An R-rating alone doesn't automatically guarantee quality but it can be a breath of fresh air in the superhero genre. After dominating the genre for roughly 20 years, the MCU's PG-rated limits can get repetitive, which is part of what made the shamelessly crass and gory Peacemaker so refreshing. What really makes Peacemaker a good example of adult-...
Just like in The Suicide Squad, the action in Peacemaker is scaled back. The sporadic fights were comprised of scuffles and gunfights, where computerized effects were only used when necessary. As a result, Peacemaker's fightshad a uniquely gritty feel to them that complemented the series' grounded tone and story. Contrast this with the Disney+ MCU ...
One of the best things about Peacemaker was its well-balanced cast. Besides his beloved pet eagle Eagly, Peacemaker had a small ARGUS team and the bloodthirsty Vigilante on his side. Peacemaker's allies got their time to shine and grow on audiences, while villains like the Butterflies and White Dragon made good use of their limited presence. Marvel...
Every now and then, MCU shows would reflect current events but usually only glossed over their topics. For example, The Falcon And The Winter Soldier didn't dive into the darkest aspects of racism, refugee crises, terrorism, and more because doing so would subvert the MCU's family-friendly appeal.

From The Suicide Squad all the way to Peacemaker's first season finale, Christopher Smith was not likable. He's a reforming supervillain with a lot of growing up to do. That being said, his imperfections and irredeemable past made him a compelling character who audiences quickly latched on to. Peacemaker was not afraid to commit to Christopher's vi...
To fully appreciate and make sense of most Marvel shows, a viewer ideally should have a certain amount of foreknowledge of the MCU and Marvel comics. For example, Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. is heavily reliant on the lore of the MCU and Marvel Comics, while Hawkeye is deeply rooted in Clint Barton's past actions and sins from his MCU appearances. This i...
Since they're part of the MCU, every Marvel movie and show looped back in some way to The Infinity Saga and what comes after. For example, Loki was both a sequel to The Avengers and the start of the multiverse that will play a big role in Phase 4. Problem is, Loki's journey of personal discovery was occasionally interrupted by this worldbuilding. R...
One of the biggest problems with Marvel shows is that many of them could've worked as two-hour movies. Around half of every Marvel show feels like repetitive filler that artificially prolongs the season. A good example of this is The Punisher series- an otherwise straightforwardrevenge-driven vigilante story that ran in circles for 26 episodes. Pea...
An enduring criticism of the MCU is that every installment feels more like a tease for the next big phase than a stand-alone story. An egregious example of this is WandaVision, which undermined its tragedy by setting up Wanda for Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness instead of giving her sins in Westview a proper resolution. While Peacemaker...
Simply put, Peacemaker's first season is an eight-hour James Gunn movie. Eight hours worth of Gunn's signature blend of schlock and humanity may not be right for everyone, but this is what gives his first streaming series an edge over all of the MCU's shows. It's obvious that Gunn, rather than a committee, made Peacemaker. Meanwhile, MCU series are...
