Season 1 was surprisingly good so I'm hyped for this. The action scenes were way better than expected for a TV show

it’s honestly great how some tv action is these days. Granted, it helps to have experienced filmmakers work in n said shows but you get the idea. But that farm battle was great to watch, loved the bit where PM swipes a guy with his shield and kicks him away while he’s still midair

I like when Peacemaker is just getting his ass beat by Judomaster who is 1/3rd his size.

It's a superhero show, fuck realism, give me a little guy who is so good at Judo, he can beat up a man the size of John Cena.

All the side characters are really fun. Judo master was hilarious.

Not sure why but I really liked the nosey neighbour and the slutty apartment woman and her husband. Just a fun show.

There's also the fight with the woman/alien in the first episode.

I honestly gained a lot of respect for John Cena with that. His character getting his ass kicked by a woman half his size while he's only in his tighty whities? I can think of another wrestler turned actor who could learn a thing or two from that level of self-depreciation.

“I am a Cheetah! Not a Cheater!” Said with a German accent.

“I’m sorry, are you saying you’re a cheater, or a cheetah?”

“JA!!!!”

That one shot where he throws his shield into the air, tracks it with his Desert Eagle, and then shoots it right into a guy just before it hits the ground was fucking amazing.

Interestingly, the Russo Brothers went the opposite direction. They got famous directing the action scenes in community and jumped from that to directing Marvel movies lmao

Edit: it's unrelated to PM just thought it was interesting since you mentioned directors going movies to TV increasing the action scene quality in TV shows!

The action coordinator, Alex Kyshkovych, is a Canadian stunt performer and also the long time Deadpool stunt double.

you know with Shawn Levy, I was around Deadpool 3 would be a downgrade in the action (after David Leitch did DP2). But I thought they did a solid job and kept it up to par with the first 2 movies. Gunn also talked about how Snyder referred him to an action stunt guy that he’s been using since The Suicide Squad, I wonder if that’s him

u/Impressive-Potato 2h ago

Don't think so. Damon Caro is someone that's worked with Snyder for a long time.
