Fuck you, James Gunn. That's all I have to say.
Okay. I have more to say. I'm going to take a break from being angry at my shoulder for not functioning to being angry at James Gunn for jerking me around. I thought Ep07 was really good and looked forward to finding out where the final would take us. Well, you start by seeing Peacemaker in Jail and then you go spend a half hour watching Argus open doors to alternate universes. Then there is a giant bait and switch which leads to a cliffhanger. Only problem. They have already said there won't be a season 3 of Peacemaker. The inter webs inform us this movie will tie directly into the next Superman movie. I think the next Superman movie is slated for 2027. Thanks for nothing. Can't anyone write a stand alone anymore. Do we always have to be left hanging for the next dopamine fix?
And there is a lot of self indulgence on Gunn's part, too. In many spots, he does what he thinks is entertaining without gauging if the audience has similar sensibilities. Granted, he is one of the top directors working today so he must have some sense of audience taste. But I think in the TV realm, he lets his inner like off the chain for a bit. Music choices would be number one on that list.
Finally, am I the only one who thinks it's strange for a writer/director to be directing his wife falling in love with another man? It always feels a bit creepy to me.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
