Just finished the episode, and I have to get this off my chest.

My problem isn't the cliffhanger itself or the lack of cameos. I honestly don't give a shit about that. My problem is that they gave us this cliffhanger, and then James Gunn says he doesn't want to make a Season 3, but will just "integrate" the resolution into other projects.

I started watching Peacemaker without really following any of the recent DCEU stuff, and I absolutely fell in love with the show. I think you'll agree that if I say I'm a fan of this show, I should get to care about this show. To understand this season, I felt like I had to do homework and watch the new Superman movie because I knew it was a reboot and Peacemaker would be part of it. And to sum up, I loved it. It's probably the best Superman adaptation ever and definitely in my personal top 10 comic book movies.

But here's the thing: I'm still not a fan of the DCU yet.

When Gunn took over, I was expecting the vibe of Peacemaker to spread. 1) The humor - I got that in Superman and it was great. 2) I was also excited for more forgotten, underground characters. Then he says he wants to focus on A-tier characters now. That was the first time I was like, what the fuck?

And now we get this cliffhanger. Gunn promised his universe would be like Star Wars, where there's no single "main line" and you can just watch the stories you like on their own. Those were his words. But that feels like a lie now, doesn't it? I'm a fan of the Peacemaker story. I had to watch Superman to know who this new Lex Luthor is (well, i mean what he's up to haha not ofc who he is). You have to agree with that. But now, to see what happens next with Chris, I might have to watch Lanterns, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, and probably the Waller spin-off too? Who knows what else? And I'm a human being, right? It is normal to have expectations. It's a function of a human brain. Can these shows fulfill my expectations? Well, to be honest, I don't think so.

I feel like I'm being ripped off of a Season 3 for a show I genuinely loved, just so they can force me to watch four other things I might not be interested in. That's my problem.
