When we watched Suicide Squad 2.0 Peacemaker (short: PM) was skilled military type wearing fun shiny bucket for a hat with sad past.
In this show PM was reduced to a teenager locked in 40'ish year old body. He's not smart. He behaves like a 14'yo (horny) kid.. And it's grating after a while. He's also the underdog in this show. Almost nothing goes his way and he's usually the butt of the joke.
But the worst part is: because he behaves like a teenager and his thoughts are also of a teenager he doesn't really get to... emote like an adult. Might be weird, but imagine a clown crying on the street and you aren't sure if it's part of performance or actual tears.
The Deadpull ripoff was fun. But he also has the same problem as PM. He's acting like pure condensed idiot just for the sake of laughs.
Imagine a joke where a man slips on a banana peel. 10 times. Might have been funny the first time. But by the tenth time you just hope he'd have his skull cracked. That's how the jokes function in this show. They are repetitive and silly, borderline stupid.
Actress playing Emilia Harcout was wow.. I fell in love.
Clemson Murn was cool
Rest of characters (Economos, Adebayo) were okay'ish.
After watching this show I think James Gunn doesn't like southerners too much. Some trauma maybe?
But even with all of this.. You guys know what? It was fun.
