EDITOR’S NOTE: This review contains spoilers for Peacemaker season 2.
After the release of this summer’s Superman (2025), DC fans all over the world rejoiced. The confusing managerial mess that was the DCEU would no longer haunt their hopes and dreams. The new DCU, led by former Marvel director James Gunn, would be a clean slate, a fresh new beginning.
Despite the clean slate, Gunn couldn’t help but integrate his own projects that were set in the DCEU into the DCU, namely Peacemaker.
I have never watched How to Train Your Dragon—an act of sacrilege until advertisements of its live action remake started bombarding my feed, and the shots I were seeing looked good. Interesting, at least.
To the theatre I went, with no expectations on plot or animation—just the hope to find a good remake.
I did, in fact, find a good movie. A great movie, even.
PART ONE: It’s a Good Movie
April of 2019. It was a beautiful day outside. Birds were singing, flowers were blooming, and on days like these kids like us would be playing a game of cricket. But not today. We were huddled in a circle, discussing theories for the upcoming Avengers movie. I was the main speaker, cooking up some mind blowing theories (I copied them from MatPat[1]). There was some sort of magic in those movies you couldn’t find anywhere else.
I don’t usually watch horror films (I get very scared), but the lunch table gang invited me to see the FNAF movie, so, of course, I made an exception this time. Also, I was intrigued after hearing mixed reviews from my classmates and decided I wanted to see it for myself.
I used to be terrified seeing the animatronics back in elementary school. That all went out the window after they released the Security Breach game a few years ago.
