Peacemaker

Peacemaker tv show on HBO is a new DC superhero series.
After watching the new Suicide Squad on HBO I was hooked on this character.
This show is a combination of the Boys, Justice league and Guardian of the Galaxy. It is funny, violent and very comic book like. There are a lot of deep cuts from DC Comics on this show. Peacemaker himself is a bit of a deep cut. Like many of James Gunn’s movies the music is on point.

The Characters are great as are the actors that play them.

John Cena is really great in this show. Freddy Stroma is a great vigilante. When I heard the vigilante was on this show I thought it was the old west version.
Nope it’s the new version but a bit different than the comics.
They are the dynamic duo of this show and a hoot.
If I was in charge of DC I would give James Gunn a large dump truck of cash to keep making great series and movies for them.

The way he can take a comic book character who nobody knows anything about and make it a hit is amazing.
The rest of the cast is amazing. I figured that they wouldn’t be in it much but they are the team and they are great.
Danielle Brooks as Leota is good at being tough but also conflicted and not wanting to get to deep. Jennifer Holland as Harcourt is tough as they come and a great fighter. She takes Leota under her wing.
Chukwudi plays a great leader and I won’t ruin anything and spoil it.
Steve Agee might be the diamond in the rough I figured he would just be the computer geek of the group, but he is more. Annie Chang and Lochlyn Munro play a great buddy cop team. Nhut Le as Judomaster doesn’t have enough screen time but he’s fun to watch. But it is Robert Patrick who will make you hate him but also sometimes laugh at. When you watch please do me a favor and watch the song and dance intro in the beginning. Oh and Eagly for the win!
I will have a review of the show with spoilers after the last episode.

The Mandalorian

Hello Friends.
I have watched two episodes of eight of the Mandalorian.
I am a Star wars fan. The Mandalorian scratches my old school Star wars itch. We go back to a more dirty lived in place and a time five years after the Return of the Jedi.

The empire is falling apart and lawlessness is back and bounty hunters are used again. The Mandalorian doesn’t say much but when he talks there’s a reason. He picks up a bounty while fighting of some scum at a bar. He brings him back to his ship and the guy tries to find a way to escape but it doesn’t work. He puts him on ice. The two episodes are really crafted well. I am a fan of John Favreau and Dave Filoni. I really liked the Clone wars that Dave Filoni made. And everyone likes Iron Man. If it was me Dave Filoni would be in charge of Star wars. He knows what the fans want and gives it to us.

I am hoping that the quality doesn’t change but I don’t think it will. It really seems like a western and all the characters are great and really brings the world alive. They have started on season two already so we have that to look forward. Here’s hoping the other Star wars shows are as good.

Disney Plus launch

Hello Everyone.
Disney Plus launched today, or at least tried to launch.
There have been many problems on many platforms.
They also clearly didn’t have enough servers to get everyone going this morning. I downloaded and logged in to the service early like 4:00 am on my apple tv.
I had a few problems with the service. It seemed slow and not everything was showing. there were some movies I would see then they would be gone or moved. But luckily I it was easy to find the Mandalorian. It was the first thing i saw on the header of the screen.
I watched it twice and it is a really good TV show. I can’t wait for Friday for the next episode.

I have been reading and noticing things wrong with Disney plus.
When I went to my PC to look at things things didn’t work. Like when I clicked on the Mandalorian and it just sat there thinking and doing nothing. The other one was when I looked at a long list of shows it went from A to G and there was no arrow or anything to go to the next page or it didn’t scroll anymore. I am hoping most of the bugs and such are worked out by the weekend so I can watch a ton of shows.


Watching TV

Hello everyone.
I finished watching Stranger Things on Netflix this weekend.
Man just when you think things might slow down it really ramps up in the end. It’s odd seeing the kids grow up so quickly. It makes me think that time is really flying more than i think they are.
Dustin is still one of my favorites on the show but all the kids are great. Winona Ryder steps up the crazy but in a productive way.
I will re watch the show from the beginning before the summer is up just to see it as one complete show so far. Will do a bit of recap later after a month or so so people cant watch it.
Can’t wait for the next season. Duffer brothers get going on the new season.
