I haven’t seen the whole season but Peacemaker S2 is pretty good so far. It’s not wildly different from other Gunn superhero media idk what this guy is on about. The opening song was better in S1 but that’s really the only complaint I have so far.

People don’t have a good understanding of how Germany became the Nazi Germany they see on television and movies.
It was a gradual change, and a lot of it seemed perfectly reasonable to the people who were favored by the Nazis.
The thing is, America seems to be speed running what was gradual in Nazi Germany. It should be very apparent that a lot of what is going on is not reasonable, but antithetical to American democracy and the ideals we claim to aspire to.
The takeaway for me is that a lot of these people who trying to normalize what’s going on or raising objections to the comparisons, are the same kind of people who knew exactly what was going on in Germany and actively participated in it, rather than the ones that just didn’t pay attention until it was too late or turned a blind eye.

I liked the episode, but that line is crazy. Your black mother was the head of Argus. Yes that is a better world than being in a work camp.

Yeah the first season didn’t have any white supremacy in it all /s SMH

Either he has no self-awareness whatsoever, or he knows what he’s saying and he’s a neo-Nazi. Of course, it could also be both.

Don’t buy this bs outrage from the x poster.
Basicly everyone had guessed that the other verse was universe X.
Ppl even questioned some of the extras about this.
Also Gunn literally wrote and directed the TV series Creature Commandos for HBO, where they had a character named GI Bot, whose entire purpose was to kill Nazis with utmost* glee.

Nazi. The word is Nazi. Stop censoring yourselves against something you feel strongly *against*. Call them what they are, not a bullshit watered down self censored version.

People seem to think Nazi Germany just started straight up with invading Poland and having death camps.
It didn’t. It started way simpler and by increments.
And America is on that path.

Make the Red Lanturns or the Guardians into Natzis. Wouldn’t be hard. Call this guys bluff.

How to spot someone who didnt watch season 1.
The whole alt world being nazi really helped sell the fact that with all we knew about peacemakers dad from season 1, it makes a lot of sense that hes successful in a far right world. Then the reveals made after this fact make the following moments hit so damn hard. Both as comedy and as dramatic moments.
They nailed season 2 imo.

Member when people chose Nazis as villains cause it was easy. Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Hogans Heroes etc. Artists chose Nazis as villains and antagonists because it was simple, easy, well morally defined right and wrong.
Now saying literal Hitler and Nazis are bad is “woke liberal bullshit”. Let me tell you in the past “when America was great” your villains were Soviets and Nazis, and we were all fucking fine with it cause we understood the moral paradigm. Now these dickheads lost the plot

I’ve seen this guy’s youtube videos regarding Marathon and Bungie.
Yeah…can’t say I’m surprised.
*Go from normal things everyone knows about and kinda agrees, and then suddenly:
“Their Early Alpha questionnaire asks your demographics, this woke DEI nonsense is just a shroud of an example as to why Bungie is failing *points at company culture* ”
*return to normal things
And yeah the thumbnail was very much conservative bait, which is what had me so curious. 5% of the video, cater to the worst kinds of people. Go figure.
And the dumbest part is how unnecessary it is to appropriately criticize this company. There’s more than enough ammo like the plagiarized art and company’s history of this.
EVEN the company culture doesn’t have a sunshine n roses history with woke subject matter, from internal bigotry, to trying to pitch “diversity groups” in the company that kinda just read off like segregation (least to me back in 2020). Regardless, NONE of that shit holds a candle to why that game is projected to fail immediately. So why even bring it up? Hate. Simple hate woven into everything for no reason (aside $$$).
And yet they wanna project that these things are being “forced down their throats”.

Awww diddums, is the poor ickle fascist upset about a show depicting Nazis as racist pieces of shit? He’d better not watch a large part of Hollywood output since WW2 then.

Finding Nazis distasteful is now “woke”….
On a side note, I really enjoy the show and loved Chris’ (Peacemaker) reaction when he picked up that flag lol.
Probably much like most of the audience’s reaction. Except MAGA, which I guess felt attacked….

Listen I’m all for criticizing James Gunn as much as possible and not liking some of the stuff he has done with DC, but bastards like this guy never act in good faith and are racists who are to scared to be open about it because they know that mentality is dumb and pathetic

I’m sure the Nazis appreciate you censoring that word for them.

Meanwhile Mike Mignola has been doing this with Hellboy for over 30 years. Nazis were the agreed upon bad guys. Most rational and tbh even non rational people agreed they were evil and undefendable. You wanted bad guys that were absolutely evil and not supernatural demons? You used Nazis.
