Did anyone else laugh their ass ass when Hardcourt and Peacemaker escaped Argus by flying through the glass?

Keith doesn't seem like a big enough threat for a season ender. But I guess it was a season more about Peacemaker going through shit than him being a hero this time.

I suspect we just saw the origins of the super villain for Peacemaker in season 3. Captain Triumph may fuck some thing up for Chris and he may have to kill him again!

I mean the Nazis were white supremacists.

That's a modern misconception.

They certainly were racist, but they didn't think white people were superior. They had a bizarre racial ladder that didn't group people together by skin colour. For example;

"Aryans" (specifically northern Europeans — Germans, Scandinavians, etc.) were at the top of this racial ladder.

"Slavs" (Poles, Russians, Ukrainians, etc.) were considered Untermenschen ("subhumans") — fit for enslavement or extermination. Near the bottom with the Jews.

They didn't see all non-whites as subhumans. The Nazis sometimes described Indians, especially upper-caste Hindus, as distant Aryan relatives, racially "diluted" but culturally linked to the original race. They put these non-white Hindus above white Slavs in their racial ranking. They even had Indian troops fighting for them.

So yes, they were racist, but they were not white supremacist.

Actually, racism isn't a fundamental part of fascism anyway. The vanilla fascists in Italy thought the Nazi obsession with race to be very bizarre. (I'm not defending fascism here, I'm just trying to clear up historical misconceptions)

Incredibly predictable season but I am still enjoying it. There was 1 episode I kind of tuned out of as it bored me but the rest have been decent to good.

I generally like all the characters which is rare these days. Fun group to watch, which is what Gunn is best at.

Don't see why Nazis winning WWII would jump to them taking over the world in the first place. Maybe take over europe for a few decades, but no way would they reach across to US or China

James Gunn says the finale will have a big cameo. I think it'll be Margo Robbie

Banking in on Ultraman or now Bizarro or something whoever the name of the clone was in the movie since he was thrown in the dimensional cracks

The nazi's got the nuclear bomb first, and nuked the US and completely obliterated russia.
Why wouldn't they reach across and instill their rule on a nation that's already surrendered under threat of annihilation? No invasion needed, just waltz in and take it, any rebellion/freedom fighters don't stand a chance either because japan is on the other side and moves in from there, they are hopelessly outgunned and outnumbered.

Actual nazi's during WWII reached all the way to south america, but somehow they wouldn't reach north america in the scenario where they have practically no opposition anymore?

We see that there are still drugs on Earth X, still deaths, still people suffering... She's correct.

Please, let's not be disingenuous. We both know what is implied here and I'm tired of this shit.
