Peacemaker Season 2 |OT| In what world is he the hero?

Is James Gunn a racist? The utopia world has no minorities and everything is great there.

Swamp Thing Vol 2 153 features an Earth-X analogue where the Nazis never were defeated. In 1995, Hitler's son is the new Führer, married to Marilyn Monroe, who has not commited suicide in that universe. All ethnic groups except white ones had been exterminated, hunger and poverty had been eradicated, and the civilization lived in harmony with the nature, without pollutants.


Very mixed messaging here. How about making "Germany wins WWII" plots unambiguously horrific.

It is probably horrific, for those not in power that is. Our point of view has been restricted to that bubble so far. I'd imagine future episodes will show how fucked up this world actually is.

Hunger and poverty eradicated. Pretty good economics.
 
I like the jokes more this season and I think the character moments are also better but the story could have been told more efficiently. I feel like having two separate episodes where ARGUS tries to break into Chris' house was redundant. Especially for him to get away, get captured, and then getting away again the next episode. It's like the story is doing the scooby-roo run cycle where the characters aren't actually moving at all.

I think all the jokes with Vigilante are so much funnier this season. Everything with him this last episode is absolutely hilarious.

Vigilante is the star of the show. Guy talking to the same version of himself was something else, also his "bat cave" goddamn 😅😅😅
Makes total sense, he's said he's killed a fuck ton of people, he goes after dealers and had been doing it since before Peacemaker went to jail but I never thought he was hording the stuff.
 
Just though of something about the issue between the two Vigilantes.

Our Vigilante knows that the other dimension Peacemaker is already dead, so he can just tell himself that and the issue goes away. Other Vigilante might have a problem working with Peacemaker but he won't be trying to murder him.
