The season 2 finale of Peacemaker“Full Nelson”, aired last Thursday, and we want to know what you thought of the 8 episodes of James Gunn’s latest DCU project, which is based on the events of Creature Commandos animated series and the recent Superman restart.
Peacemaker Season 2 was a big hit with critics (it’s actually rated higher than Season 1, Creature Commandos And Superman on Rotten Tomatoes), but fans didn’t seem as won over by the continuation of the adventure of Chris Smith and the 11th Street Kids.
The finale, in particular, was considered underwhelming and underwhelming by those expecting more cameos, surprises, and perhaps one or two big action set pieces (to be fair, Gunn delivered that “really, really big cameo” with an appearance from Nicholas Hoult’s Lex Luthor in episode 6).
“Full Nelson” also laid at least some groundwork for the future of the DCU with the founding of Checkmate and a revenge-fueled Rick Flag Sr., establishing his villainous turn by kidnapping Chris and stranding him in Salvation, the Earth-like dimension that Flag intends to use as a prison for the planet’s metahumans.
Ultimately, Gunn’s style will always be divisive — and we can’t imagine Peacemaker season 2 is making converts!
