The peacemaker enters his mid-season stride with a surprising revelation that changes the whole comedy. The film’s director started building up the characters in his weird cast of actors before surprising everyone with an unexpected twist. Finally, we find out what Project Butterfly really means and how it affects the world, but that is not all about these so-called villains. So, there are spoilers if you have not caught up with the series.
Peacemaker is premised on Christopher Smith (John Cena) who has recovered from his amnesia only to be re-captured by Amanda Waller (Viola Davis). He works under Clemson Murn (Chukwudi Iwuji), who leads a secret ARGUS team. Emilia Harcourt (Jennifer Holland) is the resident bad-ass while John Economos (Steve Agee) handles tech issues, and plucky newbie Leota Adebayo (Danielle Brooks) makes tactical support. Later, we learn that Leota was in fact sent to secretly monitor the team and report back to her mother because she brought her girlfriend on this mission. At the end of episode four, we see why Waller would do such a thing.
The ARGUS team sets up shop in Evergreen where Peacemaker grew up. Christopher Smith’s father is called August Smith (Robert Patrick), he is a violent racist maniac who hates the government with passion. His father trained him as a cold-blooded assassin who has worked for far right-wingers since then. He designs Peacemaker’s helmets; arms while residing within an enormous underground bunker situated inside…pauses…another pocket world! To make matters worse for his anti-hero son, August constantly belittles and humiliates him thus leaving him with no self-esteem whatsoever.
At the end of “A Whole New Whirled,” Peacemaker finds himself being attacked by one of his barfly hook-ups. She possesses superhuman strength, screeches like a banshee, and throws him around like a rag doll. He kills her by blowing up his sonic helmet. In the second episode called “Best Friends, For Never,” Clemson Murn informs him that Project Butterfly is real without giving any other information concerning it. While at it, John covers Peacemaker’s tracks by framing his father for the incident. August goes to prison who emerges as its white supremacist head known as White Dragon.
Episode three: Better Goff Dead sees ARGUS members trying to kill a senator and his family. As they open their mouths long tongues reach down and drink from green liquid bowls. The children cannot be shot by the sniper though he tries hard enough. A psychopathic friend of Peacemaker (Freddie Stroma), Vigilante takes care of that for him. Senator Goff captures Peacemaker while torturing Vigilante with electricity. Peacemaker is able to kill Goff. They are both in shock when something that looks eerily like a butterfly flies out of the back of its head.
Episode four “The Choad Less Traveled” zeroes in on the series objectives. But Leota tells Peacemaker his father has been set up. He insists on being taken to jail. Although he needs to go back to base with Judomaster (Nhut Le) whose Goff’s kidnapped bodyguard has escaped from custody. So she talks Vigilante into going undercover as a prisoner and kill Peacemaker’s dad. Before Judomaster can reveal anything about the Butterflies, she blows him away too. Back at his trailer, Peacemaker breaks down in tears thinking of the day he killed Rick Flagg and lost his brother when they were kids. Once inside a jar, Goff Butterfly is still alive. It had died, however, per what he told them about it before he spoke to any team members. Vigilante does not shoot August Smith who now requests for a meeting with arresting detectives though.
Clemson Murn stands by himself in the final scene where he puts a long tongue into a pot of something making him one of these insects.
During its opening three episodes all that happens is Peacemaker talking with people around him. This funny dialogue is amusing and provides some key information or plot points for example; why Christopher feels bad about having killed someone else even if this individual wasn’t human and thus didn’t have rights as humans do; regardless of how much noise CP makes about saving innocent lives, self-doubt keeps eating him alive because deep down inside himself, there is nothing more than product vicious upbringing; ARGUS might have chosen her just because she was leading Project Butterfly which could be suspicious since anyone could easily be alien assuming human form, just like Chris Wray or Andrew McCabe who still work at big government agencies then decide later on becoming CNN news correspondents – seems odd right? Thus Amanda Waller had needed such a person whom she would rely on without any doubts. Does Clemson Murn deserve to be called a villain? But before Judomaster could speak his mind about it, he died. The Butterflies may not actually be the problem here. This Butterfly that Peacemaker holds will undoubtedly feature further on.
Xenophobia, gun violence and right-wing extremism are slyly satirized by James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy, The Suicide Squad). So there is a dichotomy between Peacemaker and Leota. Her character looks beyond his fundamentalism to see a man in crisis. Underneath all the crudeness of the show, there is something much deeper at play here. However, Gunn does not want to get political with his film just in case it might alienate some viewers; instead, he uses sexuality or violent scenes for shock value as well as using bad language that can help him drive home some important issues about human behavior really effectively too. Supposing that these butterflies turn out to be refugees would not come as a surprise to me at all though I must admit it would need one helluva good explanation from Gunn regarding how they then managed to inhabit humans.
The second part of Peacemaker announces further prospects for its greatness going forward. Finally, I have been enthralled by the plot escalating its pace episode four onwards even though it was quite fast-paced already up until this point. Now we were able get behind our characters’ actions as soon as screenwriter started doing his job better than ever before supplying them with appropriate motives which made sense within their situations thus allowing us finally understand why they acted like that from very beginning because starting shows off slowly but surely giving away everything while leaving nothing left unsaid so viewers who’re completely unfamiliar with such stories can follow along without difficulty but still find something new during every scene due continuous switchbacks without getting lost amidst stacks upon piles making enough sense based solely around linear narrative progression whereas smart directors make artful decisions – including what kind of reveals or plot twists they might have at various stages – instead relying on these things. In fact, the producers decided to air the first three episodes concurrently.
