u/crazycraft24 1d ago

My friend is a casual watcher and he couldn’t tell what has been changed in the recap even though he watched the season 1 just a month ago before watching Superman. He said that he remembers the Justice Gang scene being there in season 1.

u/Daimakku1 1d ago

He said that he remembers the Justice Gang scene being there in season 1.

And that's how the Mandela Effect starts lmao

u/captainhooksjournal 1d ago

Season 1 re-release with new DCU cut

u/Peanut_Butter_Toast 1d ago

For real tho, I'd be all for that.

u/hollybeep 1h ago

that's how it starts, sir. the 3 year gap, the memory loss, the mandela effect that turns the justice league into the justice gang

u/AmaterasuWolf21 1d ago

Beautifully done gaslighting, bravo Gunn

u/Easter-burn 1d ago

The next thing your friend gonna say is Peacemaker wears a jetpack in season 1 and his father is a lovely old man with no racism in his body at all.

u/rwb124 1d ago

Oh the Malala effect.

u/Own_Heart_2584 1d ago

I now really want to know how Peacemaker’s talk with Jamil in the first episode changed in this universe!

u/No_Independent8195 1d ago

Seriously? I just did a Peacemaker marathon on HBO Max and the Justice League scene is very much there with the "you fuck fish" thing.

u/crazycraft24 1d ago

He didn’t follow DCEU. Peacemaker was his second DC watch(after Creature Commandos). He just recalled that a bunch of people showed up at the end of S1.

2

u/No_Independent8195 1d ago

To be fair, I don't really follow it either. I've been dicing with Creature Commandos because...I'm just really not into animated stuff but have watched the animated JL/Superman/Batman movies. I'm not really familiar with any of the characters there either.

What's even more hilarious is that batmans silhouette wasn't even there in the first season. It mightve been added in later but I remember wondering "where is bats?"

u/Crimson-Cowl 1d ago

Batman and Cyborg weren’t there. This is an edit.

"Retcon" thats a thing now too.

u/hollybeep 1h ago

kind of retcon but kinda not because "previously in the dcu" so it's immediately established as a different universe
i wonder if dcu peacemaker will meet dceu peacemaker eventually to address the "retcons"

u/JoeMamma559 1d ago

So who is all on the bottom half now? (Sorry I just started keeping up with dc again)

u/Zzz05 1d ago

Left to right:

Mr Terrific, Superman, Green Lantern (Guy Gardner), Hawk Girl, Supergirl

62

u/WySLatestWit 1d ago

The one surprise for me was Supergirl. I did not get the impression that Supergirl was a public figure yet when watching Superman.

22

u/zakary3888 1d ago

Yeah, like you’d think Lex would’ve brought her up in one of his rants

23

u/WySLatestWit 1d ago

I suppose it's possible she's "active" but not necessarily "public" about who and what she is yet.

21

u/D-Speak 1d ago

Or maybe she was visiting the Fortress when Superman got the call from the Justice Gang, and Supes just said, "Hey, up for a field trip?"

u/straydog1980 1d ago

More like Kara could you please watch Krypto and Kara is like Krypto needs a walk anyway and then Kara is like oh y'all doing a group pose, I'm in and Krypto is in the back snapping at fleeing butterflies

Mr. Terrific, superman, guy Gardner, hawk girl, Supergirl, just the heroes seen in Superman.

It's nice that supergirl sobered up for a night. Maybe a condition for Kal to watch her dog.

u/Drew_of_all_trades 1d ago

I would love it if they’d re-release the first season finale with the new ending, for consistency’s sake.

2

u/smugfortune_ 22h ago

No need if it's recapped

2

u/Drew_of_all_trades 19h ago

Yeah, but if you’re binge watching and go from season 1 right into 2, it’d be nice to have the correct ending in there.

u/hollybeep 1h ago

i really don't want james gunn to george lucas season 1. I kind of like the way they did this (recapping it and show what's different) and would love it if they address the dceu vs dcu differences in s2 and even if they don't, it'll still be a good time for me. i don't need everything explained lol

for example, the fans are going to want s1 eagley back and not s2 eagley lol

u/Ill_Document_1156 1d ago

I don't recall Batman and Cyborg showing up in S01.

u/Ill_Document_1156 46m ago

The Mandela effect this reboot is going to create is gonna be legendary.

u/WatcherWatches_21 1d ago

Wait, everybody? Can’t some of the members stay? Like Superman?

Fine. (Releases Superman 2025)

What about Batman??

That’s not how the spell works.

So, you’ll use Battinson instead?? Matt Reeves is not going to like that.

Okay, fine! (Announces Brave and the Bold casting)

Any chance Wonder Woman will return?

Stop tampering with the spell!

But, then you have Jason Momoa as Lobo. Won’t he still play as Aquaman?? And, then Flash, too? I mean, he screwed it up himself in Hawaii. What about Cyborg??

STOP TALKING!!! (The Batman II and Brave and the Bold releases at the same year which causes a “huge” misunderstanding)

What just happened??

Before what you wish for! You know that spell you botched when you wanted everybody to forget the Justice League existed at the end of Peacemaker… Well, we started to get some visitors. (Various characters of The Suicide Squad from the old DCEU start to cross over to the new DCU)

u/AverageJay_77 3h ago

u/Troyabedinthemornin 1d ago

I think many of us wish we could forget the DCEU justice league

u/hollybeep 1h ago

honestly, their best moment was in the peacemaker s1. made me wish there was an actual justice league movie that didn't suck because seeing them was pretty hype ngl

u/Daimakku1 1d ago

The DCEU has become a Mandela Effect.

u/hollybeep 1h ago

i will lose my shit if they start calling the berenstain bears the bernstein bears <3

u/sunnykhandelwal5 1d ago

So it is possible that we saw season 1 where peacemaker was in the snyderverse. And then now we’re seeing a (different) peacemaker that exists in the DCU where all the same events happen except and he calls justice gang at the end instead of JLU. No memory wiping is required for this

u/Certain_Fig_666 1d ago

Literally I watched the finale and s2 premiere back to back and I was like “is this a story choice relating to the multiverse?” I felt so gaslit also. But this is the actual meaning of gaslit- lying and changing things to make people question their memory of reality!

u/RJSA2000 1d ago

That orgy scene wasn't really necessary. I got a shock and a half lol. Wonder how many kids saw that now cause they want to see the follow up from Superman.

1

u/JukeTheHitbox 1d ago

Straight up what we're seeing is just an alternate universe. I've got this inckling that Peacemaker season 2 is actually just a parallel timeline. Meaning there could be a moment where DCU Peacemaker actually comes across the DCEU Peacemaker in some way shape or form. Gonna have to see how the season plays out😎👍

u/No_Independent8195 1d ago

I'll fucking gladly do that.

u/Ozaaaru 1d ago

Who cares, what actually matters is if he can do a good DCU. I don't think he can after watcching Superman Legacy and seeing him green light so many projects so fast. The MCU had this exact problem of too much to keep up with, it was and still is, detrimental to the general audiences.

Why would Gunn think and assume his version will be any different? Actually what's worse is that Gunn is fast tracking the "too much too soon" plan off the bat instead of following the footsteps of phase 1 MCU with the solo Films first with no shows that lead into a JL film.

Gunn's DCU is already too scattered with different timelines, character ages and event dates that it's already pushed itself into many potholes that Gunn needs to pull himself out of now.

10

u/Razorspades 1d ago

Too much too soon? All we have this year is two shows and one movie. Next year is Supergirl and Clayface for films and Lanterns is the only known show for next year. It isn't that overwhelming. We just know a bunch of the projects coming up is all.

-2

u/Ozaaaru 1d ago edited 1d ago

Yes but once 2026 stuff comes that turns into 3 shows to keep up with, then the 2 films right, that's already a lot for the GA to keep track of.

I'm personally good with the 2026 DCU slate as it's simple with just Lanterns as the show but even then, I don't see the GA tuning in to projects like Clayface, the Authority, Waller, swamp thing, booster gold, paradise lost, Maybe Teen Titans & Lanterns are the only shows I see a huge turn out for but the rest are highly questionable.

This is what I'm talking about when I said "too much too soon" plan. A lot of these characters the GA don't have a damn clue about and most likely won't be interested to tune into if it becomes homework.

This is what happened to the MCU. It started easy with Agents of Shield then went over board with characters and ensembles, but that was AFTER the success of the Phase 1 - 3 of the infinity saga.

Gunn hasn't even started filming WW, Batman, Green Lantern & Flash solo films to do a JL film yet but he thinks he can get the GA to tune into all these other lesser known to the public characters to maybe stick around for a JL film by 2035 the latest. I don't buy the BS cope that people are shouting.

I haven't watched Legacy either. Neither of us have.

u/Ozaaaru 1d ago

Why didn't u watch it? The trailer was actually good, the film fell flat for me. like a 6/10 for me. I was expecting like GOTG 1 writing NOT style, but it wasn't close. I love GOTG 1 it's a 9/10 for me.

1

u/Fexxvi 1d ago

OK, enough trolling from me: there is no Superman Legacy, it's only Superman.

1

u/Ozaaaru 1d ago

Legacy was it's name and an easier way to separate it from Reeve's Superman. I call Reeve's Superman, Returns is returns, MoS is MoS and Legacy is Legacy.

It's much easier and everyone understands which film I'm talking about when I say Superman Legacy or Gunn's Superman.

I don't know if you also had these memes in english, but when DSitMoM released, it originated a lot of memes in hispanic countries with Strange fucking up the spell while saying "AAAH IT'S TOO MUCH S*X/THE S*X IS OUT OF CONTROL". That also happened to James Gunn's spell for sure.

u/Imaginary_Unit5109 1d ago

If still want to create his own justice league still. It why he named them Justice Gang which i believe is not apart of the comics. So he made a new team for his movies and show. While, he could have choose the Guardians, Justice Society. He made up his own team name because he plan to used the other teams for future projects.

"Entire World". Such an indulgent and ignorant post by OP. Literally Superman tanked in international markets, when he is supposed to be the most known DCU hero besides Batman. Nobody outside the reddit/X nerd community have ever heard about Peacemaker or care about it, and then such a hubris that people actually would care who appeared in climax for some thing non existent is downright funny.
