    6:14 Peacemaker Finale Easter Eggs Part 1
    10:14 The Opening Credits Dance, Finally Explained
    13:30 Finale Easter Eggs Part 2 and Ending Explained
    The song at the start of the episode is If You Really Really Love Me by Steel Panther, which is all about trying to prove your affection. Which is what everyone is trying to do in this episode. Leota wants to prove her loyalty, Harcourt wants to prove she’s a leader, Jon wants to earn his friends’ respect, Goff wants to prove she wants to help the earth, Vigilante and Eagly wants Peacemaker to love them, and Chris just wants to prove he’s free form his dad.
    Spoiler: he ever will be.
    We learn that the moment Keith died Chris made his vow of peace, which makes the episode 2 scene slap harder-when he refuses to kill a child because the gun doesn't have the dove of peace on it.
    The episode is titled Cow or Never, a play on the Elvis song now or never-a song about wanting to stop fighting and be together. Which is exactly what Goff and the butterflies want.
    They name drop a certain emerald archer [clip]. I think the reason Peacemaker is always saying mean things about heroes is because he’s jealous of the praise they get. We’ve seen that he keeps a newspaper clipping calling him a hero, meaning what he really wants is for everyone to think of him the way they think of the classic DC heroes. So if he can't earn their level of respect, then he can bring them down to his level.
    They explain the helmet to Eagly, much like Rocket explained the Button to baby Groot in Gunn’s Guardians volume 2.
    So here's a question for you. He sees his dad in the woods. And it turns out his dad was standing exactly where the helmet was. So did his dad tie his mind to the helmet, with-like an implant in Chris’s brain?
    The ending makes me think this isn;' the case, and that he’s just losing his mind. I think Chris saw the helmet, and subconsciously manifested his dad. It will be really fun to see James Gunn play with his sanity in season 2.
    Anyone else feel bad for the cow? It’s a parallel to Starro the conqueror, and other alien that was held against its will, so it could be exploited.
    Vigilante and John argue about fish and plants. Which, I dunno, shows how ignorant people are about the environment. Exactly the reason why Goff and the butterflies are on earth, trying to help us.
    The scene where Jon admits that he has to dye his beard could have been played for laughs, but instead they hit just the right note to make it heartbreaking [clip]. I think Jon ended up being one of my favorite characters in the show. He’s the only one who is up front about how broken he is. Everyone is as sad and pathetic as him, he’s just worse at hiding it.
    The scene where the butterflies chase him is an homage to both invasion of the body snatchersand a zombie movie when they swarm over him.
    Wen they activated the helmet, did anyone else keep thinking of this
    Peacemaker goes into his battle with s shield much like Captain America’s first shield-maybe because Cap used that shield in war, where he had to kill.
    And this final fight is set to the theme song, which got me thinking, James Gunn said that the dance was specifically choreographed to align with the arc of the characters in the show. [clip]
    So let’s look at the dance with the benefit of hindsight. I’m not a dramaturge for an expert on modern dance, but this is my best interpretation.

      I hope that maybe in S2 and S3 they will draw inspiration from the mid 2000s Blue Beetle run where Peacemaker (albeit in a rebooted form, different than the one we see here) is a mentor of sorts to Jaime Reyes. A Blue Beetle HBO Max movie is in development so hopefully they will tie it together.

      I really think part of the charm was that it had an 8 episode season. It’s got a lot going on, but they don’t go 12 or 15 episodes to explain every nook and cranny. I think they try to do that with all the marvel shows, but they just have people asking far more questions than answered. Peacemaker wasn’t afraid to say “WHAT THE F*CK IS HAPPENING?!” with its fast paced story. It has all the time it needs, whereas Loki made me want a 20 episode season 1 just because of how huge an idea the story is.
      I’m looking forward to another season of Peacemaker, I think it’s change of pace style is just what the doctor ordered. Really with _The Suicide Squad_ and now _Peacemaker,_ DC’s on a roll. They realized they can’t win with superheroes like Batman/Superman because there’s been so much to compare those characters to, be it depictions in film and cartoons, people in their mid-20’s remember the Justice League cartoon, and grew up with Christian Bale’s Batman alongside the Arkham games to have a reliable image of Batman, and something too different just isn’t *their* _Batman._
      But Peacemaker? Fresh canvas. I’d say maybe 10-20% of comic book fans were aware of Peacemaker pre-The Suicide Squad, and maybe a quarter of fans that saw him in that learned about him before the show, however Peacemaker still hasn’t had an impactful depiction in media for a LONG time.
      People love to see a random/less-recognized hero from a different time try to adjust to our world. That’s part of why Chris Evans’ Captain America is endearing to the audience- people understand he’s from a bygone era just trying to adapt.
      Sure they brought out a few unknowns in both Suicide Squad attempts, but they didn’t invest in the character like they did with John Cena’s Peacemaker. If the actor for Vigilante played Peacemaker instead of John Cena, for the movie+show, it wouldn’t draw the same interest that their John Cena casting did. People noticed. Most reacted to the first time they saw a trailer with a, “why is John Cena wearing that weird helmet?”
      DC gave it a real shot, and that investment in the character is part of why it paid off for them.(I hope that doesn’t come off as a “cast Tom Cruise for everything” but I’m trying to say if you cast a likeable actor without a truckload of promotion(unlike Ben Affleck as Batman, pretty sure they were more interested in having a name as opposed to having someone that people can see thrive in the role).
      This was longer than expected, appreciate it if anyone read it. Have a good day, and I’m sorry this was so long.

      I went into this thinking...I'll give it one episode...wasn't a Cena fan, questionable character but didn't want to write D.C. off. As SOON as I saw Eagly step forward to hit his mark I lost my shyt! So glad someone else thought that was Ace. That sucked me in, the detail this production crew developed was incredible! Like episode two, the "Foster the people" conversation between the couple being tied up and the end credits where the lead singer for Cinderella sings Pumped up kicks and shouts out "how do you like that Evan!?". My head exploded! Quality with intro and credits...made the entire experience top notch.

    Peacemaker shoots his father with a Luger pistol -- a gun closely associated with the Nazis especially during WWII.
    Peacemaker uses a P-90 submachine gun against the butterflies. The P-90 was also the weapon of choice by the Stargate teams, in later seasons, against the Goa'uld , another race of aliens who take over their victims by burrowing into their brains.

    Small reference: seeing how Peacemaker's Dad haunts him even after death reminds me of Poka Dot Man from James Gunn's *The Suicide Squad* . Both Characters end up being haunted by their terrible parents even tho they are gone from their lives. They cope with loss by doing violent or dangerous activities as if their parents were still around. I think when they 'see' their parents they are conflicted between trying to live up to their expectations or trying to move on and away from them. Because despite the abuse and treatment the parents did to them physically, emotionally, and mentally they endured the pain and still loved them.

    • @ThatCatCid
      @ThatCatCid 2 роки тому +4

      Definitely a good catch! I think it could also reference the father character in Dexter for similar reasons that you mentioned. Particularly the father in both cases teaching their son to kill albeit in different ways/motivations, and both Dexter and Peacemaker making vows and a moral code regarding how/who they kill.

      It's actually quite a common after affect, speaking from experience.
      We suffer a syndrome similar to Battered Spouse Syndrome mixed with Stockholm Syndrome, for some fcked up Hybrid offspring.
      Growing up from the late 80's throughout the 90s, in Australia.. nobody gave a crap about the 'feral boy, whom comes from the government housing territories. So it's not like today.. where there's helplines and teachers actually report suspicion of abuse.. My day the teachers that noticed, just had more patients with us and we're more tolerant of our behaviours.
      Other parents that seen a kid like myself with black eyes and bruising all the time.. judged us kids, the victims, as if we were just a naughty PoS that doesn't learn from his beatings.
      I remember in 99 I tried to call a government agency, when I ran away, for help.
      Both they and the cops told me, "Go home, deal with the beatings until I was 18, because they didn't have the government approval of helping kids unless it was an 'extreme' Emergency of your parents kicking you out and making you homeless.
      Which they still rang parents to confirm, but those parents may have not wanted the kid around.. they wanted the government payment for having those kids in their 'custody'.. so the parents would just act like the kid's ran away.. kids living on the streets, parents getting money for a child they haven't seen in weeks/months/years.
      During this period, Foster Homes were avoided for troubled youths over a certain age, due to alot of bad history of the 70's and 80's speaking out.
      I knew this one female, she was a bit older than me.. we both got picked up staying on the streets, tried to argue our case Infront of a judge..
      When she told the judge that her father had repeatedly *Forced her* whilst her drugged out mother was to far in to her la la land, to care.
      The judge said "well you just need to put a lock on your door on the inside to lock your father out at night and during the day; be at school, find a job for after school so you can afford that lock".
      To this day, I have absolutely no respect for the Australian penal system.. . Also the last time I seen that girl, her father had died in a drink driving accident.. She was , in a mindstate of being that her father still talks to her, and she just wants him to love her like a daughter.. not how he did.. and she even said "I still see him nearly daily, he is making up for being the person he was.. I just have to earn his approval."
      And I have had cops show up during one of my beatings, when I said what happened.. they Aggressively and with discourteous said to me "What do you want us to do about it?".. I said "How about your rf#¢king job?' to which they decided to toss me in the cells overnight so I would "learn some respect and my parents wouldn't beat me".
      So I really don't see the need to show police respect either, unless they show it first.
      Also my life really is bottom of the ladder and I still get images of my dad talking me down.. even when I am trying no fix my life/future (I recently enrolled in game development and design) and I constantly have flashes of my dad disparaging me, .. yet I am trying to prove myself to nothing but a mental image.
      So it's definitely a common after hell by-product of the shell shock phenomena.. I suspect Gunn has a bit of knowledge of this, whether via documentaries, personal experience of himself or friend.. or is kind of influenced by Psycho, Ed Gein, etc

    You missed a big one: When Adebayo is doing her reveal of Taskforce X the camera pans to show a "Charlton 5" news van. Charlton Comics were the original owners of the Peacemaker character before DC bought them out in the 80s along with Captain Atom, the Question and several other characters. Peacemaker being the basis for the Comedian character in Alan Moore's Watchmen.
    Or maybe you mentioned it in a previous video I dunno...

    Years before he died, Roger Ebert said that when you see a bad performance in a movie it’s it’s almost never the actor, it’s always the direction or the writing. I think Cena really shows that, he was this wooden, completely forgettable semi-antagonist in F9 and then a few months later he was in SS and now this show and it’s like night and day.
    Glad we’re getting a season 2.

    The dance intro for me showcases how the butterflies act in the show. Dead pan faces moving in sync (showed as well in the jail invasion cene) and how united everyone would be under their so called vow.

    This was a really good show from beginning to end. You would have thought no way is this gonna be good after Suicide Squad, but this was a pleasant surprise. I'm glad it's coming back for a season 2. Hopefully, James Gunn comes back for that season.

    The helmet did hold the souls of peacemaker’s victims in the comic : the helmet also talks to him could be his memory of his father or it’s a ghost

    Worth noting, during the opening number, Judo Master can be seen poking out from behind the scene prior to his full entrance. One of these is from an elevated position, suggesting his awareness of the “behind the scenes” intentions of the Butterflies…

    i have such a love-hate relationship with this channel. the breakdowns are so on point, but, often, the theories and opinions veer FAR from where i see things. i'm only saying any of this because i was so moved by the breakdown of the opening sequence of peacemaker in particular. this part of the video's analysis was brilliant. i am so often put off by the material of this channel, but credit where credit is due, this breakdown really knocked it out of the park. great work!

    The opening song also had the lyrics Leo you really want it” which throughout the series I took as the characters arc. Did Chris really want his freedom if it meant working with a black ops team. Did Waller’s daughter want her job if it meant betraying her friends. Did Hardcourt really want to work a black ops job if it meant having to work with Peacemaker. The detectives had the difficult choice of allowing the white dragon free or keep him locked up because he was innocent of that crime.

    Shooting Goth in the stomach I felt was intentional, he didn't want to actually kill the butterfly, same way how he looks over his shoulder and sees it climbing out yet doing nothing.

    I legitimately thought Chris'/Peacmakers' reason for killing Goff and the cow was one of the most realistic aspects of a hero defeating a villain in a movie/show. It wasn't because he thought it was right or he wanted to be a hero...he did it because he cared about what his team thought and didn't want to let them down. No personal glory...just wanted to make his new friends happy. Then he goes and tells Adebayo (who betrayed him just like he betrayed Rick Flagg) that's she's his 2nd best friend next to Eagley. Such a good scene.

  • @twylezik9250

    I remember hearing that Peacemaker can see and hear the ghosts of the people he’s killed in his helmet and they give him advice and guidance, could be a call to that in the comics where his dad is where the helmet is, he even calls his dad a ghost

I’m glad Hardcourt didn’t die, I mean…if she was coughing up blood like that that fast, she probably would of died after however long it took them to go to the hospital but hey I don’t care, glad she lived. Vigilante was such perfect character, shit they all won me over by the end. Bravo.

    When the vision of Auggie falls over in the forest, they use a sound effect of him hitting the helmet on the ground. Then, Harcourt finds the helmet on the ground in the same spot. Peacemaker must have known the helmet was there if he imagined that sound effect.

    Peacemakers father helping him locate the helmet is similar (albeit more psychotic) to how Inigo Montoyas father guides him to the tree knot in the Princess Bride. Both take place in the forest and is a necessary moment process towards achieving the final goal.

Give us a couple more solo shows of other Suicide Squad members and then get them back together to take down Amanda Waller in SS sequel. I'd like to see a Ratcatcher, Polkadot Man, Deadshot and King Shark series.
