know.
Me too (i am a straight man)

“Butterfly is not a bird IT’S A FUCKIN BUG”
lowkey think he'd be a great deadpool.
7:47 cracks me up every time 😂
last night i saw less than 20 seconds of this video and it convinced me to watch the show... it was one of the best decisions i've made
3:05 The most autistic, but the most important and best part of the show.
I thought it was pretty funny that he was crying because peacemakers dad was still alive
0:19 the funny thing is that he actually was leaving.
A convo between him and Deadpool would be hilarious. Deadpool would keep him as a pet that he just got to say funny things and show off to people lol
Vigilante has a healing factor. He can still be killed but he heals stab and gunshot wounds very quickly. Which explains him surviving the grenade.
best character of the show
7:11 this part legit killed me
he's like a nerdy version of deadpool, i love it.
This show was all over the place when it came to the tone and the overall quality, but Vigilante was always a bright spot in it.
I thought the show was consistently good.
Was consistently amazing. And pretty consistent in tone as well. Goofy,, action packed but with serious, emotional undertones to it as well.
Just imagine Deadpool and Vigilante in one frame.
9:21 Nice job, Vigilante
You nearly caused the end of the world!!!
The script writers were absolutely brilliant
"Well how else am I gonna experience motherhood."
3:42 that match-cut was beautiful
I can’t believe this guy went with Hermione to Slughorn’s party
The best character fr
So you’re compassionate about accidentally deleting Eaglys pics, but not about brutally murdering people?
Yes
0:20 kinda relatable. Like u obviously not gonna do something and someone rudely says not to do it you just wanna do it to spite them
Best character by far!
Compassionate about tape but not brutally murdering people
11:12 “bro what the fuck” 😂
I was trying to describe him and came up with “Deadpool if he was pathetic”
Omg I love himmm
I love him.
6:50 when i met my match in a video game
FACTS
I did not notice the Dahmer glasses till now.
Bro they're just old-school glasses
Vigilante sounds like Deadpool
Just realised he was in Harry Potter abs the half blood Prince
The hashtag me too cut sent me😭
"Why are you honking?"
When you get the joke of "why it's not cool" and realise you're probably a psychopath.
Cormac mclaggen to this is IMPECCABLE
Can we agree that vigilante is like the dc equivalent of Deadpool
3:26 that’s gotta be improvised 😭
My favorite character hands down…. After eagley
The guy with the beard is the same guy from titanic who explains the sinking to the old Rose.
1:46 OH GOD THAT CAUGHT ME SO OFF GUARD IMJAJJJASJDJDJDJDJDJ
1:30 his delivery on the white red neck music sound line😂
Leonard Hofsteader had one hell of a glow up.
Him and Deadpool would be besties
I can't be the only one who thinks he looks like Logic🤨
I will give him points for dedication to hiding his identity when it's already clear the person knows it.
Don't use tape, that will hurt their wrists.
He asked Geoff if his favorite color is teal because that's the color of his suit
This character is like Jake Peralta's daydream of being a superhero
i love this man so much on god
"☝dont push me" 😂
Didn't like the Peacemaker character in the movie, but I might watch the series just for the guy in glasses.
It's a really good series
A lot different from the Adrian Chase on Arrow
WE LOVE HIM
Best character of DCEU
My favourite ❤ superhero
😍 love it!
